The Title Race So Far…

 As of today, 27th February 2007, Manchester United are top of the Premier League with a lead of nine points having played 28 games. There are still another ten games to be played before the season ends but we seem to be in the driving seat! We can only actually lose the title if we drop points so keep your fingers crossed and your voice loud to give the team some support.

The teams Manchester United play between now and the end of the season are as follows - Liverpool (A), Bolton (H), Blackburn (H), Portsmouth (A), Sheffield United (H), Chelsea (A), Middlesborough (H), Everton (A), Manchester City (A) and West Ham (H). There are certainly some juicy fixtures there that will certainly be worth watching!

Today’s Hero - Ji-Sung Park

Manchester United won 2-0 today against Charlton. The ifrst goal was scored by an unlikely hero - winger Ji-Sung Park. He has plyed the majority of games for the club this season but remains an unsung hero behind the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney so we should all make the effort to get to know him!
Park was born on February 25th 1981 in Suwon, South Korea. He began playing football at an early age and soon developed a reputation for his endless running and stamina, something that has followed him ever since and has earned him the nickname “Three Lung Park” at Manchester United.

He earned his first professional contract at South Korean club Kyoto Purple Sanga in 2000. When he signed, he became the first player to go straight into the J League without playing in the K League, which is no mean feat. He only played there until 2002. his performance at the World Cup led to a transfer to PSV Eindhoven. His time there was blighted with injury, although he did score in a Champions League semi-final match against AC Milan, which has proved to be a major highlight of his career so far.

Park moved to Manchester United in 2005 for £4m and has been a regular in the side ever since. He scored his first goal on April 9th 2006 against Arsenal, although he is renowned for his inability to score in general because of a lack of composure in the box. He has recently signed a contract extension that ties him to the club until 2010 so no doubt we will see a lot more of him!
