Frenchman Louis Saha has apparently extended his current deal with Man United to the year 2010. Finally, something good in the press about the United squad. It seems the defeat at Upton Park has cast a cloud of doom and gloom all over. But it is only natural that a thumping win against the likes of Villa at the weekend are going to disspell any fears of a weakened United not quite ready to sustain a title challenge against Chelski this year. Coming back to our news item, Saha has been an integral part of our squad when he’s been the lone man up front and spearheaded the United attack in recent times.

Have to say, his performances have been impressive of late and it is only logical that with the form he’s in currently, he should be rewarded with a new deal that will see him at Old Trafford for another couple of years.

In other news, Mr. Wenger is apparently still dreaming of a title this year claiming that the Gunners have not given up hope of winning the title this year. Sure thing Arsene, it’s just a piss-poor form and a 14-point gap with United that you have to contend with! lol!

Managers in praise of Sir Alex Ferguson

Sir Alex Ferguson is celebrating his 20th year in charge of the Red Devils with our home game against Pompey and managers, meanwhile, have been singing his praises … and why not, considering how quickly managers change at the top-level at the majority of clubs nowadays, it truly is amazing to have had such a brilliant tactician at the helm for 2 decades!

SAF is quite simply the best of the lot, not only because he has an eye for footballing talent, but also for the way he runs things. I will say no more, other than just that I hope he stays for a lot longer as suggested by Gary Neville when he said that the Scot may well stay for another 10 years!

Onto the quotes …

Arsene Wenger

“When you think that the average life of a manager is one year and seven days, and somebody has done 20, it is remarkable consistency.

“It is a remarkable achievement, unique. A unique one in Europe at the top level.

“No-one could say the opposite. It needs tremendous motivation, tremendous stamina, and he has that.”

Rafael Benitez

“It is amazing to be 20 years at one club, but especially in a top club. To do that at a very big club with so much constant pressure shows you that he is a top, top manager.

“I believe he is the number one in England and one of the top two or three in the world. To win the high number of trophies he has had over these years says everything you want to know about him. The secret to his success is that he is a very clever man and manager.”

Gordon Strachan

“He is the best manager of his generation as far as I am concerned. I just know he is a special, special man.”

Harry Redknapp

“Alex is a fantastic character, a top-class manager and a good man.

“And I’ll tell you why he’s stayed in the game so long. It’s quite simple - he just loves it so much, as I do. It gets in your blood and you take the job home with you. You take it everywhere.”
