The sad day has finally come. The day every Manchester United fan has been afraid of. Sir Alex Ferguson has retired, and today is his final home game in front of the Manchester United faithful. Simply stating that sentence still gives me a sensation of surrealism. He was always the man to state that “no player is bigger than the club”, Manchester United will always live on, but for people like me, I havent known a Manchester United without Sir Alex Ferguson. Hell, if we go back to the day I was born, Sir Alex was probably still manager at that time. To people like me, Sir Alex IS Manchester United. But he stays true to what he always believed in, Sir Alex is now leaving, but Manchester United is here to stay on. Personally, the qualities that Im going to miss in this man arent his tactical choices, or sly purchases, but his ability to enhance players. Make them believe they were better than they were. Pushing them, maximising their potential. People could easily point at players like...
Great Article from Wayne Veysey at Goal.com: What kind of manager can Manchester United expect when David Moyes is anointed to the Old Trafford throne? Caricature paints him as pragmatic, work-aholic, enthusiastic, loyal and demanding, a worker of miracles season after season at Everton. In his own words, Moyes was overlooked for the post of Ferguson’s No.2 in 1998 because the Govan godfather regarded the then Preston manager as “a little too intense”. The 50-year-old has come a long way from the ambitious ladder climber who began taking coaching courses at the age of 22 to the cherry-picked successor of the most successful manager in British football.Behind the gimlet blue eyes and proud Glaswegian jaw lies one of those most fertile minds in football. An early disciple of long ball specialist and unorthodox man-manager John Beck, Moyes is also a fervent advocate of the scientific approach to management. At Everton, he urges his fitness staff to go on courses across Europe to absorb the latest knowledge and information on player preparation and recovery. Football data is key to his...

Many people forget that there are plenty of superstars out there who are muslim.
This came as a request from their one and only Bilal Franck Ribery. The mosque will have its own dedicated imam, an islamic library and islamic session.
I think though this incident may have played a part:
Apparently, as stated by 101greatgoals.com, “Ribery said, after finally being caught, “I won’t talk to Boateng again, he knows that I’m Muslim. I’m p***** off.”
Building a mosque as a way of an apology seems quite fair in my opinion.
So, if anyone’s been following my Instagram recently, you would have noticed a couple of pics of KooKoo, our pet parrot.
He/She aint young, apparently its 15 – 18 years old, i dont have its birth certificate but dad says its around that age.
We’ve bonded quite well, but recently Ive noticed a little bit of change in behaviour.
Previously, he (im gonna refer to it as he from now on, cuz KooKoo is a boss) used to get on my arm, up to my shoulders and just chill.
If id place him on another platform, he’d gently move on. Easy peezy.
However, recently, he seems to get over-excited when hes on my arm. I mean, he wags his tail, but grips my arm with his talons quite firmly, and that boy has talons longer than Paris Hiltons, so he dug them in quite deep.
Then he’d shake it like a salt shaker, left then right multiple times. And he continues doing this, paying no attention to anything else for a good few minutes, until he suddenly freezes, and literally drops off my arm.
Its quite a sight, and quite painful.
Does anyone know what the hell this sort of behaviour means?
Is he trying to mate my arm? Last I checked, Im a hairy dude, so its not like my arm is his version of Megan Fox.
Or is it?
What my arm looks like to my parrot.
In any case, I dont know if I feel flattered or violated.
I mean, we’re friends buddy.
You’re strictly in the friend zone.
Aint going further than that.
Heres a video of what he does when hes on my arm (I managed to push him onto his tree).
