A Tale of 3Goals and 2Assists

After so much fiddling, I came up with this title as I tried my possible best to make sense of ManUtd’s blisteringly arresting first opening 20-30mins, in the game against Fulham, at the Craven Cottage. 3goals, from open play, for a team that has struggled to even create chances, created by Rooney, robin Van Persie and Januzaj, scored by Valencia, Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney. To me, it was really surreal to see our main strikers creating and scoring the goals and my eyes were glued on Robin Van Persie and Rooney, ManUtd’s ‘R2’ and what next they would do.
If you’re an ardent follower or supporter of ManUtd, especially in the new eon and under the leadership and gaffer-ship of David Moyes, then, you’d likely understand why my focus is on ManUtd’s R2 after watching them against Fulham. For the very first time this season, after been termed “the best in the world” by Moyes, R2 replied and reacted in the most ruthless of manners as we saw them come out to help each other, teammates, ManUtd and ultimately, their under-pressure manager, David Moyes, by playing an unselfish brand of football and lucidly underlining that we might get to see that R2 partnership finally reaching its potential, especially if that spirit shown against Fulham is maintained.
It’d be for the interest of everyone who loves ManUtd that R2 can really maintain that altruistic spirit because they are so deleteriously endowed and if you recall how RVP scored the second goal, you’d know that if they continue with it, to always find each other no matter where, then, there’s no doubt that with so many more games to play, ManUtd would have a lot to smile and celebrate about. David Moyes, I’m sure would be the first to actually admit that seeing both of them combine like that, with the help of Januzaj, persistently, can only mean one thing, MORE WINS!!!
So, why am I seriously talking about this? Well, it’s been a challenging start to life under David Moyes, every ManUtd fan understands that, and this season, we can all admit that Rooney has been a bit selfish. That said, it was the first time this season that both Rooney and RVP, R2, thought about each-other and the team, first, before deciding on which line of action to take. Look at the first goal, rewind 4games back and Rooney would have tried to score that himself, but this time, he waited, looked up, saw Valencia and ensured he passed that ball to him, and ManUtd was 1goal up. We indeed can only hope for the best as we begin to steady the ship, ManUtd, with the help of R2 continuing in their newly found unselfish spirit whilst being supported by Kagawa, Januzaj, Valencia and Chicharito, all potential match winners and game changers on their own days.
As we move our searchlight to the UCL, in the game against Sociedad, it is my believe that we’d get to see more of the same from R2 because that can only lead us to another critically positive outcome, an away win on Tuesday and surely a qualification ticket to the next stage, albeit, permutation-ally.
Good luck R2, good luck ManUtd, even as we continue to chant the GLORY GLORY MANUTD… song

MAROUANE FELLAINI: The Unneeded Signing by ManUtd

Having listened to several schools of thought on the signing of Marouane Fellaini, by ManUtd, and the reasons behind his signing, especially given a rather infamous summer dealing(s) in the transfer market by the club, which I must point out was as a result of the absolute naivety of our new Chief Executive, ED Woodward, a marketing guru who has no modicum of knowledge as to the modus operandi in the transfer market and perhaps in collaboration with David Moyes, new manager of ManUtd, the conspiratorial analyses of his face saving capture have left me feeling that indeed there are people trying really hard to see if ManUtd can continue without SAF and we are being thoroughly tested by some “INVISIBLE HANDS” fueled by the choice of a David Moyes as SAF’s successor. For me, as an avid fan of this institution of learning, ManUtd, in trying to understand these conspiracy theories, the signing of Marouane Fellaini, opinions on it and selective journalism by the English media looking for way

SUPER EAGLES: Keshi, NFF and Some Unrequited Questions (1)

If competition breeds efficiency, then, looking at the Super Eagles under the control of Stephen Keshi, “The Big Boss”, I’d say that he has been able to prove, to an extent, these words of wisdom by implanting the spirit of competition, friendship and fair play into the national team set-up of Nigeria. A state that has seen every player being in the know that he has equal right as any other player to stake a claim, either in the starting lineup or in the team as a whole and it’s no longer based on who you know and how much power your agent can will (by getting you into the national team set up). Looking at the latest outings and displays of the Super Eagles, chiefly, if we retrospectively look at the confederations cup, it was/is clear the boss has a road map as designed and expounded by him but he is yet to fix its parts together. It is clear he has a vision and when he speaks, you’d know but (just) cannot do it alone. He wants to leave a positive stencil so that it would outlast him
