  Fergie already checks out Lille
  
  
  
  Sir Alex Ferguson enjoyed a spying mission on Manchester United's UEFA Champions League opponents Lille last weekend. United will play the French side in the second round of the competition, having been beaten by Lille in the tournament last year.
  
  Revenge is likely to be in the air at Old Trafford and United secretary Ken Merrett revealed Ferguson watched Lille against St Etienne on Sunday. "Strangely enough, he (Ferguson) saw Lille play against St Etienne and said what a good, strong, athletic side they were," Merrett told Sky Sports News.
  
  "It's maybe not quite as much relief, as at this stage you are going to have a tough draw. "We must fancy our chances and we're playing well, that's the important thing." Merrett believes the disappointment of 12 months ago will act as a spur against Lille, particularly given the improvement in United's form.
  
  He added: "It was very disappointing last year. We only drew at Old Trafford with Lille and didn't do very well when we played away. "With the team playing well, and the players have improved since last year, we are more positive."
  
  Lille play their home games away from their own Metropole ground, but Merrett does not see that as an inconvenience for Claude Puel's club. He continued: "The thing is they played all of the group stage away from Lille and still qualified, so it's not made a big impact on them wherever they play.
  
  "From United's point of view, we've got to get a result against them away and do the business at Old Trafford, which we didn't do last time."

  Why had happened to my reply, eh?
  
  Can someone tell me, please....
  
  For your information, C0CK of the NORTH means ROOSTER of the North. Manchester United is in the north-west of England & we do call them by that. Even, my 50 years old aunty sings a folkie song, called C0CK of the NORTH...
  
  Plus, this is what Stretford end supporters sing at OT...
  
  We are the Pride of all Europe,
  The C0ck o' the North.
  We hate the Scousers, and C0ckneys of course...And Leeds!
  We are United without any doubt,
  We are the Manchester boys,
  La la la la... Oooh!

  Piss me off, too...
  
  Manchester United has/MUST play like they play in this season premiership (for eg. against Bolton, City, Boro - ehmm.... not against chelski, reds could do better that day!). The last match against benfica was a bit pathetic in the first 20minutes... I was soaking in the rain but it was worth the while then...
  
  So, United has to go strong facing Lille & we can do it.... I have faith in them... Come on boys...

  I don't think anyone got an easy game.
  
  don't you think Porto doesn't want to prove that without the great one, they can do something special??
  
  fortunaely, all english teams are playing away first and then back home.
  for that chelsea got advantage, they got a fortress there.
  
  luckily, Chelsea did not meet some russian teams, cause if then, half the world would have known the result.

  Agree!
  
  Not even West Ham, you saw how Reading and Sunderland(last season) manage to draw with Man Utd?
