United Tops Table Despite Slack Defending

Manchester United 2 - AaB Aalborg 2
Scorers
Manchester United: Tevez (3), Rooney (52)
Aalborg: Jakobson (31), Curth (45)

Team: Kuszczak, Rio, Evans, Neville (Rafael 77), O'Shea, Anderson, Giggs (Scholes 45), Gibson (Park 45), Nani, Rooney, Tevez


Nothing much to say really. Celtic did the job and beat Villarreal, meaning that the result here didn't matter. We topped our group and avoided a possible draw in the next round against Barcelona, who I think are the best team in Europe right at this moment. The potential opponents are Inter, the two Madrids, Lyon and Sporting Lisbon, none of whom scares me.

As for todays game, we started sharply, scoring early thru Tevez and really looked like running up the score over the Danish side. But yet again our sloppy defending from set-pieces let us down.

We simply cannot defend from freekicks coming in from either side or deep. The equalizer gave Aalborg plenty of confidence and they took the lead with practically the last kick of the half in a blistering counter attack.

Ferguson was obviously not happy as he brought on a couple of more attacking substitutes. The result was a Rooney goal to draw the teams level again. We played Aalborg off the pitch for the remainder of the game but unlike the weekend, were not able to find a winner today.

We should see the return of the regular players on Saturday again Spurs. I should still be able to catch the game, before flying off to Beijing to freeze my ass off. With some luck, I may just be able to catch the world club cup (or whatever they name it now) games there.

Rant of the Year
This part is not United related. I'm just going to rant for the sake of ranting.

As some of you may know, my former pc went down in flames(literally) and I've just gotten myself a spanking new computer. It's ridiculously fast, and more importantly, I got it at a ridiculous price. Hell, it's almost like stealing it.

The downside is that it's pre-installed with Vista. I've heard loads of horror stories about Vista but after using it for a couple of days, it seemed like those stories were just that...stories. Everything was hunky dory.

Then the shit hit the fan. I spent the weekend installing all the programs I used to have on the old pc only to realise what complete asswipes the developers at microsoft are. No seriously....what complete asses.

The freaking damn Vista keeps prompting some security warning whenever I install a program. As if that's not bad enough, the same freaking warning pops up whenever I run those programs. And to make it even worse.......it continues to appear even after I've specifically removed the warning!

I can't believe the anal fucktarts that developed this shit. In the end I had to visit some geeksite and manually remove the works from the registry, not something I'm confident of doing without fucking up the whole system. It's a nightmare I tell ya!

Don't even let me get started on the Disk Defragmentor.......
