I’ve not posted for so long, and I wasn’t going to do so again until next season, but couldn’t let tomorrow’s match go without some comment.
I’ve moved house twice this year, and had so little time for the computer let along blogging.
Having wrapped up the league for the third time in a row, becoming the first ever team to achieve that twice, we’ve got the chance to add another historic landmark – back to back Champions League. Slowly but surely Fergie is reigning in all of Liverpool’s “history” and surpassing it. Should we win tomorrow night, it will be 5-4. It would make next season very very interesting. Liverpool fans should be very worried.
But enough about Liverpool and records. There is a simple task ahead and that is to beat Barcelona tomorrow. I offer no tactical thoughts or analysis of the opposition, but just say United have the best defence in Europe, some of the best attacking players in the world (and half will be on the bench ready for deployment) and will find out if we’ve got the best team.
I hope it is a good, exciting game and that we win, obviously

Apologies for the lack of posts. Stuff going on and all that. I’ve decided to do something a bit different with the blog. Less reportage and more opinion and original content. Pure reporting of games is just too dull to keep up for too long.
Anyway, until that gets sorted, I’ll repost a comment I made elsewhere :-
Harry Redknapp on coin throwers : “They should be banned for life from football grounds because there is no place for them in football.”
Harry Redknapp on a coin thrower : “I have met Didier Drogba and he is a terrific guy, I’m sure it’s the kind of thing that when he woke the next morning he would have deeply regretted.”
But Harry, there is no place in football for Drogba. That’s what you said. Why is it okay for Drogba to throw coins and not others ? Because he wasn’t the first ? It was retaliation? Sorry, two wrongs don’t make a right.
Never mind, Rooney, just imagine if it was Ronaldo?
Actually, I couldn’t imagine Ronaldo doing such a thing, unlike that Chelsea thug.
