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.” (™ ® © 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.

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.

Today let’s take a small little break away from the Arsenal game. I know a lot of you ranters on the comment threads are itching for a preview post, and of course the big game in the weekend. But I’ll just do my part in prolonging your agony for a day, if I could.
So let’s take a breather from the Arsenal frenzy for just a while, shall we?

Today should be a good news day as we have only good things to tell. So without too much dilly dallying from my side, let me get on with the roundup.
Owen Hargreaves looks set to feature in the starting XI against Middlesborough. I know we’ve heard this plenty of times in the past month or so, but today it just looks a little convincing.

I am not sure if I should turn this into a preview post already, given tomorrow is the Champions’ League game against Kiev/Kyiv, or retain the roundup nature of your morning weekday posts. But maybe I’ll retain this as a roundup and consolidate team news and actual preview for tomorrow.
So let’s get on with providing you with your daily dose.

Nothing much for the day as international’s and the Euro 2008 qualifiers, in particular, grabbed the headlines. So do we have any news concerning United? No, not really. Well, there is one but even that is just a transfer rumour that refuses to die. Other than that we will go on a slight tangent. Rest assured, today’s post won’t be too long. So read this quick and go about your day jobs. If you don’t you could always sit around refreshing this site, hoping for updates — something which wouldn’t happen till tomorrow, but for the comment section, of course.
Anyway, on to the roundup…

Despite being out of the roundup routine, there is surprising little to talk about today.
Unless you are interested in international friendlies. In which case, Ronaldo (and Nani, albeit as a sub) was involved in a 2-0 win for Portugal over Azerbaijan. Ronaldo made his 50th appearance for his country. Patrice Evra earned a start for France in a 6-0 rout of Faroe Islands. Vidic, Fletcher, O’Shea, Saha, Van der Sar were all injured, so didn’t figure for their respective countries. Also, goalkeepers Artur Boruc (Celtic) and Lukas Fabianski (Arsenal) were preferred over Tomasz Kuszczak — which isn’t bad news for us, is it?
And other than that, there was the England game, which I didn’t get to see much of, but Wayne Rooney had a good game. He finally did score after a while which is good for him. A lot of United websites were quite angry at the treatment meted out to Rooney by the media while Gerrard continues to be a darling of everyone. A lot of that is true to be honest. In fact a lot of United players do face a lot of stick while playing for England. (Remember Beckham?) Scott has a good article, as always, on that. So I’ll save my breath on that issue.

Not too much going on. I will keep this short and return with a more detailed post later in the day to discuss parts of our season so far. So let’s get this done with for now.
