Barcelona V United. And the winner is…
I am of course assuming that the champions league final will be contested between these two giants of world football, but then why not, I can’t see either teams progression to the final being halted by anyone. It would make for a fitting final, the best team in Spain against the best team in England.
So here’s the Alternative Team of Year; a team of the underperforming, the overpaid, the disliked, the overpriced, and the overrated.
Roberto Mancini is a huge admirer of Udinese’s Alexiz Sanchez and City have been heavily linked with the 22-year old, who has also caught the eye of Inter Milan.
Teen sensation Jack Wilshire has been linked with a double your money move to rivals Manchester City in a reported £40million move.
With Manchester United’s No1 retiring at the end of the season, United have been linked with a host of top goalies across Europe. It finally looks like United have found their man.
Liverpool kept their Europa League hopes alive with a comprehensive 3-0 win over a lacklustre Manchester City side at Anfield last night.
What a job Roy Hodgson has done, it was only a few months ago he was under intense pressure at Liverpool, his stress levels were raising the roof. He was then relieved of his duties before becoming manager of strugglers West Bromwich Albion in a relegation dog fight.
The title says it all, I am sure you have all heard jokes like “What have Spurs and Heather Mills got in common?” “A pointless 2nd leg”, but stranger things have happened.
