You have to prove you’re the best in your own country for any European title to prove anything.Sir Alex Ferguson is eager to win another European Cup, reiterating the point several times that a club of United’s size should have more than two winning seasons in the competition. He therefore took a gamble when we travelled to Stamford Bridge a few weeks ago, playing a weakened team, with the hope of preventing a Chelsea victory. Had it not been for a penalty four minutes from time, this gamble would have paid off.Ferguson said the reason behind his team selection was that he felt our players deserved the strongest chance possible to get their place in the final Playing Barcelona days later meant we had to be fresh. We had to win that game to go to Moscow.Several sources said his team selection pointed to Fergie’s desire to win the European Cup being stronger than winning the league. Maybe that is the case, but none of us can judge that but Fergie himself.Before kick off against Chelsea, Ferguson had to be confident that even in the face of defeat we would go on to win the league with victories over West Ham and Wigan. However, a defeat against Barcelona meant we wouldn’t win the Champions League.Regardless, we did win the league and we did book our place in the Cup final, but what effect has our title win had on the team.

Petr Cech says it could make us complacent, whilst Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez argue missing out on the league will make Chelsea more anxious. Who’s right?“Football is sometimes a game with no logic,” said Cech. “Having won the title, you would say it was a big boost for them because they finished above us and celebrated But that can be destructive. When you know you’ve won something you can relax more because in the back of your mind you have already succeeded. Maybe they will be more relaxed and this could be the advantage for us because we have to remember the feeling of going so close and ending up so disappointed.”Rooney has spoken of his great excitement ahead of the final, claiming that we will be more relaxed, but that’s an advantage over the nervous Chelsea. “We will be bit a bit more relaxed with the Premier League in the bag and they might be anxious if they don’t win anything,” he said “It’s a horrible feeling waiting for the final. I’d like to go to bed tonight and wake up on Wednesday.

It’s a bit like Christmas when you’re a kid, so I just can’t wait.”Carlos Tevez has claimed we are a better side than Chelsea, and that the fact their whole season hangs on the Cup final, that the pressure will be on them. “We are a better side than Chelsea and that is a psychological problem for them,” Tevez said. “They may say that the Premier League is another story but we are convinced it will have an impact on what happens We are favourites and everyone knows it We are not worried by Chelsea “We are concentrated and focused. But for them it is different, this is more than a final for them. Their whole season rests on this game and I am convinced they could have some problems. They need to win to avoid a season without a trophy so the pressure on them will be huge. We have no extra pressure.”Who do you think is right?”Are We Complacent Or Is The Pressure On Chelsea?” was originally published at The Republik of Mancunia.

KATHMANDU (Reuters) – A Nepali telecom firm plans to expand its mobile phone services to the top of Mount Everest, benefitting climbers on the world’s highest mountain, a company official said on Thursday. TechnologyHundreds of climbers, who go to the 8,850 meter (29,035 feet) Mount Everest every year, depend on expensive satellite phones to speak with their families as the remote Himalayan region does not have communication facilities.”We are going to set up mobile towers in Thakdin, Manjo, Pheriche and Gorak Shep, which will bring the summit of Mount Everest within the network coverage,” Anoop Ranjan Bhattarai, director of the satellite service wing of Nepal Telecom, said.Gorak Shep, in the Solukhumbhu region, is located near the base camp of Mount Everest. “A mobile tower at Gorak Shep will provide connectivity to climbers at the top,” Bhattarai said, adding the firm hoped to finish the work by mid-June.Annual monsoon rains normally start in mid-June after which transportation of equipment along the hilly trails becomes difficult.(Reporting by Gopal Sharma; Editing by Bappa Majumdar and Sanjeev Miglani) Technology. The thoughts that ran threw the mind of LeBron James after the 97-92 loss to the Boston Celtics must have been many:“We lost”“Should have had the ball in my hands more”However, as he bowed his head and made a quick exit to the locker room only one thought I believe stuck “what else do I have to do?”After the game, King James made his usual press conference appearance where he showed maturity, giving props to Paul Pierce and the Boston Celtics. I couldn’t help noticing that his head was just not there.Now, Lebron James has to wait months for the season to begin. And, it’s rumored he will begin pondering whether he should stay with the Cleveland Cavaliers or not. On the outskirts of the New York, Lebron frenzy lays quietly beside a Destiny’s Child.Hip hop mogul and Brooklynite, Jay-Z, is expected to represent the Nets in the draft and ruin the plans of Donnie Walsh.Sean Carter and LBJ, two kings in their own category have become great friends and with the possible re-location to Brooklyn, James may be rethinking the white, orange, and blue for the gray, red, and white.However, has anyone really thought if Lebron is the best option for the New York Knicks?Besides money, fame, and the obvious transformation into a powerful Eastern Conference team distraction and mayhem are part of the New York Knicks’ package.This may be too much for a player coming into his 4th season. In addition, other blue-chip players of the league are planning to part from their teams giving the Knicks much more options to choose from!This being said – the only reason acquiring the Akron native becomes a think piece is the grand amount of blue-chip players who are set to leave their teams in the 2010 season.Even though a large amount of these players will be held back by opt-outs and contract extensions-the list includes Rip Hamilton, Kobe Bryant, Amare Stoudemire, Manu Ginobili, Dirk Nowitzki, Carlos Boozer, and others.Talented crop of players!Ladies and gentleman! A bidding war awaits us….
