International breaks sometimes affect teams as soon as they are over. Especially, if you're a
team like Manchester United and boast many international stars such as, say, Rooney or a Vidic and
maybe even a Fletcher. Because it was the latter who set the standards in this highly comprehensive
victory, with a stunning strike that sent the Stretford End erupting.

Before yesterday's game against
Everton, I wasn't quite sure of what we were going to see.
Man United don't tend to be at their best after International games but there was nothing to
worry about. Man United eased to a comfortable 3-0 win over Everton and it could have been more
than that.

Ne İnönü'yü kaplayan sis tabakası, ne rezil derecedeki hakem performansı ne de LigTV'nin
rezil maç yayıncılığı hakkında fazla yazmayacağım. İbrahim Üzülmez'in içine Ryan
Giggs'in kaçtığı bir maç olarak uzun bir süre hafızalarda kalacak, İbrahim Üzülmez 30
yıl sonra torunlarına sadece sağ ayağıyla gol attığı Galatasaray maçını anlatmak zorunda

Another international break has ended finally giving United the opportunity to avenge the 1-0
defeat against Chelsea. Willing victims, Everton, line up at Old Trafford in the day's late
kick-off, with Sir Alex Ferguson's touchline ban not set to begin until after the match; he will
surely demand a victory before he takes his seat in the stands.

In the wake of Ireland's heartbreaking aggregate defeat to France, where Thierry Henry's
handballed assist for William Gallas to score an equaliser in extra time denied a team who had
performed magnificently to haul themselves level, we pay tribute to five of the greatest
footballing heartbreakers in recent memory.

After years of waiting for a promising young player to develop, Wales have perhaps discovered
that young players, just like buses, often come all at once. Their 3-0 victory over Scotland was
ample demonstration of the burgeoning potential of players coming through for the Welsh, and while
there is a long way to go, as with any journey, the hope must be that Saturday can be a starting
point for something special.

Dirty Tackle 17 November @ 04:25 AM EST
Manchester United having already bucked the Premier League trend by raising ticket prices this
season and selling Cristiano Ronaldo for more money than actually exists in the world are now
taking somewhat odd cost-cutting measures, according to The Sun. In addition to logical
reductions like trimming the staff at MUTV, the club are also apparently forbidding groundsmen at
their training ground from taking any left-over bread for morning toast and the former players who
act as hosts at Old Trafford can no longer take up seats to watch the game, nor can they eat the
left-over food put out for guests, instead being given packed sandwiches.

With the international break nearly over, the excitement of the Premier League will be back with us
and Manchester United will be looking to get back to winning ways against Everton at Old Trafford
at the weekend.
Following the Chelsea defeat I began thinking about what the best Manchester United eleven
actually is?

"It will be Rooney. I think Rooney is ready to be a captain. Why not?"
Fabio Capello is a pretty bright chap.
"There was never any doubt that I would play for Wales, my family wouldn't have let me play
for England! It would not have tempted the young Ryan Giggs it was never an issue for me.

Manchester United have been very good at producing youngsters, with a very long line of players
such as Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Darren Fletcher. Even more recently, other
examples are Danny Welbeck, Jonny Evans and Darren Gibson. Here. we look at some of the other
players who have the potential to rise from the academy reserve sides, and though some mentioned
are not British like the players mentioned above, they can still become big Manchester United
stars.

Is there any truth in the Rooney rumour?
The rumour mills, as always, have been in full swing in the last couple of weeks with the latest
one being that Barcelona are set to launch a swoop next summer to make Wayne Rooney the most
expensive player in the world with an £85 million bid which would beat the current record held by
Cristiano Ronaldo, but is there any truth in the rumour and would he move to Barcelona?

It's human nature for us to take things for granted. When they're taken away from us, we moan
and complain. But while we have them, we often don't appreciate these things as much as we
should.
The same goes for footballers and football managers. Years from now, we'll look back and talk
incessantly about "the good 'ol days" when so and so was in the Premier League.

Red Rants 12 November @ 03:22 AM EST
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.

"Look at Nani - his free kick goes right into the wall, again!"
It's been all doom
and gloom for Liverpool over the past few weeks - the losses keep mounting, as do the injuries -
and the club finds itself in its most precarious state in years.
On the other hand, Chelsea are being touted as "Champions" before we've even hit December, and with
over six months of football still to be played, it seems as if journalists, bloggers, and pundits
alike are claiming that The Blues have what it takes to win it all.

Was Wes Brown fouled by Drogba?
Manchester United should feel hard done by. A fine display and they are right to feel
aggravated. Jonny Evans and Wes Brown were terrific while Darren Fletcher was United's best player,
but it wasn't to be their day, as John Terry's header deep in the second half was enough to send
Chelsea five points clear.

Just before the game yesterday between
Man United and
Chelsea, when the team news
came through and there was no Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic or Dimitar Berbatov in the starting
line-up, I was worried. We were going to Stamford Bridge without three of our main players but at
the end of the game, I was disappointed for a totally different reason.

Chelsea scored the only goal of the match as they defeated former Champions Manchester United in a
much awaited clash of the Premier League last night. John Terry was the scorer as he connected
Frank Lampard's free kick in the second half to win 1-0. With this win, Chelsea have strengthened
their reign at the top [.

It doesn't matter whether the night before I drank the local dry or was tucked up by ten o'clock

Man United and
Chelsea have been the top two teams in the
Premier League over
the past few seasons, tomorrow they go head-to-head at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea is the on form team
and they will be very dangerous, especially up front tomorrow. Man United on the other hand haven't
been in the best of form and are looking shaky, especially at the back.

Wayne Rooney may be a legend to some already, but on paper and in the history books he is
overshadowed by names such as Ryan Giggs, Bobby Charlton, Jack Rowley and George Best.
Giggs, 34, is the most decorated player in the Premier League's history and tops the club's
appearance charts having played in an amazing 816 (and counting) matches for the club in a career
spanning nearly 20 years.

After eleven league games it looks as if Chelsea and Manchester United will be the two sides
battling for the title through the course of the season. Liverpool look to be all but out of it
already, questions still remain as to whether Arsenal can maintain their form throughout the
campaign and Man City have lost ground following a run of draws.

Wayne Rooney has again reiterated his love for our club, claiming he wants to spend the rest of
his career here and hopefully get somewhere near Ryan Giggs' appearance record.
"I have always said I would love to end my career at this club," said Rooney. "If I
can get anywhere near what Ryan has done it would be an amazing achievement because I regard him as
the perfect role model.

Manchester United booked its passage to the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League in
dramatic and somewhat embarrassing fashion. If a side like CSKA Moscow can come to Old Trafford and
score goals in the manner they did, I don't think the Special One at Inter Milan or Barcelona's Pep
Guardiola will be having sleepless nights worrying about United's threat to their title hopes.

Tonight with a win,
Man United could qualify for the next stage of the

his wife giving birth to their first child yesterday.

After the effective, if not inspiring, performance of the second string in the Carling Cup
earlier in the week, normal service resumes this weekend as United face Blackburn in the Premier
League.
Rovers enjoyed a relatively safe passage into the quarter finals of that competition that none
of the big guns tend to take very seriously the League Cup themselves on Tuesday night although
Saturday should prove a much tougher hurdle for Sam Allardyce and his swine flu-hit charges to
negotiate.
