Breast Cancer Fundraiser

A very good friend of mine who lives in Australia has suffered in recent years with breast cancer. Sharon Holt has entered the 2009 Mother's Day Classic on Sunday 10th May to raise funds for breast cancer research.
By participating in the Mother's Day Classic, it allows Sharon to make a difference in the lives of those women who may be diagnosed with breast cancer both now and in the future, as all profits raised are donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, who fund research into the prevention, detection and treatment of the disease. Sharon is asking friends and relatives to consider sponsoring her participation in the 4km run by following the link to her online fundraising page and donating.

Hard To Know

It is hard to know what to think about today's game. We did in my opinion put out a weakened team. Everton had arguably their strongest line up (without Arteta) and we still had chances. The game was even enough over the 120 minutes but some of our play was very frustrating. We are continually wasting our opportunities from set pieces, especially corners and I think this will cost us in games coming up. Our defence was good yesterday and this was one plus point. Anderson, Gibson, Wellback and Park did not do enough. Their distribution could have been better and Tevez was wasteful too although he did work as hard as usual. Macheda will get much much better I think but the lad is still feeling his way and the service yesterday could have been better. As we all know the penalty lottery is fickle and we have tasted both outcomes now in recent tournaments. I just somehow knew yesterday it was going to go wrong for United. Good luck to Everton in the final but they will have to play a lot better than they did today to trouble Chelsea. United 0-0 Everton (2-4 Penalties).

Good Solid Win In Portugal

Well done to the lads last night against FC Porto in the CL. After a magnificent goal (best strike of the season so far) by Ronnie there was a nervous 87 minutes to watch but all in all United limited their opponents to few clear cut chances. All round good team performance with Wazza exceptional on the right wing. FC Porto 0-1 United (2-3 Agg).
