Subject: Ferguson prepares to absorb capital punishment
Ian Whittell
Saturday August 21, 1999
Sir Alex Ferguson looked forward to tomorrow's Highbury showdown
and predicted another classic title race between Manchester
United and Arsenal. The campaign may only be three games old but
United's manager is already glancing towards the capital for the
main challengers in the Premiership. Although Ferguson is not
ruling out the wealthy foreign aristocrats at Chelsea, it is
Arsène Wenger's Arsenal that will again provide the major test
for United.
Ferguson goes into tomorrow's match having won only once in the
last nine league, cup and Charity Shield meetings with the
Gunners - and that courtesy of Ryan Giggs' astonishing
extra-time decider in last season's FA Cup semi-final.
But Ferguson denies that Arsenal hold a psychological edge over
his treble winners. "Any time a London team gets four good
results against us in a row, that's regarded as a triumph," he
said. "But I don't think there is any question of them having
anything over us. If there was, it would have manifested itself
in the semi-finals last year.
"But there is no doubt Arsenal have been the most consistent
challenger to us in the decade and that rivalry is what has made
it such a great league the last two years. They are certainly
going to be up there again this season, Chelsea also.
"The last one or two seasons, the title races have been tense,
and two of our five titles have come in the last game. It's such
a hard league, you wouldn't bet against it going to the last
game again this year.
"Arsenal have been our most consistent challengers. They have
won five trophies in the 90s, including the Double two years
ago. They have developed their game in different ways over the
last couple of years and a lot of that is down to the type of
players they have. Kanu coming in is going to mean they play
differently to how they did with Anelka."
Ferguson will resume efforts to complete a new signing before
the European deadline on August 31 - with a centre-half a
priority given long-term injuries to Ronny Johnsen, David May
and Gary Neville.
Ferguson said: "These injuries are a residue of last season.
Gary needs a good rest having played through his injuries last
season. Ronny had a 'cleaning-up' job done on his knee at the
end of last season but that just hasn't worked. We're reviewing
what we should do, whether we should operate or just put him
through rehab. We will probably make a decision in the next two
or three days but he could be out for three or four months."
United report no fresh injury problems although Mark Bosnich's
groin complaint rules him out of the Highbury game. His place
will go to Raimond van der Gouw as the only change to the
line-up that started last week's 2-0 win over Leeds United.

Arsenal team news:
Both Emmanuel Petit and Dennis Bergkamp picked up injuries
against Sunderland, and were withdrawn from their midweek
international squads to give them a chance. It is certain that
Manu will miss the game (although the long-to-middle-term
prognosis is much better than previously fearde - he may only
miss another week or so) but that there's a reasonable chance
Dennis will be fit.
There is some hope that Tony Adams may return for the next game
(Bradford), but no more than a very slim chance of his making
this one.
Nigel Winterburn was injured for Sunderland and replaced by
Silvinho at left back (and by Lee Dixon as captain), but is
expected to return this time. Silvinho may well move up into
midfield to take Marc Overmars place as the winger is still not
ready to return.
TeamTalk reckon David Seaman will return for this game. New boy
Davor Suker has his work permit now, and is fit. But sadly his
Croatian national team commitments will keep him busy and
there's no chance of him playing for us till Bradford.
Man Utd team news:
Keeper Mark Bosnich looks certain to miss the game. He sustained
a recurrence of a groin injury against Leeds last Saturday and
could be out for a month.
Ronny Johnson is out injured and facing a risky operation. The
best he can hope for is a return in the new year.
Wes Brown is also going to be out for a long time, and David May
has strained ligaments which'll keep him out for a month.
Gary Neville, who hasn't played since the Jampions League final,
will according to the official ManUtd site be training all week
and playing in a training match at the weekend. So presumably he
won't be fit for Sunday.
They also say that Jesper Blomqvist is "well on the road to
recovery" and that Beckham, Giggs, and Yorke will all be fit.
United's defensive problems have led to speculation in the press
that they'll be making a move for Villa's Ugo Ehiogu.

February 1958 which was the so-called 'Busby Babes' last game
before the Munich tragedy, and the 2-6 League cup defeat at
Highbury in 1990 a few weeks after the infamous 'Old Trafford
Brawl'.
That was only one of 3 domestic defeats suffered by Arsenal that
championship winning season, and came soon after Arsenal were
branded the greater villains during the brawl which my perhaps
clouded memory seems to recall was started when McLair and Irwin
laid into Winterburn with their boots as he lay on the ground.

Subject: United in for Barcelona's Bogarde?
United have reportedly been in talks with Barcelona today over
the possible pre-European deadline signing of Dutch defender
Winston Bogarde.
United scout Martin Ferguson together with football agent and
former Barca striker Steve Archibald have been in Spain to
define the Catalan club's asking price.
However, any potential deal appears to depend on whether they
can find a replacement for the ex-Ajax defender in the next week
or so.
Bogarde may be drafted into coach Louis van Gaal's starting
eleven for the opening match of the Spanish league season this
weekend because of a crippling injury and suspension list.
United need defensive cover quickly before the Champions' League
transfer deadline at the end of August but thankfully Jaap Stam
and Henning Berg both returned from midweek internationals
unscathed.

Subject: Villa's Gregory says NO GO UGO
ASTON Villa boss John Gregory insisted last night that he will
fight to stop in-demand defender Ugo Ehiogu moving to Manchester
United.
United manager Alex Ferguson has been watching Villa's former
England Under-21 skipper. But Gregory has no intention of
letting Ehiogu join former team-mates Dwight Yorke and Mark
Bosnich at Old Trafford.
Gregory said: "I just have to convince my Board that it is right
to leave millions of pounds worth of talent on the bench."

Subject: TEDDY DARLING OF THE STRETFORD END
Manchester United fans have finally taken Teddy Sheringham to their hearts
by voting him into top spot in a club popularity poll.
The England striker pulled in more votes than David Beckham, Andy Cole and
Jaap Stam to take the crown of United's most improved player in a poll run
by the club's official magazine.
It is a boost for Sheringham who bore the brunt of supporters' criticism two
seasons ago when United won nothing following the departure of Eric Cantona,
the player he was bought to replace.
There was some consolation for Beckham, voted Umbro player of the year,
while Ryan Giggs took the award for goal of the season following his
match-winning strike in the FA Cup semi-final replay against Arsenal.
The magazine gave an unwanted accolade to referee David Elleray, voting him
worst official to handle a United game.

Subject: JOHNSEN KNEE OP FEAR FOR UNITED
Sir Alex Ferguson will wait for a full assessment of Ronny
Johnsen's knee injury before deciding to plunge into the
transfer market.
The Manchester United manager is down to the bare bones
at the heart of his defence following the injuries to Johnsen,
Wes Brown and David May.
United's medical team are assessing Johnsen's injury and
they fear he may require surgery, which would rule him out
for the best part of the season.
If that is the case, Sir Alex is prepared to buy another
defender to provide cover for his backline.
Sir Alex will soldier on if Johnsen does not need an
operation because Gary Neville is due to play his comeback
game this weekend following his groin injury.
Sir Alex said: "We'll assess the situation because of Ronny
Johnsen. The latest on Ronny is that we are considering
whether an operation will be beneficial or whether we should
carry on with the remedial treatment.
"We've just got to wait and see what happens with Ronny
before I decide what to do."
United have already been linked with moves for Barcelona's
Winston Bogarde and Aston Villa's Ugo Ehiogu and Sir Alex
said: "There's always going to be speculation and we can't
do anything about that.
"If someone has a nose bleed there is speculation that we
are going to replace him.
"However we've got to look at it realistically and decide what
do we need in terms of our player pool because the
Champions League starts in just over a month's time."
