Weekend Review (15 Feb 2009)

Derby County vs Manchester United

"So what record are we going to break next? Making Old Trafford a fortress? Or stay unbeaten in a league like Arsenal?"

-Gary, 15 Feb 2009

This week sports headlines hit a new high when Chelsea sacked Scolari after just 7 months in England. There would be alot of reasons and rumors for the sacking like Stamford Bridge not a fortress anymore, players power, etc. Ultimately, you need a mentally strong man-management to handle those rich and egostic players. Sadly, Scolari was not one of them as he is a good tactican. If players power do play a part, then i foresee Mark Hughes would be the next manager to get the sack. Manchester City and Chelsea have one thing in common and that is rich owners want instant results.

Coming back to Man Utd, it hit all the right reasons. Edwin break 2 more records in keeping a clean sheet. Oddly enough, the record still stands when he did not play or was conceded by Thomasz Kuszczak or Ben Foster. Edwin have to hit one more world record held by Abel Resino.

Ok, so what record are we going to break next? Making Old Trafford a fortress? Or stay unbeaten in a league like Arsenal?

Derby County Team News: No injuries or suspensions i suppose.

Man Utd Team News: Rooney will not be rushed back to play.

Odds and Analysis: Man Utd is giving 1.25 handicap. If Fergie still remember the 1-0 defeat in the League Cup Semi-Final first leg at Pride Park, i think he would ensure it wont happen again. I wont take the risk.
