A Game Not To Be Missed
Roma and Manchester United, two teams that are currently in form are about to meet for the first time ever in the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League.
Both are attacking minded teams. Both are recently playing very well. I watched Roma’s game against Milan last Saturday, and at times their attacking movements are marvelous. So was Man United’s emphatic wins against Blackburn that highlight their very high confidence level. Both teams unfortunately also missing their key players. Pizarro is suspended for this game. Vidic broke his collar bone last week and is expected to be missing for 5 weeks, and also Gary Neville is currently nursing a foot injury.
Will not want to miss this for sure … (and I’m going to act as a neutral football fan, both teams are my favourites and I can not decide which side to lean to)

Man United is Going to Win The Premiership
After the — undeserved 
— 2-1 victory against Fulham today, United are 9 points clear of Chelsea (albeit with one more game played) with 10 more games to go. I bet they are going to go on to win this year’s Barclays Premiership.
The performance today was surely not their best. A disjointed performance. The defenders were uncharacteristically wobbly (as far as I remember, I have never seen Sir Alex tactically reshuffles the defense by substituting 2 defenders during one match), the midfield was overrun by Fulham’s (Scholes played more in defensive midfielder position 
it was fortunate that he was only given one yellow card), Rooney was running around as always but he was not as sharp as usual, and so Larsson was non-existent.
So, what makes me convinced that they are going to go on to win the Premiership? It’s the team spirit and togetherness. This is most apparent when Ronaldo scored the winning goal in the 88th minutes. He ran to the bench, and all the team members were mobbing him in joy. What a wonderful thing to watch 
. This is what happened after Ronaldo scored (courtesy of BBC).
Let’s go back here on May 13th when the season end (or perhaps sooner? 
) to see if I am right.
Update: I forgot to mention the view of Sir Alex Ferguson jumping around in jubilation like a child 
. Reminding me of what happened 4 years (?) ago when Giggs scored against Arsenal in (the old) Highbury to tie up the score 2-2 that more or less wrap up the title race of that year. Also, I’ve got the video for the Ronaldo’s goal and the celebration. See it for yourself (Courtesy of brain26 @ fbtz.com) Note: also pay attention how Rooney leapt out in joy once the ball is in the net. Childish 
.
Update 2: Gary Lineker writes in the same wave-length as me .
