Here’s a post that has now become irrelevant given its delay in appearing earlier. Plenty has already been said about it but I will do the needful and get the report out of the way. But honestly, it won’t be too long drawn.
United played Dynamo Kyiv (Kiev, depending on which broadsheet you have been reading) at home needing a win, and a favour from Roma to ensure qualification to the next round of the Champions’ League. There was enormous optimism prior to this game (or, should we say, arrogance?) going by the prediction of this blogger in the preview.
As expected we brushed aside the team in what turned out rather ridiculous and questioned the very essence of the Champions’ League; especially Platini’s earlier plans of getting more East European sides into the competition.

I will keep this post short. I really have to. It’s been a tight little day, work-wise, although that shouldn’t prevent me from watching the match today.
Anyway, let’s quickly go over the preview of today’s game and some other random bits and bobs worth pondering about.

Today we start off with some quotes from the boss, who has now rediscovered his rage of old. We all know his tirade against Howard Webb, which we thought was a tad unfair. But now he’s also had opinions on some other issues that dog the footballing world, and the Premier League in particular, voiced out loud and clear.

Now that the “Greatest Game in the World. Ever.” (â„¢ ® © Skysports) is over and well talked about, it is time to bask in the deathly silence that has followed. Yes, dear friends, it’s that time when there isn’t really anything newsworthy to talk about. But as it is necessary we will go about discussing some of the more prominent ones that caught our eye.
Of course, I haven’t forgotten that we have the small matter of playing Kiev in midweek, Wednesday to be precise. But we will get to that in due course. Hopefully we can get over the gut-wrenching draw at Arsenal and cane the Ukranian team in retaliation. A 7-0 would probably do. But then I would be asking a little too much.

There is a reason why I take a while before posting a match report. It certainly is belated as I am sure, by now, reams of papers might have been written discussing the happenings on the pitch yesterday in the top of the table clash.
It’s all simple, really. Had I written this yesterday I might have said tons of things that I might regret sometime in the future. It is alright to rant your mouths off. But a little restraint always helps, doesn’t it? Although I wonder if I would have ever managed to write anything yesterday given the mood I was in. But I digress. So where was I? Ah yes! Football Manager 2008 The match report!

A very good morning to you all, depending on where you are reading this from. Today, Arsenal host Man Utd at the Emirates Stadium in a lunch time kick off. I know, this lunch time thing is not quite so popular with many fans in the UK. But again, with a game like this there wouldn’t be too many complaints. The atmosphere would be as intense as it has always been.
Then again, depending on which part of the world you are the timing would be either perfect or would be downright uncomfortable.
We stop digressing and move on to the main topic of the day, which is Football Manager 2008 the Arsenal game.

Morning all. Another day goes as we build up towards the clash against Arsenal. Today we thought we could let in an Arsenal fan’s view about his team and thoughts ahead of the match. So I happened to catch up with Arseblogger of Arseblog, who is among the who’s who as far as Arsenal blogs go.
He was gracious enough to set apart some time for agreeing to an interview and answered my questions. Thanks Arseblogger.
So read on to see views from the other side.

In the build up to the Arsenal game there remains, in the midst of all the heated discussions we’ve had, a few key components of our team.
So today is about them. Well, Carrick has been discussed by many of you, fellow readers, but it is still worth mentioning on the site, once more.
Anyway, today marks the day where Neville, hopefully, ends his two week absence from full fitness routine and gets some playing time. For the reserves, of course.
