In my 20 years in football, I was fortunate enough never to have experienced relegation. And while there is the pressure of expectations at the top of the league, at the bottom it comes in fear and trepidation, which is almost worse.
Something interesting has happened over the last 10 years in the Premier League. Players who once would have been discarded as expensive and too old have become important parts of title-winning squads.
I would have been about seven years old when the formative years of my competitive football education began. I was playing in the local leagues around Manchester, playing against lads from tough areas who had been taught they had to fight for everything.
One year's poor form remains a blip but if it happens next year, you can say it's a trend.
There are only four trophies available to win at the start of every season and there will be some big teams this year who won't win one at all.
It was like he was being controlled by a 10 year-old on a PlayStation.
I've not got a definite team in my mind with all that is happening here at the moment,
We should have been three or four up at half time.
My brother always celebrates like that when we beat Liverpool. It means a lot to him and I think people should just let it go.
I think he's a special talent. I thought there were glimpses of brilliance before Christmas but after that he has shown everyone at United that he's going to be a world-class player.
We get too carried away by shouts from the crowd. What do you expect?
He's a fantastic player but I've played against him in training every day this season.
I don't think it is right for us at Manchester United to be talking about winning the European Cup. Over the last few years we have slipped a noose round our own necks by consistently saying we have to win the Champions League because we have not won it since 1999. What we should be doing is concentrating on the Premiership.
Ole will receive the most incredible reception that any player has ever had in the history of this club.
