Player ratings for Man U v. Roma here. No mercy taken on the losers.

Its absurd that Roma got 4's. That was one of the worst performances in history. There should have been several 1's mixed in there starting with Doni

I'm not a footie expert by any means but Giggs had one of the best performances I've seen.

Agreed..given that Scholes was out it was an amazing performance to anchor the MF.

More madness at Fulham - they've sacked Chris Coleman with a month of the season to go.

Their away form over the past two seasons is the sole reason they are in relegation trouble. Just two away wins in that period.

I'll try and write about anything that to me is interesting. Probably to everyone else it isn't. I expect it will be mostly about sports and the weather, as they are my interests.

Btw, ukhs, I've noticed somebody left you a comment to your last post at your blog.

Okay. I mean who was asking such silly questions like that anyway?

Thanks also for your kind words about mine.

Nah wasn't a silly question, may start another blog "Million and 1 reasons why Gould should not present 5 Baseball" Doesn't he realise he's presenting a show to people about baseball and not his own personal show about what his life consists of, all he ever talks about is his road trip and fantasy baseball team.

Wonder if McLaren took notice last night (very doubtfull) that Man Utd ripped apart a European team by playing like an English team with pace and passion instead of the usual tip tap tip tap style of play England use.

Football marketing gone mad part #123.
From next season, we'll have two Premier League's in English football - the FA Premier League, and now the Blue Square Premier League.

[shameless plug]I posted about it at my blog.[/shameless plug]

But seriously, this is even more stupid than the Football League renaming their top flight to the Championship a couple of years back. For me, it's a bit demeaning to fans of these teams.

Ok..the wording is a little confusing. The conference will be the Premier Non-League conference...which is also confusing.

Of course if there was a single entity that governed the English football world then all this would be rendered moot.

The Conference will be known as Blue Square Premier from next season, while the Conference North and South will be known as the Blue Square Northern and Blue Square Southern.

And a spokesman from Five Live confirmed the name when he was interviewed just before 7.

Kahn's pretty ancient now isn't he. Any talk of him hanging it up?
