Surely home grown means from the youth ranks?
If not, then non of them come from Trafford. And you'd be right.

Edit: Who watched the semi-final?

oh right i did mean it in the geographical sense, yes. I'm sure they've got the best youth scouts in the world

I caught it on Radio 5. Unlucky man. Win or lose, English or otherwise, penalties are no way to decide a match's outcome.

I actually thought Everton deserved it. Right about penalties though...no way to decide a match, never was really.

Disappointed with the starting line up what with 7 team changes.
As for Berbatov...the less said about him the better. :(

that's because I think that these four are actually very good footballers...Ryan Giggs is in my top 10 fav player's of my lifetime, despite the fact that I'm a die hard Liverpool supporter

I watched it and can't believe that it was the same team (everton) that were all guns blazing at Villa. It was an OK game. Berbatov=useless penalty.

and so was Cahill's...that's not the way to take a penalty...reminded me of Baggio's effort in the 94 WC final...too much power without even thinking about aiming somewhere

@brightspark: I happen to think Vidic is a better centre half than Ferdinand.
And the performance your referring to was his comeback from injury match...not fully fit.
He's strong, brave, a great header of a ball and capable of scoring from corners. Something Ferdinand has yet to do in his entire United career.
