Goal difference could be vital

Says Fergie,

He's not wrong, i always felt it was vital in the treble year, it was like an extra little cushion having the superior goal difference.

Fergie says he is confident Gary Neville will return, but he won't be playing for the reserves tonight against Liverpool.

Benzema doesn't fancy the premier league, or not yet anyway.

DIC close to sealing Liverpool takeover, according to some reports, others say it is just Gillet selling out, whilst Hicks wants to tough it out.

This just goes to prove you can only keep such a big squad of ego's happy whilst you are winning trophies, and even then only if your main man is a good man manager. Which is something that it has to be admitted Mourinho obviously was, and which they are going to find hard to replace.

A 50,000 stadium is too big for them, some of those European qualifying group stage attendance's are pitiful.

Quite right too, besides the fact they run the risk of saying something they will later regret, when was the last time you heard anybody say anything profound or worth hearing post match anyway. Funny how Wenger saw it though wasn't it, he usually doesn't does he. What was he saying last week about his players trying to kick lumps out of Nani, "it was quite right too", i do believe. He's not a hypocrite is he.

And if nothing changes the only people to walk away unaffected by the upcoming economic turbulence are the people to blame for the whole sorry mess.
