Why we dont use the term "Manu"
ManU is not a term United fans refer to themselves as. The term is only used by other supporters as a complete and utter insult to our club. The "u" is meant to be "you" by the rival fans.
An early example of its usage is this chant by West Brom fans: "Duncan Edwards is manure, rotting in his grave, man you are manure- rotting in your grave". The origin of "ManU" is a song to insult the dead Duncan Edwards.
Liverpool and Leeds fans copied this with their own man you /u versions to insult all of the lads who died at munich.
"ManU ManU went on a plane ManU ManU never came back again"
and..
"ManU Never Intended Coming Home" (if you combine the first letter of each word you get the word "Munich").
I hope this makes it clearer that saying manU is an insult, particularly to the older supporters and to see United fans using it now is shameful. I hope a few might read this, understand and spread the word.
So... Please REFRAIN from using this term ever again!!!!!

How to revive football in India?
What does India mean to the world in field of sport? The answer would be cricket obviously. India is seventh biggest country and second highest populous country in the world but still we can't even produce a best XI in football . With a population exceeding 1.3 billion, not even a single Indian have played in the top leagues in the world whether its NBA, Premier League or Champions League. India did qualify for 1956 FIFA World Cup but pulled out of the championship for a lame reason that we didn't have footwear. Many of us doesn't know this!
India even won gold medal in football in the Asian games held in 50s . Those were the days India was developing to become a great football power. But eventually it didn't happen. Then in 70s, India got craze of Hockey. India won gold after gold in hockey in Olympics. Then in 1983 Indian Mens Cricket Team won the Cricket World Cup which I believe the reason that ignited cricket fever in India. Then no other sport excelled except cricket. Hockey became worse than any other sport cause being our national game no one supported it and India won nothing in recent era. Within a span of 20 years, our national game was kicked out . A league called Premier League Hockey(PHL) was started but due to some reasons the league was thrown out. Some forgeries led to suspend Indian Hockey Federation and now a new body called Hockey India is formed.
Now, coming to the world's most favorite sport- Football. India ranks 144th in FIFA rankings and 26th in Asia. Apart from 1956, we never qualified for WC finals. We were beaten by some of the small countries of Asia ( Ex: Lebanon, Singapore) and our dreams are shattered in the first round of qualifiers itself. Then we've to wait for another four years to play qualifiers. In the meantime, nothing happens. It just continues and will continue especially in India. Our neighbors Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are much below in rankings than ours. But now the situation seems to be improving. The AIFF is taking some actions to improve football. India won AFC Challenge Cup last year and have qualified for the 2011 Asian Cup for the first time since 1984, thats mainly due to our British Coach Mr.Bob Houghton. Many believe he's the right man to guide Indian football to glory.
India is having its own football league called I-league which follows the traditional football league system of other countries.But even though we have some of the oldest football clubs in the world like Mohun Bagan and East Bengal(Mohun Bagan is in FIFA's top ten clubs list :)) none of them is producing magic in football when compared with European football. Most of the stadiums remain half filled during I-league matches. But during Kolkata derbies, 50000+ fans turn out. In 2007, during Oliver kahn's farewell match, 120,000 fans turned out in the Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata. And last year when Maradona visited India one lakh fans turned out @ Salt Lake and 50000 were welcoming him at the airport. Those were great scenes for a football lover. So this proves football have a reasonable amount of support in our country. If not, why should TV channels like ESPN STAR buys the Premier League rights and WC rights for a whopping amount . And why we can see many youngies wearing the likes of Rooney, Beckham, Ronaldo or Kaka in the streets.
India is having a rich fan base for football now. Especially for Premier League(EPL) and other top European leagues. All top European clubs have fans clubs in our country with Manchester United being the favorite club of India. You can question us, " Why you're supporting an European club being an Indian?". But the reason is passion and true fan-ship. Whenever you see your favorite team scoring a goal or winning a championship, you're just filled with pure joy. If they lose, it'd definitely hurt you. But I feel winning doesn't matter in football. What matters is a stunning volley that hits the top corner of the crossbar and then it comes back!! Being a die-hard Man Utd fan, I can't find any reason how I fell in love with United. May be Fergie, Old Trafford, the history, Munich disaster or the legends. But what matters is enjoying hundreds of wins, thousands of goals and some trophies.
It hurts for a football fan that while the whole world is playing football and India lives in a separate part of the world. A nation's power is calculated not only in terms of Technology and Bureaucracy, but also in terms of sports. All top powers of the world( USA, Russia, Germany, Australia etc) have respectable teams in Football.
Many football fans in India would've dreamt of India playing in WC finals. But that doesn't gonna happen in near future. It is a pity that the most who watch don't go on to take football as a profession. Football ain't developed as a profession in India. Actions should be taken at the grassroots to renovate football. Two main things are required: Investment and Publicity. Big names should come forward to find young talent and give them proper training. Everything should be done at the level zero. May be in the next 30 years everything could change.
But one thing is sure, We all love Football, and we are TRUE FANS in every manner of the word!

Here comes Valencia
Manchester United have made their first signing of the summer after confirming a16m(approx) deal with Luis Antonio Valencia!! The 23 year old have signed a four year contract.
And, while it is not expected Valencia will represent the end of Ferguson's spending, the United boss is already tipping the South American to make a big impact.
"Antonio is a player we have admired for some time now, having spent the last two years in the Premier League with Wigan," he said.
"I am sure his pace and ability will make a significant contribution to the team."
Valencia's arrival ensures that Rooney will not be given central role.
"Joining Manchester United is a dream come true for me," he said. "I have enjoyed my time at Wigan but I am thrilled to have the chance to challenge for the biggest honours in club football here. "Playing in front of 76,000 fans alongside players like Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs will be an amazing experience. "I can't wait to get started." The Ecuadorian will get his first opportunity on a four-match tour of Asia next month, before the Red Devils head for a four-team tournament in Munich.
"I hope the fans at Wigan can understand that I am an ambitious guy and a chance like this might never come again for me," said Valencia, who will be 24 next month.
"I am happy that the club has benefited from the move financially because I owe them such a lot. I have had a great time here."

RIP Michael Jackson(1958-2009)
Michael Jackson, defined in equal parts as the world’s greatest entertainer and perhaps its most enigmatic figure, was about to attempt one of the greatest comebacks of all time. Then his life was cut shockingly — and so far, mysteriously — short.
The 50-year-old musical superstar died Thursday, just as he was preparing for what would be a series of 50 concerts starting July 13 at London’s famed 02 arena.
His 1982 album “Thriller” — which included the blockbuster hits “Beat It,” “Billie Jean” and “Thriller” — is the best-selling album of all time, with an estimated 50 million copies sold worldwide.
MJ's Discography:
- Got to Be There (1972)
- Ben (1972)
- Music and Me (1973)
- Forever, Michael (1975)
- Off the Wall (1979)
- Thriller (1982)
- Bad (1987)
- Dangerous (1991)
- HIStory (1995)
- Invincible (2001)
RIP MJ :(

GOAL III - Don't see it
Goal III - Taking on the world, a sequel of Goal II and Goal! describes the pain of an English player after his team mate dies and England loses to Portugal in 2006 WC Quarter final.
The story goes like this: Three Real Madrid stars Santiago Munez, Charlie Braithwite and Leo Adams goes to Hollywood for an Ad Shoot. Charlie falls in love with an actress. They got selected for WC for their respective nations ( Santi - Mexico, Charlie and Adams - England). They met with an accident and Santi gets injuries and he's out of WC. Other two survives and plays WC. Meanwhile Adams moves to Newcastle and Santi to Spurs. Charlie dies during WC (side effects of the accident injury). England plays Portugal in Quarters. Rooney sent off for pushing CR and arguing with referee Eventually that match goes to Penalties. Lampard, Gerrard and Adams misses penalties and CR's successful penalty wins it for Portugal. England out of WC. Full of tears. Then finally Adams marries and back to clubs.
Kuno Becker (Santi) , jus played a guest role and this movie is not a continuation of 1 and 2. Final 30 mins are very emotional and as usual music rocks.
If you're a Goal fan, I recommend you not to watch this one.
My rating-2.5/5

See Ya CR7 :(
It is confirmed! World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo has joined Real Madrid for £80 million !!!
Ronaldo will join Real Madrid after United accepted a world record £80m ($163m) offer for their best player, and will earn £107 million ($A215 million) over six years according to newspaper reports in England. The deal involves a salary increasing each season, reportedly starting at a mere £183,000 a week before eventually rising to £556,000 a week.
That will mean Ronaldo will earn 33 times the average salary of the average Spaniard..
Wow.. Thats huge money.. Isn't it??
Even in this recession time I couldn't believe Real Madrid's spending spree!!
Madrid had already grabbed the headlines by signing fellow former World Player of the Year Kaka from AC Milan, for a $A114.5 million transfer fee.
So itz tym 4 United supporters to send off CR7 from Manchester..
Bye Bye Ron..

A University without any vision
I've been wonderin 4 so many years abt d bad state of Indian Educational System.. Its really gettin worse nowadays. I'm studyin under the Anna University Coimbatore which was jus formed 2 years ago.. There were controversies about the formation of this univ and still goin on.. There has been complaints about the state of education in this univ as there ain't any well groomed classrooms and facilities 4 the studs.. Yesterday someone has filed a case against Anna Univ in Chennai court..
Coming 2 the topic, AU jus follows the age old educational methodologies of the other universities..except they introduced 50 marks for internals and 50 for externals.. and they came with another idiotic idea called MOTIVATED STUDY/INNOVATIVE WORK which jus makes a stud to go off from his studyin work to writing work for more than two weeks (which may take more for slow writers!!).. they'll jus ask us to complete six 72 paged notebooks within 2 weeks and we studs will usually start writin b4 two days from the submission date and we're forced to take leave (for atleast a week!!!) to complete these works!!! Really f**kin!!!
Another bad thing abt AU CBE is ONLINE EVALUATION.. For the first time in India, the answer papers are corrected online.. the answers papers are scanned first and then converted to PDF ( I think) and they've completely computerised answerbook evaluation.. this system is copied from the Universities of the West and it doesn't work out in India.. Why do they copy others' ?? Why shouldn't they follow the simple pen correction???
I wrote ma sem exams on Nov/Dec 2008 and I got the results on June 1,2009.. I scored 7.43 which I think I deserve more ( 8+ wud've been gr8!!).. who shud I blame???
Myself !! For joinin dis coll !! And for studyin under A UNIVERSITY WITHOUT ANY VISION!!!
The syllabus for CS/IT is juz d same old stuff.. They not even changed the language papers... same old C,C++,Java....same old RDBMS with OracleWe can learn these things in Computer Centres.. Why shud v join an engg coll?? The studs are jus copying and pasting what's given in d text book and they get 9+ and they'll get a degree after four years and say "hey.. am an engineer now!! " Well.. its not the right thing.. AN ENGINEER SHOULD INVENT THINGS.. NOT EARN FROM WATS ACTUALLY THERE!!! India is producing lakhs and lakhs of wat they're called Engineers, but still India is far below in the World's super powers list.. Here ppl r studyin engineering only for earning miney...I feel that everything should be changed from the basics.. from the bottom..
Think about class five students learning Java..
Think second year guyz doin Projects...
Think about learning RDBMS with MySQL..
Everythin is d hands of STUDENTS.. Atleast students we should wake up and realise wats goin on!!!
Coming 2 the topic, AU jus follows the age old educational methodologies of the other universities..except they introduced 50 marks for internals and 50 for externals.. and they came with another idiotic idea called MOTIVATED STUDY/INNOVATIVE WORK which jus makes a stud to go off from his studyin work to writing work for more than two weeks (which may take more for slow writers!!).. they'll jus ask us to complete six 72 paged notebooks within 2 weeks and we studs will usually start writin b4 two days from the submission date and we're forced to take leave (for atleast a week!!!) to complete these works!!! Really f**kin!!!
Another bad thing abt AU CBE is ONLINE EVALUATION.. For the first time in India, the answer papers are corrected online.. the answers papers are scanned first and then converted to PDF ( I think) and they've completely computerised answerbook evaluation.. this system is copied from the Universities of the West and it doesn't work out in India.. Why do they copy others' ?? Why shouldn't they follow the simple pen correction???
I wrote ma sem exams on Nov/Dec 2008 and I got the results on June 1,2009.. I scored 7.43 which I think I deserve more ( 8+ wud've been gr8!!).. who shud I blame???

Champions again !!!!
Manchester United have retained their Premier League title for a third successive season after drawing 0-0 with Arsenal at Old Trafford.
The result also means United have already secured a treble of trophies in the 2008/09 campaign, following victories in the Carling Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
And finally, the draw at Old Trafford and United retaining the Premier League once again also has the added significance in that the Red Devils have now won 18 EPL titles, equalling the record set by fierce rivals Liverpool.
Saturday 16th May 2009 is yet another memorable day in the lives of all Manchester United fans across the world.
It is one of those days I will remember for a very long time.
I will remember the players of both teams who played on that hallowed turf, the officials on the day, the attendance at the Theatre of Dreams, as well as the standing ovation for a certain Argentine hero, a player much loved by United fans everywhere. His name, Carlos Tevez.
Oh.. we're gonna miss Tevez if he leaves United!!
HATS OFF TO SAF AND RED DEVILS FOR ENTERTAINING US!!
UNITED WILL ACHIEVE QUADRUPLE IF THEY WIN UCL ON 27TH MAY!!
GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!!!

I promise I will be with you
When the times are happy or sad
U have taught me the true way
To really love someone(referring to the club as a person)
And I promise I will keep loving
Till my breaths last none
And when its time to go
my last wish shall be
god if I have to die now
let old Trafford the place be
and god all the good deeds I have done in my life
be substituted by a wish if you can
in the next life when I am born
let me be a MAN UTD fan

Buchanan's Top 10 ideas!!!
These are the top 10 ideas of Mr. John Buchanan to innovate some new ideas into cricket.. Do comment..
10. Ambidextrous 3rd Umpire: In the futuristic world, an ambidextrous umpire would be able to click the "OUT"/"NOT OUT" button either with his left hand or right hand. In case a referral happens when the 3rd umpire is using his right hand to drink lemonade, talk on the cell phone to bookies, shave his beard, or goof around with a PlayStation - he can quickly use his left hand to deliver the decision.
9. Magnetic Pitches: Players play on pitches that has magnetic properties. The ball has an embedded object in it also with magnetic properties. At the moment the ball pitches on the wicket it can do one of two things (a) stick to the wicket or (b) get repelled by the pitch (due to dynamically changing pole orientation) and simulate a random bad bounce. The unpredictability introduced to the situation will make cricket all the more exciting.
8. Blinking Floodlights: This innovative idea simulates a disco dance floor inside a cricket stadium. The rapid ON/OFF switching of floodlights would mean that the players, fielders, spectators and batsman can barely sight the ball. The increased suspense and unpredictability gives the coach more options and allows him to implement various strategies.
7. Auto Shut Helmets: Modern technology that totally covers the batsman's face and shuts out all light from outside. Consequently, the batsman's world becomes very dark. This serves two purposes. (a) The batsman can shut himself out to a period of intense concentration and when he reopens the helmet the ball will be bright and visible. (b) The bowler has 3 PowerOff play options . This is a play where the batsman has to shut his helmet totally and face 1 over for every PowerOff Play
6. Yo-Yo Balls. This technology involves a elastic band. One end is tied to the ball on the other to the bowlers hand. The bowler runs up and delivers the ball. The ball teases the batsman by appearing to come towards him but suddenly retreats back to the bowler. The bowler can optionally slip in a yo-yo delivery after bowling a few normal deliveries. This tests the skills of the batsman to reach out and hit a ball that is actually rapidly going away from him. The bowler now need not worry his line. A new skill call "recession point" will come into play where the bowler will start to make the ball recede away from the batsman at an optimum point. This optimum point will ensure that the ball slightly touches the bat before receding completely back to the bowler and it recedes at a pace that allows the ball to comeback to the bowler without pitching again.
5. Wired Abdomen Guards. This technology has two wires extending out of the batsman's abdomen guard to touch his scrotum. There are 3 controls to this abdomen guard. The Umpire has one control and can press the control when (a) batsman shows dissent and (b) has played out more than 2 maiden overs. Since 3rd umpire is ambidextrous they can zap the batsman and at the same time browse porn in their 3rd umpire's monitor. The bowler has a control pad. The bowler can either bowl one bouncer per over or press this control pad to zap the batsman's balls at the time of delivery. The batsman has the third control, which he can press to zap himself back into concentration.
4. Short-Leg Y.G.Mahendra. As a special request erstwhile comedian Y.G. Mahendra has made a secret pact with John Buchanan to help stimulate activity in the cricket field. Y.G. Mahendra serves two powerful purposes (a) stand at forward short-leg and tell jokes to the batsman. The consequent brain damage caused to the batsman will make the task of concentrating and batting a challenging task. (b) Opposition teams can use "Zen & Y.G.M." to practise intense tolerance levels. The coach can have YGM talk to a batsman for several hours. This will improve the batsman's tolerance and patience levels so much that batting all 5 days of a match will look like child's play.
3. Jack In The Pitch Batsman: The batsman does stand at the crease. But instead of above the pitch, he stands underneath the pitch. Exactly at the time the bowler is on his delivery stride, the section of the pitch near the striker opens and the batsman pops out via a hybrid spring technology. How the batsman manages to hit the ball while flying up is exactly where his skill is tested.
2. Disappearing Bowlers: The bowler wears clothes that uses light absorption technology based on properties of a black hole. The bowler disappears at the start of the run-up and then re-appears at the point of delivering the ball. The consequent surprise at the delivery point, combined with the bowler trying to zap the batsman's balls as the batsman is popping from underneath the pitch is sure to be a glorious cricketing moment.
1. Multiple Umpires at each end. In what will revolutionize cricket we will have 5 umpires at the non-strikers end, 3 leg umpires and 3 off-umpires. Each of them will give their own decision for every appeal by the bowler. Not only that - they will call their own wides, no-balls, and bouncers. In case of conflicting decisions to a bowler's appeal a dynamic algorithm will calculate the weighted average of (3 * Main Umpire + 2* Leg Umpire - 1/2 * Off-Umpire). Phase-2 of multiple umpire situation will involve multiple bowlers bowling to one batsman. At that time if N represents the number of bowlers appealing and M the number of bowlers not-appealing the decision will be calculated based on nCn-1 (N ^ 2)(3 * Main Umpire + 2* Leg Umpire - 1/2 * Off-Umpire) - d/dx (1/Sqrt(M) * 3 * Main Umpire + 2* Leg Umpire - 1/2 * Off-Umpire)).

FIFA 06 Intro Commentary
"Game after game after game, I realise now what's the most important in my life: Football, Show me something more thrilling than a perfect volley; tell me you've never dreamed of the immaculate strike and that passionate moment when the whole nation holds it breath. Tell me that football is not our common language when the world stops for ninety minutes to be witness to that one special moment.
You could tell me I'm wrong: some may say it's just a game but this is about heroes and tribes, loyalties and devotion; it's our battle and our belief, our commitment and our passion; this is our fate. Now feel the fever of the crowd, hear the roar of the faithful.. You're Ronaldinho, you're Wayne Rooney, this is your moment "

Learn football Bharath !
Here r d SMSs sent to Bharath by me 2 teach him abt footy and EPL.. am postin this here as it may be useful to others...
Premier League which was called initially as Football league & FA league was started in late 1800s.. Do u hear me??.. FA means Football Association.. It was played over a century.. many clubs dominated it.. then its name was changed to premier league in 92.. then all d broadcasters from d world fought for its telecast rights.. SKY Sports of UK was d major broadcaster..ESPN STAR brought it 2 india..then d global fan base started to increase.. india was a main part of it..then its name was changed to Barclays premier league in 2003 coz barclays s d official sponsor..ESPN STAR bought d rights to telecast it in india until 2010 for more than 100 crores..I started 2 watch it in early 2000's.. i was really impressed.. i was watchin all d matches since then with some exceptions obviously...
It'll start in August and end up in may.. 10 months of a year.. absolute entertainment..do u remember... last august i told u that premier league gonna start.. and its still goin on..wil end on may 24..most of d matches ll be played in weekends.. some matches ll b played in mid weeks.. its a league that keeps u entertained u throughout d year... 'SEASON' refers to these 10 months..20 clubs ll take part in d contest.. and d club that finishes 1st ll b crowned premiership champions.. d clubs finishin in top 4 ll get qualified for champions league..and d clubs finishin @ bottom 3 ll be relegated.. that means they'll be removed from premier league...three clubs from d lower league ll be newly promoted every season...man utd , liverpool , arsenal , chelsea r d clubs which r dominatin epl since its inception..and they're still rulin it..
its also called premiership,EPL,BPL... liverpool won it 18 times.. united won it 17 times.. this season we'll equal them.. it doesn't have final or semi-final...EPL is followed by more than 4.7 billion ppl in 211 countries.. its d no.1 sporting league in d world undoubtedly..
Note: This is composed by myself.. may contain a lot of errors.. bare it 4 me... do post ur comment...

Bharath, Me and SMS !!
It was around January in 2008, when I was doin DCE in PSGTECH, ma frnds Karthi and Chandru handed me a request to send some forward msgs to Bharath of Automobile dept of ma coll. They said he's very interested in reading ma stunning forward msgs. I used to send lot of forward SMSs to ma frnds at that time. Since I was usin Nokia 1100 (now changd to 1650) during those days, it was easy for me to send hundreds of rocking msgs to frnds thru distribution list facility of Nokia.
I msgd him that ni8 and he replied too. He said that ma msgs were gr8 and he'd like 2 receive more frm me in future. Then I started msgin him as I did to ma other frnds. He startin lovin ma msgs and we both started chattin since then. We haven't missed a single day since then in our lyf. We're chattin daily abt our daily happenings and it crossed an year. B4 our SMS relationship, I dono anythin abt him except he's a techian... But I know everythin abt him includin his personal matters!!
The best moment in our chat came @ May 08.. I 4got d date.. But I cud still remember that ni8.. I was sleepless @ that night as I was eagerly waiting for the Champions League semi-final between Manchester United and Barcelona to kick-off.. he msgd me a " Hi.." @ mid-n8.. Thot he was crazy, laughed within myself.. Then started our chat. It lasted for more than an hour only came to an end due 2 a network prob. That was a gr8 chat..
and we're still chattin... chattin... chattin...

Got three BPL jerseys!!
Since I became a fan of English Premier League in early 2000s, I dreamt of wearing the jerseys of famous clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Barca, Real......... Atlast with the help of ma frnd Baskar, I bought Manchester United's jersey for just Rs.250 in UPBEAT@RSPuram.. I got Nani's jersey only coz others are not that good..
Then a month b4, I bought two other shirts of Arsenal (Nasri) and Liverpool (Torres) wit d help of Joseph (another gunner!!!).. Out of all Torres' is the best. I've planned to buy more. . wil surely let u know!!
India becomes football crazy!
Who said India don't like football?? According to the FA (Football Association of England) more than 60 million Indians enjoyed Barclays Premier League in 07-08 season!
Most of these matches being late night games in Indian Standard Time.
The stats will surely increase this year as advertising for BPL matches are going full fledged online. Merasport and SMSGupShup play an important role. Most of the SMSs sent through them are Sports news and updates. Even my SMS groups (FOOTBALL365, EPLNews, MANUTDNEWS,Arsenal24X7) has more than 2500+ members!! I never expected this much increase in members!!
Well, am dreaming of India playing in WC finals in 2018.. Thats not impossible.
Houghton and Bhutia have to do somethin to make India a soccer power!

John Terry - A True Legend
This is John Terry's open letter to Chelsea fans following the 2008 Champions League Final loss against Manchester United !
To all the Chelsea fans, all my team-mates, the manager and staff at the club.
I am so sorry for missing the penalty and denying you the fans, my team-mates, family and friends the chance to become European champions.
Many people have told me I don't need to say that but I feel I need to, that's just me. I have relived that moment every minute since it happened. I have only slept a few hours and wake up every time hoping it's all been a bad dream.
I have had some amazing support from fans, current and ex-players, family and friends and I need to thank everyone for that. But I am a big man and I take responsibility for us not winning.
I am and ALWAYS will be Chelsea through and through. I will give my all on and off the pitch to win this trophy as a player and one day as a manager. And I am sure we will win it.
That night in Moscow will haunt me forever and I feel I have let everybody down and this hurts me more than anything. I am not ashamed about crying. This is a trophy I have tried so hard year after year to win and it was just an uncontrollable reaction, I wear my heart on my sleeve, everybody knows that.
The road to Rome starts here, we have to try and turn this experience to our advantage. I am very proud of how far we have come this season with everything that has gone on.
Thank you for all your support for the team this season.'
You're a true legend, Mr.Chelsea.

Women & Men !
TWO WOMEN TALKING:
=================
Woman 1: Oh! You got a haircut! That's so cute!
Woman 2: Do you think so? I wasn't sure when she gave me the mirror. I mean, you don't think it's too fluffy looking?
Woman 1: No, it's perfect. I'd love to get my hair cut like that, but I think my face is too wide. I'm pretty much stuck with this stuff I think.
Woman 2: Are you serious? I think your face is adorable. And you could easily get one of those layer cuts - that would look so cute I think. I was actually going to do that except that I was afraid it would accent my long neck.
Woman 1: Oh - that's funny! I would love to have your neck! Anything to take attention away from these football player shoulders of mine.
Woman 2: Are you kidding? I know girls that would love to have your shoulders. Everything drapes so well on you. I mean, look at my arms, see how short they are? If I had your shoulders I could get clothes to fit me so much easier.

Slumdog Millionaire - Review
Here s d review of one of d best movies I'd ever seen..
The movie is about the Indian version of the hit TV show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Dev Patel plays Jamal Malik, a former Mumbai street-kid who has a job making tea at a call centre. He astonishes all of India by entering the show as a contestant and triumphantly getting question after question right. Is he a fraud? A savant genius? Or is something weird going on? His amazing winning streak means he has to come back the next evening for the final big-money question and overnight he is brutally interrogated by Mumbai cops convinced he is a cheat. They take him through each of the questions he got right, and Jamal's life story unfolds in flashback as our hero reveals that each question, like each of Max Bygraves's cards, has a special significance. His tale involves crime, drama, knockabout comedy and romance. Various characters determine his fate: his gangster brother Salim (Madhur Mittal), the love of his life Latika (Freida Pinto) and Prem (Anil Kapoor), the creepy quizmaster himself, who has his own interest in Jamal's staggering success.
This movie has interesting antecedents. It is not the first to be made about Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Patrice Leconte's 2006 film My Best Friend, starring Daniel Auteuil, features a nailbiting edition of the French version of Millionaire. Leconte's film, like Boyle's, culminates with a "phone a friend" showstopper and both cheekily suggest the show is transmitted live, when, in real life, it is of course recorded and edited well in advance, at least partly to weed out the cheats.
I have some knowledge of all this, incidentally. I was once the "friend" telephoned by a contestant on the show but at the crucial moment, my mobile phone was, shamingly, out of range. Chris Tarrant's face was reportedly a picture of polite bemusement as my voicemail message echoed pointlessly around the studio, before being smartly cut off and the contestant was permitted to phone another "friend". Naturally, hiccups like that don't make it on to air.
Slumdog Millionaire is co-produced by Celador Films, owners of the rights to the original TV show, and so it functions as a feature-length product placement for the programme, whose apotheosis here came when would-be cheat Major Charles Ingram tried to scam the quiz in 2001. All he got was a suspended sentence, a fine and minor celebrity status, and the show got mouthwatering publicity. In this film, poor Jamal is, simply on suspicion of wrongdoing, beaten to a pulp by the police and horribly tortured with electrodes - the nastiest interrogation scene I've watched for a while. But afterwards he makes it into the studio as fresh as a daisy. What the Mumbai police make of their unflattering portrayal, I can't imagine.
Despite the extravagant drama and some demonstrations of the savagery meted out to India's street children, this is a cheerfully undemanding and unreflective film with a vision of India that, if not touristy exactly, is certainly an outsider's view; it depends for its full enjoyment on not being taken too seriously.
Interestingly, the co-creator of Millionaire, Steven Knight, is himself a screenwriter who has scripted far more serious films than this: Stephen Frears's Dirty Pretty Things (also co-produced by Celador) and David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises. Slumdog Millionaire really is gentle compared with, say, Robert Redford's satire Quiz Show and softcore compared with Danny Boyle's famous movies, Trainspotting and Shallow Grave. In fact, it's more of a kids' yarn, like his wacky caper Millions.
Well, for all this, it's got punch and narrative pizzazz: a strong, clear, instantly graspable storyline that doesn't encumber itself with character complexity, and the cinematography by Anthony Dod Mantle is tremendous. It's definitely got that quirky-underdog twinkle and the silverware glint of awards can't be far away..

Hat-trick of Premiership 4 United ??
Jus 3 months for the 08-09 season's climax, as the season is getting more hotter than anyone can think. United and Liverpool are fighting for the prestigious Premiership title throwing away Arsenal & Chelsea out of the race much earlier in the season.
Aston Villa are the new unthinkable contenders for the title along with United and Pool as they changed the traditional 'Big Four' style. But the Villans can't go and win the title coz they're not havin much depth in their squad. They depend on the duo of Young & Agbonlahor for their goals.
Lets come to the point.. After the euphoria of United's double last season, they're expected to win more than double this season. United are marching towards Quadruple as they're showing their potential with Rooney and Berbatov in front and
Giggs, Scholes, Fletcher and Anderson in midfield. Ronaldo and Park are showing their excellence as Wingers.
United have already in Carling Cup final which will be played on March 1st @ Wembley against Redknapp's Spurs.
United to face Inter in UCL late this month which will be a cracker of a match.
As United fans, lets hope that United wins all these matches to beat their own 1999 treble glory !!!
*Glory Glory Man United*

Ma College Review !!
( Inspired by http://hackerashwin.blogspot.com/2009/01/review-of-my-college-010.html )
As u all know , am doin 2nd yr IT in Sri Ramakrishna Institute of Tech, Coimbatore.. (SRIT)
Here r some features(not really) ma coll have ..
1.Principal: The principal (and nobody is sure he is princy) is a fat jobless a$$h0l3 who knows only one thing- 'Shouting'. He doesn't care about college, he doesn't care about students. All he cares is Money ( he collected 150 Rs b4 xamz bt no 1 knows d exact reason.. absolute robbery!!)
2. Faculty: Oh,well, ma coll doesn’t have teachers and professors.. Instead it have some employees caring only abt money. Teaching is just a 9 to 5 job for them. Who am I to blame?
3.Buses: They’re not buses.. wat I’m travellin in is jus a motor vehicle with four wheels.. Same age old buses without any audio systems.. 90 mins of travellin per day.. jus spendin d tym by chattin wit ma frend thru SMS..
4. Ground: Ha.. its d only part of ma coll tats gud..but v still play footy , cricket & hockey in d same ground.. anyway, it s gud..
5. Library: Its jus a place 4 storing old buks.. havin digital lib facilities.. but always occupied by bl**dy seniors. Most of our text books will be borrowed by staffs.. So wat v studs can do??
6.Environment: Super.. situated @ d foots of nameless hills.. fantastic surroundings.. gr8 place for an Educational Institution …
7.Hostel: I dono wat d hosteler’s think abt hostel.. but as a dayscholar, I’ve to say dat its OK !..the beauties’ hostel is located @ d backside of boys’ hostel.. hostelers shud feel lucky to enjoy d perfect weather.. really..
8. Canteen: Its d place most of d boyz will b @ break..well , its 5ne xcept water & rice..
One Word abt ma college: SUCKS!
