Well, I'll eat my hat. I say about smaller clubs not being able to compete, then find out that Heskey has earned Wigan a point against Chelsea! Massive news for United, almost certain to win the league now.

Still not relishing Barcelona.

We can beat them, i'm confident we can perform well. But it's going to be tense. Last time we met them was the group stages of 1998/1999 and both of those games finished 3-3. As exciting as that would be, I don't think i could take it.

European football is always great to watch as a neutral, especially when you have nothing riding on it except the time when you wander off to bed lol. I have a soft spot for Liverpool though...

I REMEMBER the days when Norwich finished 3rd in the Prem and got into the UEFA Cup!...lol. Even if I was only 3...I remember watching us beat Bayern Munchen in the old Olympic Stadion (THE ONLY British team to manage it I'll have you all know, learn and remember!). Jeremy Goss' wonder volley and Mark Bowen's far post header - those really were the days...

ManUtd has the best squad to win that big cup..and the title. They ofcourse have a great goalkeeper (being chauvinistic again)

Amazing how some teams can fall from grace. Nottingham Forest being one of the biggest ones.

And MWSAH - Van Der Sar is one of the best goalkeepers of the past 10/15 if I'm to be honest. Great player and great personality.

Definitely. Leeds, Forest, Wimbledon etc. and on a lower scale, teams like Wrexham and Cambridge United...

I remember that game too,pretty good side then.Didn't they play Inter Milan next,with Berkgamp in thier side ? I love the time I went to Carrow Road.May Bank Holiday Monday 1987,won 1 - 0,goal after 45 seconds............won the League.Parked up outside some B & B,guy comes out,bangs on the window and says "....are you going the game later ?",invites us into the B & B ,goes in,it was only where the Norwich City players used to go after training.It was mint,bar,snooker table,stayed there for a good couple of hours.So I always remember Norwich for that.You may not like me saying this,but I enjoyed my visit to Portman Road too.....

January 1994 we (Everton) get Mike Walker as Manager.Strangest Manager we ever had.He lasted about 10 months,absolute crap he was,didn't have a clue......but the crowd loved him,work that out.......
