--------------------------------- [13] Claudio Lopez: JSV happy with Lazio interest --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, April 27, 2002 by tb: "At the time he was in Rome, Veron slept in my house and he has great memories of Rome. He is very happy that Lazio are again interested in him," --------------------------------- [12] Giggsy: Arse better than us --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, April 27, 2002 by tb: 'Arsenal, definitely, even though they're our football rivals, as a football fan it's exciting to watch the likes of Robert Pires and Thierry Henry.' --------------------------------- [11] Giggsy on injuries --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, April 27, 2002 by tb: 'It's probably been my worst season in terms of frustration. I feel like every time I go on the pitch I get better but there've been so many interruptions. 'I don't think I'm capable of say, 10 games in a row. Seven or eight maybe. But it doesn't matter to me if I miss one game because it makes me sharper for the others. It's getting a balance.' --------------------------------- [10] Book claims Sven was ours --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, April 27, 2002 by tb: Michael Cricks new biography on Fergie quotes sources high up in FA 'United offered the job to Sven,' He was very keen to do it, all set to go. It's amazing in some ways, but I don't think Sven enjoys being England manager that much. He has made plenty of noises about wanting to get back into the day-to-day drug that is club football.' --------------------------------- [9] Sven on the Metatarsus 2 --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, April 27, 2002 by tb: "I have no idea whether Beckham will be fit." "I'm saying he will be fit with my heart and not with my head. But with Gary Neville, I'm not optimistic. It is heart- breaking for him. I feel very sorry for him." --------------------------------- [8] Marcus Stewart on game --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, April 27, 2002 by tb: "United will approach the game knowing they have to beat us to stay in with a chance of the title. Personally, I think Arsenal will win it. "United will have a go at us, whatever team they field - but I believe we have a chance of beating them. --------------------------------- [7] Wenger sticks fingers in ears --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, April 27, 2002 by tb: "I respect Alex but I am ignoring his comments in the same way I ignore all comments about Arsenal. "What is said does not influence us in any way. "I am in a no-win situation. If I say we will win the championship, some people don't like it. "We are four points clear and if I said we couldn't win the title, a lot more people wouldn't like that either! "Simply, the title is down to us and how we play. The belief and determination of my team is so high it means we will just keep going." --------------------------------- [6] Sheep to be let out of pen --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, April 27, 2002 by tb: Sven wants Bowyer & Woodgate "Both he and Jonathan Woodgate have had a difficult year or two. "We have a lot of good midfielders in this country so the competition is very hard. But at some stage, I am going to pick both of them, very soon after the World Cup." --------------------------------- [5] Gareth Cheeseman strikes again --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, April 27, 2002 by tb: >From Ananova: A council employee resigned in San Diego after topless girls appeared on a screen during a sexual harassment seminar. An internal investigation found the person was responsible for the images inadvertently flashing onto the screen last week. Council staff and police officers attending the compulsory seminar had just watched a Powerpoint presentation. While the picture appeared to depict underage girls, police haven't determined if it's child pornography. The employee, who hasn't been named came forward after the investigation began and later resigned. It's not known if they resigned because of the incident. But city spokesman Don Williamson said: "I guess we can certainly assume it was because of that." --------------------------------- [4] Sourness to reunite Dwight and Andy? --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, April 27, 2002 by tb: "We have to make sure which division we are playing in next season before we start to bring players in. "If we stay up then we will look at better quality players - and not so long ago, Dwight and Andy Cole were the best in Europe." --------------------------------- [3] Fergie: Ta-ra Dwight --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, April 27, 2002 by tb: "Dwight has got to move on. He's got to get a career elsewhere - that is obvious." "He's done a great job for us and he will do a great job for somewhere else." --------------------------------- [2] Tractor Boy: Veron will get better --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, April 27, 2002 by tb: Fellow Argentinian Peralta "I have known Juan Veron for many years." "We have met a couple of times and the last time was when Lazio played Inter Milan and I had a long chat with him after the game. "He is a world-class player but people in England have not seen the best of him. "He will get even better - it does take time to adapt to the way Manchester United play and the way football is played in England, as I have found." --------------------------------- [1] Gary Nev not giving up --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, April 27, 2002 by tb: "Most people seem to think I am out of the World Cup finals and, on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, I felt the same. "I knew it was a long shot because of the fracture in my left foot and I didn't want to raise false expectations or waste anybody's time. "Once I was at the club and spoke to doctors and other people at Manchester United, I started to think again. "It might only be a 10% chance - you can probably make that nearer five per cent - but there is nothing to be gained by giving up." "Sven-Goran Eriksson urged me to be positive when I talked to him on Thursday so, while I can understand people assuming that I will be an armchair supporter this summer, they will have to forgive me for clinging to my slender hopes," he added. "A few years ago, Ryan Giggs fractured exactly the same bone near the little toe and was playing in 35 days. "It will take a miracle recovery and I don't want to deprive someone of a place by taking a ridiculous gamble. "But I will have an X-ray around the time that Mr Eriksson is naming his World Cup squad on May 7 and, if there are signs of rapid improvement, you never, never know." --------------------------------- [41] Fergie doesn't believe... --------------------------------- Posted Friday, April 26, 2002 by bar-knee: or mind games? "You can't really see them slipping up because all the times you expected them to drop something, they've come up with the answer and you have to give them credit for that. They look in an unassailable position now. Our form since Christmas has been very good, but equally so Arsenal. They have been in fantastic form and you can't really see them losing now because they are in such a strong position. For Liverpool too, if we were to beat Arsenal they could win the league so it's an exciting time for them too. We can only do our job and see what happens" --------------------------------- [40] Latest team news --------------------------------- Posted Friday, April 26, 2002 by bar-knee: Barthez out with damaged ribs, Blanc with knee injury and Veron's troubled achilles means he misses too O'Shea and Brown at the back, Carroll in goal Team from Carroll, van der Gouw, Silvestre, Irwin, P Neville, Brown, O'Shea, Scholes, Butt, Giggs, Stewart, Keane, Wallwork, Forlan, Solskjaer, van Nistelrooy. --------------------------------- [39] You decide --------------------------------- Posted Friday, April 26, 2002 by bar-knee: With reference to story 29 Did this pr**k really visit Our Republic ? If so he must have used HG Wells bloody time machine ! Either that or he pocketed the expenses & just looked at a Lowry painting... You decide. Cheers Lee --------------------------------- [38] Any excuse --------------------------------- Posted Friday, April 26, 2002 by bar-knee: Just to let you know next Tuesday is Queens Day in Holland. This is the biggest excuse for a party/P**S UP especially in Amsterdam, when 500,000 or more party all day and night so anyone passing through on the way to Germany be prepared...
