Loge Level

Greetings, today is all about lists, contracts, token rumor mention, its all Man United, here we go.

TOP 5

Apart from being knighted, winning the treble, and being Scottish, Sir Alex and myself are a lot alike, we both love “top 5” lists.  Ferguson named his all time top 5 “world class” players today. Names include Peter Schmeichel, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Roy Keane, and the great Eric Cantona.  It’s hard to argue with a list like that.  Think anyone got unfairly left out?  Post a comment on who and why you think they should be included.

Coming up the title chase heats up, lots of rumors and everything else Manchester United, here we go.

CHELSEA VS. NEWCASTLE

Chelsea keeps the title race tight with a win over Newcastle today.  Jose Mourinho really is an elite coach.  The move to bring Drogba and Makelele off the bench at halftime, utter brilliance.  Few coach’s have the foresight and timing to see world class players on the bench and decide to put them in, again, brilliant.  Anyway, Manchester United’s lead now stands at five points and they are even in games played.  All signs point to this race going down to the wire.

Because there is no real news today, I’m going to keep it short and sweet.

TIME OFF

After a demanding last couple of weeks, the team has been given three days off for rest this week.  I have been jaded a little by the Bengals, so keep an ear out for the police scanner, and hope no one gets arrested.

PROLOGUE

Welcome to the first installment of the of the Status Quo.  This blog will be a fan’s perspective of any and all things Manchester United.  This is my first such endeavor, so please bear with me.  Let’s get right into it…

DERBY DAY

Saturday marked the latest installment of the Manchester Derby with Manchester City visiting Old Trafford.  Wayne Rooney wasted no time and bagged a goal 6 minutes into the contest.  Louis Saha and Cristiano Ronaldo also joined in as United rolled to a 3-1 victory.  It’s always nice to get a win from a cross-town rival.
