Well it wasn’t a classic that’s for sure. These days it has become apparent to me that waking up at 4:30 Pacific Standard Time to watch my beloved Manchester United is the action of stupid man not interested in his health and sleeping pattern. Frankly, the past few years has taught me to expect a Ferguson game plan and squad selection that would leave me cold and disappointed.

Ever since the Premier League was started back in 1992 Manchester United have gone from strength to strength. 12 League titles, most wins, most goals scored, and thanks to a bullet header from a certain Cristiano Ronaldo against Middlesbrough, United were also the team to reach 1000 goals first. The Premier League has been United’s league, and with Arsenal and Chelsea both having 9 less titles than us we can rightfully claim it to be our trophy. It is very hard to create a Top 10 list of our best Premiership goals the last 19 years, but here is the choice based on quality, magnitude, and being the type of goal only a Manchester United player could score.

Well, it seemed like another day ‘out back of wood shed’ with Chelsea being the latest victim fed to the wood chipper. Sounds better than another day in the office or walk in the park I think. Manchester United took care of business and disposed of Chelsea in what must go down as one of the most exciting end-to-end matches between the sides. This game had a bit of everything and it could easily have ended up in a 5-5 draw. Both teams played well offensively and both had numerous scoring chances but in the end the difference was our width and our touch of class when it comes to finishing off our chances even though we were wasteful today and oh so very sloppy.

There is light at the end of this seemingly endless tunnel otherwise known as the international break – next week, Manchester United will once again be starting their Champions League campaign, with Sir Alex Ferguson determined to go one step better than last year. But before the Premier League champions can think of tackling European nemesis Barcelona, they must overcome Benfica, FC Basle and Otelul Galati in their six group stage games.

What madness, what a feeding frenzy the transfer deadline has become in the world of football and especially in the English Premier League. Personally, I will never understand the last minute strategy being used to acquire players. Sure
Some teams will sell at a lower price as they are desperate to unload a high priced player that no longer suits their needs and sure some teams hope to get top dollar for players because of the needs of contending teams to fill their requirements. Still, the procrastination and last second dramatics seems all so unnecessary to me.

August 28th, 2011. A day that will live in infamy…..for Arsenal fans at least. But more importantly, a day where two long time rivals met at the crossroads of their careers do establish their paths for the future.
“Sunday, Bloody Sunday” as the song goes, truly is an apt title for what took place at Old Trafford this fateful day. Two fierce and proud rivals collided, and by the end of the day only, one was left standing while the other literally had to be picked up piece-by-piece and placed in a series of body bags after a slaughter that forced me to think of Old Trafford as the second coming of other hallowed grounds such as Hastings, Agincourt and dare I say it, Waterloo.

Manchester United’s Champions League campaign will see them travel to Portugal, Switzerland and Romania to face opposition who, on paper, appear to offer little resistance to a successful group stage.
The draw this year was particularly brutal to many teams especially the other three English entries. While United received a fairly easy ride to the knockout stage others were not so fortunate.

The second part of my 2011/12 season preview will focus solely on Manchester United and the likelihood of success in the EPL and ECL. I briefly went through the top five or six teams in part one and have predicted that City would finish second, Liverpool third, Arsenal fourth and Chelsea and Spurs fighting it out for fifth. Obviously nothing is written in stone and injuries, bad luck and poor player form could derail the best of teams, but I do believe that when one looks at things closely enough, Manchester United are not only better than last years club, they look capable of running away with it.
