Darren Fletcher: Ronaldo Not To Blame

Darren Fletcher insists Cristiano Ronaldo was not to blame for United's dramatic defeat at West Ham on Saturday.

The Portuguese winger's penalty miss - after his earlier opening goal - squandered the chance to put United 2-0 up, but Fletcher insists that defensive lapses were culpable for the shock loss.

"To lose like that, late on in the game after battling so hard for most of the match, is disappointing," Fletcher told MUTV. "Ronaldo missed his penalty but that can happen, we're still in a comfortable position 1-0 up and then it comes down to set-pieces.

"It's not him to blame, he's been fantastic for us and won us many games and many points. We were still in a winning position, so it's nothing to do with the penalty that lost us the game today. It was individual errors at set-pieces that have cost us."

The defeat saw United drop points for the first time in a hectic Christmas period, and Fletcher is already looking ahead to Birmingham's visit to Old Trafford on New Year's Day.

"Every time you drop points or lose, you have to pick yourself up and go on another winning run," he said. "We wanted to get through the Christmas period with maximum points and put pressure on the teams below us, but unfortunately that's not happened.

"We've got to pick ourselves up for Birmingham now and get three points and go on another winning run. We can't wait for that game to come now."

Wes Brown: We Let Ourselves Down

Wes Brown admitted "we let ourselves down" by conceding two late goals from set-pieces as the Reds slumped to a 2-1 defeat against West Ham.

The Reds had taken a first-half lead through Cristiano Ronaldo's header, while the Portuguese winger could have doubled the advantage after the break but missed from the penalty spot.

However, Brown refused to blame Ronaldo and simply insisted the Reds should have defended better.

"We got the lead and we've conceded from two set-pieces that we should have dealt with," Wes told MUTV. "We've let ourselves down.

"It was a tough game for us, but when we went in front we thought we would settle down and start passing. But we didn't get into our usual game. They kept going and caught us out with two set-pieces.

"If we had scored from the penalty then we would have been 2-0 up. Unfortunately Ronny missed it, but we were still winning 1-0 and we were still in control. We possibly dropped too deep after that, which put pressure on us."

It was a bad way to end the season, but Wes says there is no option but to look forward to the next game against Birmingham City on New Year's Day.

"We need to lift our heads for the match against Birmingham and hopefully go on a run of results. We need to get over this defeat. We'll all be thinking about it tonight, but the next game comes around quickly and we have to forget about it and make sure we do the job in the next match."

Sir Alex: The Better Team Won

Sir Alex Ferguson was magnanimous in defeat as United slipped to a dramatic 2-1 reverse at West Ham, conceding that the Hammers had been clearly the better side.

After only a third league defeat of the season, however, the United manager admits his side need to embark on a long winning run as the season enters a nitty-gritty stage.

"We didn't play well, particularly in the first half," Sir Alex told MUTV. "They were very aggressive, tackled everywhere and we never got our game going.

"I don't think we deserved to be in front to be honest with you. They were the better team, they had two or three attempts, hit the bar, had a few efforts scrambled away from our penalty area and really we just didn't perform.

"I still couldn't see us losing, but losing two goals from set pieces tells you everything. If you're losing goals at set-pieces then there's something wrong, your performance isn't at the top level. You can't afford to do that."

While at a loss to explain United's below-par display at Upton Park, Sir Alex - who served the first of a two-match touchline ban - is all too aware of the need to avoid such slips going into the second half of the season.

"Sometimes you have to say that, from time to time, human beings are going to have a bad performance," he said. "I can't pick out a player who played well for us today, and that tells the story.

"It's a rare disappointment, we don't usually get as bad a performance as that. I think we need to go on a long run now because you're coming to the crucial part of the season. In many ways the season starts on January 1st.

"The run-in involves the Champions League and FA Cup, it's a congested fixture list and you have to have the squad and you have to have players performing properly."

Man. United Beaten At Upton Park

Cristiano Ronaldo's missed penalty for Manchester United proved crucial at West Ham as the Premier League champions were beaten at Upton Park.

United got an early let-off when Hayden Mullins hit the woodwork and Mark Noble blazed high from the rebound.

Ronaldo quickly made the Hammers pay when he headed in a Ryan Giggs cross.

But Ronaldo missed a penalty and that inspired West Ham into a late rally, which saw Anton Ferdinand and Matthew Upson each head in for the win.

The loss was only United's third of the top-flight campaign and was watched from the stands by manager Sir Alex Ferguson as he served a one-match touchline ban.

He was unable to call on striker Wayne Rooney, who along with midfielder Michael Carrick, were suffering from viruses.

West Ham's fans had booed their side at the end of the last home game when the Hammers drew 1-1 with Reading but they vociferously supported their team at the start and their efforts almost reaped immediate dividends.

Lucas Neill sent a dipping shot just wide before the Hammers worked a glorious opening.

Mullins was slipped in on goal by Carlton Cole's clever touch but he angled a shot on to the crossbar as he tried beating on-rushing keeper Tomasz Kuszczak.

The ball rebounded to Noble and he looked certain to slot into a gaping net only to sidefoot high.

United quickly punished the home side with ex-Hammer Carlos Tevez, who was applauded at the start, beginning the attack on the halfway line as he held on to possession to drag right-back Neill out of position before finding Louis Saha.

Saha released Giggs into the space created by Tevez down United's left flank and the Welshman crossed for Ronaldo to nod in at the near post.

The goal briefly winded West Ham before they recovered as the game turned into a captivating contest with the home side pushing for a leveller and a United a threat on the counter-attack.

Nolberto Solano had a curling 25-yard strike tipped over the bar by Kuszczak, while Giggs would have been clean through at the other end had his normally assured touch not let him down.

Hammers striker Cole had started ahead of Dean Ashton and he was found in space by Noble's cross but headed over.

Ronaldo dragged a shot wide of near post just before the end of a half which the Hammers ended the stronger.

But West Ham's main problem was their lack of ruthlessness in the final third with United's meagre defence also standing firm like so many times this season.

Solano and Scott Parker were forced off injured for West Ham shortly after the break as United took the sting out of their play.

And the game should have been put out of the home side's reach after 66 minutes when the ball struck makeshift centre-back Spector's arm after he mistimed a dive to meet a cross.

Ronaldo stepped up to take the spot-kick only to power his strike wide.

The miss breathed new life into West Ham and their crowd and they produced a rousing finale as Anton Ferdinand equalised from a Noble corner as United defence finally broke.

Upson then rose highest to head a winner from a Noble free-kick into the top corner and the Hammers held on for only a third home win of the season.

Alan Hutton To Join Man. United?

Alan Hutton

Sir Alex Ferguson could be going home to Glasgow for his next signing if the UK's tabloid newspapers are to be believed.

The Sun claims a right-back is United's priority and names Rangers and Scotland defender Alan Hutton as a potential £6m target.

The same newspaper also suggests two players could be leaving Old Trafford when the window opens: "Chinese striker Dong Fangzhuo has not impressed while Wes Brown has refused a new deal."

Other players being linked with United include Reading left-back Nicky Shorey, Lokomotiv Moscow defender Branislav Ivanovic and Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov - would Sir Alex really part with Brown, Louis Saha and £6m to buy the Bulgarian?

Black Cats Mauled By Red Devils

United barely broke sweat at the Stadium of Light as goals from Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and a Louis Saha brace sealed a fifth away win of the season.

For a Boxing Day encounter, Sunderland showed surprisingly little fight and Roy Keane wouldn't have taken many positives out of such a one-sided affair.

The Reds were 3-0 up by half-time and coasted through the second period, adding a fourth in the closing stages when Louis Saha slotted home from the penalty spot.

Sir Alex made five changes to the side that beat Everton on the weekend, with Darren Fletcher handed his first league start of the season and Louis Saha starting up front alongside Wayne Rooney.

Perhaps the manager's most notable selection was the inclusion of Ji-sung Park on the bench. Park, who came on in the 57th minute, hadn't played for the Reds since injuring his knee against Blackburn Rovers in March.

At the back, Sir Alex recalled Rio Ferdinand to the starting XI but rested Patrice Evra on the left. John O'Shea came in for the Frenchman, with Wes Brown operating on the other side of the defence.

Neither side's back four was troubled in the game's opening stages until Danny Higginbotham caught Cristiano Ronaldo late 25 yards from goal in a central position. The Reds' no.7 lined up the free-kick and stung Craig Gordon's palms with a vicious strike that dipped and swerved in the air. The Scottish goalkeeper was called into action again moments later when Nani's left-foot shot looked to be sneaking inside the near post.

Sunderland then fashioned their own half chances through Kenwyne Jones and Dixon Etuhu before Louis Saha fluffed an opportunity to put United into the lead. The Frenchman did well to peel off his marker but miscued a volley after John O'Shea, Nani and Cristiano Ronaldo had linked well on the left flank.

After a frustratingly scrappy opening period, the match had begun to open up and the Reds took the lead on 20 minutes when Rooney exploited some lax Sunderland defending to beat the offside trap and roll the ball past Gordon.

From Wes Brown's pass to Rooney's ice-cool finish, it all looked so simple and would no doubt have frustrated Sunderland boss Roy Keane. Of course, Keane's concerns were the last of Rooney's worries as the United ace banged in his first league goal since October.

The Sunderland boss was made to suffer further on the half-hour when the Reds turned defence into attack in the blink of an eye. Darren Fletcher was booked for hauling down Michael Chopra near the United goal but the home side failed to make the Reds pay with the resulting free-kick.

Moments later, Cristiano Ronaldo fed Wayne Rooney down the inside left channel. The England international outpaced his marker, reached the corner of the 18-yard box and picked out Louis Saha in the middle with a curling cross.

From there, Saha was left with the relatively simple task of side-footing the ball past Gordon to send the Reds 2-0 up and confirm the gulf in class between the two sides.

Sunderland certainly couldn't argue with the scoreline, although Ross Wallace almost pulled a goal back five minutes before the interval when he drew a finger-tip save from Tomasz Kuszczak in the United goal. It was the first significant save the Polish stopper had needed to make and underlined the visitors' dominance.

There was still time before the break for United's third, this time from the boot of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese star had already tested Gordon with two long-range free kicks but in injury time at the end of the first half a third free-kick – this one slightly to the left of centre and 25 yards from goal – sailed over the wall and into the top corner.

It was as good a goal as Ronaldo has scored this season, the perfect blend of power and precision, and took his tally to an astonishing 17 from 20 starts.

Roy Keane withdrew Ross Wallace at the break and introduced Danny Leadbitter but the change did little to stem the Red tide. Indeed, the home side were lucky not to concede a penalty in the 48th minute when former United striker Dwight Yorke appeared to handle Ronaldo's cross inside his own penalty area.

Paul McShane then showed tremendous bravery to block a Rooney shot before Sunderland fans were left cursing Kuszczak's reflexes when the Reds goalkeeper saved well from Kenwyne Jones low to his left.

The Black Cats' fans did have something to cheer on 57 minutes when Ronaldo left the pitch, but his replacement, Ji-sung Park, proved just as menacing. Within minutes of stepping onto
the pitch the South Korea international teed up Nani for a shot that fizzed just wide of Gordon's left-hand post. Park continued to chase every ball and showed little sign of his nine-month absence from the game.

With the game won, the Reds took their foot off the pedal somewhat and contented themselves with keeping the ball. That said, Wayne Rooney should have made it 4-0 in the 76th minute when he blazed over from close range.

The Reds did score a fourth in the 87th minute, Louis Saha converting coolly from the spot after Nani had been tugged back inside the area by Danny Collins.

Redline (Hot Girls... Hotter Cars)

Watched this movie yesterday, and found it to be average. But nevertheless, it is still watchable.

As the title of my posting suggests, "hot girls... hotter cars", this is a movie whereby there are lots of beautiful girls mainly acting as decorative items and competing to see who wears the least amount of clothes. Bare bosoms, plunging necklines and micro short skirts are the norm in this show.

Girls aside, one of the main focus of this show is about the cars which people dreamed of owning them someday (me included). There is no lack of exotic cars being displayed, Ferrari Scaglietti, Ferrari F430, Enzo Ferrari, Porsche Carrera GT and Lamborghini Murcielago, just to name a few.

One interesting point to note that Daniel Sadek, who is financing the $26 million movie, actually used his own personal collection of exotic cars in this auto/action thriller. There is a scene whereby an Enzo Ferrari and a Porsche Carrera GT were blown up during a race. They claimed that real cars were being used in this explosive scene.

As for the acting department, please don't have any high expectations as you will be left solely disappointed. This is a movie where you do not need any brain processing power. Just sit back and enjoy the adrenaline rush that this movie is offering. Dialouge used during the show borders on the corny, sometimes sexually suggestive side. I do not like the accent being spoken by Eddie Griffin as it is very irritating.

Lastly, this is a movie to bond with your equally car crazy buddies. Just to inform you that although the festive season is about merry making, just drive carefully while on the road and please do not imitate the stunts in this movie.

If you drink and drive recklessly, you will be risking everything that you have at your own peril...... .

Synopsis:

Natasha (Nadia Bjorlin), a gorgeous car fanatic and singer of a band on the American West Coast, finds herself caught up in illegal drag-racing competitions organised for the pleasure of a bunch of bored billionaires. Also in the fray is an Iraq War veteran (Nathan Phillips) who returns home to find his brother in trouble with a counterfeiter and must settle the account by taking part in the race.

Manucho: High Hopes

Angolan striker Manucho has spoken of his delight at securing a deal that should see the 24-year-old join the Reds after January's African Cup of Nations.

The centre-forward, who has topped the Angola league's scoring charts for the past two seasons playing with Petro Atletico Luanda, told MUTV he's living in dreamland after agreeing to a move to Old Trafford.

"I have been a fan of Manchester United from when I was very young so now I will work very hard to get into the first team," Manucho said.

"I am very happy to be here and I have worked very hard to make my dream a reality. I have found the adaptation easy because all the players have given me their support… and players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani and Anderson all speak my language [Portuguese]."

Although Manucho's work permit still needs to be granted, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is confident the player has the necessary traits to make an impact in the Barclays Premier League.

"He's a very quick, aggressive forward, a big lad about 6"2'," Sir Alex told MUTV. "We've had him on trial for three weeks and he's done very well. We're delighted to have made an agreement with his football team."

Manucho isn't expected to see much first-team action this season, although Sir Alex conceded it all depends on how well he settles into life at United.

"I think he'll need a few months to adjust," he said. "In saying that, he's done very well in training and you never know how players will progress.

"I said the same thing about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer when he arrived. I thought I'd give him a year or two in the Reserves but after three or four games he was in the first team.

"It all boils down to the boy himself, how he adapts to the change and how he commits himself to learning. Every young player has to learn."

Merry Christmas!

Here is wishing all readers of my blog, Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!!!

I hereby present 3 beautiful babes all dressed up (pardon the pun) to celebrate this festive season with you.

As they always say, its a season of giving and receiving.

The Perfect Christmas Present

Cristiano Ronaldo:

"I'm very happy with Christmas coming up. I think Father Christmas gave me my present early. With the next games, there is not too much time to rest, so it was important to win to stay near the top."

Ronaldo 2 Good For Everton

Cristiano Ronaldo kept his nerve to nudge United within a point of leaders Arsenal when he stepped up to score a late winner from the penalty spot.

It was Ronaldo's sixteenth goal of the season and his second of the game, having fired the Reds in front midway through the first half when he cut inside to unleash a left-foot rocket past Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard.

The in-form visitors drew level just five minutes after Ronaldo's opener as Tim Cahill firmly headed home Steven Pienaar's left-wing cross, only for the South African to needlessly foul Ryan Giggs with two minutes remaining and give Ronaldo the chance to seal victory.

The result was deserved and hard-fought for a United side bereft of Edwin van der Sar, Rio Ferdinand and Owen Hargreaves through injury.

They were replaced by Tomasz Kuszczak, Danny Simpson and Michael Carrick respectively, with Wes Brown moving into the centre of defence and Simpson occupying the right-back berth.

Despite the enforced reshuffle, it was United who settled quicker in a fraught opening. Although the Reds were applying plenty of pressure, the main story of the opening 15 minutes was referee Howard Webb's decision to dish out four bookings.

Wayne Rooney and Patrice Evra entered Webb's notebook for clumsy fouls, while Cahill and Tony Hibbert were both cautioned within a minute for the visitors.

Carlos Tevez then saw a shot deflected wide before Ronaldo opened the scoring with a scorching effort after 22 minutes. The Portuguese winger collected a crossfield pass from Tevez, cut inside and duly thumped a 25-yard shot past the motionless Howard and into the top corner.

It was the sixth successive home game in which Ronaldo had struck for the Reds, but the visitors were level almost immediately. Pienaar was allowed time to pick a cross from the left-wing and Cahill sprung superbly between Evra and Nemanja Vidic to plant a header past Kuszczak.

The Australian's equaliser sparked United into life, and the Reds could easily have gone into the interval ahead. First Joleon Lescott had to be alert to head Rooney's clever chip off his own goal line with Howard well beaten, then Ronaldo volleyed just over after a slick interchange with Giggs.

John O'Shea replaced Simpson at half-time as the Reds continued to make the better chances. Howard, in his first appearance against United since leaving Old Trafford, had to be on his toes to save well from Anderson and Tevez.

Carrick was replaced by Saha as Sir Alex Ferguson chased a winning start to the hectic Christmas period, but Everton's defensive resolve looked set to win the visitors an unfancied point.

When Rooney's shot from the edge of the area clipped the roof of the net, it seemed a draw was inevitable. With two minutes remaining, however, a winding run from the excellent Giggs saw him foolishly upended by Pienaar inside the box.

Referee Webb had no choice but to point to the spot and, after a lengthy, nervy delay, the coollest head inside Old Trafford promptly hammered a shot home, sending Howard the wrong way and keeping United within touching distance of the top.
