In the News…

Before our all-important Champions League fixture against Benfica tonight, I wanted to cover a couple of news stories taking shape out there in the press today. First of all, Mr. Mourinho came out saying all kinds of bull recently after his sore little draw here and he’s continued the trend saying he is rooting for the ‘Super Eagles’, as if we didn’t know that already! It is obvious the guy hasn’t had any serious competition to his thrown at the top of the League and with United leading the way now, he is feeling the heat!

On the other hand, Fergie is certain United will not fail tonight. That kind of optimism generally leads us in the wrong but let’s just hope that one was for the press only. Speaking of ‘for the press only’, Fergie has come out in defence of our winger Ronaldo too saying he is a ‘revenge victim’. While I may agree that he ‘did’ lose his balance at the wrong end of the field, it has been a rather common sight of late. Don’t get me wrong, it’s just that I’d rather win fair and square avoiding these controversies altogether. But I will agree with Fergie on one thing, that the press is always waiting for the opportunity to jump on Ronaldo’s back as soon as they see anything dubious from him which is ridiculous to say the least!
