With all the build up revolving around Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra, this afternoon's early
kick-off between Manchester United and Liverpool lived up to the pre-match hype. Arguably the
spiciest fixture in the Premier League calendar, it was given even more zest before a ball had even
been kicked, when Liverpool's Luis Suarez refused to shake Patrice Evra's extended hand.
Goals:Rooney 47' 50'
Suarez 80'
The worst possible result. Not just a loss, a deserved loss – self-inflicted thanks to a feeble
30 minutes after the restart – but continued, probably increased, focus on the Suarez-Evra
contretemps thanks to each acting like spoiled children.
De Gea, Rafael, Evans, Rio, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, Rooney and Welbeck.

Sir Alex Ferguson has looked ahead to this weekend's game against Chelsea, playing at a ground
which has typically been a difficult place for us to go. Whilst we've beaten them there in the
Champions League, we haven't won in the league at Stamford Bridge since 2002, when Scholes,
Nistelrooy and Solskjaer scored in a 3-0 win.

Liverpool beat Man Utd 2-1 in the FA Cup 4th round on Saturday, thanks to an overdue goal from Dirk
Kuyt in the 88th minute.
Liverpool lined up with a defensive formation with Jamie Carragher in front of a flat back four,
paying too much respect to a United side shorn of players like Vidic, Ferdinand and Rooney.

Atkinson was supposed to be in charge, but pulled out Thursday with a virus.
Sunday's match turned up a lot of heroes and villains for both teams. The match itself went like
most people had predicted; a close encounter that could have gone either way... that is until 75
minutes into the game, when what can only be considered a game changing event occurred. But I'll
get to that later.

Phwoar!
He may be well and truly into the autumnal phase of his career, however, at 36-years-old, David
Beckham still has a craving for footie with a place in Stuart Pearce's Team GB side at the Olympics
top of his to-do list.

Who was your sporting hero growing up?
My hero was Denis Law; as a player I loved Denis Law even though he is only a couple of years
older than me. He epitomised to me everything about a Scotsman. He could start a row in an empty
house, fight his own shadow, unbelievable courage, electric pace, exciting and dynamic to watch –
I always loved Denis as a player.
I was surprised when I read in the morning about Scholes coming out of his retirement and rejoining
United as a player. That made me wonder whether Scholes is the new Henrik Larsson that Sir Alex is
trying to create to see-off an injury crisis at Old Trafford. If you remember, Sir Alex signed
Henrik Larsson on loan from January - March in 2007.

ProsSo, the first pro is fairly obvious - hilarity. It's always funny to watch United lose, especially
in Europe where Fergie's ability to influence referees is less pronounced. The fact that they were
served up one of the easiest CL groups I can remember makes it even funnier.

Molde won their first ever title in their 100 year history this year in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's
first year of management with the club.
However, it wasn't all plain sailing and Solskjaer has today admitted to stealing a line Sir
Alex Ferguson used on Manchester United players in 1996.
Following the 6-3 defeat to Southampton and 5-0 defeat to Newcastle, Ferguson sat his players
down and gave them a talking to.
In the summer of 2006, Wayne Rooney was sent off during the pre-season Amsterdam Tournament for
an innocuous challenge on Pepe, as both players jumped for the ball. It was only a couple of months
earlier that Rooney had been sent off against Portugal in the World Cup and Pepe was prepared to
use this to his advantage.
My affinity toward Landon Donovan is remarkably simple: He's about my height and about my age.
It's enough to create a bond in my brain.
I suppose if I grew up in Europe the success he's found in athletics despite his small stature
might not surprise me quite so. But I didn't, so it does. The kids born across the pond in the
early 1980s had little guys such as Baggio (five-nine) and Scholes (five-seven) to adore after
Johan Cruyff (five-eleven) led the way, but American sporting heroes of the 1990s were larger than
life and simply huge.
Manchester United are on something of a roll this season. Having despatched ‘top' sides
Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea and scoring an astonishing fourteen goals against them in the process,
the current incarnation of United looks absolutely irresistible. The remarkable thing is that on
paper they look significantly weaker than in previous seasons.

‘...and Solskjaer has won it!'
Five words to lift the mood of any United fan. The moment our Norwegian hero stuck his foot out
put the seal on a season we shall never forget. A season peppered with timeless memories of
rapacious cavalier displays that thrilled the world. It is was a campaign rightly remembered for
astonishing attacking feats yet I believe that an essential ingredient to our success has been
routinely overlooked.

Ever since the Premiership was formed back in the early 1990's, there really has been only team
around. Yes, I admit they've had their ups and downs with the hot-headed Ferguson dismissing
anybody who crosses his path like a Scottish Henry VIII (Beckham as Anne Boleyn?) but for a ship to
cruise through unsteady waters there must be a strong captain in control.
Huge day for Stole City as they spent around £20million, including a club-record fee of
£10million for Spurs striker Peter Crouch. In addition to Crouch, Stoke also signed midfielder
Wilson Palacios and forward Cameron Jerome. The Crouch deal could even rise to £12million
dependent on the fulfilment of various clauses.

After weeks of speculation, Stoke City have confirmed that they have signed former Tottenham
striker Peter Crouch. The giant Englishman has long been a target of Stoke boss Tony Pulis, and the
two clubs have announced that they agreed a deal before the close of the summer transfer window
this evening.
United finally knocked Liverpool off their perch last season. Following an endless supply of
trophies under Sir Alex Ferguson, none meant more to United's global legion of fans than their

Tom Cleverley's fine performance in the Community Shield brought lots of enthusiastic comments
from his fellow teammates, including Patrice Evra, who clearly believes that Cleverley might be the
Scholes' heir the Red Devils' are looking for.
Evra is really hoping that Cleverley will get plenty playing times in the new season especially
since the good habit that Man United have in promoting young talents to grow into important players
for the club.

'Twas Paul Scholes' testimonial last night, and the United leg-end was sent merrily on his way
by a sold-out Old Trafford, though not before the he opened the scoring against the Eric
Cantona-helmed New York Cosmos (who boasted Fabio Cannavaro, Patrick Vieira, Brad Friedel, Michel
Salgado and Robbie Keane amongst their number) with a trademark peach from the edge of the area
after only eight minutes.
