So instead, I will offer Mr Shewry's programmes to anyone who can guess how much it cost, as advertised in the Chelsea v Charlton Athletic programme of 5 April 1947, to travel to Stamford Bridge "by motor coach from Richmond". I'm looking for the estimate nearest to the correct return fare, and don't forget, you younger readers, that it was some years before decimalisation. Ferguson said: "Middlesbrough have been up and down, but they are a difficult team to play against. But I don't think that's going to be a long-term problem for the boy."United travel to the Riverside this afternoon knowing a victory is vital before meeting Chelsea at Old Trafford a week tomorrow.
It's difficult to compare his style to anybody, but he's a bloody goalscorer, there's no doubt about that He's a clever player, with a quick, quick brain. When Paul Scholes was a kid, he was similar to Rossi, but they are different players."Giuseppe's problem at the moment is that he has two formidable players in front of him in Rooney and Van Nistelrooy, and Louis Saha will also be back soon. He has a good, cold mind in the box and he showed that with his goal against Barnet. The New York-born Italian marked his senior debut as a substitute at Sunderland earlier this month with his first United goal and scored again on his full debut during the midweek Carling Cup victory against Barnet at Old Trafford. While Ferguson concedes that his heavy artillery of Rooney and Van Nistelrooy will return in place of the former Parma prodigy at Middlesbrough this evening, he is convinced that Rossi has the potential to challenge his first-choice strikers.Ferguson said: "We have good hopes for Rossi He's a goalscorer and he has a fantastic temperament Nothing fazes him. Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to reward the progress of teenage striker Giuseppe Rossi by handing the 18-year-old the chance to prove he can compete with Wayne Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy for a first-team place at Manchester United. The big belief has gone because they could not win those two games so there is a little hope there."And in a reference to Jose Mourinho's claim Chelsea had drawn and not lost on Wednesday, he added pithily: "When you are out of the Cup you lose. You can say you didn't actually lose but you are out and the train goes on without you."Which north London team is on the right track will become a little clearer today..
You can say a lot more after 10 more games."Wenger can also say a lot after all the trophies he has collected for Arsenal. "Spurs might have to wait a bit longer to start [winning trophies]," he says "It is very difficult. You have to be able to beat Chelsea, Man United and Arsenal and that's very difficult."You need the quality first and then have to overcome a psychological barrier And only time will tell whether they have that quality. I suppose many Tottenham supporters expect this game to show their potential Our supporters may be worried by that. That is why it is so interesting."In the meantime, Wenger took a look at Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Everton last weekend and defeat on penalties at home to Charlton in the Carling Cup and drew some comfort."The whole Premier League needs that hope [from those results]. Although five places separate the two clubs they are only three points in arrears with a game in hand "It's a pack there between second and 12th You cannot say one team has the upper hand Win one game you're second, lose one you're 12th You cannot come to any conclusions after nine games.
