Miracle of Istanbul

Just a little something to get the new season started.

Here is a good video clip commemorating the magic of Istanbul. Thanks to roberts892 for posting it on youtube.






Unfortunately, I had to take down an even better clip by simoanfield, who disallowed embedding. Here though is the video on YouTube.

CAPTAIN FANTASTIC - FOOTBALL WRITERS' ASSOCIATION FOOTBALLER OF THE YEAR

Congrats to Stevie G!

A rather belated nod to our very own Captain Fantastic, who's been in superb form this season.

Sorry Giggsy, you may and should be the most respected footballer for a whole generation - but best player of the year you certainly are not....

A special thanks to FWA for picking someone who actually did play regularly this season....

It's good news to behold, and it certainly takes a little something away from what remains of this season.

Manchester United face Wigan Athletic away this evening on what may well be our last chance to get back into the chase.

I know I said Wigan might yet pull a surprise, away games being what they are (hard to predict), but now I'm not so sure, especially since they don't seem to have much to fight for.

But you never know - and it sure is a better hope rooting for the Mancs to draw their last two than to actually lose them....

Whatever happens though, never give up - Never Walk Alone.
