I woke up cheerful today, as is normally the case on most Saturday's, especially on Saturday's when
we're playing at home. My smile quickly turned into a miserable frown and my joy evolved, faster
than than any Richard Dawkin's book, into disgust as I read that Chelsea are now allowed to trade
within January's transfer window after the Court of Arbitration in Sport (CAS) postponed the FIFA
imposed ban until it (CAS) has heard the club's appeal.

One of the players playing extremely well at the moment is Genoa fantasista Raffaele
Palladino. Palladino has always been a player that could do things with the ball that
others could only dream of doing, but he never had the consistency to show that talent at a high
level.

Tomorrow sees us take on Sunderland at home in what has now become a massive match. Steve Bruce has
taken them to the next level, although they're a sort of Jackal and Hyde side as they're nowhere
near as good on their travels as they are when playing at home. Sound familiar?
The good news is that Jones won't be bullying King and Woodgate, but we'll still have Darren Bent
to worry about.

department.
"I am happy with the squad. The only area we are short of a body is central midfield", said Harry,
in preparation for the January sales.
Thank the lord! The only hurdle that I can see us falling on is that teams rarely give away their
best players in winter transfer window.

If English giants and 2005 winners Liverpool lose to Lyon in France on Wednesday night their
Champions League dreams could be all but over. Should Fiorentina beat Hungarian outfit Debrecen
(a very likely occurrence) Liverpool will be six points adrift with just two games left.
It makes for grim reading for the Anfield faithful, with their Premier League title hopes in
tatters the Champions League represents a great chance for them to pick up some silverware and an
exit in the group stages is virtually unthinkable.

So another decent performance sees United secure all three points at Old Trafford. Overall, I
was pleased with the result, but still found a few things troubling. The inability of our three
main strikers to score consistently when given the opportunity is slightly worrying, but Obertan's
EPL debut coupled with Berba's world class finish left me as happy as could be.

As a Manchester United fan Saturday's 2-0 win over Blackburn represented much more than just
three points. Not only did Dimitar Berbatov score yet another sensational goal, but young French
winger Gabriel Obertan made his Premier League debut. Obertan impressed midweek in the Carling Cup
against Barnsley, but seeing him against Premiership opposition just meant that much more.
