1948: "I met Tuncay in Manchester today. What a nice guy. I also wished him the best of luck, as I'm a Liverpool fan."

1945: Right, I've called Fergie* and he has confirmed that Carlos Tevez has gone home to Argentina for a bit of family time.
* Not really.
1942: "Every time I think Fergie has lost the plot he proves me wrong with an awesome victory. No one will care about the omission of Tevez, Anderson and Nani come full-time. Probably..."

1939: "Re 1937: That's two things."
Las Salchichas on 606
Yes. That is true.
1937: Here's a thing: tonight's game pits the Premier League's most in-form team against its most out-of-form team (based on the last six games) as well as the youngest manager against the oldest. I don't need to tell you which is which do I?
1935: "Pulled a sicky at work to be here tonight. Come on Boro!"

1932: Anderson and Nani don't make the United squad either. What is going on? Hold on, I'll just phone me old mate Fergie and find out...
1928: Team news in full goes like this: Man Utd make four changes with Dimitar Berbatov, Michael Carrick, Park Ji-Sung and Rafael replacing Carlos Tevez, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville. Tevez does not even make the squad. Afonso Alves replaces Mido up front for Middlesbrough while David Wheater and Matthew Bates come into the defence.
1926: "Outside Old Trafford with high spirited Boro fans. Mboro have a good record here but they are low in confidence. It's freezing!!"

1922: TEAMS Man Utd v Middlesbrough
Man Utd: Van der Sar, Rafael Da Silva, Vidic, Evans, O'Shea, Park, Fletcher, Carrick, Ronaldo, Rooney, Berbatov. Subs: Kuszczak, Neville, Giggs, Scholes, Welbeck, Gibson, Possebon.
Middlesbrough: Turnbull, Bates, Riggott, Wheater, Pogatetz, Aliadiere, O'Neil, Arca, Downing, Sanli, Alves. Subs: Jones, Taylor, Emnes, Huth, Shawky, Porritt, Walker.
1919: Gareth Southgate seems to be the latest manager to fall foul of the fickle beast that is Premier League 08/09. All of a sudden, his Boro side are hovering dangerously above the drop zone. They'll be relieved they're at Old Trafford then, where they've only lost once in five visits.
1915: I don't know about you but it's only football that's getting me through the "bit between Christmas and New Year". Ooh, and Australia finally losing at cricket. That's been quite good too.
