COMMUNITY SHIELD 2008

hi guys... the one other than soccersiao himself is BACK!!!!! :P

back for new BPL season starting this weekend... but first on tonight's season curtain-raiser... YES! the FA COMMUNITY SHIELD between defending champs Man United and Cup winners Portsmouth.

i thought all along like his previous no. 7, Cristiano Ronaldo would just have his wish and play the club of his dream, Real Madrid. his desire to moved and Real seemingly continuing courting of the 42 goal hitman i think could go through... but after whole summer of intense speculation... Ronaldo is staying.... if im a United fan (swear i won't) i will be disgusted by his loyalty after Ferguson stood much by him after the last World Cup. but understanding his desire to seek fresh play elsewhere... after winning all domestic English trophies available plus Europe top prize and top-scorer award. himself is ruled out after a ankle surgery... would he be back to his best... we shall see... i hope not!.. lolx....

along with Ronaldo, Owen Hargreaves, Louis Saha & Ji-Sung Park are among the absentees for tonight clash. Gary Neville probably captain the side since his injury in March 2007. United as i know, w/o key players.. still be one to watch out for in the coming season... though they might slower down the pace in the first couple months... Peter Crouch certain to comes in and partner his England colleague, Jermaine Defoe in attack for the Pompeys.
