Footy: Lock, Stock & Barrel

To make a few things clear - I'm a die hard Manutd fan and NO I'm not a glory hunter. I've been supporting Manutd for as long as I can remember (around 7 years. EPL wasn't telecast live then!)

A majority of my posts will involve Manutd, but not ALL. I'll try my best and be as unbiased as possible. My other favourite clubs are Real Madrid & A.C.Milan (I'd hate to see Kaka go) My favourite players are Paul Scholes, Wayne Rooney & Steven Gerrard (if only he was not a Scouser) & my favourite players WERE Eric Cantona, Jaap Stam, Peter Schmeichel, Dennis Bergkamp & David Beckham!

I'd like to kick start my footy blog with some brilliant quotes from 2008 :
