These kind of games should be played at the end of the season anyway.

Its amazing that these games are scheduled mid-season.

And teams manage to bleat about too many games when these things are penciled in.

Has anyone seen our fixtures list for April?! It's mayhem

[The_weatherman]

I wonder if Carra and Gerrard could tap up Mancini

[Maestro]

No doubt Gattuso and Pirlo will be delighted to see Carra and Stevie G again...

[Parm]

As always I really want the Mancs to lose!! Go Europe!

[LadyRed]

Defenders: Paolo Maldini,

I'm suddenly very excited about the game

LATE LIPPI CALL FOR FOWLER AND ZENDEN
Mark Platt 13 March 2007

Robbie Fowler and Bolo Zenden have received late call-ups to Marcello Lippi's European select squad for tonight's double celebration match at Old Trafford.
Fowler and Zenden will join Liverpool team-mates Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard in the star-studded side that takes on Manchester United.

Lippi has drawn on some of the top names from across the continent for a game that marks two jubilees – the 50th anniversary of the treaty of Rome and Manchester United's half-century of participation in European competition.

United director Bobby Charlton says: "I look forward to welcoming so many stars and friends to Old Trafford to celebrate these two significant anniversaries."

All proceeds from the night will go to charity.
