What i'm hoping, comes on for 20 minutes at the weekend and then a nice little recurrence of the injury.

I hope both our best teams play, its going to be a football spectacle...

Everytime I have seen him returning/rushed back from injury he looks awful. Bet he retires by the time he's 30.

Get Neville to do a Reyes on him.

id rather he played tbh.

With Ronaldinho out already our rivals would have been full of excuses if we beat them.

He did £#%&! all against the dippers last season. There's no reason why we shouldn't keep him quiet

Amazingly gifted player but his consitancy levels aren't there yet.

he is amazingly gifted indeed, very accurate description. I believe him to be pretty consistent though - he has carried them this season tbh prior to injury of course. At least we have the Cougar to put the shackles on him.

The cougar will pounce.


Best since Beckham at whipping them in.

Yep, when he was rushed back for the second leg at anfield.

A very special talent none the less - our defense will have to be on top form.

is right

other years (at least since 2001) i've usually felt there were stronger teams in europe (madrid, barca, milan primarily) and that we were the underdogs. this year i genuinely feel that, all things being equal, all teams fit and in form, that we are the class act in europe. bring 'em on. i want to win like we won in '99, beating the best there is, round after round. shame united - barca couldn't be the final
