I'M NOT sure if Man Utd deserves to be in the final of the European Cup. Their fans would probably think so, but to me, Barcelona was denitely the team which provided more of the entertainment.
That aside, the semi final played at Old Trafford, was a nail-biting 90 minute encounter. Paul Scholes goal separated the two sides, enough to take the Red Devils to Moscow for the finals on May 21.

ThakSin beli Manchester City, so harumlah nama Thailand di antarabangsa. Singapura pun dah set up football training institute dengan kelab Itali(lupa yang mana satu). Apa kata kita juga follow the same suit, Kerajaan joint venture dengan beberapa giant club untuk set up Universiti Sepakbola. Tentu ramai foreigners nak masuk uni tu.

Arsenal forever. Go Gunners!
p/s - Mathematically, If MU and Chelsea lose both remaining EPL games and Arsenal wins both, Arsenal will become EPL champions. I'd love to see that happen.
Tok,
Di Malaysia pun ada MU.
Mahkota United.
Hidup MU.
Agak-agak saya sokong mana?
Tok, MU pun banyak nilai hiburannya ...
