Speaking In Limericks In Manchester

Even though he's expressed disinterest in taking the Ireland job (although once Brian Kerr is fired - as early as tomorrow - we'll have to see), he's definitely practicing talking in limericks and riddles.

Or at least he's confusing the hades out of me.

Sir Alex is claiming that the Champions League is Manchester United's best chance of silverware this season.

Hmm...

Wait a second, didn't a certain Red Devils team come in second in a certain English domestic cup last year? Somehow I think beating Bolton or (yikes) Arsenal will be a lot easier than beating Bayern Munich or Ajax.

Maybe I don't want Alex Ferguson taking over my second favortie national side since he's obviously gone senile.

Then again, he may just have a competition without Chelsea in it to win anything. Maybe falling to the UEFA Cup would be their best chance of getting silverware. :)

Arsenal, on the other hand, may as well just pack it up so Alex has got something on his big rivals. You know things have gone from much bad to much worse when you lose to West Bromwich Albion and when Martin Jol has room to call you average.

Strange things happen when you're a.w.o.l. for almost a fortnight, eh?

West Brom, however, had quite a bit of a bee in their bonnet this weekend. In an interview on BBC last week, FIFA President Sepp Blatter did everything but accuse them of throwing matches by benching their best players when the big boys come to town.

Of course, they wouldn't really need most of their big boys to beat Arsenal as of late.

Oh why, oh why do the schedule makers hate Fulham? Never has one point felt so good. Never.
