European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Fergusion Considers Resting Rooney For Final by Holyguy22(op): 6:14am On Feb 27, 2010
With Rooney in the sort of
touch where he can seemingly
win matches by his own will,
Ferguson is faced with the
dilemma - albeit a welcome
one - of whether to cash in
now or manage the
marksman's workload in the
pursuit of Premier League and
Champions League honours.
England fans, of course, will
also be hoping that Rooney
doesn't get burnt out - or
even worse, injured - for the
sake of their hopes at the
World Cup finals in June.
Rooney has been in
explosive form, following up
his Champions League double
against AC Milan with two
more goals in the midweek win
over West Ham. That took his
overall goal tally for the
season to 27, just 15 short
of the amazing number
Cristiano Ronaldo contributed
to Manchester United's 2008
Champions League-winning
campaign.
With a maximum of 17 games
left, Rooney has an obvious
target to aim at. However, as
he ponders a fixture list
which includes a return
meeting with Milan at Old
Trafford on March 10 and
vital Premier League games,
Ferguson claims he is giving
serious consideration to
leaving Rooney out of the
Wembley clash with Aston
Villa.
"It has to be a consideration
simply because we have
important games coming up,''
said the United boss. "The
problem is he is desperate to
play, he is always desperate
to play. Maybe it is his chance
to play right-back because he
keeps telling everyone he is
a great defender, centre-half
or sweeper.''
With silverware on the line,
Ferguson is still predicted to
give Rooney another start in
Sunday's showpiece but his
latest comments indicate he's
becoming increasingly wary
over the reliance his side
have on their talisman, and
the subsequent workload that
creates.
Hinting at giving Rooney a
rest this time might ease the
pain of sidelining the ever-
enthusiastic 24-year-old in
the near future. Ferguson is
also taking pressure off his
main man by sticking to his
now-conservative 30-goal
target, despite the inevitable
talk of Ronaldo's 42.
"We have 10 league games
after Sunday and hopefully
six European ties. That is 17
games in total,'' said
Ferguson. "A goal a game
would bring him to 44. There's
pressure for you. It is a
target and who wouldn't love
to get that kind of goal tally. It
is hard to think he could
reach it though. I don't think
he has got that kind of target
and I certainly haven't.
"He is in a great scoring
burst right now. He is popping
up in the right places at the
right time and his judgment in
the penalty box is improving.
That is a nice sign. But I have
said all along if he gets over
30 I will be delighted so let's
not be greedy.''
Should Ferguson opt to leave
Rooney out, it would at least
offer Dimitar Berbatov a
chance to play. The Bulgarian
could hardly have imagined
that, after spending a club
record £30.75million on him at
the start of last season,
Ferguson would leave him out
of so many key games.
Benched for last season's
Champions League final,
Berbatov was also among the
substitutes against AC Milan
in the San Siro. His response
has been admirable though,
scoring at Everton last
weekend before producing an
outstanding performance in a
creative capacity against
West Ham in midweek.
"Dimitar is consistent,'' said
Ferguson. "On Saturday he
looked like the only one who
could score and has
performed well in recent
games. We do have a
preference to play one
striker sometimes, but that
does not reflect on him in any
way, or Michael Owen for that
matter. It is just the choice we
make.''
As usual, Ferguson has more
contenders for his starting
line-up than places on offer.
Darren Fletcher would appear
a certainty and, on the basis
that he missed last year's win
over Tottenham through
injury, so too does Brazilian
full-back Rafael. The other
nine spots are up for grabs,
although Jonny Evans and
Darron Gibson are expected
to add an element of youth as
United look to win the
competition for a fourth time.
One of the other issues
surrounds the goalkeeping
slot, which appears to be
between Tomasz Kuszczak
and Edwin van der Sar who,
as he hinted last week, has
opted to remain at Old
Trafford for another season.
The new deal will take Van
der Sar beyond his 40th
birthday and also allows him
to thank Ferguson for the
compassion shown after his
wife Annemarie suffered a
stroke in Holland just before
Christmas.
"I still feel good and am
enjoying my football,'' he said.
"This is a great club and I
was shown a great deal of
compassion and support
during a difficult time in
December and January, for
which I am extremely
grateful.''

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Everton V Man Utd [3 - 1] On Saturday 20th February by Holyguy22(m): 9:41pm On Feb 20, 2010
Chelsea took advantage of
Manchester United's slip-up
at Everton when they won
2-0 at Wolverhampton
Wanderers on Saturday to
go four points clear of the
champions at the top of the
Premier League.
Didier Drogba took his tally
to 25 in all competitions with
both goals as Chelsea,
without influential midfielder
Frank Lampard, climbed to 61
points from 27 matches
ahead of United, who lost
3-1 at Everton in a lunchtime
kickoff.
Dimitar Berbatov put United
ahead after 16 minutes at
Goodison Park, but Everton
won with goals from Diniyar
Bilyaletdinov (18 minutes)
and substitutes Dan Gosling
(76th) and Jack Rodwell
(90th).
Third-placed Arsenal closed
the gap on United to two
points with a 2-0 home win
over Sunderland. Nicklas
Bendtner scored after 27
minutes and Cesc Fabregas
added a stoppage-time
penalty as the visitors' run
without a win stretched to 13
matches.
Manchester City are fourth
with 45 points, one ahead of
Liverpool, who they face at
Eastlands on Sunday (3 p.m.
British time).
At the other end of the table,
West Ham United beat Hull
City 3-0 at Upton Park to pull
away from the relegation
zone and leave their
opponents just one point
above it.
Portsmouth stayed nailed
firmly to the bottom when
they lost 2-1 at home to
Stoke City after conceding a
stoppage time goal to
substitute Salif Diao -- his
first league strike for seven
years.
Stoke were reduced to 10
men in the 73rd minute when
Andy Wilkinson was sent off
but took all three points
after Robert Huth cancelled
out Frederic Piquionne's
opener for the debt-ravaged
hosts.
RARE DEFEAT
Manchester United had the
chance to go top, at least
until Chelsea played Wolves
later, if they had won but
instead they suffered only
their second defeat to
Everton in 30 Premier
League matches despite
taking the lead through
Berbatov.
The home side equalised
almost immediately when
Bilyaletdinov scored with a
superb left-foot shot and
clinched the points in the last
14 minutes with goals from
substitutes Gosling and
Rodwell.
Everton's win followed their
victory over Chelsea in their
last home match and manager
David Moyes said: "It was a
brilliant performance from the
players and we are starting
to get back to what we've
been like for the last year or
two."
Everton, who have moved
up to eight place, have now
lost only one of their last 12
league matches.
United manager Alex
Ferguson said the defeat
was a blow at this stage of
the title race, a huge
disappointment following their
3-2 win at AC Milan in the
Champions League on
Tuesday.
"We were well beaten. We
were outplayed in the second
half. We are going for the
championship and you don't
expect Manchester United to
look tired like that," he said.
"It was a bad result for us at
this time of year. You can't
afford results like we've had
today."
Chelsea capitalised on
United's loss by winning at
Wolves, who stay 16th, only
one point above the
relegation zone.
Wolves played some neat
football in the early stages,
but fell behind to a superbly
crafted goal which Drogba
scored after a swift one-two
between Michael Ballack and
Yuri Zhirkov.
Drogba's second followed a
huge clearance from
goalkeeper Petr Cech and
the win delighted coach Carlo
Ancelotti.
"I'm very happy, we won an
important game, but we must
stay quiet and calm because
there are a lot of important
matches coming up. I think we
deserved to win," he told
Sky Sports.

house up here," God said.
Mr Wenger looks at the
house, then turns around
and looks at the one sitting
on the top of the hill. It's a
huge two-story mansion with
white marble columns and
little patios under all of the
windows. Manchester United
flags line both sides of the
sidewalk with a huge purple
and gold Manchester United
banner hanging between the
marble columns.
"Thanks for the home, God,
but let me ask you a
question. I get this little 1
bedroom house with a faded
Arsenal banner, and Alex
Ferguson gets a mansion
with new Manchester United
banners and flags flying all
over the place. Why is that?"
God looks at him seriously
for a moment and then
replies, "That's not
Ferguson ’s house, that's
mine!!"
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Pep Guardiola Weighing Up Six Job Offers by Holyguy22(op): 2:22pm On Jan 18, 2010
Pep Guardiola has received
offers from six leading
European clubs, according to
Josep Maria Orobitg, the
Barcelona coach's agent.
Guardiola's current contract
ends in June and he is
reluctant to commit himself
until after the Catalan club's
elections this summer.
Manchester United are said
to be interested in Guardiola
as a possible successor to
Sir Alex Ferguson while one
source said City are
prepared to offer him £7
million a year as their
'super-manager.'
Lawyer Orobitg confirmed:
'We have received six
offers from clubs interested
in Guardiola but absolute
discretion prevents me from
giving details.'
Juventus and Inter Milan are
likely to be among those
chasing Guardiola who is
known to be a lover of Italy.
But Guardiola speaks
excellent English and is also
a huge admirer of the
commitment and atmosphere
in the Barclays Premier
League, and likes the amount
of control that managers are
given.
Under Guardiola Barcelona
won all six trophies available
to them last year, including
the Champions League when
they beat United in the final.
They are on the verge of
offering him a new two-year
deal with the option of a
third.
His salary would be greatly
increased from his current
level of £1m a year and he
may even be offered a
clause allowing him to walk
away in the summer if he is
not happy with the winner of
the presidential election.
SportsNervous Wait Over Essien Tests by Holyguy22(op): 8:52am On Jan 18, 2010
Chelsea star Michael
Essien
is waiting to hear the
results
of tests after he limped
out
of Ghana's training
session
at the African Cup of
Nations
on Sunday with a knee
injury.
The midfielder was
taken to
hospital in Angola by
ambulance and
underwent
tests to gauge the
nature
and severity of the
problem.
The former Lyon man
had
played only 45 minutes
against the Ivory Coast
due
to a hamstring problem
he
carried into the
tournament,
but damage to the knee
he
injured in 2008 could
be far
more serious.
On that occasion Essien
was
out for six months with
a
ruptured ligament, but
club
and country will be
desperate to have the
dynamic Ghanaian back
as
soon as possible.
The Black Stars face a
make-or-break clash
with
Burkina Faso on
Tuesday,
needing a win to stay in
the
competition after their
3-1
defeat at the hands of
Didier
Drogba's Ivory Coast
side.
Chelsea did not appear
to
miss their African
contingent
during a 7-2 thrashing
of
Sunderland, but have
struggled in Essien's
absence in the past.
"I don't know the extent
of
the injury but we will
find out
later," Ghana coach
Milovan
Rajevac told BBC Sport.
Nairaland GeneralEducation Will Yield More Revenue Than Oil by Holyguy22(op): 8:31am On Jan 17, 2010
National President, of
Academic Staff Union of
Universities, (ASUU), Prof.
Ukachukwu Awuzie, has said
improving the education
sector will yield more money
than crude oil.
Awuzie told the News Agency
of Nigeria (NAN) in Asaba
that improving the
educational system would
encourage other African
countries to send their
children to Nigeria for
studies.
He said: “As it is now, our
sister countries, send their
wards to Europe for
schooling, because they
believe that their children will
get quality education there.
“ But if we can improve our
educational system here,
these people will now be
sending their children to our
country, and this means
more revenue will be
generated. ”
Awuzie said Nigeria was
blessed with quality
academics who, when allowed
to operate in an enabling
environment, would fast-
track national development.
“If the government provides
the necessary environment
for teaching, then
professional ethics will be
kept, ” he said and he
harped on the need for the
country to have good public
schools to ensure that every
Nigerian benefites from
sound education.
Awuzie said it was not in the
interest of the country for
policy makers not to
appropriate substantial
funds to the education
sector.
“ The reason for this is not
far fetched; they use the
privilege of their position to
appropriate these funds to
themselves.
“ They corner the resources
of this nation and use them
to send their children abroad
for education so as to create
a class between graduates
of Nigerian universities and
their children.
“Meanwhile, the policies they
make can be used to improve
the quality of education and
enhance access to education
by the majority of the
Nigerian children, ” the he
said and called on Nigerian
students to unite in the
struggle to reposition
education in the country, as
the future would be bleak if
they did not.
He said the repositioning
should start with educational
empowerment, enlightenment
and skills adding that the
last strike embarked upon by
the union had only been
suspended, but not called
off, because the agreement
reached with the Federal
Government and its impact
would be reassessed in
2012.
Nairaland GeneralCivic War Looms by Holyguy22(op): 7:13am On Jan 17, 2010
Former Oyo State
governor, Lam Adesina, has
warned northern elements
determined to frustrate Vice
President Goodluck
Jonathan from assuming
office as Acting President
that they could plunge the
country into another civil
war.
In an exclusive interview
with Sunday Sun, he
reasoned that the way
some people are carrying
on “the people of the Niger
Delta would soon ask
whether they are only good
at producing oil but not
competent to rule Nigeria.”
Adesina, a chieftain of the
Action Congress (AC),
lamented: “In other civilized
countries, whenever the
President or a governor is
away, his deputy steps in
automatically. I did it when I
was in office. To make
matters worse they are
keeping us in the dark over
the man’s health issue.
“In place of the president,
they said the Vice President
couldn’t act. Is there no law
in Nigeria? Is there no
constitution in place? How
can some people hold us to
ransom in this country? Let
them not forget the past;
we don’t want to go into
another civil war. That is
where they are pushing us
to if the people of Niger
Delta decide to react.
He blamed the leadership of
the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) for the raging
controversy that has
trailed President Umaru
Yar’Adua’s absence from
the country 55 days after
he travelled to Saudi Arabia
for medical treatment.
Said Adesina: “The PDP
wants to push Nigeria into
another civil war. Let them
tell us the full details of
what is happening to him.
The PDP must be careful. In
a banana republic, such
things will not even happen.
The people will rise and ask
that a new person be sworn
in.
“That is why I say that the
PDP must be very careful.
They are pushing us too
hard and they will soon
push the people to the wall.
“In the absence of
Yar’Adua, Jonathan should
be allowed. I was in office
before and when I went on
leave I delegated power to
my deputy. It is in the
Constitution. So why are we
toying with the
Constitution?”
