------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------- [20] Glenda on our defence --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: "United will have the added advantage of having their full squad available. "This will be one of the testing away games they have before the end of the season and they can go into it without the distraction of having to juggle the team. "They have defended well this year - Gary Neville is as good as ever, Nemanja Vidic looks a powerful centre-back while both Patrice Evra and Gabriel Heinze are excellent left backs. Add Paul Scholes to the midfield and there is one powerful team." --------------------------------- [19] Glenda on Wayne --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: "And I have been so taken by the way Wayne Rooney has been playing. He is the jewel in United's crown. "He is a magnificent player but even when it is not his day, he has found a way to contribute to the team in other areas. "Wayne really can make a difference - as he did when he came on against Portsmouth in the FA Cup last week. He won United the tie." --------------------------------- [18] Glenda on Ronaldo --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: "I've rarely seen someone mature as a player like he has over the last year. "He has learned when to do his tricks, when to pass the ball, when to shoot, when to play three-touch football. That could be down to him, his team-mates or the management. I suspect it's a bit of all three. But he has become some player, no question. The more he gets jeered, the better he seems to play." --------------------------------- [17] Glenda on this afternoon --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: "In many ways, facing United is the best thing that could happen. "If it had been a lesser team there would be a different expectation from the fans, a different atmosphere at the ground. But the important thing is the Spurs players have to believe they can win, the mind-set has to be right. "They certainly have enough players to give United problems with the pace of Jermain Defoe and Aaron Lennon. "At the back they are going to need all the defensive resolve of Michael Dawson. He does the same kind of job John Terry does for Chelsea - if there's a tackle to be made, a block to made or a header to be won, it's so often Dawson who's there." --------------------------------- [16] Chance meeting? --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: >From the Suday Mirror: CRISTIANO Ronaldo met Real Madrid officials during his mid-season break in Dubai. Sir Alex Ferguson gave his blessing to the trip after deciding to rest Ronaldo last weekend. But United were shocked to discover - after a Sunday Mirror Sport investigation - that Madrid officials had been staying at the same hotel. Quizzed by United yesterday, Ronaldo insisted it was a chance meeting and that he had bumped into the Real delegation as he was leaving the hotel. But in Spain, sources close to Real Madrid claim that club officials outlined their future plans to Ronaldo and his agent, who was with him. Real's delegation were in Dubai visiting a football academy in the area. There is no suggestion that Ronaldo, who is 22 tomorrow, and Madrid were involved in illegal talks. But the Old Trafford hierarchy are becoming tired by the continued specualation linking their young star with a summer move to the Bernabeu. In Spain Ronaldo is openly named as Real's prime transfer target for the summer. Ronaldo has a desire to play in Spain one day and both Real and Barcelona have made it clear they would be interested in signing him. Ferguson has insisted Ronaldo, who still has more than three years to run on his current contract, is not for sale. Old Traf ford chief executive David Gill has said United would not even sell the Madeira-born ace for a world record £45m. --------------------------------- [15] Jol : I was right about Carrick --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: "I was the only one who said last year that he was a very influential player and now he's making them tick in midfield and they are top of the league." "So hopefully everyone agrees now." "He's functional and never dwells on the ball, he sees space and makes more interceptions than people give him credit for." "He's always in the right place, covering the defence. At our club we do the same things but look different - that's because of him." Out now, and highly recommended, Andy Mitten interviews 11 famous United players for their story --------------------------------- [14] Fergie speaking from experience --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: "Tottenham have got the resources and the history that suggests there shouldn't be a gap that is there at the moment and I think the ambitions of Martin Jol are beyond that. "He's got ambitions to make them better and you can't just do it in one year. You need four or five years really to implement the vision of the club and the development of the team." --------------------------------- [13] Ronaldo's agent had the hairdryer? --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: "It's normal that half the world is asking after Cristiano because every game he is delivering exhibition performances." "Manchester United have repeated their intention not to sell him, and I would do the same if I was a United director. "It's no secret there is interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona. For us, the matter does not exist and what we are negotiating is the renewal of his contract." --------------------------------- [12] Us and Arsenal the entertainers --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: Giggsy: We both play football the right way, yet differently. Our style has always been to get it out wide to the wings to supply the strikers. They play it through the middle more, they dont play with wingers. Rosicky and Hleb both come inside all the time, they dont look to go past their man on the outside. Weve got different methods but they are a good team to watch, and I like Fabregas. Hes a smashing player. Like Ronaldo, for one so young hes fantastically consistent. Neither of them ever seems to have a bad game. --------------------------------- [11] Giggsy on surprises --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: Arsenal beating us 2-1 was a big result for them, and a shock for us. But with the lead weve got, something horrible would have to happen to us to let them, or Liverpool, back in it. --------------------------------- [10] Giggsy on the 2 R's --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: They are mates, genuine mates, says Giggs. They have the same interests in music, watch the same things on TV and get on really well. They are the two pranksters in the dressing room. If shoes go missing or clothes get soaked, its them. They are a bit like Butty and I used to be when we were their age with all the banter and the practical jokes. http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-2051413-10351781 Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2051413-10295995 Have a Free £25 bet on totesport Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news --------------------------------- [9] Giggsy: Scholesy and Ronaldo the difference --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: Theyve been outstanding. Having Scholesy back has been brilliant, restoring strength to the heart of the side. Ronaldo had been expected to move on, after his contretemps with Rooney at the World Cup in July. Instead he stayed, took the abuse on the chin and came out fighting with an Ill show you attitude that has seen him rival Ronaldinho as the best player in the world. What happened in the summer, the sort of publicity it got and the away fans reaction, that sort of thing can sometimes be the making of you. You either buckle under it and leave or show your mettle and let your football do the talking. For such a young man, Cristiano has handled it unbelievably well. The way he is playing and the goals hes scoring have been a major part of our improvement. --------------------------------- [8] Giggsy on stuffing Bolton --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: I dont think theyd conceded a goal at home before that, and we just took them apart. It could have been six or seven before half-time. That first half-hour was the best weve played for years. Its not often you get every player on song, as we were that afternoon. Everything we tried came off. Our attacking play was the best Ive seen for a long time, and it was that day we realised we were the best in the league again. --------------------------------- [7] Giggsy on getting a good start --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: When the manager addressed us in the summer, he said we couldnt afford to let Chelsea establish a lead the way they had the two previous seasons. We had to put them under pressure. Above all, he stressed the need to get off to a good start. We scored five on the opening day (beating Fulham 5-1) and never looked back. It was important not to get paranoid about Chelsea and have them weigh on our minds all the time, so we made a deliberate effort to concentrate only on our own game, to make a good start and build on that. --------------------------------- [6] Giggsy on selling Ruud --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: When you lose somebody who scored so many, and who was such a great player, it does worry you a bit. But when you think about it, whenever weve been successful it has never been down to one mans goals. When weve won the league the burden has been spread around, between the likes of Sparky, Cole, Yorke, Teddy, Ole, myself, Scholesy, Becks, Brucey and of course Eric. Thats what were doing now in the league, with Cristiano (Ronaldo, 14 goals), Wayne (Rooney, 10), Louis Saha (eight), Ole (six), Scholesy (four) and now Henrik Larsson (two). Paul McGrath's Back from the Brink --------------------------------- [5] Giggsy on Fergie pre season --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: He was looking forward to the challenge. Hed seen the foundations for a new team laid last season, when we finished strongly, he knew important players were coming back and hed seen the potential of Patrice and Vids, who he had signed in the transfer window 12 months ago. Putting that all together, he knew wed be better equipped to compete for every trophy this time, not just the Premiership. The feeling in the dressing room was of great confidence. We thought wed have a really good chance, as long as the big players stayed fit. --------------------------------- [4] Giggsy on pre season expectations --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: Maybe outside the club people felt it would be the same story again, but we knew that from midway through last season we were getting better. For a long time the midfield every week had been me and John OShea, which wasnt good enough, but we had Michael Carrick coming in and Scholesy coming back, so we knew we were going to be stronger there. Ole and Gabby were also available again, and those players gave us that extra edge that comes from real competition for places. Having 20 players fit and competing has been the difference this season. Nearly all the time the manager has had 18-20 to pick from, so the lads in the side are looking over their shoulders, thinking, Ive got to play well every week, or else . . . We didnt have that last season. --------------------------------- [3] Jol compares Lennon to Ronaldo --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: 'No. He's younger, he has less experience. Ronaldo, he's scored 12, 13 goals already. Lennon didn't. So, let's be honest. Look at the production: Ronaldo is probably the best in England on the wing. With assists, he's probably been involved in 20 goals. Lennon has probably been involved in five or six. But you have to see how many chances Lennon already has created. He's on his way to being, possibly, like Ronaldo.' --------------------------------- [2] One of Heinze's mates --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: "Gabriel knows Deschamps is interested and he's a great desire to play at Juve. "It's unfortunate the way things have gone at United but a move there will be a good solution." --------------------------------- [1] Deco wants Ronldo at Barca --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, February 4, 2007 by tb: "Cristiano should come to Barcelona. He has a lot of talent and he's very young. But it looks difficult that United will let him go." Manchester United: European Finals --------------------------------- [11] O'Shea on Larsson --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, February 3, 2007 by tb: "You can see from the impact he has had and the goals he has scored already that he is a top-class player and it is a privilege to train and play with him. "He gave the squad a little boost at a good time when difficult games were coming up, and it will be sad to see him go if he does go." --------------------------------- [10] O'Shea on title race --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, February 3, 2007 by tb: "We are just looking at ourselves and we know it is going to be a tough game on Sunday and we have got tough games to come. But with the form we are in we are feeling very positive at the moment. "You know what games are coming up and how difficult they are but we keep thinking after each game that that is another game down. Last time we won the league we went to these places and won these games, and that is what we have to do now." http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2051413-5042808 Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-2051413-10387791 Hotels in Manchester Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news --------------------------------- [9] O'Shea on getting splinters --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, February 3, 2007 by tb: "It is obviously frustrating when you are not playing week in, week out but that is the case when everyone is fit and you are top of the league. The manager has big decisions to make and when you get your chance you have got to take it. "Everyone is chomping at the bit to get into the team. In the last couple of seasons we have had vital players missing for months but this season we have coped with everything that has been thrown at us and you can see we are enjoying it." --------------------------------- [8] Subscribe and Support --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, February 3, 2007 by ed: Order online, or by post, fax, or by phone.

The action includes all Serie A and B matches and Italy's friendly with Romania scheduled for next Wednesday. "I have demanded a stop to all activity of football in Italy," said the Italian football federation commissioner, Luca Pancalli, after an emergency meeting. "Enough is enough. It's a situation that I cannot speak of. To lose your life at 38 is incredible. This is not a sport. The football tournaments will remain suspended until we solve the violence in our football." Rioting fans forced the Catania v Palermo match to be suspended in the 58th minute - with Palermo leading 1-0 - after tear-gas filled the Angelo Massimino stadium. The match restarted after about 30 minutes but the violence continued after the game, which Palermo won 2-1. According to reports the officer, named as Filippo Raciti, died after an explosive device struck him in the face outside the stadium. He was taken to hospital where he died from his injuries. About 100 people were reported to be injured, some seriously, after fighting in the build-up to the game and throughout the evening, and after the final whistle the players and staff were held in the stadium by police while the area was secured. "I am extremely disappointed. Things cannot continue like this," said the Palermo coach, Francesco Guidolin. "We had to go back to the changing rooms because we couldn't breathe. If we cannot get into our heads that football is a sport we cannot live in the world of football." The Palermo president, Maurizio Zamparini, said: "This evening no one has won. We have all lost. These people are not fans but are delinquents that in other countries like England would have been arrested and seriously punished. We need more severe laws." --------------------------------- [5] Spurs defender wants a double --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, February 3, 2007 by tb: Ricardo Rocha: "I have had the pleasure of beating Manchester United in the Champions League - and it would be fantastic to beat them agai." "United were not very good that season, but with mainly the same players they have proved since then that they are a great team." --------------------------------- [4] Fergie on our 'wobble' --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, February 3, 2007 by tb: "I think we've had our blip. West Ham away was our blip. Arsenal, 1-0 up with nine minutes to go, was a blip." "There's no point thinking you're going to get any easy points because that won't happen." "We've got to be ready for the difficult tasks and the challenges. That's what winning the championship is about." --------------------------------- [3] Fergie on Hitzfeld wanting Hargreaves to stay at Bayern --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, February 3, 2007 by tb: "That's possible." "Everyone has their own ambition to improve their club. Particularly when a new manager comes in they will give him the support needed. "Because it is Ottmar Hitzfeld and he had great experience with Bayern in the past they will obviously listen to him. So it is an obvious worry for us." --------------------------------- [2] Fergie on Rio --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, February 3, 2007 by tb: "I don't think there is any doubt he has always had a fantastic talent with balance and use of the ball, and his technique for a centre-back is probably the best in the game. The area in which he has improved in is his concentration." "He and Vidic have formed a good partnership and it will get better because they are young. "I think I rested him for one game and I don't think the number of games will affect him. He is a strong athlete and I have been delighted with him." --------------------------------- [1] Jol misses Carrick --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, February 3, 2007 by tb: "We've realised we miss Michael Carrick. His biggest quality was to move play from defence to attack and win the ball. Because of him, other players played better. "Tom Huddlestone has that quality but he has just turned 20 and he still has to make the next stage in his development." http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-2051413-10351781 Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2051413-10295995 Have a Free £25 bet on totesport Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news --------------------------------- [33] Evra on Ronaldo transfer rumours --------------------------------- Posted Friday, February 2, 2007 by ed: "Any agent asking for a transfer request for Cristiano Ronaldo would have to come with a bazooka. Sir Alex Ferguson would know exactly how to welcome him. Protective equipment would be needed before going into the manager's office." --------------------------------- [32] Ronaldo on title race --------------------------------- Posted Friday, February 2, 2007 by ed: "If we had won against Arsenal, then the race for the title would have been between us and Chelsea. But Liverpool are coming strong and Arsenal are coming on as well it is going to be a very difficult race." --------------------------------- [31] John Terry --------------------------------- Posted Friday, February 2, 2007 by ed: "We've got to make up six points on Manchester United in 13 games - seven really to go ahead. What that means is that we've just got to go on winning games because we can't really afford to lose points. If we do go on winning games, they can't afford to lose points. The race is on. We're in the final of the Carling Cup. We entered the competition to win it and that's still what we intend to do. We're in the fifth round of the FA Cup and we've been drawn at home against lower-league opposition. If we are not lazy or arrogant or stupid, or extremely unlucky, we ought to go into the quarter-finals." --------------------------------- [30] Fergie baffled by Liverpool move --------------------------------- Posted Friday, February 2, 2007 by ed: "[Liverpool] got Mascherano and I don't know how they managed that. They got him on a sort of loan basis and I don't know how it's happened. The only thing I can think is that because Brazil's season is different from ours, it is because of that, which is strange.'' http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-795737-10379645 Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-795737-10380073 Dorm rooms to dreams rooms from just £7 per night Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news --------------------------------- [29] Fergie praise for Carrick --------------------------------- Posted Friday, February 2, 2007 by ed: "I thought Carrick ran the show for us on Wednesday night and he was brilliant against Arsenal. I think he has settled in and he has improved physically as the season has gone on. We have seen that development in the lad and we probably expected that anyway because as a kid at West Ham he was a rakish and lanky young man and you know when you see a player like that he will develop physically. He is exactly like that and now we are seeing a player who has come to good age and showed good maturity and he is an absolutely sensational passer of the ball. He creates chances and gives us opportunities and that is why we bought him.'' --------------------------------- [28] Fergie on away games --------------------------------- Posted Friday, February 2, 2007 by ed: "We probably have harder away games than Chelsea and we have to acquit ourselves properly in these matches. Analysing all the games is pointless really. We have got a tough game on Sunday and if we get through that it is one more up the road.'' --------------------------------- [27] PA on Spurs --------------------------------- Posted Friday, February 2, 2007 by ed: Tottenham skipper Ledley King has been ruled out for another six to eight weeks with his bruised foot and will miss Sunday's Barclays Premiership clash against Manchester United. Aaron Lennon was ruled out of the midweek defeat to Arsenal through illness but is fit, and Dimitar Berbatov could return following a groin injury. Jermaine Jenas has picked up a knock to his ankle but it expected to be fit, while Teemu Tainio (throat infection) is still ruled out and Mido is suspended. Provisional squad: Robinson, Cerny, Alnwick, Chimbonda, Lee, Assou-Ekotto, Dawson, Gardner, Rocha, Lennon, Ghaly, Malbranque, Huddlestone, Zokora, Jenas, Keane, Berbatov, Defoe, Murphy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For United books, videos, DVDs etc http://www.rednews.co.uk/ama.php?id=amazon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For the very latest news check out the website: http://www.rednews.co.uk Yahoo!
