Haha, Gary is a bit too old and slow now, especially to play against Barcelona! He'll be watching with the rest of us and cheering whoever replaces him in the team, whether it's Rafael or Fabio. They both play like him so they are worthy replacements! I'm very nervous about Saturday but it's great to see we have some Italian friends supporting us!

Hi guys, I'm sorry this post is in English, I don't speak Italian but wanted to pass on some words to you guys, hopefully it can be translated by someone! I was at the game earlier and it was a lot of fun for obvious reasons from the point of view of a Manchester United fan, seeing Gary for the last time, plus Beckham, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt and so forth alongside the current stars like Anderson, Rooney and Rafael, not to mention Giggs and Scholes! However, it was also a pleasure to see some of your stars, in particular Del Piero, who everyone who knows anything about football recognises as an absolute legend and a class act. It was unfortunate he didn't score (although he nearly scored a beautiful one in the first half!) but his influence was apparent and even now he's fantastic to watch, a real master. I know your club isn't what it once was for a variety of reasons, of no fault of the players, but I consider Juventus to be one of the European giants alongside United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Ajax, Inter Milan and so forth. Just look at some of your players from recent history, in my lifetime I've been fortunate enough to have seen the likes of the aforementioned Del Piero, Thuram, Zidane, Nedved, Buffon, Inzaghi and so forth. Every club goes through dips and I have no doubt that one day Juve and Manchester United will meet again in the Champions League, just like we did in those epic matches in 1999, . Gary Neville is a real Manchester United fan, a fan who did what we all dream of at United by wearing that shirt for 20 years, and he knows what you guys mean to the world of football. Part of the reason why Manchester United are going to a European cup final on Saturday is because of teams like Juventus raising the bar many years ago. We try to remember our history at United, particularly our big European nights, and you guys certainly have provided some of our most memorable battles. Thanks to all of you guys.
