Olympique Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas feels Karim Benzema is an outsider at Real Madrid.

Benzema returns to Lyon tonight for their Champions League clash.

"He's a bit isolated in the galaxy of Madrid.

He needs a more personal touch from the coach and with his teammates to gain confidence," said Aulas.

"It is difficult to do this in a galaxy of stars where there are personal relationships, but Karim needs this because he is young and comes from another environment, another country ...

I saw him in Madrid and he's living in a house alone, without furniture ..."

The Premier League are reportedly considering a proposal to introduce a play-off for the fourth Champions League spot.

It has been proposed that only the first three be decided on league position and the fourth place be determined by a play-off.

As ever, the Football Supporters' Federation have produced a guide for travelling United fans in Europe. With this week's game against AC Milan stirring a lot of interest in the press, we've got the low-down on the city and the team for all those heading out to Milan (or those who are just a bit curious).

I will probably get flamed for this one as well but that's life.
You have to stand up for what you believe in, no matter what.

Now the other day I wrote my feelings about MY REASON not to wear Green & Gold,

which quite obviously a lot of people didn't like, hey ho again that's life(you can't be liked by everyone, right?)

Again these were MY feelings and I wasn't out to convince anyone else what they should or should not do? That was quite basically their choice.

But now it seems to have rattled a few cages that someone, dares to speak against

them, this is being proved by the constant activities of certain individuals, whose incessant bickering and petty arguments are starting to get noticed by other guys and gals who were actually on their side but because they have been seen to abuse people for their right of speech, are now having second thoughts.

Some have even said quite clearly and I quote " I will have nothing more to do with people who cannot accept that others have an opinion" and " i am not liking what i am seeing, they are bullies" too many to mention right now.

The point to this, why don't some of you just simply accept not everyone thinks like you, the world would be pretty damn boring if they did, lets be honest here, myself and others don't actually like the way this is going, so we stand apart from that and its that simple, freedom of choice still stands in our world and as long as that does, we have that right.


Right lets move on to the next argument,which seems to be a problem for those same people too, now i have put together a petition,

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/red-army/


only asking for some honest answers from Manchester United, so that we the fans, can get a better picture of whats actually going on, within the club, nothing more than that, its just a way of possibly finding out the security of the club now, hey it might not ever get sent, who knows we might not get enough signatures or someone will buy out the club, problem solved etc, so what real harm can it do to try?


You would think I had declared war or something? OMG its just a petition, just words that might amount to nothing but NO, are these same people now threatened by that as well, because they say you should sign this petition and become a member of this organistion and my answer to them on that is, yes i signed the other one and joined the organisation a long time ago as well, my point to this, the more we do, the more reaction has to come back somewhere, so if there is a hundred petitions all with different reasons and we sign them all, great an effect has been created,
so why is this any different? because the petty minded individuals only want themselves to be noticed and dont want anyone else stealing their thunder,or is it more simpler than that? Is it just basically that i upset a few people the other day and now in their eyes this is payback? crazy really, considering we are all on the same side right?
