From anon at Old Trafford on 81111: "Big changes at Old Trafford for the new season. Popcorn is on offer, and also giant chocolate buttons. "
1257: I don’t need to tell Arsenal or Everton fans who the big winners and losers were on Saturday but one statistic that stood out was the number of away wins – out of eight games, Chelsea and Stoke were the only home teams to collect three points. Can you see Birmingham and Liverpool winning on their travels today too It’s a big ask for both of them…1255: TEAMS Manchester United v Birmingham City
Man Utd: Foster, Fabio Da Silva, O’Shea, Jonathan Evans, Evra, Valencia, Fletcher, Scholes, Nani, Berbatov, Rooney. Subs: Kuszczak, Brown, Owen, Anderson, Giggs, Gibson, De Laet.
Birmingham: Hart, Carr, Roger Johnson, Queudrue, Vignal, Larsson, Ferguson, Carsley, Fahey, McFadden, Jerome. Subs: Maik Taylor, O’Connor, Phillips, Benitez, McSheffrey, Parnaby, O’Shea.From Sukh at Old Trafford on 81111: "Good atmosphere here in the stands – everyone looking forward to the first game of the season in the Premier League. My prediction – 3-0 to Utd!"
From Webby on 606:"Newcastle and Reading both drew with Man Utd at Old Trafford on the opening day in previous seasons… needless to say we all know what happened then to those clubs…Birmingham beware the draw."
1249: Some early team news from Old Trafford – Rio Ferdinand, who was already doubtful because of a back injury, has been ruled out by a calf injury sustained in training. John O’Shea will captain Manchester United in his absence and partner Jonny Evans in the centre of defence. Full line-ups to follow.1246 I’m expecting plenty of chat from you lot too of course. Get involved on606,via text on 81111 or, if you’re feeling adventurous, give me a tweet onTwitter.Basically, you’ve got no excuse for not getting in touch.
1243: Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson on his side’s bid to become the first side to win the Premier League four years on the trot: "We have more experience because of winning the titles but it doesn’t make that much difference in terms of the competition we are going to get into. To win four in a row would be fantastic. But this is a difficult league to win and, rather than look to May, I am looking at Sunday."
1240: By the way, if you haven’t seen it yet, I recommend you check out‘the goal that wasn’t’ in Crystal Palace’s defeat by Bristol City on Saturday. If you’re in the UK and have got access to iPlayer then you can watch it now. If you have seen it, you can kind of see why Eagles boss Neil Warnock is a teeny bit aggrieved, can’t youBBC Sport’s Phil McNulty:"Off to White Hart Lane soon. Will Liverpool justify my prediction that they will be Premier League champions Tough start."
1236: If you’re a Birmingham fan then your confidence ahead of the new campaign is hardly likely to have been boosted by thecomments of your manager Alex McLeish this week.Bemoaning the lack of funds to strengthen his squad, the Scot said: "We are not equipped for the Premier League as things stand now. If this team is to stay up, we need more quality. We still need at least three more players."From We all agree, Manchester United are Magic! on 606:"The Champions are finally here. Now witness the magic that is Manchester United."
1234: Reigning champions Manchester United join the party today, kicking off the defence of their title against newly-promoted Birmingham at 1330 BST. That match is followed by a humdinger at White Hart Lane between Tottenham and Liverpool at 1600 BST – not a bad way to test the Reds’ title credentials that…1232 BST: Blimey, yesterday was a bit of a cracker wasn’t it And I’ve got good news – the opening weekend of the 2009/10 Premier League is not over yet…

Gaddafi demands Lockerbie bomber’s return

Prime minister tells Libyan leader at G8 summit that Megrahi case is matter for the Scottish courts
In his first face to face meeting with Gordon Brown, Muammar Gaddafi today demanded the return of the convicted Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi.
The Libyan leader was told by the prime minister that it was a matter for the Scottish courts.
Gaddafi, wearing a flowing black and white silken robe and protected by female bodyguards, is at the G8 summit in Italy as the rotating president of the African Union.
He has pitched a bedouin-style tent outside the G8 barracks in which world leaders are staying during the three-day summit.
In a 40-minute meeting between the two leaders, conducted in Arabic and English, Brown insisted he could not intervene in the Megrahi case.
Scottish judges this week delayed completing an appeal into Megrahi’s conviction until at least September, even though he has prostate cancer and faces a risk of dying in prison.
The bombing of flight Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie in 1988 killed 270 people on the aircraft and the ground.
Gaddafi’s demand for the return of Megrahi was countered by Brown urging him to do more to cooperate with the Metropolitan police investigation into the shooting of WPC Yvonne Fletcher in 1984.
Her murder led to the severing of diplomatic ties between the two countries for a decade, but Gaddafi subsequently worked to improve relations with the west, so much so that Tony Blair went to Tripoli to meet him in 2004.
The Libyans have admitted responsibility for Fletcher’s killing by embassy staff and have paid compensation, but Britain is complaining that Libya is not producing witnesses, meaning the inquiry has stalled for more than a year.
Brown also called on Gaddafi to help bring about the return of six-year-old Nadia Fawzi, who was abducted by her Libyan father in 2007.
Her English mother, Sarah Taylor, wants her daughter returned, and Gaddafi promised Brown that the Libyan courts were on course to reunite the two shortly.
More broadly, Brown – who was accompanied by three UK officials – also urged Gaddafi to use his influence to persuade Middle Eastern countries to renounce nuclear weapons.
It is not clear whether Gaddafi has any influence over the Iranian regime.
The 67-year-old leader, wearing dark glasses for much of the day and sporting long dark hair, resembled an ageing rock legend and was generally seen as the star of today’s meetings.
Brown praised him for abandoning his chemical weapons programme unilaterally in 2003, a move intended to bring about a normalisation of relations with the west.
The two leaders also agreed to work together to bring stability to the oil market, with Brown promising to use his influence to improve African representation on the boards of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
British officials admitted the meeting had started formally, but gradually warmed up as discussions continued.
