Pique: I’m Sorry For United But Happy For Me - Republik Of Mancunia: A Manchester United Blog

Gerard Pique, who returned to Barcelona after a few years with Manchester United, has admitted he felt sorry for his former team-mates, although is of course over the moon to add another winners medal to his collection.

“It was special because we played really well, we deserved to win and Barcelona was always my club since I was a young lad,” said Pique. “I am sorry for them because they are very good friends of mine and to see them lose the game is not good, but I am happy for me. Since I arrived here I knew it was the right decision. When I arrived it was a great team, we started to play well and now we have won the cup, we have won the league, and now the champions league – it is a dream season.”

oh yeah. heard about that. but the guys at Sahara are still denying the news. plus the report i read was at soccernet, and i don't trust anything they write, pure tabloid journalism. personally i think the sahara logo would look pretty cool on the red jersey, looks hot on the indian national cricket team, but thats a very light sky blue colour. plus its the only logo that team have had for almost 10 years now, so most fans are used to it! :P

i personally think we need some changes starting with the AIG kit. It brought us CL and 2 EPL but i'm fed up with it.

lol. How's Sharp Electronics doing these days?

Rhetorical question, mate :)

Bolton think that 6 mln would be enough to secure the services of Miguel Veloso from Sporting. Isn't it the player we were interested before ?
With Fletcher and Hargo fit i don't think we need him but ..

@anon

Good point about Berba. He can create things at anytime with his vision and through balls, ala spurs.

well looks like this gerard got himself a medal, unlike another i know...

doncobaino- lawl.
Tom F- at a loss of words! ;)

corea- that was actually semi rhetorical, coz i wouldn't mind having them on the shirt again! :P
but then again, there are some rumours of a middle eastern take over of our club! though i wouldn't want that, if it helps get rid of our debt, why not?
and if there is going to be any change of owners, i hope it happens during fergie's reign, to ensure a smooth transition.

Nemanja- thanks mate. glad i didn't talk through my ass for once. :P

I have to say I think Pique won Barca the match for two reasons

1) That Tackle to prevent park from scoring. I think our tactic was designed to get an early goal. I may be wrong but I think if we had got the early goal we would have shut up shop and looked to use Ronaldo to grab a second on the break.

2) The Foul on Ronaldo. Ronaldo was through, Toure was behind both Pique and Ronaldo and while he is strong he isn't pacy. Ronaldo had a great chance of scoring in a one on one and Pique stopped that chance. As the last man and Toure having no chance to realistically cover it he should have been off. Certainly we have had atleast one player sent off this season for being the last man when a defenders had alot more chance of covering that Toure had. With Pique off they would have had to draft another defender in and sacrifice either someone in midfield or attack.
