Hi

I agree with alan that Manchester City are a very good side and at their best they play exciting football. Their passing movements at times were simply amazing. I know because I was at Old Trafford when they murdered us 6-1.

As a Manchester United supporter you will realise that this hurts ( ever so slightly !!) to post this.

Man United though have always being known for entertaining and exciting football. Although last season they were not at their best they still only lost the League in the last seconds of the season to a fantastic ( and for me still - unbelieveable )two goals in the last minutes of the game.

We just need Pirlo, Schweinsteiger and Ronaldo ( sorry gnu)back, and Captain Vidij to be fit again. We would then give City and every other team a run for their money.

As for England....it needs a change to the whole management structure.
At the moment the players are not encouraged by their clubs to even want to play for their country. In fact several managers openly try to limit their own players from playing Internationals. It needs to start with the FA and The Premier League getting together to work something out. Don't hold your breath!!!

Then of course we have to learn to produce our own home-based players of the right standard and abilities to match the rest of the World.

Cheers
