50% of respondents felt that the silly mistakes and give aways Rob Styles is going to perform will win Man U the title!
While with a greater sense of reality, another 50% of respondents strongly believes that Man U will not win the title this year.
We should never write off Man U, but with that dud head Styles around, who knows?!?

Gracing the Pitch of Hell.
The match played at Tanglin Field pitch 3 seemed as inviting as having a mud fight than a soccer match.
The game played out on a sunny afternoon on 25 Aug 07 after some light rain in the morning. This soaked the grassless areas of the pitch, and created many patches of soft, uncompromising mud areas.
Conditions couldn't have been made worst from the scorching sun which torched the skins of both set of players as each side prepared for the kick-off.
The match started with 10 men for Team Sunday which included Richard, a player loaned from the opposition to make up the numbers.
The game went on with TS taking most of the control of the game, but were unable to convert the chances that were created. Even with such poor conditions, TS still managed to play a controlled game with an increased understanding of each other since its first game.
Late in the first half, the opposition (Blue Team) had a goal mouth scamble whcih tested the defence and with an opportunistic strike, breached the wall that had been defending so well up to this point.
1-0 at this stage and non of the players from TS looked like they had been defeated. The Second half saw the introduction of new players to the side, with Richard returning to the opposition. Mark and Dominic were introduced as Striker and Right winger respectively, with Aston moving into goal and Edmund (who was GK in the first half) moving up to join the Strikers.
Though untested, unproven and not yet acclamatized, the new players made an immediate impact in the second half. Dominic's fight for the ball down the right was rewarded with a break away. With some neat and precise passing, the ball found Ryan who chipped the ball towards the the left post which Edmund tucked away with a header. Goooaaalll!!!!...
1-1 and the game was pretty much to be won. The condition of the pitch together with the sun however, was draining and as the game progressed, made it harder to defend and attack. The opponent was handed a sprinkling of luck with about 10mins to go.
The opponent had several chances coming to the end of the game which they had failed to convert. Then, a misfortune of sorts occured as the ball simply couldn't be cleared out of TS' area. A hassled strike from the opponent saw Aston beaten but was cleared off the line by Marcus, but the clearance hit George and was deflected into the goal.
By no fault of anyone, the team was suddenly 1-2 down.
When the final whistle blew, the team though dissapointed in defeat, was not dis-spirited. Very encouraging indeed.
Gracing the pitch of hell was always going to be difficult, but there is a greater battle to fight. And this game has been another step in moving Team Sunday towards a greater battle of self improvement and discovery.
Squad: Aston, George, Mervin, Marcus, Adrian, Benny, Laurence, Dominic, Ryan, Mark, Edmund(1), Boon

Finding Feet
In a highly entertaining game at Canberra Secondary School, Team Sunday played a rusty game and left the pitch 7 goals behind their opponents. The team in Yellow was superior in terms of experience and numbers and played 2 different teams in each half.
Though the defeat was heavy, but the hearts of Team Sunday's players were not weighed down. Encouraging was the movement and play of the players, though many were obviously showing signs of depleted form after almost a month of inactivity together.
The game had gone on well, with both teams evenly matched until a mis-kick by Marcus gifted Yellow team a scoring opportunity which they converted with little ease. Then after a lapse down the left flank by TS's defence, the opponent danced his way through before slotting home the second goal.
It was perhaps the third and final goal of the first half that strangled the game beyond the reach of TS. A mistake by the keeper, let the ball slipped through his hands into the net.
3-0 at half time.
The 2nd Half saw TS taking on a whole new line up but matched the opponents grit for grit, bite for bite. The goals that were conceded soon after were undeserving, 4 more were to force their way past the net with Marcus in goal. TS had their share of chances, but missed most notably a couple of chances that went begging.
This game had exposed many flaws of TS's game, and it is most encouraging to hear the determination of the players to want to improve as a team. The lessons of this game may indeed be valuable for future games, and Team Sunday is now just waiting for the unlucky victims to a sleeping monster, once awaken.
Squad:
Aston, Jeff, Mervin, Marcus, Kaye, Raymond, Jack, Boon, Adrian, Lionel, Ryan, Laurence, George, Ben, Jason
Don't worry team, our game is improving, we just need to continue working on it.
