From the riches at his disposal Sir Alex Ferguson selected Andy Cole to partner Ruud van Nistelrooy in attack, leaving Paul Scholes on the bench along with Nicky Butt and Mikael Silvestre.

It only emphasised that this was a contest between Champions League hopefuls and InterToto flops.

Hmm, the Guardian really seems like a paper that favours Newcastle.

The team that they played against us was as full strength as you can get. Andy Cole was in because he has a habit of scoring against us - unlike Scholes, who isn't a natural striker.

I've only ever bought the Guardian once, and it's safe to say I won't ever be buying it again

Sorry, that last post was meant to be sarcastic, but reading it through it doesn't sound like it. :)

"It only emphasised that this was a contest between Champions League hopefuls and InterToto flops"

And the InterToto flops won. Oh yes.
