That’s probably about how bad he feels right now.
Wayne Rooney has been plagued by injuries all season and now that the season is nearly over we have more troubles for Rooney. Though he was just named the English FA Player of the Year he is not without worries. His groin injury has kept him out of action recently and United does not know if he will be able to return before the end of the season. Because of this there are some doubts about how fit he will be to perform in the World Cup in South Africa for Queen and Country of England. Read more...

With volcanic ash still spewing from the volcano in Iceland the skies over Europe are still cloudy, but airlines have run test flights and found no damage to their planes’ engines. This coupled with the ability to travel by train and ferry in Europe has caused UEFA to allow the matches in the Champion’s League on Tuesday and Thursday to go on as scheduled.
They are also trying to figure out what to do in the Europa League as they said in a statement: Read more... (325 words, 2 images, estimated 1:18 mins reading time)

![[Premier] Arsenal v Chelsea : 01](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3359/3644501659_d54d531f32_m.jpg)
With a Chelsea loss and a United win we have Chelsea with 77 points and United with 76 points. Now United has a chance–they are close and they need to keep closing. United has a chance to get closer with a slightly easier schedule than normal coming up–with the exception of Tottenham.
I think somehow they’re going to make this interesting because it seems that Chelsea is floundering at the wrong time and United is surging at the right time. With John Terry “off” again we all have to now wonder if I was wrong and all of Terry’s off-field troubles were too much for him and he simply can’t get it back together. Read more...

Now this might be shocking news to many myself included, but Real Madrid have recouped more than the 94 million Euros they spent to bring Cristiano Ronaldo to the Santiago Bernabeu. This is amazing considering they achieved this in only 9 months!
Apparently revenues from the sale of CR9 shirts have grossed over 100 million Euros. The bulk of these sales coming from Madrid which has reported over a million sales of the Portuguese’s flagship shirt brand. I have never truly believed in the concept of using celebrities to promote or create brand awareness until today. Read more... (215 words, 1 image, estimated 52 secs reading time)

This is going to be a sad building today.
I’ve bet on teams playing at home this season already. It hasn’t really worked out too well for me in the past and I’m going to learn from my mistakes and make this as clean and easy as possible.
Bayern has a 2-1 lead going to Old Trafford and United is hurting:
-No Wayne Rooney = bad news for United
-Bayern getting Arjen Robben back
-The fact that they’ve already summited this peak. Read more... (221 words, 2 images, estimated 53 secs reading time)

Rumours were rife ahead of this fixture that top scorer Wayne Rooney would get some playing time. That has however been ruled out. Man Utd will now have to rely on the likes of Antonio Valencia (who by the way was very impressive in the knockout stages), Berbatov, Nani, Park and Giggs.
United who are looking to erase memories of a terrible week, will have their work cut out for them as they entertain a full strength Bayern squad. Robben and Klose who missed the first leg due to injury are expected back in the squad to partner Ribery and Olic in what will be a killer attacking force. Read more...

After last night’s round of quarter final fixtures, Arsenal, Barcelona, Inter Milan and CSKA Moscow take to the pitch tonight in what is expected to be another fascinating night of football. Last night Bayern Munich beat Manchester United 2-1 at the Allianz Arena a remake of the final 11 years ago where Manchester beat Bayern with a similar score margin.
Tonight however, focus shifts to the most anticipated fixture of the quarter finals. Arsenal welcome reigning champions Barcelona to Emirates stadium. Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas remains a concern though. The Spanish international and playmaker is suffering from a leg injury that might keep him out of this crucial fixture. Read more...

Go ahead and assume the position gentlemen.
Today’s the day when our Quarterfinals legs begin in the Champion’s League. After all the conjecture and all the talk in the media about who fears who and who can take who we’re here.
Lyon and Bordeaux will easily be a hot match. They can put together something that will look epic and have us waiting for more come their second leg. (It should feel like the end of a movie when they set you up for a sequel.)
How do they do that? Read more... (372 words, 2 images, estimated 1:29 mins reading time)
