Congrats Manchester United.

I have to commend Manchester United on their League Cup win on Sunday. A very good performance against Aston Villa and of course, Rooney who just seems to be scoring in every game that he plays, scored the game winner. It was nice to see Owen get a goal in a final as well, but it seems that the injury bug has bitten him once again.

As much as I think Owen is "over the hill" you must feel for him. Injuries have taken a toll on the now 30 year old and it seems like he would not be able to live up to the hype that was associated with him early in his career. Manchester already has a thin attacking core and with Owen gone the rest of the season would be interesting how they maintain their goal-scoring edge. With the EPL and Champion's League titles still up for grab it would be a tough challenge. However, kudos to Alex Ferguson for always remaining competitive now matter what personnel he has to work with.

Until next time, football is more than just a sport...it's a way of LIFE!

Congratulations Manchester United!

Well, as the saying goes, give honor where honor is due. Manchester have played consistent football all season and are now champions of the EPL. This time, Ronaldo didn't have a "spectacular" year like last time, but they played total team football, with defense being their most impressive trait. To all my friends and those of you out there who support Man U, I say you really saw something there that I didn't, but you were right. Chelsea just didn't have that "killer" instinct this year, but like true competitors, we will be back next year.
One thing though, just when you thought Alex Ferguson was done, he wins back to back EPL titles and has the chance to repeat at the CL. He is definitely something special!

I love this sport.

Cheers,
Deon
