David Beckham keen to extol Sir Alex Ferguson's legacy - Times Online
For all the jibes aimed at our greatest leader and for all the cringeworthy comments he has come out with over the years this piece shows above all what's good about SAF

Decent game last night from United but expected at least 3 goal victory. AC really are a spent force and it shows how rubbish the Italian league is that they are 2nd. Lump on Chelsea to hammer Inter.
As for last night Rooney is superb and my fave bit from him was not in front of goal but about 60 mins in when Valencia had tried to scroe at the back post from nani's cross. Rooney put his head back and sprinted a good 40 or 50 yards to fill the space left by Valencia until he could get back. Compare that to Ronaldinho watching G Nev swing cross after cross into the box and it shows you the difference between the teams.
On the subject of Nani. Great ball for the goal which we know he can do but the rest of the night was so frustrating watching him being wasteful. The lad has no brain.

Happy with that draw. Pretty much what Id have picked given the choice.
Hopefully Arsenal can do Barca this time and setup another all english Final. We certainly dont want Barca winning a 3rd trophy in 5 yrs.

Bu66er. I wanted either Bordeaux, Lyon or Moscow. Getting Barca is the worst draw for us, i'd much rather Bayern you jammy gits 
Platini must be pleased with a French club guaranteed a semi spot
Platini didn't do the draw himself did he as that is a friggin fix.

I reckon Man u will be in the final with either Barca or Arsenal. Big ask for arsenal but if they dont make too many mistakes then they got a chance.
How good would a Man u v Arsenal final be?

So much for the "open draw"
I stated in another forum yesterday Uefa want the big two in the final again, probable now.
Well I'll be cheering on he Gooners, Id like to play them in the final, if we can get past Bayern and the Frogs

Wahoo what a good day it was
Bit of a **** game really but Torres and Gerrard did **** all. Fletcher was impressive again and is really showing his class this seasen (eh eh Funkii ) but it's still not over and I hope Rooney doesn't get injured

Horrible run of games though now for United. Bolton away in the late Sat kick off before flying to Munich to play on the Tuesday and between the return leg at OT they have Chelsea.

Come on Gav be fair I have had about 3 slices of Mrs Fletchers home made humble pie since the start of the season
I've been converted
Outplayed for large parts, players giving away cheaply and Rooney missing a few chances and now probably out for a couple of weeks. Not a good night with too many underperforming, lets hope for better come saturday.Aaron
