Build up to the semis...
Did I mention how much I love Michael Carrick? Because he's so wonderful, and so intelligent and so forthright...like in this interview here.
So true, baby, let Barcelona do all the worrying. You just concentrate on playing well, and let everything sort itself out.
And, this just made want to squeeze him tight-
"I don't care what would make a nice final," he said.
"All I care about is Manchester United being in it and Manchester United winning it."
You totally rock, Mikey! Now lets show the world that we are the best!

Also, found this hilarious-
Ferguson amazed by squad's multicultural unity
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits the club's senior players play a major role in new signings settling at Old Trafford.
Fergie said: "I see them all sat at the table and we have Spanish, Argentinians, Brazilians, Portuguese, French, Dutch, Koreans and Serbians all communicating and understanding each other and laughing, and I say to myself why can't they understand me?
"They are going to Carlos Queiroz and asking 'Carlos, what does the boss say?' "It's amazing how they do it and fantastic to watch them - we should video it."
"Because of my time here and the presence of the older players, any new player quickly gets to know what I am about.
"For instance, a couple of players took my parking space. They came in the dressing room and the other players said 'You'd better get that car moved or you're in trouble!'"
*laughs* Our team is just awesome!

Also, since when did Rafa become so hilarious too? This is what he had to say on Stevie's neck injury-
The other day, he wanted to play but he was only able to look to the right, so I told him he could play as a left winger! We'll see if he can turn his head round and look the other way now.
"We will talk together, with the doctor. The player will say he wants to play, but there's an easy way of finding out whether he's fit. I will come up and tap him on the left shoulder and if he turns to face me without any pain, we will know he can play."
LOL! Now I'm definitely convinced that he'll be fine for tomorrow. Thank God, it would be awful if he had to miss it. Can't wait for the game! It will probably be very tactical, but I think Liverpool will go for it too. I'm confident they'll score a few and keep a clean sheet. That should be enough to take them through.
As for Wednesday, well, I have no clue what is going to happen. I'm very nervous, because almost all the papers have us down as favorites, and I would much prefer the underdogs tag. But it will be a wonderful spectacle, I wouldn't want to miss it for anything in the world!
