- Truer words rarely spoken: Sir Alex Ferguson has warned David Moyes the biggest challenge will be the "enormity" of Manchester United when taking over as manager and said his successor will decide if Wayne Rooney should stay at the club. After Sunday's trip to West Bromwich Albion, Ferguson steps down in his 27th year in charge of United. Asked what Moyes should give the most consideration to when becoming manager, Ferguson said: "I think the enormity of the club – he will soon realise that anyways. The global brand and number of sponsors we have here, he has to fit into that. I don't think that's an issue, though, and the most important thing is the team. Alternatively, more proof that one of the most powerful words in the English language has lost its meaning.

ALONE FOR A WEEK
Jane Kenyon
I washed a load of clothes
and hung them out to dry.
Then I went to town
and busied myself all day.
The sleeve of your best shirt
rose ceremonious
when I drove in; our night-
clothes twined and untwined in
a little gust of wind.
For me it was getting late;
for you, where you were, not.
The harvest moon was full
but sparse clouds made its light
not quite reliable.
The bed on your side seemed
as wide and flat as Kansas;
your pillow plump, cool,
and allegorical....
