Weekend Review (26 Dec 2008)


Stoke City vs Manchester United


"Manchester United is the world champion. So what!"
-Gary, 26 Dec 2008

Manchester United is the world champion. So what! They have to win European Champions League every season in order to participate in the World Club Cup. Because World Club Cup winners cant defend the trophy the next season. This is one of the loopholes of the World Club Cup. The title is only for bragging rights, but im not entirely over the moon for it.

So now we are back to domestic action with festive fixtures starting with Stoke City on Boxing Day. We have 2 games in hand and if we win it, we will be challenging the title contenders like Chelsea and Liverpool. I just saw the complete fixtures for Man Utd and January 2009 fixtures is the most taxing one. FA Cup to Southampton, Carling Cup semi-final date with Derby and 3 English Premier League match to play in a week! 6 matches in 16 days. *Paging for Voxeros*

Just a short review for this match. Will like to wish everyone here a Merry Christmas.

Stoke City Team News: Salif Diao, Leon Cort, Rory Delap, Mamady Sidibe, Andy Griffin, Dave Kitson, Ryan Shawcross and Liam Lawrence are out.

Man Utd Team News: Ben Foster, Wes Brown and Owen Hargreaves are out. Patrice Evra is suspended.

Odds and Analysis: When i first saw the handicap, Man Utd was giving 2 ball. Now at the point of writing, the handicap now is 1.5. Go for the kill.

Disclaimer: This review is entirely on my own views and opinion. I didn’t point a gun at you to ask you to follow. If you want to bet on this game, do so at your own risk. Pls bet within limits. Good luck.
