Rooney is 40-60 for Bayern

If he has got a chance of being in the frame, it will surely be from the bench. Still it's great news for Sunday, if it's true that is.

Patrick Barclay asks whether Fergie has a big rebuilding job ahead of him. There are a lot of if and buts to that answer. Does he have any money? will we lose Vidic? will Scholes carry on playing?etc.

Alan Hansen sees us scraping through against Bayern. He is right about the rot setting during the first twenty minutes at the San siro.

The first report i have read that takes Wenger to task for Arsenals disastrous first half performance against Barca. I would go further than Cascarino, how does a supposed top coach send his team out to give such a tactically inept performance and somehow keep his reputation intact. He is totally right about not playing his injured players as well, i wouldn't be surprised if Fabregas started that game only 40-60. Surely a warning to Fergie to not start Rooney unless he is 100% fit.

A CPS report will say that the police ignored news of the world phone hacking evidence.

This paragraph exposes everything wrong with this country " The revelations increase the prospect of the government ordering a new inquiry into the affair. While Scotland Yard's public position remains that it did all that its resources and the law permitted, some police sources admit privately that they failed to fully investigate the case, that decisions may have been distorted by a fear of upsetting Rupert Murdoch's newspapers, and that it was "unfortunate" that the officer in charge of the inquiry, assistant commissioner Andy Hayman, subsequently left the police to work for News International as a columnist." Is there any organisation that is either not scared or not in the pocket of Murdoch and news international. Stanley Baldwin was from a great politician, but he was Churchillian compared to todays pygmies.

The murder od Eugene Terre'blanche came as a bit of a shock. The documentary that Nick Broomfield made about him in the 90's was riveting TV and showed to be a bit of a clown, a dangerous clown though. But thinking about that, it was not quite as out of the blue given his bizarre behaviour.
