This past week Manchester United announced the signing of Zoran Tosic, the Serbian winger from
Partizan Belgrade. The signing signals more competition amongst Manchester United's wingers, and
potentially could see the exit of someone like Ji-Sung Park. Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that it
also means a lot to the future of Wayne Rooney.
The FA Cup is always good for a few surprise results, and this year has already proved to be no
different. Both Chelsea and Manchester City faced lower league opposition at home in the third
round, and neither side came out with the result they wanted. The more surprising of the two is
perhaps Manchester City's 3-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest.
Bolton could have a World Cup winner on their side.
While Tottenham avoided blushes last night at White Hart Lane, Manchester United couldn't do the

expecting a convincing win - for United. Instead, Derby scored one fantastic goal, and Rob Hulse
could've added another to make it 2-0 instead of 1-0.
Unbeaten at home squares off against unbeaten on the road.
Once viewed as a tactical mastermind, in recent weeks Rafa Benitez has tarnished that reputation.
Instead, the Spaniard has quickly become the man of a thousand words. If only he could turn those

just over a week ago, Benitez followed those comments up with more criticism about United executive
David Gill.
Defoe and Redknapp are reunited (and it feels sooo goooood).
When Manchester City was taken over earlier this season, talks of Galacticos and 10 digit numbers

battle that heavily scuppered their worldwide ambitions. With their latest victory over Newcastle,
City have climbed out of the bottom half of the table and into 9th place.
