Some pretty poor efforts so far, to be fair.

This is not great but probably the best of a bad bunch.

To the tune of Stairway To Heaven by Zep.

There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And shes buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and shes buying a stairway to heaven.

Theres a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
Theres a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Dont be alarmed now,
Its just a spring clean for the may queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know,
The pipers calling you to join him,
Dear Evra, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

Ferguson angered by Evra committee QC's allegiance
United manager believes FA should have told club of chairman's Arsenal links
By Ian Herbert
Tuesday, 13 January 2009


Sir Alex Ferguson's increasingly fractious relationship with the Football Association has been set back yet further by his discovery that the chairman of the independent commission which investigated the Patrice Evra affair was an Arsenal season-ticket holder.

Such was Ferguson's indignation at this revelation about Nicholas Stewart QC – whose panel's decision to ban Evra for four matches the United manager described as the worst FA ruling in his experience – that he alluded to it in his programme notes for Sunday's match against Chelsea. In view of the fact that Ferguson's power does have some limits at Old Trafford, the paragraph referring to this was removed from the match programme by United, with the chief executive David Gill the ultimate arbiter on such issues. Gill, an FA executive board member for the 2018 World Cup bid, evidently wanted to draw a line under the row which has raged followed the commission's verdict last month.

Though there is no suggestion that Mr Stewart's football allegiance might have influenced his decision in any way, Ferguson believes that the FA should at least have informed United of them – a view which the club indicated yesterday that it shares, despite the editing of Ferguson's script.

Ferguson has grounds for some indignation where Stewart is concerned, since it was at the QC's behest that the contents of the commission's ruling were made freely available on the FA's website before United were informed, a decision the FA chairman Lord Triesman later admitted was a mistake.

Mr Stewart, who headed a four-man team appointed by the FA to examine the brawl which followed United's match at Stamford Bridge last April, is aware of this latest twist. Though he declined to comment and add further fuel to the fire yesterday, he is understood to be exasperated by the way Ferguson has interpreted things.

Ferguson's response is predictable though, to judge by the way he and United feel about the way the whole Evra scandal was dealt with – and particularly the FA's decision to publish them in full before Evra had decided not to appeal against it.

The 28-page commission report found heavily in favour of Chelsea, claiming that the evidence of Ferguson's fitness coach Tony Strudwick was "exaggerated and unreliable". The commission said Ferguson's assistant, Mike Phelan, "particularly did not impress us" with his allegation that Evra had been racially abused. The statements of Phelan and the United goalkeeping coach Richard Hartis were riddled with inconsistency which "cast serious doubt on the reliability of their overall evidence", it ruled.

United declared Evra's four-match ban as "a very poor decision" and "unduly harsh", but decided not to appeal and instead be bound by the rules of the FA.

The decision to remove a section of his programme notes will surprise many who consider Ferguson to enjoy autocratic power at Old Trafford. Far from it where the notes are concerned. At least two levels of management view them before they reach Gill.

Ferguson still managed to get some of his views on Evra into the programme. "I am shocked by the four-match ban handed out to Patrice following the incident at Stamford Bridge that saw him at odds with one of their groundsman," was all that remained. "It's gone now of course." Evra returned to action on Sunday and supplied the second goal.

telegraph says

Evra did not complete the game after picking up a knock but revealed he will be in contention to start against Wigan on Wednesday, when United will attempt to reduce the gap between them and leaders Liverpool to two points.

“I hope it is just a minor injury,” he said. “I will have tests on it, and we’ll see what they have to say
