What a difference Robin Van Persie has made to Man United. His goals have helped secure a 20th title and he has been inspirational.
But what a difference Man United has made to Van P! I have never seen a footballer age so much in one season. The Dutchman has gone grey overnight!
Fergie will have to tell him to stop worrying - his first Prem title medal is in the bag and other medals will follow over the next couple of years.
And maybe it's time for a bit of the old Grecian 2000, Robin, old chap!
BAYERN WILL BEAT BARCA
The Champions League semi finals
brings together three of the best four teams in
Europe.
And the fourth - Dortmund - are probably the fifth best so it is quite a tasty prospect.
I believe that Barca are ageing in central midfield and that they are no longer the best team in Europe. Both Real and Bayern are better on their day as Barca look increasingly like a one-man team (Messi)
I take Bayern to beat them over two legs and to set up a tremendous final against Madrid at Wembley.

I HEAR that Newcastle boss Alan
Pardew is ready to bring prodigal son Andy Carroll back to St James'
Park.
He is likely to return this summer after his loan spell at West Ham expires.
The deal will involved one Newcastle player heading to Liverpool along with a fee of around £7million.
That means the one Toon player will be valued at £10million - so you don't need to be a rocket scientist to work out it is likely to be a top star at the club.
More than likely a midfielder who is French and whose surname is Ben Arfa.

STOKE 'LOOK TO BENITEZ'
LAST week I said that Rafa Benitez
was eyeing up the opportunity of taking over at Aston Villa in the
summer.
Well, things have moved on since then.
Apparently Villa are going to stick with Paul Lambert even if they go down. They like the way he is working with the club's promising youngsters and want to give him time to turn things around.
That has prompted a new slant on Benitez's hopes of employment after his interim role comes to a conclusion at Chelsea next month.
It seems Tony Pullis may be leaving Stoke - and that Benitez is one of the leading candidates to take his place.
That suits Stoke and the Spaniard. He gets a job where he can go home every night (his family are based near Liverpool) and they get a manager who can bring a different style of football to the Britannia - but still keep them in the Prem.
