Weekend Review - 24 Oct 2010


Stoke City vs Manchester United


"10 days of roller coaster ride.."
-Gary, 24 Oct 2010

10 days of roller coaster ride, Rooney made a shock U-turn by signing a new 5 years contract. I think the person who really force his arm is none other than Alex Ferguson.

The public press conference by Fergie was a masterstroke where he let Rooney know that the grass is not indeed greener on the other side. Both Rooney and his agent tried to counter claimed by the club not able to match his ambitions by winning trophies. 7 trophies including Fifa Club World Cup since he signed for Man Utd in 2004 against a club with no trophies but lots of money earned from digging oil out of the earth. What are you all both thinking?

The game against Bursaspor was no match to distract Rooney's off-field problems. Despite a solitary goal, Man Utd is well place to advance to the knockout rounds, just one more win against Bursaspor will do.

With the Rooney's problem settled, and a visit to Stoke, is time for Man Utd to get a win to cut the gap that Chelsea is leading. Time for Man Utd players to be literally angry on the field by scoring goals and winning matches.

Stoke Team News: Ricardo Fuller, Dean Whitehead, Mamady Sidibe are out.

Man Utd Team News: Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Antonio Valencia and Owen Hargreaves are out.

Odds and Analysis: Man Utd is giving 0.75 handicap. Take Man Utd for the win and the handicap.
