Premiership Race for 6th Spot: Man City, Newcastle, Everton, West Ham, Blackburn, Aston Villa and Bolton in the running
Hypothetically, were Chelsea, Man United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs to be relegated after a match fixing scandal who would win the next Premiership title? I suppose it’s unlikely to happen, but who will finish 6th this season and win the last UEFA cup spot is still an intriguing question, with many possible outcomes.
Manchester United: Testing The Fringe Players
For some Manchester United fans, the 2-1 against Preston North End (who?) would not even have registered on the radar. But looking at the lineup gives us a peek into Alex Ferguson’s preparations for the 2006/2007 season. Foster, Bardsley, Richardson, Fletcher, Solskjaer, Rossi, Miller, Pique, Evra and David Jones are all part of Manchester United’s…
Will Manchester United Buy Senna and Tevez?
Tired as I am of all these pointless rumours, the current crop, and especially that of Senna, worth mentioning in light of what I said earlier today on Manchester United buying further reinforcements for the midfield and attack.

Sir Alex Ferguson has been quoted by MUTV as saying that “we’re close” to signing Carrick from Tottenham and that while there had been some agreement between Manchester United and Tottenham over the transfer, everything was not final although it should be “finalised over the day or so”. The price is mooted to be 14.5…
Manchester United Need Rossi To Replace Ruud
I’m not convinced that Manchester United have the transfer budget to attract another striker to fill Ruud’s boots. Actually, let me rephrase that: I don’t think there is any striker available on the market (and I include Ibrahimovic, Tevez and Defoe in this list) who can fill in for the man.
Taking another break – this time from the tabloid transfer gossip
There’s a very good reason I subscribe to UEFA.com Magazine’s RSS feed (in fact, you should as well): well written articles, always a fresh perspective and news that you tend to miss in the hype created by today’s tabloids.

Manchester United “Sign” Carrick From Tottenham? Not Yet…
The Sun, The Independent and the Guardian are all harping about Manchester United signing Carrick from Tottenham next week.
