James07? Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Mark is doing a 4 day trip (Mon-Thurs). Mum and Dad are already booked up. I'm very tempted, though Munich is the semis would be a better (and safer) trip. I couldn't do all 3 aways. But, I don't want to do what I've done on 3 of the last 4 years and pass on a knock-out game expecting the next trip to be a better one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 VERY happy with that Not because I think Roma are easy or anything, they're not, but I really wanted to avoid the other English teams, so dodging them in both the QF's and potential semis is a great result.

James07? Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Milan really isn't too bad. Although it might be a bit different if we've just knocked them out. If anything Juve in 99 was the least barmy of all our visits there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Reds receive injury boost United were given a major lift on Friday morning with the news that the injuries sustained by Louis Saha and Darren Fletcher are not as serious as first feared. Saha, who pulled up with a tight hamstring in training earlier this week, was looking at a month-long lay-off, while an ankle ligament problem looked to have curtailed Darren Fletcher’s involvement in the current campaign. However, Saha is now likely to return against Blackburn at the end of the month, and will be joined by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who had a minor operation to clear up his knee. Fletcher, who had been expected to miss two months of action, is now likely to be back in a few weeks. "For a couple of days I was starting to think that the roof was falling in on top of us," admitted Sir Alex Ferguson at his Friday press briefing. "But things are looking much brighter now. "Darren's injury is not bad as we first thought. He could be back in a few weeks. The news is very good on Louis Saha and we expect him to be back to face Blackburn, along with Ole Solskjaer. So things are looking up." Mikael Silvestre, however, will unavailable for a few weeks after dislocating his right shoulder in the win over Lille. "We're delighted nothing was broken, but Mikael will still be out for a few weeks," confirmed Sir Alex. "We'll be monitoring him to see how things are progressing." Alan Smith, who came on as a substitute against Lille during midweek, will be involved for the Reds in the FA Cup quarter-final clash with Middlesbrough on Saturday tea-time. "He enjoyed a good work out against Lille," said Sir Alex. "He'll definitely figure against Middlesbrough. "The loss of Henrik Larsson after the Cup game is a big loss. But as one player leaves, it provides an opportunity for someone else, such as Alan. "For the last three or four months I've had to tell five or six players every week that they wouldn't be playing. It kills you at times because you're talking about some fantastic footballers. "You feel for them because they're no able to contribute to a good spell of football for the team. But I don't have that problem for a couple of weeks now." </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Good news \o/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
