Your Loyal Servant

I see that hot from his return from holiday Sir Alex is up to his old tricks.

Apparently Chelsea do not pose a threat to him as they are all 'ageing'!

Interesting if what I read somewhere else is true, that the average age of the both squads is the same at 29!

His comments about Wayne Rooney are also illuminating. I wonder if they are indicative of a strategy to lower the profile of Mr Ronaldo and raise that of a player who is not only very talented, but has shown great loyalty to his team.

I've a hunch that whilst a pragmatist, loyalty is a quality the Scotsman admires.
