Liverpool's European Cup win in 2005 was one of the most incredible moments in their history. It stands to reason that somebody would make a film about it and I suppose it also makes sense they wouldn't be able to do so without including United.

Fifteen Minutes That Shook The World had its premiere on Monday night, attended by Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard and Rafael Benitez.

Jeff Winter has been causing a bit of a fuss of late with his seemingly totally biased and negative opinions against our manager.

No manager has ever been given a touchline ban for comments he made about a referee but Winter went as far as claiming Ferguson should have been given a FIFA stadium ban!

The Telegraph ran this story about a new set of Premier League rules being passed, giving the press and media rights holders wider access to the managers and players.

The gist of the story was:

Una imagen que dice todo y a la vez nada. Lamentablemente, poco podemos destacar de un Chelsea – Manchester United donde el principal hecho que resaltó por sobre el resto –dejando de lado el gol, claro está- fue nuevamente la muestra del pésimo arbitraje inglés ante la agresión del joven Evans al marfileño Drogba.

"I would like to do business, but only if the prices are right and that can be a problem in January," Ferguson said today.

We have been 'warned off' Carlton Cole after reports in the papers reckoned we were ready to part with £20m for the Chelsea reject. Don't get me wrong, he's doing a good job for West Ham this season but Darren Bent is having a better time at Sunderland.

Just a week or so ago I wrote on here claiming we needed to be more patient with Nani, following a string of frustrating games with the odd flash of something good. We've spent a lot of money on the lad and he should be given a fair run in the team before he's out on his arse.

But unfortunately for Nani, he couldn't just be patient and see what the manager's plans were for him.

"Ferguson is a very complicated man," Nani said. "He's tough. If things are all right, then they are all right. But when he thinks something is wrong, everything is screwed.

"He can go from complimenting you to just plain trashing you in a matter of minutes. Has it happened to me? Hell, yes!

Two things came up yesterday. Both through interviews with Portuguese players: one a current player, another a former red.

First, Nani:

"People expect more from me and it's not easy. 'I'. "I could be doing better, scoring more, but just think, I make a huge game today but the next one, I'm not even sure that I will play.

It has been one of the quieter football revolutions of the last decade Peterborough United have, over the last couple of years, gone from being also-rans in League Two to being back in the Championship for the first time (if we gloss over the various name changes) for the first time since 1994.

Manchester City fans were pissing themselves when the now infamous poster popped up in town. The club had forked out a small fortune to a London-based design company to come up with the slogan. Mark Hughes described it as "a bit of fun between fans", likening it to the counter we have on the Stretford End which marks how many years the bitters have gone without a trophy.

United will go into the international break ruing, what could have been, a draw (even, to the optimists, a win). Prior to the game, whilst I predicted a 1-1 draw, a nagging feeling told me a defeat to Chelsea was a perfectly possible and in a parallel universe, even deserving, given our recent form and I had my mind made up preparing for the worst.

This has been billed as win or bust by a lot of people especially United fans. Not since the era of Jose Mourinho's Chelsea (at their peak) have we gone into a match against Chelsea with the billing of underdogs. And for good reason.

If you had asked me six months ago who was England's best centre back I would have undoubtedly said Rio Ferdinand. However posed with the same question now I would be a little less sure. I think that the talk that he's "over the hill" is overly dramatic, but Ferdinand's form this season has definitely been more than questionable.

White Hart Lane boss plans to raid Old Trafford for England man.

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is planning a summer raid for troubled Rio Ferdinand, who has endured a torrid two months for club and country.

The Manchester United defender could even be left out of the team against Blackburn
tomorrow after being given the run-around by Fernando Torres in last Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Liverpool.

Rio to Spurs
With Rio Ferdinand suffering from poor form and repeated injuries, the papers have pencilled Harry Redknapp in for trying to sign our defender in the summer. Rio seems to be gravitating towards the London lifestyle again and next summer United might be looking to get back some of the £30m they paid out for him eight years previously.
