Losers

Roman Abramovich
The life of a billionaire is over-rated. Poor Roman Abramovich may be one of the richest men in the world but he is still reduced to earning a living like the rest of us. The demands of "business" precluded him from attending the Champions League semi-final at Anfield in midweek and, four days later, he was still being detained in Russia by work. Given that Roman is worth £11billion - and has a choice of private jets in which he could have been flown in and out of England and back to his homeland in a matter of hours - it must have been very, very substantial business that kept him away.

Either that or disillusionment has set in and he is losing interest.


Manchester United
Only by beating Barcelona can the champions reach the Champions League final, and only if they beat both Wigan and West Ham can they be sure of retaining their title. Which is the worrying context of their current run of two wins in six games.


Sir Alex Ferguson
Even in its small print, Ferguson's post-match rant was comprehensively flawed - Carrick's proximity to the touchline was immaterial to the legitimacy of the decision, the ball was travelling towards Wes Brown and Didier Drogba rather than Rio Ferdinand, and it would have been outrageous had Alan Wiley ignored the linesman given that the latter official had an unparalleled view of the incident.

On a macro level, it was flawed first and foremost because the penalty award was warranted. Yet Ferguson's tirade was as much an error of judgement as it was of interpretation.

Rather than shrug off the setback with a reminder that United are still in pole position, Ferguson's rant - in partnership with his assistant's paranoid ramblings - instead fuelled belief that United are wilting under the strain. Ferguson's bitterness must have also been a factor in the United players' resentful response - reportedly, "we'll run where we f**king like" - upon being requested by the Chelsea groundstaff to move to a different section of the Stamford Bridge pitch. A siege mentality? No, just mental.

Ferguson's work this week has certainly lacked coherent thought. His team selection in Barcelona was plainly wrong and on Saturday he found a strange time to field a weakened team in the Premier League. Wasn't this fixture, in Ferguson's words, "unquestionably the biggest of the season"? One explanation for why Ferguson omitted a raft of first-teamers is that he wanted a valid excuse if Chelsea did prevail. Yet if it was a calculated snub to Chelsea, the perceived insult apparently galvanised United's opponents and Ferguson's post-match raving ensured that a non-story became the biggest talking point of the year.

Perhaps Ferguson simply wanted to rest his star players before the return leg with Barcelona, but, if that was the case, why was Wayne Rooney included given that he was already struggling with a hip injury that he duly aggravated? Inadvertently, his selection thus revealed just how critically Ferguson regards Ronaldo to his side's cause. The Scot bristles at the barb that United are a one-man team but over the last week he has provided trenchant evidence to endorse that view, not least by "sacrificing" Rooney as a midfield backtracker in the Nou Camp so that Ronaldo could operate centrally.

That United failed to offer a threat worthy of the word in Spain was a consequence of the Portuguese forward enduring a rare off-day. On Saturday, his day off coincided with United failing to work Petr Cech until Rooney accepted Ricardo Carvalho's gift and scored with the visitors' first shot on goal. In the 27 minutes Ronaldo was on the pitch he thus inspired five of the six shots on goal that United produced all day.

If that is a disconcerting thought for United, the truth is that it is inspiration from their manager from which they are currently lacking.


Rio Ferdinand
Never mind the question of whether this is the appropriate behaviour of a candidate to be the next England captain, a professional footballer should not be kicking walls or missing a non-moving target.


Alan Wiley
If referees want respect they should earn it. His linesman may have possessed the courage to step into the limelight but Wiley's craven failure to dismiss Owen Hargreaves for obvious and bellowed dissent was yet another unacceptable betrayal of the profession by a Premier League elite.


Yakubu
Suffering from his usual end-of-season famine - although, considering that he didn't score in his last 16 games of 2005/06 or in his last 12 games of 2006/07, Yakubu's current run of one goal in ten games is prolific by his usual post-March standard.


Jari Litmanen
Even though he was brought to Fulham without a fee, Litmanen deserves a mention whenever the list of this season's flops is compiled. His spell at Craven Cottage began bleakly when, within two weeks of arrival, he returned to his native Finland suffering from heart palpitations, has included precisely zero first-team appearances in return for his weekly £15,000 wage, and was annulled last week when he was knocked out in training by a stray clearance by reserve goalkeeper Ricardo Batista. "It was like a missile," exclaimed an unusually animated Roy Hodgson as way of explanation.


Abou Diaby
To the lengthy list of Gunners players ruled out for the rest of the season can be added the name of Abou Diaby.

While the club still refuse to admit that Denilson was ruled out for two months because of his involvement in a practice match against Colorado Rapids in February, they have at least admitted that Diaby's problem was a consequence of the midfielder playing in a reserve match in which he was supposed to be acquiring much-needed playing time after serving a three-match domestic suspension.

Yet Arsenal remain a club in denial. Their website currently carries an interview with the dejected Frenchman in which it is stated that, until Monday night's setback, 'the former Auxerre midfielder was counting this as his first injury-free season after his move in January 2006'. Oh really? Tomas Rosicky's absence since late January should have presented Diaby with a prolonged opportunity to impress but instead the ensuing four months have revealed his own brittleness. The two matches he managed to start between February and April - against Manchester City and AC Milan - resulted in two separate muscle strains each requiring a month's recuperation, and his return to first-team action at Bolton on 29 March lasted 30 minutes before he was dismissed.


Wigan Athletic
Only Derby County have scored fewer goals in the Premier League this season than the parasites of the JJB.

Cesc Fabregas still believes Arsenal could snatch the Premier League title.

The result took the Gunners to within four points of Chelsea and Manchester United with two games remaining.

Fabregas told Setanta Sports: "Nothing is impossible. We have to win the last two games and then we'll see. We are not the favourites, but you never know."

The midfielder also paid tribute to Adebayor, adding: "He makes a difference every time he plays, he's a striker who can do everything. We should feel fortunate to have him."

KAKA WANTS RONALDINHO AT MILAN

Brazilian star Kaka would relish the prospect of playing alongside international team-mate Ronaldinho at AC Milan next season.

The Rossoneri appear to be in pole position to acquire the playmaker, who is widely thought to be on the move after just 13 appearances for Barcelona this term.He would add to a growing list of Brazilians already with the Serie A giants.

And Kaka believes the influence of compatriots Dida, Cafu, Serginho, Digao, Alexandre Pato and Ronaldo would help Ronaldinho settle in no time at all.

He told the Lancel newspaper: "He has not forgotten how to play football. He is not having a good time at Barcelona for different reasons that are not easy to talk about, as we are not with him every day.

"If he comes here to Milan, it will be a great signing for the club. He will be welcomed. The Brazilians here will help him a lot."

UNITED ARE FEELING THE HEAT - BALLACK

Chelsea's two-goal hero Michael Ballack insists Manchester United are feeling the pressure as they prepare for a dramatic end to the Barclays Premier League campaign.

Ballack's two goals, the second from the penalty spot, helped Avram Grant's side to overcome leaders Manchester United and draw level with them on points at the top of the table.

The last few weeks have seen United's five-point lead eroded and Ballack is well qualified to understand how much pressure Sir Alex Ferguson's men are now under.
