Why Manchester United deserve the Premier League-Champions League double!

Chelsea have hung on to Sir Alex Ferguson's coat tails with an frustatingly enduring quality - but it's still not enough. Arsenal fell off the ladder last week and Liverpool never really got on it.

'In terms of experience, management, youth, ability, longevity and attitude, I believe Manchester United tick every box'Of the current Big Four in English football, it is Chelsea and Manchester United who are currently challenging for both the Premier League and Champions League crowns.

Sportingo authors have exhausted the numerous reasons for Arsenal's highs and lows this season. All I will say is that if Arsene Wenger adds a no-nonsense leader of a centre-back and a penalty-box striker, coupled with keeping the fantastic talent that he has, then next season could be their year.

Liverpool's long-running sideshow this season has involved everyone from CEO Rick Parry to the American money-mad clowns to poor Rafael Benitez. Some shady characters have also helped to hinder Steven Gerrard and perhaps his constant neck injury this season has been caused by constantly looking over his shoulder. It's better than Brookside used to be - and a serious and embarrassing situation for a very prestigious and proud club to be mixed up in.

Manchester United and Chelsea fans have taken great pleasure in Liverpool's abject failure to sustain even a vaguely dangerous threat to the Premier League crown. In such trying times for the Anfield club, it has been a massive achievement to climb as far as they have in the Champions League.

If two finals and one astounding win had not been achieved, then the Merseyside club's supporters would have had nothing to hit back with. For many a season now, especially at this time, the Scousers have begun their predictions for the following term and who Liverpool will bring in to help them reach the summit. Hope, as they say, springs eternal.

Sir Alex Ferguson has seen and done it all before, while Chelsea have Jose Mourinho's legacy and spirit still with them. I do not rate Avram Grant and cannot see him being at the helm next season. With the players at his disposal it would have been an almighty disaster if Chelsea were not where they are right now. Grant didn't really have anything to fix after Mourinho's departure because nothing was broken. He has stabilised Chelsea but not tinkered too much. He hasn't needed to.

Chelsea have tasted Premier League glory recently and may grab it again this season; this Sunday will/should resolve everything. With the modern demand of leagues in Spain, Italy and Germany it is extremely difficult for teams to win domestically and also lift the Champions League, AC Milan and Liverpool being prime examples.

At this stage both sets of fans, Chelsea and Man United, will be foaming at the mouth with the prospect of winning both. If given the choice of one or the other, I do not see how any fan could choose. Perhaps some United fans would sacrifice the Premier League this season for Champions League glory. Ditto Chelsea. It is an intriguing question.

It is rather easy for Liverpool supporters for obvious reasons. Arsenal fans would have been going through exactly the same as the fans of the top two only a few short weeks ago. If you can't have both, one must weigh up the options of which one is wanted more.

If Liverpool were challenging on both fronts, would their fans' attitude change due to the years piling up since they were England's top dogs? Would Arsenal fans gladly take any one of them?

There is no doubt everyone would take both - but who is really equipped in terms of experience, management, youth, ability, longevity and attitude? As much as it pains me to say (and I support ManUTD) I believe Manchester United tick every box.

In terms of footballing ability, out of the top two in England and top four in Europe, United just shade Barcelona as the team who deserve to win the Champions League - for playing football how it should be played.

Gtak Customisation

If you are absolutely a gmail user, and like gmail chat, here is some small tips you can play with.

Always set some attracting status message which suit to your character.

1)

If you wan to make bold , just add under score before and after a particular word.

Eg: if you want status like below:

“The score never interested me, only the game.”

Set your status as:

“The *score* never interested me, only the game.”

2)

If you want to make it in italics, like below

“The score never interested me, only the game.”

do this:

“The score _never interested_ me, only the game.”

(dont remember the white space after _ and before _)

Also you can add Unicode character in your status. What to do is select some Unicode character from some website or here and paste on your status message . (not the Unicode number, but the character)

You can use gmail chat imoticons also as your status message

Dream big!

i recently came across a quote from pat riley, an nba basketball coach, that says this:


"great effort springs naturally from great attitude"
a well stated truth in my experience. it made me think about how i have been approaching some of the goals in my life. what is my attitude about this endeavor or that project?

it's not something we are necessarily accustomed to paying attention to. we plan and strategize, we consult with others about the best methods or the right tools to go after what we want, but we don't always remember to choose the proper attitude.

and even when we do think ahead and choose an attitude that is likely to inspire us and move us forward, it often fades away as we delve deeper into our project and encounter road blocks or u-turns.

if you find yourself dreading working on that project you wanted to add joy and excitement to your life, something might need adjusting. or if the goal you set for yourself last month which seemed like a great challenge now inspires boredom, perhaps your approach is not as effective as it might be.

what attitude are you taking to the current projects in your life?

where could your approach use adjusting?

as always i'd love to hear your thoughts, feel free to post 'em here!

dream big,approach is everything!

I'm more of a listener than a talker, a keen observer of people's mannerisms, a big dreamer and I usually don't let anythin come in between me and my dreams.

I'm at TOTAL peace with myself, i get bored REEEAL fast, I'm extra extra lazy and Music is the colour in my life.

I'm no expert, but I'd like to take this space to say somethin that I've noticed over the period of my life till now:

i learned
"When men are angry or impatient, its just that they're either hungry, sleepy or just plain BORED"
