It's ok... I've got it...Liverpool make the short trip up the M62
on Saturday to face their North West rivals Manchester United. After knocking United out of the FA
Cup last month Liverpool will certainly feel like they have a great chance on Saturday despite the
match being played on United's home turf.
Here is my thinking:
1. Harry is battered and bruised after the court case, just look at the interview this morning
outside his home in Dorset. Think all the media pressure and the cushy job at Spuds, no doubt a
massive pay rise and more money for players to come from Levy will mean... thanks but no
thanks.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was delighted as his side's 2-0 win at home to Stoke
was complimented by former United midfielder Darren Gibson's maiden goal in Everton's 1-0 win over
league leaders Manchester City.
The result brings United level on top with the Citizens, leaving Fergie with no option but to
praise the resolve of his injury-plagued side while also joking that the sequence of events
surrounding Gibson's recent transfer to Goodison Park was planned out by him.

With about half an hour left to go in last night's game against Stoke, a roar came from the
Stretford End, followed by a loud chorus of "the city is yours, the city is yours, 20,000 empty
seats, are you fucking sure?"
It was clear that Everton had taken the lead.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted his regret at selling Ryan Shawcross to
Stoke four years ago, conceding that the decision to offload the promising center-half was down to
a preference to develop Gerard Pique at Old Trafford.
Pique has since returned to native Barcelona, leaving Fergie frustrated at the manner in which
Shawcross had to depart United.
When Wenger first came to England, the other title contenders had more or less sewn up the
scouting network on the British Isles, the next George Best or Denis Law was going to be snapped up
by United or Liverpool.
He had his connections in France and other parts of the continent... he stole a massive march on
Fergie and Co by signing the likes of Anelka and Fabregras whilst the rest were scouting on a cold
evening at Turf Moor.
Manchester United are entering a crucial stage in their title defense and with Europa League
commitments set to commence in a few weeks, Sir Alex Ferguson is counting on the return of
energetic midfielder Tom Cleverley.
Although Sir Alex will also have Ashley Young and Anderson return to training this week, he is
particularly excited about seeing Cleverley back in a fortnight's time.
It has been a scrappy season for defending Premier League champions Manchester United but in
dealing with a plethora of injuries, the club has certainly benefited from the consistency of
Michael Carrick, which has not gone unnoticed.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has backed the 30-year old midfielder to continue his terrific run
even as the Red Devils prepare to welcome returning playmakers Ashley Young and Tom Cleverley.
"He has a good attitude, although he should have, he's a young player with an opportunity at
Manchester United," said Ferguson. "That's one of the reasons you pick these players, because they
show their temperament as they come through the youth programmes and the reserves. I am always
confident about their temperament, their attitude to the game and their enthusiasm to play.
Rini from Adelaide he's gone, Branko from Newcastle he's gone, Mehmet from Melbourne already
gone...
A-League winner Vitaslav is surely going...The Jets give Championship winningrecently appointed Van
Egmond a guarantee, Fergie is he really still there? and Miron draws 2,000 a week, crowd not
dollars, and now is set to wear a mic in the half-time dressing room.
Wayne Rooney has against reiterated his respect for Sir Alex Ferguson after the manager was
presented with FIFA's Presidential Award at the Ballon d'Or ceremony last night.
Following Rooney's Boxing Day meal out, the press have been reporting of a big rift between the
player and manager.
Either Rooney and Ferguson are better actors than we thought or the newspapers have been blowing
the situation out of proportion this week.
Manchester United are through to the fourth round of the FA Cup after defeating Manchester City in
a pulsating encounter at Eastlands. Goals from Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck sent United fans into
raptures as Fergie's men reclaimed local rights, while City were left incensed by referee Chris
Foy's decision to send Kompany off.
Paul Scholes made an incredible return to the Manchester United team today after retiring last
summer. Despite not playing football for eight months, Scholes was brought on for the last half an
hour against City in the FA Cup 3rd round game today.
Incredibly, he made more passes than any City player did all game, with a 97% completion
rate.

Manchester United were 3-0 up by half time, saw City's skipper Vincent Kompany sent off in the
12th minute, and then survived a second half fight back from the home side to win 3-2 in the FA Cup
third round tie at The Etihad on Sunday.
Manchester United ended their two game losing streak with a massive 3-2 win over Man City at
the Etihad Stadium. Some quick thoughts on the game:
- Kompany tackle was worthy of a leg card. You cannot slide in with two feet off the ground
anymore. Doesn't matter if he went through Nani or not.
Paul Scholes: he may score goals again Paul Scholes has made a remarkable return to Manchester
United and could make his second debut in today's FA Cup clash against Manchester City. The
36-year-old has answered an SOS from Sir Alex Ferguson and agreed to un-hang his boots for the
remainder of the season.

Mirror: What are the odds this is Fergie and Rooney's last season at United? Derek
McGovern's Bets of the Day
Losing 3-0 at Newcastle was Manchester United's worst performance since last year and raised
three very serious questions. First, will Wayne Rooney still be at Old Trafford next season?

Why Barton can't moan too much over red card Festive thrills mean we should never have a winter
break When Wayne Rooney looks lost and unhappy, you know there is something wrong at Old
Trafford. Dropped for the home defeat by Blackburn, United's only remaining player with the
X-Factor was a non-factor as they lost against at Newcastle.

Bets of the Day
Premier League managers are largely 'orrible, not to mention largely large. They only stop
whingeing about the referee when they're whingeing about the linesman. Should their team collect
silverware they are happy to take all the credit (stand up, Fergie), but should they flop it's
because of the referee (grow up, Fergie), FA sabotage (shut up, Fergie), or the colour of the
opposition shirts (bottoms up, Fergie).

Manchester United 2-3 Blackburn Rovers Premier League 31st December 2011
With a starting 11 which included Rafael in midfield and Michael Carrick at centre-half (and
without Wayne Rooney), this was never going to be a vintage Manchester United performance.

It was an extraordinary couple of days of football in the immediate aftermath of Christmas. The
title race was not exactly turned on its head, but suddenly was brought to life.
With half the season still to go for those looking at mobile casinos to enjoy, both Manchester
sides suddenly find themselves level on points at the summit, while Tottenham have also made their
intentions known.

After the defeat to Stoke at the Britannia Stadium recently, it was important for Spurs to get
back to winning ways. White Hart Lane has been a fortress for us in recent seasons but the Martin
O'Neil factor was always likely to threaten our chances last Sunday against Sunderland.
In the end a moment of magic from Dutchman Van der Vart and an emphatic finish from forgotten
man Roman Pavlyuchenko secured the points.
Watch Wayne Rooney wind up Fergie in a agme of charades
Imagine, for a moment, that you were playing charades, and were asked to mime the film Bend it
like Beckham. How would you convey the Beckham part of that title? Perhaps you might think back to
that famous incident in which then Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson hit him in the face
with a boot and act that out.

Manchester United staged their 'Big United Quiz' for MUTV t'other day which, at one point in the
proceedings, saw Wayne Rooney charged with leading Ryan Giggs and Jonny Evans in an innocent game
of charades.
Rooney was tasked with acting out 'Bend It Like Beckham' to his teammates and, considering his
audience, our Wayne's choice of mime for the fourth word of that particular film title has to be
seen to be believed.
Two bits of A-League off field brilliance to make you weep this festive sesason.
Marcos Flores is brilliant - and still United couldn't win the league - well lets sign the Coach up
for four years and let Flores go.....
Loving the A-League business minds working hard around the country prior to the season and now the
chooks have come to roost.
Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick got on the score sheet as Manchester United delivered a great
performance to seal a comfortable 2-0 win at QPR. United were superior in every department and
could have easily had five or six, such was the gulf in quality between Fergie's men and the West
London outfit.
Sir Alex Ferguson has sung the praises of Manchester United's Brazilian twins, Rafael and Fabio
Da Silva, and hopes that the injuries which have seen them miss so much of the season so far will
become more infrequent the older they get.
"The two of them are terrific talents," said Ferguson.
