Some more magic please to help PSG investment

SO Alex Ferguson's 25 years at Manchester United have been a "fairytale" have they?

Well, apparently (according to Wikipedia) fairytales usually involve magic or enchantments.

So given that I'd backed the Red Devils on Saturday, it was good to see that Fergie's spell over former United players is still working well.

You probably missed it, but as he came out onto the pitch at Old Trafford, Ferguson uttered the words "Djemba-Djemba the fifth of November", and his spell was cast.

Sunderland boss Steve Bruce is clearly still charmed by Ferguson, that's just 18 of the last18 matches against his former gaffer he's lost now, while Wes Brown looked equally enchanted as he deflected a header into his own goal.

I'm hoping all this magic can rub off on me after my punting involvement and I'm banking on Javier Pastore to help PSG to a win over Bordeaux on Sunday.

The boy's an absolute wizard.
