Cantona, Sir Bobby follow Scholes out of retirement?
Fergie: Don't worry Paul - you won't be the oldest in my team by February!
Hours before the weekend's Mancunian derby,
Manchester United dropped a bombshell by revealing that manager Sir Alex
Ferguson had dragged Paul Scholes out of retirement to aid his midfield
crisis.
Despite a couple of shaky moments, the 37-year-old debutant looked good on the ball, and showcased the same tenacity that defined his career during his first stint.

Apparently fed up with his youthful side's
anaemic performances, Ferguson is looking to bring club legends Eric
Cantona and Sir Bobby Charlton's back to Old Trafford.
With Wayne Rooney's form waxing and waning with every passing game, Charlton and Cantona's eyes for goal could come in useful - they netted over 300 goals for the club between them.
Let's just hope the duo aren't suffering from persistent hip problems.

Thierry Henry's return to ignite Arsenal
Opposing defenders are already quaking in their boots as they dare to look at the Arsenal team sheet.
Thierry Henry standing alongside Robin van Persie. The Frenchman is the Gunners' all-time leading scorer and the Dutchman has just broken his returning team-mate's record for the most goals in a calendar year at the north London club.

Arsene Wenger hopes that his on-loan signing
from the New York Red Bulls will rediscover his scoring prowess in the
Gunners' front line.
From 1999 to 2007, Henry terrorised Premier League defences, scoring 174 goals in 254 appearances and winning the league's Golden Boot award four times.
While scoring goals may not be a problem for Arsenal, they are among the league's worst in goals conceded.

Mou, CR7 & Perez cannot bear to see Barca scoop more awards
PEREZ: Guys, guys! We're losers, guys!
Real Madrid's Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo will not be attending the Ballon d'Or gala on Monday in Zurich.
The official line from the club is that the pair will be too busy focusing on the Copa del Rey round of 16 second-leg against Malaga the following evening.
Zinedine Zidane and Emilio Butragueno will represent the Spanish giants at the star-studded event, which will see Ronaldo battle it out with Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Xavi for the prestigious award of best player in the world.
Mourinho will be up against Catalan counterpart Pep Guardiola, with Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson completing the shortlist for best coach.
One has to praise the Portuguese duo's professionalism to shun the glitz and the glamour, yet the pessimist in us all will wonder whether the real reason for the no-show is the unwillingness to watch Barcelona win another double.

FIRMAGON® is a unique hormone therapy that treats advanced prostate
cancer. It is called a GnRH receptor antagonist or blocker and works by
blocking the production of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) by the
pituitary gland. GnRH stimulates the testes to produce testosterone.
Testosterone affects the growth of the prostate gland and any cancer
cells that may be present. By blocking GnRH, FIRMAGON® reduces the
body's level of testosterone.
