I think there's every chance he could be a bit like Glenn Hoddle, expecting the players to be as good as he was and berating them when they're not.

And explaining that they'd collectively done something wrong in a past life when they go 3-0 down at half time. :)

Of course they don't have great players, otherwise they would not be where they are?
As you know, Manu is one of the richest clubs in the world, and he's not going rival that overnight or probably ever.
But what he can do in terms of shaking them up,is exactly what they need IMO.

After seeing the video well it ain't as bad as I thought it could be. The way the radio made it out to be it sounded like Thatcher had taken a flying leap shoulder first into Mendes eye socket.

Karma will reward us :)

Cheers mermen. Now the lads in the office know what I've been ranting about. :)

Speaking of Karma. Chelsea are in the same Champions League group as Barcelona again.

I'm not just saying this as a Rangers fan, but Celtic have a terrible, threadbare squad right now. They'll get massacred.

Edit - Group B looks a cracker. Inter, Bayern, Sporting Lisbon and Spartak Moscow.

Jose is funny. "We get knocked out of the CL last 16 last year, the QF 2 years ago and yet we should be seeded ahead of last years finalists and the winners from two years ago because of domestic acheivements." Go figure.

AC Milan are probably trembling in fear awaiting the mighty AEK and Lille :roll: If Bremen make a half arsed attempt Barcalona could be enjoying a UEFA cup run this season, but they dodged a couple of bullets with the last team drawn.

You are? That group has trouble written all over it. No one likes playing in Turkey, PSV are no pushovers and Bordeaux play their best when they can cause big teams problems.

..when you put it like that..... :cry:

There are no easy routes in the CL, so compared to others it could be worse.

I predict that United will hammer Celtic at home, and beat them away.

Then we will go out in the quarter finals. Again.

But it doesn't matter, as we will win the league (only another 36 matches to go - Rooney & Scholes back in 2, Solkjaer scoring - sheesh, I get all gooey just thinking about it :D )

Player/managers - Dalglish at Liverpool has a case, but the best counterexample I can think of is Franz Beckenbauer.
