Football FanCast columnist Daniel Lomax feels that Michael Carrick has been the catalyst to Man United's recent success and fails to understand why he constantly fails to get the recognition he deserves.

If you think over previous decades, certain players have had a massive influence on their respective clubs. Whether they are produced in England or imported from elsewhere, individuals have to chance to implement their own styles of play on the way their team performs.

Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey cant believe that the build up to the Champions League Final is being hijacked by selfish players on the lookout for a pay rise next season by fuelling transfer rumours.

Football in 2008 is a very different beast compared to yesteryear, but surely some things must remain sacred. But, according to two of the Premier League's star performers, the Champions League final is no longer one of them.

Football FanCast columnist Jerome Johnstone continues his search for the Premier League's finest players of all time and after Tony Adams and Steven Gerrard picking up the awards for their respective positions, today the focus of attention will be on the strikers..

Since the very first moment that the gruff voiced Andy Gray and the ever hairy Richard Keys introduced the Premier League to our screens, little did we know what was around the corner - It illuminated a game that to be fair was in desperate need of an injection of life and the Sky's fortunes that have been pumped into the game over the last 16yrs has transformed it at every level and insured that the Premier League would become the best in the world.

New Football FanCast columnist Alex Rowland looks back at the remaining trio from the class of 92 and wonders if they still have a future at Old Trafford.

There is much debate as to when the Manchester United's golden class of 92 will finally come to an end. Many have left; none have move onto better things and yet three remain. Giggs, Scholes and Neville will go down as United Legends but how long can the trio continue?

Football FanCast columnist Davis Lowe feels that Man United and Arsenal are head and shoulders above everyone else in England but wonders which side has the right to deem themselves the Premier League entertainers.

If there is well worn out phrase that comes out of the Sky and Premier League's PR machines, is that in England we possess the best Championship in the world. It certainly not a view that washes with me as our feel the Premier League falls way behind our Euro counterparts technically and in general skill. I appreciate there are the obvious exceptions like your Manchester United and Arsenal's of this world but collectively we are somewhat limited.

Football FanCast columnist Daniel Lomax reflects on what has been a fantastic season for Manchester United and feels that the secret of their success was not only the scintillating form of Cristiano Ronaldo but that of Rio Ferdinand.

Reflecting on what has been a fantastic Premier League campaign for Manchester United, which players have been the most impressive? Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo has been in sensational form over the last nine or ten months and has rightly recieved the plaudits, however I believe one man deserves just as much credit and who has become our own Captain marvel.

Football FanCast columnist Jim McKendry wonders whether Cristiano Ronaldo will finally break the mould and be the first Premier League star to win the coveted, World Player of the year award.

Thierry Henry's failure to collect the World Player of the year award, during his Arsenal days, must rank as one of the biggest mysteries in football. How a player who use to score 30+ goals every given season, provide countless assists and was simply unplayable at times, never got the recognition by football's governing bodies is a disgrace and highlights once more the lack of appreciation the Premier League receives.

Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey reacts to the news that Sir Alex Ferguson has made no retirement plans and wonders just what is driving the Great Scot on despite his advancing years.

Basking in the glory of his tenth Premier League title and standing just 90 minutes away from lifting his second European Cup before the month is through, Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson laughed off suggestions that he may want to leave the club when the season is finished.
