It's never a good game when United lose but, amid disappointment and controversy, punters'
should remember that the first leg of this Carling Cup semi-final was a cracker. Manchester derbies
are fast becoming the most hottest clashes in England and that can only be a good thing.
As for this Wednesday: it's only half-time, we're one down with 90 minutes to play in front of
75,000 screaming Reds and we're famous for being the comeback kings of European football.

As the players walk out on to the pitch at Old Trafford, music is blasted out of the tannoy
which is reminiscent of something out of Gladiator. You almost expect lions to come racing out of
the tunnel after the players!
There have been mutters of complaint about this for sometime, as it prevents the chanting from
starting, as any sound from the crowd is totally drowned out by the deafening music.

So far this season,
Ryan Giggs has been
Man United's most impressive player so far.
The bad news is that there is a good chance he will be missing for United's game against
CSKA
Moscow in the
Champions League this Wednesday.
Giggs picked up a minor injury in United's 2-1 win over Bolton at the weekend.

Well that was quite a month, wasn't it? We're already at the end of June, believe it or not, and
it was quite the busy month in the transfers world.
Many pounds and euros have exchanged hands around Europe already, and it's no surprise that the
month ends with a couple more new signings to add to our summer transfer lists.

Now then boys and girls, today we get to put our Tony Adams thinking caps on!!
The Arsenal defence at the minute seems to be a bit of a weak spot in our team..and Sir Wenger
Obe Cbe AFC would seem to agree...
The Arsenal defence conceeded 37 goals in 38 PL games....breaking that down further to 16 at
home and 21 away.

Seems like quite a few newspapers are claiming that Tevez is likely a £22m transfer target for us
this summer. Unlike the last time we tried to prise a player (Heinze) away from Old Traffford, this
time there's nothing ManUtd can do about it, as he's only on loan with them.
Our preferred partnership of Torres & Gerrard, is something which I doubt most Liverpool fans would
want to mess with, which would make Tevez an overpriced backup striker.

Manchester United scramble to get their propaganda in order Hate is a strong word. So strong in
fact that if your star striker uses it in relation to your next opponents and main title rivals
then you had better do some Stalin-esque revisionism pronto. Manchester United had to employ just
such tactics after Wayne Rooney claimed [.

Yesterday i talked about a player, that quite frankly has been a dissapointment so far IMO,
Robinho. You can check out yesterday's post to see my points on this. Today i'd like to pay tribute
to someone who's the complete opposite ....Ryan Giggs
A quick check on Wikipedia reveals the following facts on Giggsy:
- Ryan Joseph Giggs was born Ryan Joseph Wilson on 29 November 1973 in Canton, Cardiff, Wales,
United Kingdom (Wilson was his Dad's surname.
