Manchester United 7-1 AS Rome! Manchester United produced one of the most stunning European performances of all time at Old Trafford to overwhelm Roma 7-1 and book a Champions League semi-final meeting with AC Milan or Bayern Munich. In 20 years as United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson has seen and done virtually everything. But never, in five previous attempts, has he presided over a Champions League knockout stage win from a first-leg defeat. And never, ever, has he seen one of his teams go out against the Italian masters of defence and score seven times. On one of those once-in-a-lifetime nights when everything goes right, the Red Devils were unbelievably four up at half-time. By the end they had a truly magnificent seven, with Michael Carrick and Cristiano Ronaldo getting two each, Alan Smith, Wayne Rooney and Patrice Evra just the one. Trailing by a single goal from the first leg, the result represented United's biggest European win since they defeated Irish minnows Waterford by the same scoreline on the first stage of their run to the 1968 Final. It was more than enough to take Ferguson's men into the last four for the first time since 2002, a win all the more remarkable because they were missing at least four automatic members of the Scot's first-choice line-up. As the hosts headed off down the tunnel at half-time, their joyous supporters cheered themselves hoarse, wondering, perhaps, whether they had just witnessed the most amazing 45 minutes of European football this ground has ever seen. After surviving a couple of early scares, United hit Roma like a whirlwind. The football they produced simply took the breath away. The usual protagonists were to the fore as expected, but so too were Darren Fletcher, who probably only got his chance because Paul Scholes was suspended, and Carrick, who scored the first, played a major role in the second and at a stroke swept away the doubters who believed at #18.6million, the summer signing from Tottenham was far too expensive. Carrick set United on their way in nerveless fashion, collecting Ronaldo's square pass, then advancing on the Roma goal. Alexander Doni may look back and feel he got his angles wrong but in offering Carrick a clear sight of his top left-hand corner, he committed goalkeeping suicide. The midfielder gleefully dispatched a curling shot to light the blue touch paper on the end of which Roma's Champions League dream was burnt to a frazzle. The home crowd were still buzzing when Carrick laid an exquisite pass to Rooney, who instantly flicked the ball onto Ryan Giggs. The Welshman's through ball deflected off Cristian Chivu to Smith. In smashing home his shot, the Yorkshireman was banishing 14 months of injury hell. He was also scoring his first United goal since November 2005 and his first in this competition since netting for Leeds against Deportivo La Coruna at the same stage six years ago. Roma were still reeling when they were hit by another thunderbolt as Ronaldo released Giggs, whose cross was flicked into the far corner by Rooney. Having scored his first goal in 18 Champions League games a week ago, the England man suddenly has a taste for it. So too, Ronaldo, who prior to this onslaught had never scored a goal in the competition but had predicted in a pre-match programme interview his time was coming. It proved to be a fairly accurate assessment of the situation too as he collected the ball from Giggs two minutes before the break, attacked Chivu with his usual directness and slammed the ball into the bottom corner. And that, for the first half at least, was that. The incredulous Roma contingent could not quite believe what had happened. Their supporters, who had not exactly enjoyed the most hospitable Manchester welcome, tried to make the best of it. But their misery was not complete. Rooney began the second period with a fizzing shot Doni flicked over. Giggs' corner was half cleared but when Rooney ferried a pass back to the Welshman, he drilled a low cross to the far post where Ronaldo was waiting to bundle it home. A sixth followed on the hour as Carrick collected Gabriel Heinze's pass and arrowed a shot into the top corner which was even better than his first effort. Daniele de Rossi pulled one back for Roma but Evra soon cancelled it out to complete the rout. Manchester United - AS Rome : 7-1 (1-2)Buts : Carrick (9eme, 60eme), Smith (17eme), Rooney (19eme), C.Ronaldo (44eme, 49eme), Evra (81eme) pour Manchester United - De Rossi (69eme) pour l'AS Rome.

Although I'm not an expert at singing or playing guitar - I wanted to share my heart. This is who gives me true joy. Happy Easter! =D After reading these verses again and again, it inspired me to write the song. Ephesians 3:17-19 And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. For chords go to: http://www.happyslip.com/category/blog/ Lyrics: When I try to look elsewhere or in others I lose myself For my life is nothing without you My Creator You give me meaning You give me purpose I find my destiny in you oh God How wide How long How high and how deep Is your love oh Lord Unless the Lord builds this house I will build in vain I will sink in the sand But I choose to stand on you The Rock of my Salvation You give me meaning You give me purpose I find my destiny in you oh God For when I fall When I fail You pick me up And Hold me in your arms Oh Lord my God Reedemer and my Friend You're the Alpha, Omega The Great I am And I give my all to you How wide How long How high and how deep Is your love oh Lord I die to myself So that you might live in me oh Lord All the days of my life Shine through me Oh God of who I am Oh God of who I am

My dog Charles has a licking problem. I wrote a song about the licking, which accompanies this video. The licking is not a serious medical problem. Charles is under regular veterinary care, and was not harmed during the making of the video. He is just a weird dog. The song is called "Charles Has A Licking Problem." The lyrics are pretty easy, maybe you will want to sing along to my song. (In case you can't tell, that is me singing.) I draw comics at http://www.toothpastefordinner.com which you might like, if you think this video is amusing.

It now appears that consumers may be able to purchase large screen Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) displays within the next two years. Sony is investing heavily in the technology, which doesn't require back-lighting and which is in almost every respect superior to current Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs).

This might just be the funniest thing you see all day. I always imagined that Origami was more than just the simple folding of paper. Little did I know, it was essentially a martial art practiced by bad-ass looking guys with the ability to fold paper as it floats in the air. This is Origami War. Prepare to have your mind blown. In other news: The Rahmens may just be the next international superstars.
