What Results?

Sir Alex Ferguson’s reserve squad have been claimed to have taken drugs & steroids to enhance their football performance. The United reserve squad was called up on Saturday morning last week & were asked to take dope test with the results coming positive for some of the United reserved players. No names are to be mention The squad is now ban from the UEFA Champions League, but not the other competitions like the Premier League, F.A. Cup & the Carling Cup.

UEFA president Michel Platini has announced in front of the United fans in Manchester that they will not be competing this year in the UEFA Champions League. “It’s a shame that a team like Manchester United will not be competing this year in the UEFA Champions League due to their positive results in drug doping test.” says, Platini.

The manager Sir Alex Ferguson was called up in front of the United fans to owe them a apology. “I didn’t know my team was taking drugs to enhance their playing performance. Everyday the players would attend the practice healthy & with full energy. We won the Champions League just two years ago & for sure my squad didn’t take any drugs or help of anyone to win the trophy. I’m here to apologize on behalf of the United management. I promise we will be competing next year in the European Cup & we would be the strongest side to go all the way & win it. It’s sad that some of the Manchester United players had to take help drugs to enhance their performance, but also in a positive way, they will now have to work harder to earn the same respect & honor & a spot in the UEFA Champions League next year.” says, the 67 year-old

“The players for which the results came positive will not be competing this year in any league trophies at all. I will have a talk with the whole Manchester United management for the best solution possible, for those players. Even if UEFA allows those players to perform in the Premier League & the other league tournaments, the United management will not because this is completely unacceptable. It’s a total disgrace for Manchester United & the players. No names are to be mentioned right now, but the names will be revealed very soon.” says, Ferguson

So now we know that Manchester United will not be participating in the UEFA Champions League this year & Sir Alex Ferguson was building up his squad for another European League trophy, it must be a total disappointment for him & who knows how he must be feeling right now, but on the positive side they are still competing in the Premier League, F.A. Cup & the Carling Cup.

Sir Alex Ferguson eyes yet another Premier League title

With the latest interview on ESPN Soccernet, the 67 year old Sir Alex Ferguson has said, "With the Premier League season coming up, Manchester United look forward to retaining the English Premier League title & more."

“We’re out of the biggest & probably the most important European Club tournament, the UEFA Champions League due to player doping results. I promise Manchester & the world that next year we will be participating in the Champions League. We have previously won the Champions League three times & two times under my management. It’s a shame we had to give our spot to another team to compete in the Champions League when we completely earned it ourselves. Good luck to all the teams participating this year in the European Cup because next year we will own what is ours.” says, Sir Alex Ferguson.

“Let’s talk about what we’re still in. We’re still in the Barclay’s Premier League, F.A. Cup, English League Cup & of course we’re heading closer to the F.A. Community Shield final against Portsmouth next month. This year is certainly going to be a hard one with many teams improving their squads by adding key players that might change the outcome of the Premier League table.” says, the 67 year-old.

"It's certainly not going to be easy with Carlo Ancelotti taking on the new managing job at Chelsea and signing key players like like Yuri Zhirkov, who in my opinion is the best player in Russia & possibly more to come which could be a threat to the Premier League teams, but we don't have to worry about them because Manchester United have a strong defense led by Gary Neville. Also as Rafa Banitez & Arsene Wenger look forward to fire up their squad by signing key players the remaining of the summer. Manchester City has also bought young key talents like Emmanual Addebayor, Roque Santa Cruz, Garreth Barry & the legendary Argentine, Carlos Tevez from Manchester United to go all the way & win the Premier League for the first time ever in their history."

"It could possibly be hard for us to stay in the same form after loosing 'The World Player of the Year' Cristiano Ronaldo & 'The Great Argentine' Carlos Tevez, but we shall not forget that I have brought David Silva, Luis Fabiano & Antonio Valencia to the United squad & I look forward for the youngster Antonio Valencia, Spain & former Valencia playmaker David Siva & Luis Fabiano to keep the wings & attack warm & as Wayne Rooney & Michael Owen will control the forward."

"Many have said that Manchester United have made a big mistake selling 'The World Player Of The Year' & 'European Player of The Year' Cristiano Ronaldo, but I'm Sir Alex Ferguson & I've signed three future stars who will be performing in great form as you have seen in our recent results in our pre-season games."

“We’re still the number one club in Europe & I look forward to stay in the same position for ever.” says, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

History
The FA Premier League was formed on 20th February 1992 and played its first season in 1992–93. This meant a break-up of the 104-year-old Football League that had operated until then with four divisions. A number of events during the mid and late eighties had sent clear signals that fundamental changes were needed to the structure of professional football. The English game was at possibly its lowest ebb ever. Stadiums were crumbling, supporters were faced with poor facilities, hooliganism was rife and English football was banned from European competition. The old First Division became a selling league as many top players were lured by the financial attractions of the continent.

The Barclay's Premier League consists of twenty English teams in Europe competing to stay at the top to win the title & the top four are qualified for the UEFA Champions League, the battle of European Clubs. The club to finish fifth is qualified for the UEFA Cup & the bottom three are relegated to the English League Cup. The teams not in the Premier League can only qualify by winning the English League Cup Championship. The only four teams to win the Premier League since its formation are Manchester United (11), Arsenal (3), Chelsea (2) & Blackburn Rovers (1).

Thanks, that really makes me feel good about this MM now. This is my first MM & I thought I should add a lot of details, facts & graphics to make it look good. I've seen many MM before here, some of them I was impressed with & some weren't as good, so I thought I should give it a try.
