Park Ji-sung has silently achieved a feat that many cannot even think of - to play 200 games for
Manchester United. He completed the milestone when he was introduced as a substitute in United's
staggering comeback draw at Chelsea on last Sunday. The 30-year-old energetic midfielder who joined
Manchester United in 2005 from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven was considered a money-making venture by
many
Park Ji-Sung made his 200th appearance for United last weekend in our 3-3 draw with Chelsea.
When Park joined United for £2m in 2005 several people claimed it was just to appeal to the
Asian market in order to sell more shirts. Those people obviously didn't watch him play for PSV
against AC Milan in the Champions League a few months before we bought him.
Rafael was thrown in to the centre of midfield alongside Ji-Sung Park for Manchester United's
3-2 defeat against Blackburn.
Whilst he admits he is far happier in his usual position, he hasn't ruled out making a move to
the midfield when he's older.
"A little bit, yeah," he said.

Manchester United 2-0 Stoke City Premier League 31st January 2011
A penalty kick either side of half-time was enough to give an under-par United side a vital win
at Old Trafford on Tuesday night, a victory that sees them go level with title rivals City at the
top of the table.

It looked to be another long afternoon at the Emirates after Arsenal found themselves down two
to Aston Villa at halftime and on the verge of going out of the FA Cup. Relief came quickly,
however, as the Gunners scored three goals within 10 minutes to move on to the fifth round.
Sir Alex Ferguson does not concede that Liverpool were deserved winners in their 2-1 win over
Manchester United on Saturday and the Scot believes that the league champions should still be in
the FA Cup based on the performance at Anfield.
United fought back from a goal down as Ji-Sung Park equalized Daniel Agger's headed opening goal
at Merseyside but it was all in vain for the visitors as Dirk Kuyt scored late to ensure progress
for the hosts.

The subtext was Luis Suarez watching from the stand with Patrice Evra getting booed by the
Anfield crowd and all the lovely chanting between the two sets of fans about the existence of
racism. At the end, the Reds had the greater satisfaction of beating Utd, the second Manchester
club to suffer at their hands in three days.
Liverpool beat Man Utd 2-1 in the FA Cup 4th round on Saturday, thanks to an overdue goal from Dirk
Kuyt in the 88th minute.
Liverpool lined up with a defensive formation with Jamie Carragher in front of a flat back four,
paying too much respect to a United side shorn of players like Vidic, Ferdinand and Rooney.
Goals from Daniel Agger and Dirk Kuyt saw Liverpool get revenge for last season's FA Cup at Old
Trafford as they beat Manchester United 2-1 at Anfield. Elsewhere Chelsea beat QPR and Newcastle
were shocked by Brighton.
While the clash at Anfield got all the headlines this week, the biggest story took place on the
coast as Brighton boss Gus Poyet once again haunted Newcastle in the FA Cup.

Dirk Kuyt's 88 minute strike put Liverpool into the fifth round of the FA Cup as they beat
bitter rivals Manchester United 2-1 at Anfield earlier today.
Daniel Agger gave the Reds the lead as United keeper David De Gea was again found wanting midway
through the first half before Park Ji Sung scored a deserved equaliser as United came out on top in
the possesion stakes, however possesion doesn't always win games and Dirk Kuyt's winner with just
two minutes of normal time on the clock proved that as the Kop went wild.

Liverpool 2-1 Manchester United FA Cup January 28th
With Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes going head to head with Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher, we
could've been back in 2000, although the constant booing of Patrice Evra by the Anfield faithful
belonged farther back in the dark ages.
Phil Jones was subbed off after 20 minutes in Manchester United's 2-1 victory over Arsenal,
needing a stretcher to take him off the field. Reports from the touchline suggested he had just
twisted his ankle but the following day there were claims he had ligament damage.
However, Mike Phelan has given us hope that Jones could be available for our FA Cup clash at
Anfield.
Arsenal vice-captain Thomas Vermaelen has returned to fitness in time for this evening's massive
home fixture against Manchester United while there were also another two surprises in the Gunners'
starting line-up against the reigning champions.
The 18-year old summer signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain makes a memorable debut while Tomas
Rosicky also starts over Andrei Arshavin and Yossi Benayoun, who have previously been preferred to
him this season.
Things we lost in the center: The centre has always been the source of direction and control since
the beginning of ages. Isaac Newton will tell you, your movement and indeed of any other object, is
based on it's centre of gravity(which makes it clear that Park Ji-Sung's is somewhere in between
his butt cheeks).
Boxing Day is one of the most exciting days of the year for soccer fans as all 20 Premier League
teams take to the field over a two-day period and Monday's offerings did not disappoint.
Manchester United are now tied at the top of the Premier League title after a 5-0 destruction of
Wigan.
Manchester United took a big step towards their 20th league title by moving level on points with
leaders Manchester City, who were held 0-0 at West Brom, following a 5-0 victory against Wigan.
United, who thrashed Fulham 5-0 five days ago and Wigan suffered the same fate with the help of
Dimitar Berbatov's hat-trick (41, 58, 78).
Dimitar Berbatov delivered a late Christmas present to United fans, scoring three in a 5-0
demolition of 10-men Wigan, to send Ferguson's team joint top with Manchester City, albeit behind
on goal difference. Park Ji Sung and Antonio Valencia also got on the scoresheet, as Wigan were
furious with referee Phil Dowd, whose decision to [.

Manchester 5-0 Wigan Athletic Premier League 26th December 2011
Wigan's recent resurgence took quite a mauling at Old Trafford on Boxing Day, with Dimitar
Berbatov giving Sir Alex Ferguson a timely reminder of his quality in front of goal with a superb
hat-trick.

Manchester United scored 5 wonderful goals against a hapless Wigan Athletic to draw level on points
with leaders Manchester City on a busy afternoon of Boxing Day. Ji Sung Park opened the scoring in
the 8th minute before Berbatov made it 2-0 before the break. Conor Sammon was sent off for a wild
attack on Carrick's face.
Dimitar Berbatov shows his United career may not be over as so many have suggested outside the
club with a smashing goal v Wigan adding to ,a

Ji Sung Park gives Manchester United an 8th minute lead at Old Trafford against Premier League
strugglers Wigan.
Rio Ferdinand, Danny Welbeck, Nani, Phil Jones, Jonny Evans, Michael Carrick, Michael Owen,
Darron Gibson and Mame Biram Diouf visited the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.
Wayne Rooney, Park Ji-Sung, Patrice Evra and Tom Cleverley went to The Christie.

Republik of Mancunia.
One of the bigger talking points has been the return of Ashley Young. James Milner showed class
by not celebrating at Eastlands recently, expect Ashley Young to do exactly the same today, but
preferably because he hasn't scored.
Either way, it's a tough game ahead and I suspect there will be a bigger interest in the manner
we McLeish approaches the game than any real expectation in getting much from it.
Ferguson punished for showing Palace a lack of respect
Bookies were offering odds of 12/1 on a Crystal Palace victory at Old Trafford last night, and
Sir Alex Ferguson's shock following his side's 2-1 quarter final loss showed that he expected his
Manchester United side to win as much as they did.
Lebanon achieve the impossible Lebanon Daily Star.
As a sidebar to all of the hype surrounding the Euro2012 play off qualifiers this past week, I
noticed a great story emerging out of the Middle East which deserves more than a mention. Asian
power South Korea were beaten 2-1 in Beirut by Lebanon who rank 112 places below them in the FIFA
rankings which in any region is a huge accomplishment.
Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-Sung has lavished praise on manager Sir Alex Ferguson for his
ability to stay at the top of his game after 25 years in control at the Premier League giants.
"He knows past and present things about football," the former South Korea international told
the club's official website.
Park Ji-Sung has today claimed he hopes to spend the rest of his career at Manchester United
although recognises he can't take his position at the club for granted.
"When I came to United I didn't expect to be here for this long," he said. "Looking
back on my career I can't believe I've been here six or seven years.

Manchester United 1-0 Sunderland Premier League 5th November 2011
United's 1-0 victory against Sunderland won't go down as one of their better performances during
Fergie's 25-year reign, as the home side failed to match the occasion with a big performance.
To celebrate Sir Alex Ferguson's 25th year in charge of Manchester United, he has named a
youthful lineup for today's match against Sunderland. Wayne Rooney finds himself starting in the
heart of the Premier League champions' midfield for a second straight match, partnering enforcer
Darren Fletcher.
From the title, most people will think I'm going to big up our own Chu Young Park based on his
impressive performance in the Carling Cup against Bolton on Tuesday, but actually, I want to take
this opportunity to mention an unsung hero from the same game, Yossi Benayoun.
Man United have utilised Ji Sung Park as an attack based defender for the last few years now to
great effect.
Manchester United proved that the heavy defeat on the Derby have slowly been forgotten as after
getting a win in the Carling Cup, Sir Alex Ferguson, successfully beaten Everton at Goodison Park
thanks to Javier "Chicarito" Hernandez's goal.
Meanwhile, Chelsea gets even further from chasing the second place position after Andre Villas
Boas' team surprisingly crumbled in the hands of Arsenal despite playing at Stamford Bridge.

With most of the players involved in the derby-day pasting at the weekend given the night off,
Manchester United wafted through to the quarter finals of the Carling Cup with a 3-0 victory over
League Two side Aldershot at the Recreation Ground last night with Dimitar Berbatov, Michael Owen
and Park Ji-Sung doing the honours for United.
Two Chinese youngsters have realized a dream by beginning a week-long trial with Liverpool Football
Club.
Lung Chan, 16, and Chen Nal, 15, arrived in the city on Wednesday ahead of a seven-day spell at the
club's Academy.
A meet and greet with the likes of Frank McParland and Damien Comolli was first on the agenda prior
to a Thursday evening training session with the Reds' U16 squad.
Former Liverpool defender Gary Gillespie has been singing the praised of Liverpool left-back Jose
Enrique, who put in another solid performance against Manchester United at Anfield last
Saturday.
Gillespie, who was himself a consistently good defender, enthused:
"I haven't seen him [Enrique] have a bad game to be honest.
Liverpool and Manchester United's caution makes for stalemate | David Pleat
Tight marking and cagey tactics prompted an erratic, if still intriguing, stalemate between
Liverpool and Manchester United Watching this game and analysing it retrospectively, it would have
been easy to assume that Sir Alex Ferguson and Kenny Dalglish had locked heads pre‑match and
settled for a cautious first period.

Liverpool 1-1 Manchester United Premier League 15 October 2011
Stevie Gerrard returned to action and Wayne Rooney, apparently depressed after receiving his
Euro 2012 ban, was left on the bench as 'the biggest game in the world' kicked off at lunchtime on
Saturday.
Liverpool 1: Gerrard 68′United 1: Hernandez 81′
In a match that was predictably testy, all the drama came in the last twenty minutes as
Liverpool and United shared the points at Anfield. It was the same old story for Liverpool, who had
plenty of clear-cut chances go begging.
Liverpool 1-1 Manchester United: Gerrard scores as Liverpool are held.
Steven Gerrard marked his first start of the 2011/12 season with a goal, as Liverpool were held
to a 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Anfield on Saturday lunchtime. On his return to the initial
teamsheet for the first time since March, the captain netted with a sublime free-kick in the 68th
minute to give his side the lead in a tense contest.
