Hi folks – you well? I'm back after a long weekend away in Cork for a friend's wedding, during
which time I consumed too much Guinness and sneaked into a pub to watch Sunday's big game the
All-Ireland football final, in which Cork overcame a dismal first-half display to roar back and
beat Down by the narrowest of margins.
Alex Thomas: Which team do you dread most in the Premier League?
Alex Ferguson: Well the Premier League is such a difficult league, it's almost tribalism, you
can't dismiss that impact when it comes to winning the Premier League.
I always look at the team that wins the league the year before, you have to be the target to try
to work on, it's up the rest including us to do that and Chelsea are the champions, there's no
question about that.
Somehow even though we missed the 6pm deadline on Tuesday the Premier League allowed us to sign
the experienced attacking midfielder Rafael Van der Vaart which has pretty much saved our transfer
story this summer in my eyes although I would've still liked a similar quality striker to come
in.
Last week we showed you the original cage advert by Nike. Well they brilliantly followed
that up with a rematch back in the ship, but this time as Cantona wonderfully says, "first to 100
wins"...

"Who is on fire, Henry is on fire" and Roberto Carlos' face on 55 seconds make this advert
brilliant.
Hoy volvemos para comentar uno de los momentos de "Looking for Eric", película
del cineasta británico Ken Loach. Como siempre en el cine de Loach se tratan
temas sociales; en está ocasión el argumento gira en torno al fútbol; en concreto en torno a la
vida de un hincha del Manchester United al que se le aparece el "filósofo"
Eric Cantona para ayudarle en su crisis vital.
Por HalftownUn sitio sin mayor historia, donde el mercurio pocas veces sube más allá de la
marca de veinte grados, los inviernos se pasan entre botellas de Chablis y los jugadores de fútbol
pocas veces se atreven a abandonar la manga larga. Quizá es por eso que en la ciudad se estilan
los caracteres fuertes, como el de la estatua que domina el centro de la ciudad: Louis Nicolas
Davout.
