On the Eve of the new Season...

Gabby Heinze v Man Utd!!!! The United supporters normally give ex-players a very warm welcome back to OT but I think this may be different considering the circumstances in his leaving.....and trying to finagle a move to Pikeypool!

You can still see Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro, Busquets, Villa, Puyol and Pique, more than 50% of the team that won the World Cup, and that was not Spain.

my bad if what i said came across like i wasn't interested in seeing this game...be sure i'll be there, but it's true that not seeing messi for barça and hernandez for united takes the star power of the game a notch down...

i'll go if i can get cheap tickets

One of these kids is not like the others...

[Frank Gallagher]

I'd have to say 2 of these kids are not like the others. Ronaldo and Owen don't qualify as United greats in my eyes.....
