Midweek Review (19 Feb 2009)

Manchester United vs Fulham

"There are too many uncanny similiarities in the Treble Run and the current season."

- Gary, 19 Feb 2009

So Man Utd disposed Derby with ease to progress to the Quarter-final with a meeting with Fulham or Swansea.

Now we face Fulham for the game in hand.

I think i have to retracted the comments that i have make during the pre-season where Man Utd will not win the Premier League title for the 3rd time this season. They are currently on an unbeatable run, 13th win on the row since the last defeat against Arsenal. Im not counting on the only League Cup semi-final loss against Derby, it's only the Premier League that counts, no? Another fact that i discovered during the Treble run in 98/99 season, Man Utd only lost 3 games. This season, they only lost 2 games, against Arsenal and Liverpool. Well, there is a possibility of losing one more game.

There are too many uncanny similiarities in the Treble Run and the current season. Opponents for Champions League for both seasons are Inter Milan. Prehaps the next opponents, provided we did win against Inter, will be Juventus?

How about one more fact, though not related, was Man Utd won the Treble after the Asian Financial Crisis? If Man Utd really win 4 titles, wont it be the credit crunch in the USA? Anyway, just facts for reference.

Man Utd Team News: Gary Neville, Anderson are out. Wayne Rooney could be given a run-out for match fitness.

Fulham Team News: Diomansy Kamara is the only absentee.

Odds and Analysis: Man Utd is giving 1.5 ball. Take Man Utd and maybe a little side bet of Edwin van der Sar beating the world record in keeping the clean sheet.
