Nani and his circus tricks

Red Devils fans rejoice. For your majestic team played majestically, and the Gooners had no answer to the excellence of the Nani-Anderson two punch.

Really, the Man-of-the-match was a toss-up between Rooney and Nani, even though I personally felt that the center midfield trio of Carrick, Fletcher and Anderson deserved a mention. Eventually Rooney was to win it, largely due to him being the lesser of the two sportsmanship evils.

What am I talking about? Nani would have won it (1 goal and 2 assists) if it wasn’t for the below.

While the video is loading, what is this GoFloyd thingy that everybody is talking about? Gotta check it out at Google…

Manchester United VS Arsenal – The Small Potato FA CUP Preview

Man Utd will be licking their wounds following their 1-2 EPL loss to Man City over the weekend – but don’t expect a loss of confidence. With the memories of Munich behind them and the return of my untouchable YFF-er Wayne Rooney, Man Utd will most likely turn the Gunners into Goners in the FA Cup.

Arsenal, on the other hand, will be missing some key players due to injury like Rosicky, Hleb, Senderos, Clichy, and possibly Adebayor and Flamini. This will not look good in such a crucial game for both teams, but I expect their manager Arsene Wenger has an ace up his sleeve. We’ll see …

Expect these key players to shine:

1. Rooney. The man from Croxteth usually shines on big games. I am expecting him to juggernaut his way through the Arsenal defense.
2. Fabregas. As expected, he will supply the ammunition needed to blast Man Utd to Loserville.
3. Anderson. He has been looking good and getting better all the time. Just needs a goal which he might just get.
4. Ferdinand. Though part of the shambolic defense that contributed to the Man City loss, one does forget that his partnership with Vidic is one of the reasons why Man Utd are competing for honours this season.
5. Toure. His return may be the key to Arsenal winning the midfield battle.

My prediction: Manchester United 1 Arsenal 0
