True Fitness Session V This Season

Wanted to go for Spin class today to train for OCBC Cycling this Sunday. The class was full so ended up cycling on the stationary bike.

Half an hour later I managed to clock 15km. This means I will complete this Sunday's 42km in approximately 1.5hrs?

Excited!

RVP Wonderstrike

Still can't get enough of his goal on Monday.

Watch it here.

Absolutely amazing. This is definitely goal of the season for me and is up there with THAT Wayne Rooney wonderstrike in 2010.

In other news, Dortmund thrashes Real Madrid 4-1! Wow!

Looks like its gonna be an all-German final!

Bayern Munich 4 Barcelona 0

Sometimes it is true that you need to experience a terrible loss before you can find the necessary strength to go to the next level.

Last season, Bayern came in 2nd in their league, FA Cup equivalent, AND the UCL. The UCL Finals loss to Chelsea was especially painful I'm sure, given that they were playing in their our home ground, AND were the dominant force who were expected to wipe Chelsea out.

And look what they've achieved this season. Having won the league with 6 games to spare, in the finals of the DFB Pokal (FA Cup equivalent), and now a 4-0 first leg lead in the semi-finals of the UCL.

Lesser teams could disappear into oblivion. But just like Manchester United, they have that "We will never die" spirit.

In 1999 we won the treble. Having scored 2 goals in the extra time to win the UCL over Bayern, that could have crushed them to bits too. But instead they came back strong to win the UCL 2 years later.

This type of winning mentality is why I love such teams and why I love Manchester United.

GGMU!!!

In Your Face Haters!

65 years back when 8 United players died in the Munich crash people said that our dreams have been shattered and that we’ll never rise again.

19 years back some Scousers dismissed our 8th premier league title,they told us to come back when we have 18.

9 years back when Arsenal went undefeated, They said United would never be the same again.

7 years back when Chelsea had won back to back titles, They said 19 was just a magic number.

4 years back when Ronaldo left,they said it’d be the beginning of the end.

1 year back when Manchester City won the title on the last day on goal difference, they said Manchester will never be red again

But here we stand with now a record “20 -T W E N T Y” titles, better than anyone else

IN YOUR FACE HATERS!!!

WE’RE NOT ARROGANT>>>>WE’RE JUST BETTER

GGMU!!!

#20

It's been a long wait.

Really.

An 11-month delay.

Just when we thought we had it last year, it was taken away when we crumbled last season. It was so bad, I didn't even bother a post season post to pencil in my horrible thoughts.

But this season, we really made it ours.

With 4 games to spare somemore. A full 16pt lead. Now our only aim is to better the EPL record of 95pts set by Chelsea in 04/05.

Last night's 3-0 win against Aston Villa was not only a great result, it was a great way to win our 20th EPL title too! RVP scored a hat-trick to top the top scorers charts.

What more can a fan ask for?

Glory Glory Man United.

Totally elated.

GGMU!!!

Suarez The Rat

This is simply hilarious!

Last night during Liverpool and Chelsea's game, Suarez bit Ivanovic in the 73rd minute.

The guy just cant keep away from controversy. In the game alone, he gave away a penalty, bit an opponent, and then scored a 97th min equalizer.

Om nom nom!

Tottenham Hotspurs 3 Manchester City 1

Why does this game matter? Because we're 13pts ahead with 5 games to play!!! Whoot!

Spurs looked like they were gonna lose after a very early Samir Nasri goal. Somehow a 5 or 6 minute spell around the 77th minute suddenly changed the whole outcome.

First Clint Dempsey scored, then Defoe and then Bale, all in quick succession. Quite amazing if you consider how tight the Man City defence had been leading up to this game.

I was so sure City would win that I bet $150 on a simple win. But it's money I'm happy to lose now that we are one win away from our 20th title.

Let's beat Aston Villa tomorrow!

GGMU!!!
