Guardian Unlimited: Sport blog: United strikers find joie de vivre in unpicking Villa's best laid plans

A fairly good analysis of how the title race may be fought and how good uniteds performance was. Though perhaps a bit hard on england comparing this performance to last weeks in moscow, as the old song goes United are better than England. For all the recent praise of Gareth Barry and the supposed balance he brings to the England midfield, he would probably be about sixth choice for that position at United. A very good point about the full backs though, shades of what AC Milan did to us at the san siro in the semi final.

This article makes a very good point about the amount of ex united players who have made a success of their careers in management, especially compared to those from Liverpool or Arsenal.

When we were linked with him a couple of seasons ago, i wasn't really sure about him.He can play alright, but he is also painfully slow and everything has to revolve around him so much, that if the opposition snuff him out , your team would be totally out of the game. A very good player, but not quite good enough for the very top level.

For someone whose main job is writing about music, he seems to have a decent habit for picking up on issues that matter to the ordinary man on the street that most political writers don't seem to have a clue about. If agency worker rights aren't something that the Labour party will legislate to help what is the point of it anymore.

I have never really heard or read any of his work, i have read interviews and seen short clips of him on the T.V. He has always seemed like one of the good guys of American twentieth century history along with Arthur miller, Bobby Kennedy and FDR amongst others.

Kenneth O Morgan praises David Lloyd George as the wizard gets a new statue in Parliament square, though why they have got a member of the royal family to unveil it escapes me.
