I had warned them to tie it!

@Nobby and the rest, I agree that the EPL is more competitive and that is a valid reason for some to find it attractive, however, personally I find the kind of soccer in the EPL so drab. Most of those players should playing a different sport. Maybe athletics(coz of speed)or wrestling (coz of brute)

La liga on the other hand is a show of class(except when Murinho commands his boys to spoil barca's game as we witnessed recently)

Let me also say that even the "special one" should not be coaching Real. Its an insult to who they truly are. He is more suited for the English game.

"Sir Alex, you made a vow to knock Liverpool off their perch and you certainly achieved that. Now it's time to make another vow - to knock Barcelona off theirs and bring back that trophy to Old Trafford."

Depending on who you are, you will be happy/sad to know that SAF has accepted that challenge. Na hii sio porojo. True story!

@Maich..will Man u win the trophy again..yes chances are against another English side.

What am trying to say is it's not Man U in general it's the state of the English game...as Pep recently pointed out, to have a 37 year old playing at this level draws many question marks about the state of the game in England..Man U won the title against very shoddy opposition thats a fact, could they have won the title in Spain or Italy for that matter..i seriously doubt.

Sometimes as am sure you have witnessed it's massively different to watch the game live as opposed to the TV, while on the tele, you are constantly watching where the ball is in the stadium you can see the whole pitch and what players are involved. I am now seriously having my doubts against Hernandez..is he good ..yes he is great hell NO..i prefer Micheal Owen any day, apart from pace and postioning, there is nothing else to his game, Owen had everything..am sure premier league coaches learnt a thing or 2.This dude was rooted to the center cicle for Eons..could not understand Fergie at all...yes they are game plans, but they evolve constantly...its was such a pity..

Man U game plan was, pass the ball to Valencia, runs across the wing against a supossedly weak Abidal, cross, and hopes Hernandez, scores a tap in or Rooney..really is that strategy?? (from the first whistle, they sent a cross to Valencia) then i knew Man U have not brought anything different...it may work in the premier league..but again thats the premier league!!

Sure Fergie will rebuild, great assumption other teams will do nothing, Man City will surely show a hand, Chelsea, Liverpool and surely Arsenal..Tottenham will be there or their about, but you forget Barca have built that team for quite some-time...and i thiNK thats one thing Fergie does not have..70 in December..lets wait and see.

@ Ric Dees, you have a point.
