Subject: Team News: BIG GUNS JOIN SECOND STRING FOR REDS CUP CAMPAIGN
Manchester United bring in two of their big guns for tomorrow's Worthington
Cup quarter-final at White Hart Lane, but Alex Ferguson is sticking to his
policy of using mostly a second-string side.
Former Tottenham star Teddy Sheringham starts his first game since September
30, and Ryan Giggs continues his build-up for next week's showdown with
Bayern Munich in the Champions' League.
But they are both coming back after injury, and the United boss draws a line
there with only a sprinkling of other first-team regulars in the side.
Ronny Johnsen is another likely to figure if he comes through a fitness
test, although David May and Jordi Cruyff are ruled out because of injury.
''There was no temptation at all to put the first team out,'' says Ferguson.
''Not in the context of the season we have. It is vital for players like
Henning Berg, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Teddy Sheringham.
''It is an important game for them. I think all those who play tomorrow will
have something to play for. They could get us to the final and they could
win the Worthington Cup.'' Ferguson saw his largely second-string side
knocked out of the then Coca-Cola Cup by Ipswich last year and knows
Tottenham boss George Graham views things differently from him and that
Spurs will be close to full strength.
''This is George's big chance of winning a trophy in his first season at
Tottenham and they will play their strongest team,'' he said ''But I think
it is terrific for our players going there for a big game like this, and for
a change, we are the underdogs.''

Subject: Keeper Bid Soon (TeamTalk)
Reds Eye Urgent Keeper Solution
Speculation is mounting that United will make a move for Ajax keeper Edwin
van der Sar sooner rather than later.
The giant Dutchman - who stands taller than Peter Schmeichel - is said to
top Alex Ferguson's wanted list, and United would be prepared to meet his
club's £4m asking price to get their man.
The timing of the move will depend on what happens next week as the final
group games of the Champions' League sort out which eight teams go through
to the quarter-finals.
Ajax are second in their section with seven points and, although still
harbouring hopes of progression as runners-up, are unlikely to go through.
While they are still in with a shout, though, there seems little chance of
the Dutch champions letting the 28-year-old international go.
If United qualify and Ajax don't, Fergie is expected to make his move during
the mid-winter transfer break after which he could play Van der Sar in the
Premiership and rotate Schmeichel back in for the Champions' League matches.
This would ease the burden on the Great Dane who claimed the hectic fixture
schedule was a big reason for his decision to quit the English game at the
end of the season.
Alex Ferguson is anxious to bridge the gap as quickly, effectively and
painlessly as possible.
The Reds do not want to get into a situation where other clubs can hold them
to ransom in the summer over the available targets who have been assessed.
While United want an experienced replacement for Schmeichel, they are also
thought to be monitoring several young keepers in Europe with a view to
bringing one through as a back-up over the next couple of seasons.
Matthias Asper of Swedish club AIK Stockholm is attracting interest at the
moment.
Speculation has moved away from Mark Bosnich recently but the focus could
return to the Australian if he recovers from a shoulder injury in time to
make his comeback for Aston Villa against United this Saturday.

Jon Leigh Personal Barcelona Report
I'm sure not too many people will want to know what I got
up to be here goes.....4:55 a.m. Tuesday morning, and I am
listening to the sound I hate more than anything else in
the whole wide world: the sound of my alarm clock. For
reasons I (and she) will never understand, my girlfriend
the lovely Denise had volunteered to drive me from Ilkley
to Manchester Airport and pick me up when I got back, so 45
minutes later we were hurtling along the A59 towards the M6
with her at the wheel. 5:45 a.m. And I am at Manchester
Airport and see a few familiar faces - like Andy Shaw and
Peter Eyres from Mere Golf Club (sounds posh, but Peter is
the pro there and a top lad and top red) and finally meet
up with the other 5 lads in the group. There were meant to
be 12 of us, but SIX lads had jellied out at the last
minute AND not paid the 400 quid for the trip. Beyond me,
but there you go. By the time we have checked in it is time
to board the Luftwaffe (sorry, Lufthansa) flight to MUNICH,
from where we are flying on to Barca. The nice thing about
scheduled flights is that the air hostesses are quite happy
to give you as many drinks as you ask for - it's no skin
off their nose. And those little whisky bottles have at
least a double measure in them. Consequently by 7:30a.m. I
was tucking in to the first of an estimated 8 double Jack
Daniels of the 2 flights. After a quick beer in Munich (I
knew those left-over D-Marks from October would come in
useful) we are on the plane to Barcelona. At this point I
lose track of time a bit, along with my 5 colleagues, and
to be honest I've no f*cking idea what time we got there.
A short taxi ride to the hotel, bags dumped, and we are
walking along La Rambla. At the bottom we see Kevin Moran
at a bar. He comments, about my 9th JD & Coke of the day "I
bet that's not diet coke, is it?". I don't remember if we
had lunch, but we end up in a bar on La Rambla full of reds
in full voice. A worse for wear Messrs Eyres and Shaw are
also there, along with a certain P. Boyle who very
generously buys me a (pint of) JD & Coke. Somehow we end up
in a restaurant where we meet Wilf McGuinness and
(separately) Paddy Crerand's mate: Mr. Alan Green. To his
credit, he spends a good half hour talking to us, and he
certainly sympathises with our "you can stick yer f*ckin
Ingerland up...", thinks Hoddle is a tosser etc., but he
loses all his brownie points by continuing to insist that
Keano is a lout. Oh and it seems Fergie doesn't exactly
think the sun shines out of his arse either. Due to a bout
of hiccups (wonder why) I have to retire to bed early at
about midnight. On my way back (alone) along La Rambla I am
propositioned by a prostitute of indeterminate gender. I
politely decline.
So on to day 2, the day of the match. We are soon back on
the alcohol. One of our party, a certain Les Watson, is a
good mate of Roger Edwards (Fartin's brother) so we go
along to his (and as it turns out the team's) hotel to pick
him up. There we see Fergie and most of the team. I resist
the temptation to advise Schikes to try not to chuck it in
his own goal tonight, because he's a pretty awsome-looking
bugger close up. Roger is in a dreadful state. It seems he
and Fartin were out till about 3 the night before - he told
us the full story. For legal reasons I cannot pass on his
account of proceedings, but let's just say a few local
women must have been several hundred quid of fans' money
better off and BSkyB probably have enough on Fartin to
blackmail him into selling his 14% to them. (I wonder....).
Poor Roger has to endure about 2 hours of me lecturing him
on how his brother is selling us up the river. It seems
they have a strange relationship: Roger is hardly a down
and out, but he is not exactly a millionaire and by all
accounts he won't get a penny of Fartin's 90 mil. Now if
you had that much money how much would YOU give your
brother/sister??
A few drinks in the hotel bar serve only to top up the
previous day, so lunch in a Tapas bar near the team hotel
is a bit of a blur. I've no idea where we went next, but at
about 7pm we are getting in a taxi outside our hotel. There
I see Paddy Crerand, who I ask about the bid. I think I've
already said he is dead against it, and it was lovely to
hear the "We're paying the interest on Murdoch's bank loan"
line. We get the taxi driver (whom Roger used the previous
night and who confirmed where they had been) to drop us off
at the Pricess Sophia (I think) hotel near the ground and
head for the bar. En route we see El Tel, who is amused by
our comments that he "was a better England manager than the
current tosser" but we don't trouble him as we are thirsty.
I have to say that this bar was full of complete tossers,
most of whom I had never seen before, most on some sort of
'freebie' to watch United. Very upsetting. Inside the
stadium, I meet up with a couple of old reds who I see at
nearly every away game. I ask them about the bid, and to my
surprise they are FOR it. After 30 minutes of ear-bending
they change their tune to "it's inevitable anyway". Very
disheartening, but I think I moved them slightly towards
understanding a little better what is going on. We are on
the very left-hand edge of the United section and
horrifically with 5 minutes to kick-off the rest of the
ground is EMPTY. Now I know what it's like at Maine Road
for an FA Cup tie.
There are plenty of proper reds about, but there IS one
tosser with a non-Manc accent who seems to think the war
with the Spanish Armada has not ended and hurls racist
abuse continually at the startled Barca fans to the point
of not spending much time watching the game (which may have
been his first ever). I think we all know where people like
that should NOT be.
We all know what happened during the game - the "oh here we
go" after 40 seconds, the "we can win this" when Dwight
scores, the "we're 4 passes from winning this" at half
time, the "YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS" when Andy scores, the
"can't see them getting back into it" until Schmikes decides
to go disco-dancing instead of stopping Rivaldo's chipped
free kick, the 3-2, the inevitable 3-3, the near 4-3 (to
them). The ground suddenly filling up (lower sections
mostly) at half time. The thought leaving the stadium that
we should be already in the quarter finals. A veil will be
drawn over the rest of that night's proceedings. Thursday,
and although glad that we don't have to get up early to
catch a plane home, Barcelona is depressingly eerie without
10,000 drunken reds about the place. We have a very very
long lunch somewhere in Barcelona. Once more, a veil will
be drawn over the evening's proceedings.
5:00 the next morning (Friday), and it's up nice and early
again to fly (via FRANKFURT this time) back to Manchester.
Strangely Lufthansa's alcohol supplies are not given
anything near the hammering they got on the way out. After
a lovely delay in Frankfurt due to snow (!) we finally get
back to the Peoples' Republic of Manchester at 1pm where my
lovely lady is wating to take me back home (knackered) to
Ilkley. European Super League? No way any human being could
do this more than 4 or 5 times a year.

Subject: Barcelona Trip
My mate and I arranged a trip for 12 of us from Lancaster
that gave us three nights in Barcelona .... the whole lot
including transfers to London by train, the various Taxi
fares to and from the airport, tickets, accommodation,
flights etc came to less than ?250.
We arrived in Barcelona about 10:30 on Monday evening after
a fairly traumatic change of planes at Brussels airport.
Someone at Heathrow had forgotten to give us boarding cards
for the Brussels/Barcelona flight and we had 15 minutes to
catch the flight. After running back and forth around the
airport (must have looked like the Nike advert) we managed
to get Virgin to come up with some boarding cards and they
held the plane for 10 minutes - I was totally knackered. To
cap it all, it was the same plane that we had just got off
!!!! Anyway we checked in at the hotel (excellent value at
?20 p.p.p.n) and arranged to go out 20 mins later. Set off
for the top of the Ramblas and worked our way down to the
nearest bar ... well ripped off in there. The United fans
at the bar must have thought likewise as they helped
themselves to the bottles of wine before leaving !! A quick
hour in the Robin Hood bar before they closed (they stay
open until 3:00 but it was too busy so they closed early -
some strange logic there !)
Tuesday
A bit of culture on Tuesday ... went off and had a look
round the Nou Camp and the museum. It was my first time in
the ground and the place is awesome. I wasn't that
impressed with the museum though - full of all sorts of
crap and a very "arty" section upstairs. Then it was off to
the Sagrada Familia - a strange building if ever I saw one
... that Gaudi bloke who had years of input to the design
must have been on some real good stuff to come up with that
place. Basically its still a building site and I'm not sure
if it will be finished in my life time - worth a look
though.
The culture trip got a bit much when it was suggested we
visit the Picasso museum ... I along with most of the
others opted for the nearest bar !!! Tuesday night was
decent food then an extended session in the bars ... or so
we thought. First stop, the Olympic Village ... fairly
mediocre Tex Mex restaurant and then a walk past countless
empty bars ... all still blasting music out ... caught the
last 10 minutes of the Liverpool game and the hilarious
last goal for Celta Vigo in one of the bars - this one
actually had people in which was surprising at ?3:20 for a
bottle of Bud !!
Decided to go back to the Ramblas as there were bound to be
many more Reds about that night ... timing was perfect
-not. We get there and the riot police had moved in to
clear the Robin Hood and the surrounding bars. So much for
the extended bar crawl ... after walking for what seemed
like hours (I should have been sponsored it was that far
!!) we grabbed taxis back to the hotel and fortunately
found a bar that kept open for us.
Wednesday was a gentle build up to the game ... at ?45 a
ticket I didn't want to be in such a state that I
remembered little of the game. Window shopping was in order
on the Avda Diagonal - Gucci is a touch out of my range ...
a few bars then back to the hotel to get on the arctic
clothing for the game.
Found a great bar near the ground and turned it into a
small part of Lancaster with the flags tied to the nearest
trees. No hassle from the locals or the police. Had a visit
from Wilf McGuiness who was out there working for the media.
Eventually and reluctantly we left for the ground ... not
content with having tickets in the top tier, ours were 3
rows from the back !!! No wonder they have barriers in
front of every row of seats - not a place for people with
vertigo. Stupid idea of the night was to climb even further
up on the posts at the back to tie the flags up .... I gave
up after a while but one of the lads braved it to get them
up - pity the T.V. cameras decided not to show the United
fans during the game.
I wont go into the game as no doubt that's already been
covered ... strangely disappointed though even after such a
great game. A few beers afterwards near the ground and then
back nearer the hotel .... then the memory chip seems to
fail until Thursday morning ... a 14 hour journey home and
back to reality. Roll on May and the return trip ....

Subject: Kiddo Offered Rovers Job
Blackburn Bid For Kidd Rejected
United have refused Blackburn Rovers permission to offer Brian Kidd a king's
ransom to quit Old Trafford and take over as manager of the Premiership's
bottom club.
Rovers supremo Jack Walker officially made his move yesterday morning -
calling United chief executive Martin Edwards and asking to speak to Alex
Ferguson's right-hand man.
But the bold bid was halted before it even began when Edwards steadfastly
denied Blackburn the chance to quadruple Kidd's earnings with an offer of a
£500,000-a-year job and a massive transfer war chest.
Walker made Kidd his number one choice after crisis talks at the weekend but
Blackburn's only chance of getting their man now would be if the
highly-respected Reds coach was to walk out on the club he has served for 30
years.
Edwards effectively told his counterpart that Kidd, who signed a new
four-year deal with the club last summer, leaves "over my dead body".
United's refusal to let Rovers speak to Kidd is just the latest episode in a
boardroom feud which has existed ever since the East Lancashire upstarts
challenged for the title.
Walker denied the club the chance to sign Alan Shearer when he left for £15
million then replied with a cheeky bid for Eric Cantona which met with an
equally frosty response.

Subject: Harry McShane/too early/too many questions!
Shame people didn't realise who Harry McShane is but then again it's
always the same old ritual at half-time isn't it?! Most of us are off to
the loo/for a pint/to try and find mates/all of these things at half-time
since we can rarely sit together these days so it's hardly surprising
there's not much response to the Keith mundane and his cash dash
mish-mash. The only surprising thing is that MC Mundane continues to be
surprised at the lack of reaction!
I don't know about everyone else but putting the kick-off time back to 2
o'clock is a nightmare after two night's drinking on Fri/Sat - and i was
only driving in from Lancs on Sunday! No wonder the atmosphere was a bit
below par for a sheep encounter - I could hardly speak my throat was so
dry. [Good job we weren't playing the Lards in the end Doug!] The sheep
fans were far too boring to raise most from their Sunday
slumber too often. It was a weird game all-told, until Leeds scored we
created lots of chances but Dwight and Coley were rusty after Barce and
couldn't convert. Still, it was great to see Nicky score a class winner
and hopefully he can keep his shots down a bit more often now he's managed
to get one in (!). Best shot of the day (not) award as usual won by G.
Neville esquire in the 2nd half with a half-overhead slicer special - nice
one to add to the collection Gazza! Wes Brown is f@~%ing class and seems
completely unfazed when he makes a mistake - he's amazingly athletic in
his running - what potential! Stam made some very important interceptions
before going off - he's a class act individually too but the defence has a
lot of work to do to become a cohesive unit of the kind we've become used
to. I suppose we've just got to be patient but we were hanging on at the
end on Sunday and I'm ageing fast.
A question - can we come up with a song for Yorkey? There's always the
Sinatra New York version sung by Villa but not sure how many people can
stomach that one!
Cheers,
Jonny
