I saw United beat Panathanaikos 5-0 at Old Trafford, and I was high up in the North East stand. Stick insects, I tell you, stick insects. Thank God for Sky.

That's why the Millenium is so odd. I've no idea how they get 70k people into it - it looks miles smaller than St.James' (although admittedly we would have 80k if all the sides were the same). I was a bit more than half way up and still had a fantastic view.

Bloody hellfire. Sounds like there's some cracking games tonight.

For those keeping score :

Man Utd and Arsenal players sold to Real Madrid : 0 goals and 0 points.
Arsenal players sold to Juventus then sold to Inter Milan : 1 red card and 0 points.
Man Utd and Arsenal players : 5 goals and 6 points.

OK, enough is enough. Leeds get tonked 3-0 at home to Blunderland, and we are now sat 22nd in the league.

Mr. Blackwell, our fat twat of a manager has to go. What an absolute disgrace. His argument? We can't just go out and buy players apparently. He says this after spending more than Watford and Reading in the last 2 years.

Shame on you Blackwell. SHAME ON YOU.

That's because Arsenal don't play British players. The team against Boro last week was all foreign players.

Well Newcastle have virtually a home grown defence (if we include the Republic) and we all know how good they are. Give me Arsenals bunch of foreigners any day.

Half time, we're 1-0 up and playing some decent stuff.

Martins looks like lightening, has had a few good attempts and Sibierski is causing a few problems in the air. And as a bonus Bramble is off injured.

I just hope Martins scores to stop the arsehole commentators saying he could do with a goal. He's only played 2 games FFS.

Aye, I wouldn't be worried. Martins is class.

It took our Benji about 15 games to score a goal, and he finished with 1 goal in 16 games. This season he already has 2 goals in 5 games. And it seems every other time we have an attacking move he's the one giving everything to make it happen.

Hah I thought for a minute Spurs were wearing a 70's Coventry style chocolate brown strip.

Oh wait they are

Could be worse. They could've worn what Newcastle was wearing. That was just awful.

Relieved facial expressions?
