Oh My.... Val about to pitch a trouser tent ...try to control yourself ... Champion league first and AC Milan 2 Man Utd 3, out with the old and in with the new, the contrast could not have been more stark between Wayne Rooney clinically taking apart a Milan that clearly had no answers for his devastating style of finishing, and David Beckham whose most memorable contribution to this champions league encounter was his ?face furniture? with a heavy emphasis on the ?fur?, there were times I?d wish that posh had just run one of her bic?s across the footballer's latest style statement while asleep, nothing wrong with a beard in the right hands but the Beckham pelt looks like one of the sleeve?s of grandfathers moth eaten camel hair coat that had broken out of the loft and has taken residence on Beckham ?mooey?, I swear I had caught sight of similar emerging from some hut in Tibet, my Dad tried a beard on once, and it had all the esthetical appeal of carrying out a conversation with king kongs arm pit.

Oh well I have a feeling Beckham is hankering for a contract with a popular shaving cream company....But this was not the only illusion that seemed to irritate, Beckhams creaking legs had him rooted to the spot in dead ball situations like some waxwork dummy, surely Fabio Capello will take heed. On the other hand Rooney heading for a season best taking his Goal tally to 25 has brought United the advantage on the second leg ..

Premier League and Saturdays fixtures, Arsenal v Sunderland, 15:00....easy one for Kayoko ...Everton v Man Utd, 12:45, Portsmouth v Stoke, 17:30, West Ham v Hull, 15:00, Wolverhampton v Chelsea, 15:00 ....And Val I would never be seen dead in Uggs
