We've had to put with all the usual cliches from him how united always finish strongly, how they never do it the easy way, how late goals are in the spirit of manchester united.

Funnily enough there was a guy on here who came up with different predictions all the time. Whenever he was predicting United for the title he'd always mention United finishing strongly and never blowing it.

Now, who was that.

That's right, it was you.

It was mentioned a few times, simply peddling what ferguson says over and over again in the hope it would be wrong.

Another myth, to go with Fergie's superior mind games and the advantage of United's 'experience'.

100% correct, however, absolutely no point trying to explain that to any ABU though. Remember when Dzeko signed for City and in his first press conference he came out with the old "everybody knows everyone in Manchester supports City" line? He'd obviously been read the script before he even boarded the plane.

With regards the 20 Year PL team don't think there can be too many arguments. Schmeichel & the full-backs pick themselves. Don't see any real competition on the wings for CR & Giggs and up front you'd have to go She-Ra & Terry Henry. At Centre Half & Centre Mid you could probably perm 2 from 4/5 in each position. If I was to pick a team to give them a game I'd go with............

Seaman
Dixon
Stam
Terry
????
Pires
Vieira
Zola
Bale
Cantona
Van Nistelrooy

Just goes to show how the top 3/4 have dominated over this period that I'm really struggling to pick players from other teams. I'll have a think and try and come up with my best "non Utd/Arsenal/Chelsea XI".

So it looks like Rio out, Terry in at the Euro's

Also hearing Ruddy of Norwich in and Joe Cole!

Lot of talk going round KK has resigned/ been sacked but nothing confirmed yet.

If he does go, at least it will let Downing claim his first assist of the season
