MU do it again nothing more than entertaining football fans not only with display and style also with result. Certainly, it is not frist time in this season.
It started with away to Fulham where C.Ronaldo late solo run completed MU chased back from 1-0 down. That followed by John O'shea late winner against Liverpool. 'Full-stop' is not yet come.
Very recently, MU taught italian giant AS Roma one-tough football lesson with 7-2 second leg win in 'Theatre of Dream'; in first leg, MU lost away 1-2. Also last midweek, another italian giant AC Milan suffered another MU come back.
The lastest victim is Everton. 2-4, 2 goals down in first half; it is much much more than either having good luck or refree bias against MU opponent. Entertaining, never-say-die attitude, and willing-to-win minded are included.
Current MU is more entertaining than other more entertaining football clubs; Barcelona or Arsenal are far behind. What sends MU above them is MU keeps winning while entertaining.
Although MU is in pole position to take Chelsea's EPL crown this season, in football, nothing is sure untill 90 mins end.

Proud for Asian but sad for ....
Now is the time every Asian football fan can be very proud of because Japanese Celtic playmaker Nakamura win 'SPFA Player of the Year Award' this season, 2006-07 ( http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,16368,2483_2081485,00.html ).
I am absolutely delighted an asian player is that successful in European football; moreover, other professsional players choose him as the best makes his award more rewarding. Full credit to him as he plays amazing football this season plus scores important & beautiful goals including free-kick against MU in CL.
It is more amazing that Japanese started seriouslly playing football last decade. Almost immediately, they won Asian Cup in 1992. They needed to wait just another six years to showcase in World Cup. Fast uh.
In contrast, Myanmar football team was one of the top teams in Asia around 1960s and 1970s untill football association made big mistake by barring national players to play in First Division.
What if, they did not make that decision? No doubt, if there is not government interference, Myanmar football may develop into the standard as Japan has today. Our players may be as good as Nakata, Nakamura, and Ono etc.. So, they may have chance to play in one of the popular league in Europe and win award as Nakamura does today.
But, it is not happening as I imagine. Proud for Nakamura and Asian football, in contrast, sad for Myanmar football which is even struggling in Asean football.

In cup competition; top favorite are, mostly, losers
What make me worry, now, is my club, MU, is currently favorite to win both Champions League, and FA Cup; they are not even favorite, but top favorite, to gain 'triple' this year.
Every bookie odd so; every fan guess so; every football journalist tip so. Those make my worriness level higher.
Yeah, MU beat Roma 7-1, and C.Ronaldo is in unbelievable form! I pray those two are not 'indirectly introduction' of MU's downfall this season.
We should not forget MU has injuries concern; Chelsea, only recently after Mourinho in charge, and AC Milan are very reliable in title run-in.
Another main point is MU 'being top favorite.' Look back history pal, not far away, what happened to clearly favorite Brazil in World Cup 2006. That is not sole example. The list includes France in 2002 World Cup, Brazil in 1998 World Cup, and AC Milan in 2005 Istanbul final etc...
If top favorite definitely win the tournament, Porto would not win Champions League in 2004-2005, Greece and Denmark would not crown European Cup in 2004 and 1992 respectively.
I wish, now, MU players are not over-the-moon until they gain another 'triple'; I wish they look back to those statistic and learn from those.
Dear Players, Be more concentrated on this season agenda, to win back EPL, on match-by-match basic. Fans should not expect too much from players as, these day, players play more games than in 1998-99 season; even Sir Alex admitted that another triple is impossible because of that.
I will be more than satisfy even if MU kicks Chelsea out from England throne. EPL title is more than enough! Winning extra EPL will be huge bonus this season.
Finally, Be REALIST!

Wh will happen if MU lost EPL title to Chelsea this year?
Yes, after this week fixtures, MU and Chelsea are just three points away. Now, there are more posibilities that Blues can be King of England for three consecutive year.
If you are in MU's shoe, leading all the way yet lose out to EPL title just a few weeks away is absolutely devastating. If it happens, I believe finger-itchy journalists will critize Sir Alex mostly with belows.
1. Fail to replace Nisterooly
As vast experience manager like Fergi should know that without 20 goals warranty striker like Nisterooly, crowning EPL is tall order. He can make excuse as Glazer did not support with huge cash for Nisterooly's replacement. When Smith was still out for long, Solkajaer can not play full 90 min for the whole season; Fergi definitely should find replacement for former No. 10. At least with bargain.
2. Larsson's departure
Strikers were injuried yet Fergi let Larsson went back to Sweden. Yeah, he acted like faithful man who respect the contarct. It will be one of the fergie career failure highlight. Yet, he let rossi go to Parma on loan when Saha and Solkajaer were not fit yet; Rooney could not score week in and week out.
