Take A Reality Check...
the lot of you! Liverpool and Arsenal supporters. We lost - so what! At least our trophy cabinet needs opened this season - yours doesn't! A truely poor performance in Rome saw United lose out on their bid for back to back European Cups. Barcelona won the game 2-0 thanks to goals from Eto'o and Messi. United didn't turn up. A bad day for the lads. Just like a boxer who took a right hook on the chin - they never recovered after the early goal. I can live with it - World Club Champions, Carling Cup Winners and the most important for me, Barclays Premier League Champions - yes, the trophy cabinet is well worth looking at once again for United fans. Take a well earned break lads and come back even hungrier in August once again. Barcelona 2-0 United.

Manchester United Crowned Champions Again
Manchester United wrapped up a record-equalling 18th league title on Saturday. A goalless draw against Arsenal was all Sir Alex’s men needed to claim their third league title in a row, which puts them level with the Dippers in terms of titles won. A fairly low key game saw United get the point they needed and the celebrations were a joy to behold in the Theatre of Dreams. Well done to the lads, even though these last few months a few more grey hairs have appeared watched the Red Devils. United 0-0 Arsenal.

In The Driving Seat
United played very well in the CL Semi-final first leg last night winning the game 1-0. There is some frustration in the fact that there should have been three or four goals scored but... we will know next Tuesday if this was a good result or not. Nice goal by my player of the season Johnny Boy O'Shea. United 1-0 Arsenal

Advantage Thrown Away
Another iffy performance last night against FC Porto in the CL. While playing so poorly a 2-1 lead would have been brilliant for the return leg but we conceded with a couple of minutes to go - anyway all is not lost and a squeaky 2-1 win will do us in Portugal!! United 2-2 FC Porto.

Mour Success For United
By hook or by crook, United are through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Goals from Manja and Ronny carried the Reds past the Jose Mourinho's Serie A champions at Old Trafford, as the visitors spurned a host of first-half opportunities and struck the woodwork twice. A slightly below par performance sends the lads through to the draw on Friday week - should be very interesting!
United 2-0 Inter (2-0 Agg)

Brilliant César Keeps United At Bay
The Champions League bandwagon is back on the road again after the group stages finished in December. United played well and indeed should have scored a couple at least in the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. There is so much emphasis placed on the away goal in these knock-out stages but I still think if you win your home game (as you should) the tie should be yours. I think with a few tactical changes to the team such as Vidic back, Scholes and Rooney starting then we will win at OT in two weeks time. Internazionale 0-0 United.
