Ferdinand over injury hell?

Rio reckons the game at Anfield forced him confront his injury nightmare head on. As i have said before, i don't think he has got over it, he still hasn't put a totally convincing performance in since he came back even if our defence has looked streets better.

Fergie talks of the hatred of United - Liverpool, but wonders if it's our biggest game anymore, it still is for me.

Giggs on why he was happy to leave the glamour and fame to Beckham, that turned out to be tremendous news for our point of view as his career shows no sign of ending yet. In fact i would be more than happy to see him in midfield today.

Nani believes United are now starting to see the best of him.

He has played reasonably well but even if we went on to win the either the league or champions league i'm afraid i would still have my doubts. I need to see him do it consistently over a season before i say he is a United player.

The independent's Steve Tonge writes that the stakes are high for both teams today. But not for the same reasons, obviously. We have to enjoy great these days, on the pitch, what a contrast to the 80's when the shoe was well and truly on the other foot, even if we did usually seem to turn them over when we actually played them.

Munchen in March, i hope it's as great a trip for the reds going as it was for us in July, it's a great city. As for the draw, it couldn't have been much better really as we avoided Barca and Inter until the final. I saw Bayern beat Fiorentina and whilst Robben was on fire their defence doesn't look anything to write home about, though it did have a couple of injuries on the night. That tie will all come down to how well our defence plays, so whilst i'm fairly confident, i'm not totally confident. The best part of the draw is it has given no hard away trips before any of our remaining league games. So if we don't win the titlewe, will have no excuses.

The Observer reports that the red knights will make their move in June, no quotes.

Cable ready to be chancellor if their is a hung parliamentafter the next election in a coalition. That all seems a bit previous. My first thought would be surely either the tories or new labour would want the the most important office of state for themselves if they have the most votes. But then i thought whoever is made chancellor has got to make some pretty unpopular decisions. So maybe tactically it may not be the worst move, especially if they call another election not too far into the future. Then maybe either of the main parties would find it useful to be able to put the blame on the Liberals. I still can't see it though, whats the point of being in power and not excersising it.
