In recent weeks there has been a lot of speculation stating that Manchester United Boss Sir Alex Ferguson will be stepping down and making way for a new manager.

As we are all aware this is going to happen in around one or two seasons time as the boss is close to retirement however many say he is waiting until he wins the Premier league and Champions league one more time.

A list of great managers has already been put in circulation such as Jose Muriniho, Fabio Capello to Martin O’Neil and David Moyes.

Sir Alex has stated that he has no intentions on quitting yet as he is still enjoying the job and handling the pressure well.

The Manchester Derby is here again and i have to say for the first time in my life i am kind of worried about the result as a Manchester United fan. It is true to say that Manchester City have been in fine form of recent weeks with their coach putting them through their paces with double training sessions ahead of the big game.

This game has importance for both teams as united are trying to close the gap on Chelsea with on a win being enough to stand any chance and City chasing the final fourth spot to guarantee European football.

Either way the game is going to be very close however i think City have the fire power over us and could roll United over if not on top form.

With the end of the season drawing ever so close the race for top four spots it heating up but the interest does not lie with the top three team as we are all aware that these are going to consist of Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.

Everyone is now interested who is going to take that final fourth spot and get European football next season. Currently sat there is Manchester City who are in good form at the moment and have to be the bookies favourites however the interest comes with position fourth to seventh only being two points between each team and so with a good run in the up and coming games could see any of these teams take the fourth spot.

I know what you are thinking that this may be a harsh statement to make but many will be agreeing that the dismissal of Rafeal cost Manchester United the game.

United where rampant right from the start with two goals under 10 minutes and many included myself thought that this was going to be a roll over on the Germans but boy was we wrong.

I always knew with the like of Robben, Olic and Ribbery that Bayern Munich had goals in them and that it would be hard for them to finish the game without getting on the score sheet.

After Rafeal playing so well the first half he picked up his first yellow card and five minutes into the second half he picked up his second, I felt the Ref could of gave him a talking to but it was a second yellow and he was off.

This lead to the pressure and with Rooney nowhere near on form Bayern got them self’s back into the game and with a wonderful strike from Robben but an end to United’s chances of progression.

Saturday 3^rd April, saw David Haye defeat opponent John Ruiz in a sell out crowd of 20,000 in Manchester.

Many had stated that Haye was not looking his best in the build up to the fight and that he had put more weight on but for we know this could of been tactics as when he came to the weighing he looked just as good.

The fight was a great spectacle in which was largely dominated with Haye flooring Ruiz many of us thought this was going to be a quick fight but Ruiz showed good resilience and was focused on the task ahead.

In the end Haye proved too quick and powerful for his opponent in which his team ended up throwing in the towl.
