Will do so next time Scott, sorry- I didn’t realise that even existed!

Jsos, my apology does not extend to you, I’m afraid. I started this discussion on a few blogs, and no-one else has reprimanded me on a matter of etiquette, and even if it was rude (which I don’t think it was, though perhaps misplaced) it is certainly not your place to castigate me for it. There is no such thing as a vigilante on a blog. I also do not appreciate being insulted as having a “little head”, as you frankly have no idea as to the extent of my intelligence (nor the physical size of my head, I would hope). However I will not get into that, or continue this ridiculous discussion, since it is not the right place.

Perhaps you’d like to talk on the forum?

If people want to have random off topic rants, feel free to start a thread at the RoM forum.

Tom F – there are forums for spewing whatever pops into your little head. Using someone else’s blog as your soapbox to start a completely unrelated discussion is bad manners to say the least.

You’ve got jokes with the claims direct eh? I would think you of all people would understand the etiquette of posting considering your constant presence on here. It’s no use getting at me for someone else’s bad manners. I’d expect you on board for keeping this place on point.

Jsos- what is the big problem with Sam writing an unrelated rant? I know it will kill you to press the ‘page down’ button a few times but I am sure claims direct will help you get the compensation you deserve. Where theres blame kids…

A final against Liverpool in the Champions League would be the mmost exciting and most scary night ofmy Manchester United history. Bring it on.

(if we and they make it).

Screw Henry. Screw the refs. Screw them all. If we concentrate on how we play the game, attack fast and smart, and close down their attack ASAP, then we don’t have to worry about anything.

Looking forward to this, big time… One of the many stand-out memories of the Treble season was the two games in the group stage against Barca – especially the 3-3 at the Nou Camp… That was one of those all-time Champions League classics.. the Yorke-Cole combination for United’s second, Rivaldo’s scissors kick, United getting battered for the first 20 minutes then scoring with our first meaningful attack.. what a game…
Anyway, enough reminiscing, having also watched a fair bit of Spanish footie this season, I think Fergie’s spot on to say that we’ll need to go to the Nou Camp and be positive, because Barca defensively have been between average and woeful this season… it’s our best chance of winning over the two legs – in fact, I reckon if our front four are all firing, we could win both legs… Although I also think Messi could play the role of Rivaldo in that Nov ’98 classic – he is class…
One other small point – following Av Grunt’s comments previously about Chelsea having to play twice in three days, it appears to have gone unnoticed that United have a six-day schedule playing Barca away on the 23rd, Chelsea away at lunchtime on the 26th, then Barca at home on the 29th… three games in six days… and they’re not exactly Wigan at home and Everton away, are they? Still, I’m sure the squad’s good enough and they all seem fit and firing (Balsa Boy excluded, of course), so bring it on…

What do you want him to say? “Man Utd are the best team ever. We are rubbish. there’s no point in even turning up. I thoroughly expect us to lose 10-0″!!??

Henry’s generally a pretty classy guy in his interviews (CL final 2006 excluded), which is always pleasantly surprising and refreshing considering who his magager was!

I think he calls it exactly right. He knows people will call us favourites. he admits that CR is the best player in the world. But he thinks that if Barca play as well as they can then theyre capable of beating aybody. Spot on!

Make no mistake: We’ve got a hard game coming up. I’m sure SAF will be concentrating on his own team and not some insignificant comments made by Thierry Henry.

Most Barça fans would rather see Henry dropped and a front three of Messi, Bojan and Eto’o against United.

Any post that includes the words “Anfield” and “envy” isn’t likely to get much time from me to be honest!

Henry can always pull something magic out of the bag, as can all top quality players – that’s why playing the best teams is so special. I think their defence trying to contain Rooney, Ronaldo etc should have a LOT more to worry about than ours, which has proven to be amongst the best in Europe this term.
