I watched some of the highlights and we certainly should of have had at least one penalty but I just dont understand Fergie's choice for the starting line up.

Scott

you mean the fault on Park ? that was definitely a penalty

Yea the foul on Park by Capdeville I think it was, was a stick on penalty, but some you get some you dont. Its the best of start and it now means that we really need a win against Aalborg to get our foot in the door of this group because the tougher games are to come, especially the double header against Celtic

I'm wondering how much longer Thierry Henry's going to be in the Gillette commercials with Tiger Woods & Roger Federer. They're legends of their sport while Henry seems to be about the fifth best player in his position on his team. Barcelona started Eto'o & Messi against Betis yesterday and sent on Bojan & Gudjonsson as substitutes while Henry stayed on the bench twiddling his thumbs and contemplating his razors. I think he's going to be advertising Bic before too long.
