Nemanja Vidić and wifey Ana are celebrating the birth of their third child another son! named Petar. Mum and son are said to be doing just fine whilst enjoying their stay in the newly refurbished maternity ward at Wythenshawe Hospital.

We don't know exactly when the new bubba was born or what his height, weight and footballing potential was at birth but as soon as we find out, we'll pass the news on to you all.

Forget Lionel Messi, it was all about Homare Sawa's kimono (traditional Japanese costume) at the FIFA Ballon D'or awards in Zurich last night! The captain of the Japanese women's team and winner of the FIFA Women's Ballon d'Or lit up the stage with that outfit which should make her countrymen and women extremely proud today.

When we're not cleaning Oreos out of our couches or populating the blogosphere with nonsense, we're stalking Nemanja and Ana Vidic.

Fresh off his international retirement announcement, Nemanja Vidic will have more time on his hands. To do what besides oil his hot robot self?

Well, change his soon-to-be-third-baby's diapers, perhaps.

Please remember that when switching on a hot robot, stand well back and be prepared to run like hell if he wakes up grumpy. He looks fluffy enough here, but he could backfire at any moment. Image: REUTERS/Bogdan Cristel.

Serbia national team captain, Nemanja Vidić, has announced his retirement from international football, effective immediately.

In The Stands sticks two fingers up at UEFA licences and brings you the best of Tuesday's Champions League action with Manchester United's 2-0 win over Otelul Galati. Wayne Rooney proved decisive as he netted two second half penalties for Sir Alex Ferguson's men who also had defender Nemanja Vidic sent-off for crude lunge.

Manchester United midfielder Anderson acknowledges that tonight's encounter with Benfica could be the most difficult fixture for Sir Alex Ferguson's men thus far in the season.

Anderson rose to prominence during an impressive stint with FC Porto and although a reunion with former rivals Benfica excites the Brazilian, he understands that the Portuguese outfit has strengthened ever since his departure for Old Trafford in 2007.

With the emergence of Phil Jones, will Rio Ferdinand have to get used to being a squad player for club and country?

Rio Ferdinand's England place might not be the only cause for concern for the Manchester United defender as he faces up to the prospect of no longer being an automatic pick for his club.

"Nemanja, wooah, Nemanja, wooah, he comes from Serbia, he'll fucking murder ya!" is the song you'll hear loudly whenever Vidic goes in hard on a player. Vidic seems to play without fear and will put his head, body (or arm) in the way of anything to protect the goal.

Speaking with CNN World Sport, Vidic has shrugged off talk of him being a hard man, claiming the song helps his reputation, but is aware of how tough you have to be to succeed in this league.

LANDOVER, MD. - Falling to FC Barcelona in May's Champions League final surely still stings for Manchester United, but the Red Devils exacted a small dose revenge against their European rival on Saturday, wrapping up an unbeaten U.

The Red Devils have already signed 3 players since the transfer window opened at the end of the last Premier League campaign.

Phil Jones was their first signing for £16 million from Blackburn and he joined on a five-year deal.

Many fans have doubts as to whether Phil Jones is up to the high-standards that The Red Devils have adopted over the years.

Manchester United has released the travel roster for their upcoming U.S. tour which, of course, includes a match against the Seattle Sounders on July 20. Among the players that will be making the trip are Javier Hernandez (Chicharito), Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Young, Nani, Ji-Sung Park, Michael Carrick and Ryan Giggs.

Just as in Rome two years ago, Barcelona were too good once again for Manchester United as they won 3-1 to claim their fourth European crown.

Barcelona were a class above Man United tonight, taking the lead through Pedro Rodríguez and responding to Wayne Rooney's equaliser with two superb second-half strikes from Lionel Messi and David Villa.

In the build up for the upcoming Champions League final between Barcelona against Manchester United, next Saturday, May 29, the Spanish side seems to get plenty of favor from many neutrals due to the quality of their players and style of football, this kind of condition doesn't worry United's Nemanja Vidic.

MANCHESTER, England Javier Hernandez has capped a phenomenal debut season for United by scooping the prestigious Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year Award. The accolade is voted for by fans across the world on the club's official websites and honours United's best player in the 2010/11 campaign. Chicharito, who has scored 20 goals [.

During the post-match departure parade from Old Trafford this weekend, Manchester United's Fabio da Silva was seen with a prettyin pink, corkscrew curly cutie in tow. Although this da Silva twin was barely legal when he married his wife, Barbara (he was 18-years-old; she, 17), as far as we're concerned, the couple has no kids.

Last night's announcement that Gareth Bale has been named PFA Player of the Year was not a great surprise to many. Bale fought off competition from the likes of Charlie Adam, Rafael van der Vaart, Carlos Tevez and Nemanja Vidic to scoop the prestigious award, voted for the highest proportion of his fellow professionals.

The PFA Player of the Year 2011 ( 2010/11) winner has been announced, and the award has gone to Tottenham Hotspur's Gareth Bale, who beat off competition from Charlie Adam, Samir Nasri, Scott Parker, Carlos Tevez, Rafael van der Vaart and Nemanja Vidic to win the tournament. Bale is the fourth Welshman to win after [.

Manchester United took a big step towards a Champions League semi-final berthafter Wayne Rooney's first-half strike gave them a priceless away goal against Chelsea.

Neither side were able to hit their usual stride in the early stages, and it was nearly 20 minutes before the first chance fell to Didier Drogba, whose rasping shot from inside the area was turned over the top by Edwin van der Sar.

Arsenal host Barcelona in the Champions League this Wednesday, hopeful their improvement as a team can make up for a chastening experience in the same competition last year.

Kept in the tie by Manuel Almunia and a rousing first-leg comeback, Arsenal were embarrassed by their esteemed opponents at the Nou Camp, losing 6-3 on aggregate, but will go into the game believing that, despite the improvements Barca have made, they are a closer match this time round.

Manchester United beat Aston Villa 3-1 to stay five points clear of Arsenal, who won 2-1 against Everton, at the top of the Premier League.

Wayne Rooney had scored just one league goal from open play prior to his first-minute strike against Villa. The England striker controlled Edwin van der Sar's clearance with delightful ease before rattling in a dipping shot.

A first half double from Wayne Rooney ensured United remain unbeaten for the season in the EPL, as United put Villa to the sword at Old Trafford tonight.

Villa pulled one back in the second half courtesy of a close range Darren Bent strike before Nemanja Vidic secured the points for United 5 minutes later.

Getting into final day in the transfer market, Premier League clubs made some surprising record breaking deal that no one would actually expect could happen this season.

Among the teams that reinforced heavily this January, Chelsea are practically the one that made the headline with the sensational swoop they made for Fernando Torres and David Luiz.

LIVERPOOL/NEWCASTLE Andy Carroll last night launched a scathing attack on Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley for selling him against his wishes to Liverpool for £35m in the most extraordinary transfer deadline day in memory. The England striker said that he had been "pushed out the door" by Ashley whose chairman Derek Llambias negotiated a [.

ROTTERDAM The agony of Feyenoord Rotterdam does not end. Today, a new chapter was added to the story of the declining club. Three days after the hopeless 2-0 defeat at Ajax, the fans saw De Graafschap was too strong: 0-1. "Shame on you, shame on you', rolled it from the angry stands. The only [...]

Ruud van Nistelrooy has revealed that he has apologised to Sir Alex Ferguson for the way he behaved after not playing in the League Cup final of 2006.

Louis Saha was in the in form striker and the highest scorer in the League Cup that season, meaning Ruud started the game from the bench. Sir Alex opted to bring on new signings Patrice Evra and Nemanja Vidic to give them a taste of success so early in their United careers, as well as youngster Kieran Richardson, so he could win his first trophy with the club.

Before Manchester United FC visited Tottenham Hotspur FC this past weekend, the Spurs manager Harry Redknapp was eager to point out that his team now had players whom his counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson "would love at Old Trafford".
That may be the case with some individuals in a Tottenham side whose free-scoring form in UEFA Champions League Group A (18 goals) contrasted with United's own sparsity of goals in the competition before Christmas – their tally of seven constituting their third-lowest in 16 seasons of group-stage competition.
