Our manager has been at the club for 5 season now (appointed June 2006). The scary thing is how those 5 years don't seem to be that much, yet there are only 7 current managers in the league who have been at their club for longer. That's an amazing statistic really, only 5 managers from 92 clubs have been given more than 5 years at their club!!

Edit: Jaysus! Get this too, average durations for managers in the league:
Barclays Premier League 3.58
npower Championship 1.54
npower League One 1.65
npower League Two 1.68

Across all leagues for the last 5 seasons the average is 1.90!!!

Only Sir Alex and Arsene Wenger take that Premier League Average up as well.

Sir Alex about 24 years and Arsene about 14 or 15.

Ancelotti sacked by Chelsea, eventhough he won the double last year and finished 2nd this year

They misstook him for Capello

OK . . . .
Barca or ManU.

I'm going for Barca and also expect a good fight from Rooney and his gang.

It should be fun . . . we hope!

What odds that Rooney is sent off.

Barcelona will dominate possesion what ever, and Rooney will run and chase and get really frustrated and end up kicking out at someone.

As for the game, I want Man U to win as an Englishman, but I love the way Barcelona play and if they perform like they can, they will win and I won't be sad about it.

Above all I am a Football fan and really the best team should win, and I think they will.

I want Barca to win. I love the way that they play and I'm more a fan of good football than I am a patriot. I won't begrudge United the victory though, they're also an exciting team to watch and far better that they win it than Chelsea or Real.

Good luck to Torquay as well in a more important game than the CL Final, the L2 playoff final. Never really liked Stevenage and TUFC coming up would mean a local game (easy to get to) and Plymouth Argyle being a league below both of their Devon rivals

I just wish it will be a great and exciting match with the best side to win

[Brown, Jon Brow]

If Scholes starts I might watch from behind the sofa incase he gets a red card.

nice match so far... pretty footie, no dirty fouls, no acting... shame about Giggs not being called offside

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Barca should be 3-1 up at half-time. But Man Utd are still in it. A very watcheable match. Reminds me of the Arsenal v Barcelona earlier in the competion.
