Reds,

Sorry but I can't take one game at a time like the Professionals ;-) My
mind is already on Weds - yours too probably. I'll settle for losing 3-0
tomororw and a 1-0 win on Weds rather than a 3-0 win tomorrow and a 1-1
draw on Weds. Hopefully, we'll win both about 7-0.

PARIS (Mar 13, 1998 - 17:48 EST) - Metz consolidated their lead with a 1-0
win at Montpellier as Monaco virtually lost all chance of retaining the
French first division championship after a 3-1 defeat at Auxerre on Friday.

AJ Auxerre striker Steve Marlet scored once in each half as Monaco, who
play Manchester United in the second leg of their European Cup
quarter-final at Old Trafford on Wednesday, fell 3-0 behind after 65 minutes.

Midfielder Sabri Lamouchi scored Auxerre's other goal as the 1996 champions
notched up a morale boosting win ahead of the home leg of their UEFA Cup
quarter-final against Lazio on Tuesday.

"I'm happy to have scored again after such a long time," said Marlet, who
last found the net in December in the second leg of Auxerre's UEFA Cup
third round match at home to Twente Enschede.

"This puts us back in the fight for European places and sets us up for
Tuesday's match."

Auxerre coach Guy Roux said the victory was good for his team's morale as
Lazio had won their Italian Cup semifinal on Wednesday.

"We'd be down if we'd lost or drawn. So this was a good night's work," he
said.

Stephane Guivarc'h, the division's top scorer, was surprisingly not among
the scorers, turning provider instead by laying on both Marlet's goals.

His fellow French international striker David Trezeguet, back from injury,
scored a consolation goal for the champions.

Auxerre's reserve goalkeeper Fabien Cool, who came on in the second half
for injured French international Lionel Charbonnier, made several good
saves to keep Monaco scoreless until Trezeguet's 77th-minute strike.

Monaco's already long injury list increased early in the match when
midfielder Sylvain Legwinski had to come off after a knock on the knee.

Schmeichel loss adds to United woe
By Joe Melling

Sunday, March 15, 1998

Marc Overmars ensured the Premiership title procession has now become a
sprint finish as Arsenal won 1-0 at Old Trafford to cut Manchester United's
lead at the top of the table to six points.

The Gunners, who have three games in hand, closed the gap with an
80th-minute goal from Dutchman Overmars.

On a terrible day for United, goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel tore his hamstring
and will miss Wednesday's European Cup quarter-final second leg against
Monaco.

Schmeichel insisted on joining in the late search for an equaliser. After
contesting a United corner, he was in the process of chasing back when he
pulled up sharply and could be out for five weeks.

With additional injuries to Ryan Giggs, Gary Pallister, Nicky Butt, Ronny
Johnsen and Phillip Neville, United manager Alex Ferguson admitted: 'I will
have to rethink my plans for the game against Monaco.

'There is a chance for Butt and I may have to risk Giggs. But the others are
all doubtful.'

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger still thinks United are favourites for the
Premiership title.

He said: 'Manchester United remain in the best position.

'They did not lose the championship with this result. But for the very first
time the situation is in our own hands. We do not have to rely on their bad
results.'

Ferguson added: 'It was a major disappointment and a bad result. Arsenal
deserved it. But circumstances were piled high against us.'

United's Champions League quarter-final clash

The Welsh winger, who has missed six games with
hamstring trouble, has stepped up his comeback

Manager Alex Ferguson said: ``Ryan has been doing
quite well. He's in with a decent chance.

FERGUSON PLAYING THOSE MIND GAMES
By David Anderson, PA Sport

And so the title race is back on. Marc Overmars' strike at Old Trafford has
guaranteed a pulsating end to an already memorable season.

Arsenal are now just six points behind leaders Manchester United and have
three games in hand.

United boss Alex Ferguson, who is a veteran of the last six championship
battles, refused to say who the smart money would be on now, but he feels
the result increases the pressure on Arsenal.

He fired another shot in his battle of minds with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger
when he claimed they will no longer benefit from being out of the
penetrating glare of the title spotlight.

Ferguson also pointed out that Arsenal have 10 league games and the small
matter of an FA Cup quarter-final replay against West Ham to squeeze into
the remaining weeks of the season.

"We're in a situation now that we're used to so it's not as if we're
unaccustomed to it," he said.

"Over the last six years we've had to battle hard for the championship.

"On some occasions we've won in the last few weeks and some on the last day.
But no matter how it's done, we've found our way quite well.

"Four out of six and second in the other two championships is magnificent
consistent form.

"Arsenal have been afforded the great pleasure of being behind four or five
teams with everybody writing them off.

"Arsenal have not been under any pressure. They have been coasting along
behind everyone, now they've come with a run and they're in a position now
that every mistake they make will cost them.

"They have to win their games in hand and they'll find out now how difficult
it is."

United have taken just one point out of their last nine and injuries are a
major factor behind that.

Peter Schmeichel could be out for five weeks with a torn hamstring, but
Ferguson is optimistic most of the others will be off the casualty list in
time for their next Premiership match against Wimbledon in a fortnight.

Ronny Johnsen (calf), Phil Neville (hamstring), Ryan Giggs (hamstring), Gary
Pallister (back) and Nicky Butt (calf) should all be back.

"We're feeling the pinch in terms of injuries, but by March 28 I would think
that Giggs would be back, Pallister would be back and Butt will be better,"
he said.

"Then we will be able to get back to the balance and penetration which has
made us so successful this season.

"At the moment I'm not having the same penetration with the midfield I'm
having to play.

"I'm having to change all the time, which is not the type of situation you
want, particularly in the big games.

"You want to be able to say this is Manchester United - beat this team, but
we're not able to do that at the moment."

Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira believes the title pendulum has swung in
their direction.

He feels the victory was a massive result, but he acknowledges that games in
hand are not the same as points in the bag.

"Psychologically now we have the advantage," said the Frenchman.

"But even before the kick-off we felt we had it because we had won the first
match 3-2 at Highbury.

"When you take six points off Manchester United, that can make the
difference, especially when last season we didn't take a single point
against them.

"Even though we have three games in hand we know that is not as good as nine
points. We now have to carry on with the same spirit, which we showed on
Saturday."

Soccer showcase-Schmeichel out of European Cup clash

MANCHESTER, England, March 14 (Reuters) - Manchester United's goalkeeper and
captain Peter Schmeichel will miss Wednesday's European Cup clash against
Monaco on Wednesday after tearing his hamstring in bizarre circumstances
against Arsenal on Saturday.

Schmeichel, who minutes earlier had conceded the only goal of the English
premier league game, raced upfield in the closing stages of the match to
join the United attack at a corner.

After the ball was cleared he stayed in the Arsenal goalmouth waiting for a
second cross into the box but when that was cleared by the Arsenal defence
he raced back to his own goal.

He got as far as the halfway line before pulling up clutching his leg.

United manager Alex Ferguson said afterwards: "There was nothing wrong with
Peter coming up for the corner, he has often done that before when we have
been losing.

"But his mistake was staying in the box for the second ball. When they
broke, he had to chase back and although he's a fast, fit player, he pulled
his hamstring. The injury is likely to keep him out for five weeks and he is
definitely out of Wednesday's match against Monaco. It is a blow for us,
there is no doubt about that."

United's reserve goalkeeper Raimond Van der Gouw, the veteran Dutch
international, will replace the Dane in goal for Wednesday's European Cup
game which is crucial after the first leg in Monaco last week ended 0-0.
