Paul Scholes looks set to return for the FA Cup game against Tottenham. He should make it to the substitutes bench at least. The manager has all reason to be optimistic about his return. “I still think we will get three more years out of Scholes because he comes back from injuries very well”, he says.

Oh yes. It’s very clear how desperate Real are to get Ronaldo, and this time it is with his mom. She spoke to AS — which, of course, has been ridiculed for it’s Madrid bias in the past — and said that she would like to see him play for Madrid before she dies.
These rumours, of agents and clubs talking about players, do wear you down but something like this can only make you go ‘What the Fuck!’ Coarse as that may sound, it does express the emotion quite clearly and succinctly.

Louis Saha reckons he will help fire United to glory. He has said something like this for the 789th time this season. We have been waiting, and we’ll continue to wait. So let’s listen to what he’s saying:
It’s great to score goals. I’m a striker and that’s my job and now I want to concentrate on scoring more goals for the team. I’m very hard on myself and always want to do better, so I’m not very satisfied with how the season has gone so far on a personal level. I know I can do better, and hopefully I showed that against Sunderland. The manager’s always shown a lot of faith in me and that gives me a lot of confidence. I’m definitely getting there [with overcoming injuries]. I played two full games in a row over Christmas and that was the first time I’d done that for a while.
And I am going to run for President, I assure you. I have seen the injustices committed in this world and I believe I can turn things around. And I am also, like Saha, getting there.

Lots of things to talk about today, so we’ll get into it straightaway without the usual waffle.
The Sun is reporting that Fergie will be prepared to offer 12 million pounds for the Dutch hitman. The surprisingly low value placed on the striker is apparently due to Ajax’s financial troubles. The Telegraph has also picked up the story, linking to the Sun article.
If this were to be true, it would be a steal (and a gamble worth taking). Fergie has been a known admirer of the striker and the price tag would certainly tempt him. Especially given his age and the ridiculous value placed on Berbatov.
However, one would have to stop and think for a while on the bearing it could have on our frontline — Tevez and Rooney have proved to be a killer combination.

Captain Neville returned to action, finally, in a reserve game against Everton reserves yesterday. And guess what, he scored!
He played 45 minutes without too much trouble. One hopes his run out does no damage to him this time. It’s good to see Neville return and hopefully, he should be back to first team action before long. A bench role against Newcastle may be far fetched, but he should be able to make it back to first team action towards the end of January if he makes good progress from now on.

Easter Island Head, better known as EIH or Mikael Silvestre, has been forgotten for a while. That his absence has coincided with one of our meanest defensive records is not a… umm… coincidence. Hence we could be forgiven for forgetting the Frenchman. My heart beats less vigourously now than it used to when he used to have the ball at his feet.
In seriousness though, he is a decent squad player to have and his experience is decent enough for us to get through games during the latter half of the season. Long term, however, his place is always going to be in doubt. SAF does seem to have faith in him, going by his contract renewals. And EIH himself, seems to be a determined person, always looking to fight his way back into first team reckoning; the presence of outstanding centre backs and a brilliant left back, of course, makes his life that much more difficult.

Hello everyone. There has been a lack of the usual daily roundups here so let’s get on with it.
But before moving on though, a little clarification on the rumours doing the rounds on this site. I am not married, nor have I ever been married in my lifetime. I also don’t intend on getting married anytime soon. Sorry to disappoint. Of course, thanks to Ahmed — our own resident rumour monger — people have actually begun believing things. Don’t fret, I will get back at Ahmed soon enough. 
He would have to be afraid. Very afraid! I do thank the good wishes though. The intent is appreciated.
And one more thing: The reason for the slackness witnessed in this site’s posting frequency is also due to the fact that I have been on vacation for a month. It is a long vacation indeed; since mid-December and it will go on till mid-January. And during this vacation there are short jaunts between places that would make it impossible to update the site. Hence the irregularity. Inconveniences are regretted, deeply. Although, I guess, Scott’s blog, during this period has gone on overdrive, with some really good articles, so your daily dose of United news and opinion is never lost. I would hope.
Anyway, back to United related stuff.

Another good morning, all.
Not much happening around. There was the Carling Cup where Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and some other team, that I am unable to recall, managed to progress. But who cares about the Carling Cup anyway!
