I pick up how the players are based on articles from the man utd website as well as other sites. Also, get info from forums re: people meeting them and other stuff and then I put two and two together. Not entirely accurate but I could probably give good descriptions of most of the players in the first team.

Same thing happened to Chris Coleman.

Thats hardly conclusive I'm afraid, and the last sentence of that makes no sense at all.

Read it again then. I know it's not conclusive. I said that also.

The draw in full:
Celtic v Barcelona
Lyon v Manchester United
Schalke v Porto
Liverpool v Inter
Roma v Real Madrid
Arsenal v Milan
Olympiacos v Chelsea
Fenerbahce v Sevilla
Fancy quite a comfortable passage for united. Braca just to shade Celtic. Schalke should have no problems. Liverpool because there obviously aiming to win over the Premiership. Real Madrid doesn't need an explanation. Arsenal v Milan should be close but if Arsenal strike top form I fancy them. Chelsea have the easy draw hopefully they can screw it up and Sevilla could be the surprise team to go a long way this season imo.

Wafer-thin Cup draw:
Aberdeen (the only proper dons left, Scot) v Bayern München (der Kaiser möchtet einen Titel, Ger)
AEK (of Athine, Gre) v Getafe (Miraculix assistant, Spa)
Bolton (the managing merry-wander-around, Eng) v Atlético Madrid (overfunded, yet not quite as lavishly as Real, Spa)
Zenit Sankt-Peterburg (Gazprom FC 1, Рос) v Villarreal (no more Forlan, Spa)
Galatasaray SK (oh, look, there are other vowels in the alphabet, Tur) v Bayer 04 Leverkusen (Medizin SV, Ger)
Anderlecht (we were good when Nottingham Forest won the European Cup, Bel) v Bordeaux (yay, we won the French Mickey Mouse cup, Fra)
SK Brann (Bergen Fire, Nor) v Everton (we all hate the Reds, Eng)
FC Zürich (financial town FC, Swi) v Hamburgers SV (McDonalds Sportsverein, Ger)
Glasgow Rangers (Protestants FC, Sco) v Panathinaikos (All Athens Club, Gre)
PSV Eindhoven (Phillips SV, Ned) v Helsingborgs IF (Larssons IF, Swe)
Slavia Praha (Šmicer is 34 and don't forget our nation is a republic, Cze Rep) v Tottenham Hotspur (srsly, does anyone ever use spurs any more, Eng)
Rosenborg (Trondheim's castle of no more roses anymore, Nor) v Associazione Calcio Fiorentina e Florentia Viola (we went bankrupt and had to change our name, only nobody cares, Ita)
Sporting Clube de Portugal (there's no Lisbon in the club name ffs, Por) v FC Basel 1893 (an Aussie is our best player and we still beat Brann, Swi)
Werder Bremen (most consistent and dull club in Deutschland, Ger) v S. C. Braga (we haven't won a single thing since 1966, Por)
S. L. Benfica (24 titles is more than 21 titles, Por) v Erster FC Nürnberg (the trials of losing a doggone good goalherder, Ger)
Olympique de Marseille (we haven't had any money since we fixed matches, Fra) v Spartak Moskva (the gladiators, Rus)
The Everton v Brann thing should be good, if Brann manage to get fit by that time. Everton clearly favourites though, 92-8 I reckon.

Heard on the commentary that Manuel Almunia will soon be able to qualify for England and switching loyalties to playing for England rather then Spain. David Platt and somebody else were commentating for the match.
For starters I'm not sure when Almunia does qualify and if Capello does deem him good enough, not that any English fans can really complain since it appears it is law to pick cricket and rugby teams with players born elsewhere (how many players come from either South Africa or the Caribbean?) IMO.
