by the way i fail to see how booing one of our own players can be seen as a good thing, whether he's **** or not (which he clearly is) that is so cityesque its untrue.

booing our own players + fans leaving early (even in a game as amazing as that) = bad

Richardson really is that bad though. Even Ferguson must realise it now.

wrong.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Bayern Munich president Franz Beckenbauer has admitted England midfielder Owen Hargreaves could be sold to Manchester United this summer.

The Bundesliga giants have so far refused to grant the 26-year-old's wish to leave for Old Trafford.

But Beckenbauer, speaking on German television, said: "If it is right there is an offer of 25-30m euros (£17-20m), then I would seriously consider it.

"I think the board also think this way to satisfy the needs of the player."

Hargreaves has been a long-standing United target and the player has expressed a desire to play in England.

But Bayern have refused to deal with the Premiership leaders and suggested Hargreaves should honour the new four-year contract he signed last summer.

But a United bid of up to £20m could be enough to get their man this summer. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

it was largely comedy booing, and while i'd usually agree, frankly enough's enough with Richardson anyway

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Ronny is Evra so good

11/ 4/2007

PATRICE Evra thinks Cristiano Ronaldo is so good it's a joke.

The pair were both on the scoresheet on Tuesday night as Manchester United recorded their stunning 7-1 win over Roma at Old Trafford.

But while Evra celebrated the first appearance of his career at right-back by completing the rout late on, it was Ronaldo who once again proved to be totally unstoppable.

He may have been ably assisted by fellow two-goal hero Michael Carrick, plus striking duo Wayne Rooney and Alan Smith, who were both outstanding, but Ronaldo was a clear man-of-the-match winner.

His performance hardly came as a surprise to Evra, who in training at least has been trying - and failing - to find a way of stopping Ronaldo for over 12 months now since his arrival from Monaco.

"Nobody can stop him," laughed the France full-back.

"Probably the only way to do it is to kill him.

Kicking

"I have never seen anyone like him before in my life. When he runs at you, you try to grab his shirt or do whatever you can. But he just goes past you, makes fun out of you and leaves you kicking the air.

"I see him every day in training. I watch what he can do and I think 'Cristiano, no. It is a joke'."

Evra is happy to join a long line emerging from Old Trafford happy to declare the Portugal winger the best player in the world.

Sir Alex Ferguson and Wayne Rooney are both convinced and it would appear his only rival for all the major individual prizes this season is Chelsea's Didier Drogba.

Yet Evra claims Ronaldo is only getting his just reward for his insatiable appetite for hard work. The many crowd-pleasing tricks he produces are, it appears, rehearsed and rehearsed and rehearsed.

"He does them all the time," said the 25-year-old Senegal-born star.

"Even when he is sitting on a bike Cristiano is doing tricks. He eats with the ball, he watches TV with the ball. He probably even sleeps with the ball.

"I am not surprised at what he does. You should see how hard he works in training.

"He is very professional, always the first one in and the last one out. We all have a lot of confidence in him.

"Sometimes, you just give him the ball because you know the defenders are scared of him.

"I am very happy to have him on my team because, for me, he is the best player in the world."

Evra could not help but chuckle at his own contribution to United's triumph, their biggest in Europe since 1968, which sent shockwaves throughout Europe.

Frustrating

Having spent a frustrating month trying to recover from a knee injury suffered in the Premiership win over Liverpool at Anfield, Evra was happy just to be on the bench.

And when the call eventually came from Sir Alex Ferguson for his £5million signing to replace John O'Shea, he thought his manager was having a laugh.

"I have never played right-back in my life," he said.

"When the manager told me, I thought it was a joke. To come on and score was unbelievable.

"My fitness is not the best still but I am happy to be involved and hopefully I can stay away from more injuries because we have a lot of big matches to play."

Having lost the 2004 final to Jose Mourinho's Porto while he was still at Monaco, Evra has more reason than most to crave a third United victory in the competition.

Before Ferguson's side start thinking about the semi-final though, they have the small matter of a trip to Villa Park and an encounter with Watford for a place in the FA Cup final.

Given the Hornets have already lost by four goals to United this season, a chill must have shuddered down Adrian Boothroyd's back on Tuesday night as he watched events unfold.

"I was sure we would win - but not 7-1," admitted Evra.

"A similar thing happened once before when I was at Monaco and we beat Deportivo La Coruna.

"After 20 minutes, when we were three goals ahead, I had to ask one of my team-mates to pinch me. It just felt like a dream." </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I don't think Milan will be as bad as Roma though.

And the game itself. Bleah. Milan have played like they did for the past 5 years. Completely uninspiring, getting a goal and defending throughout.

It can either go completely wrong against Milan or completely in the right direction. I don't know, i think the team is capable of horsing them, Maldini and Nesta aren't young but it really depends on how much Rio and Brown can cope with the cheating Inzaghi.

yeah the one (okay there were LOADS but one of) the good things to come out of last nights game is that HOPEFULLY .. Fergie now sees 'attack attack attack' as the way to go

we really can rip into any team if we go at them.. so lets play that way.. especially with defensive uncertainties/injuries

gonch makes a good point about people leaving early. Yeah, I know the car parks are sh*t but if there was ever a team that deserved to be clapped off the pitch that was it.

It's something that's got worse and worse as the ground has got bigger. For once we should be looking at our friends down the East Lancs for the way it should be done...apart from singing that obviously!

just looking at Matt's pictures from last night and at the final whistle you can see huge areas of empty seating. some people just don't deserve to witness performances like that.

this is a long story with no real point but i'll tell it anyway. the bloke behind me is pretty awesome and a bit mental - he usually throttles those of us in front of him when celebrating, but it's all good. he also kisses the bald bloke who sits to the left of me on the bonce after every goal, blanc/barthez-style. the bald bloke's daughter sits to his left. anyway, after one of the goals, probably the 4th i think, while everyone else was going mental and head-kissing was happening and stuff, there was this weird moment when the celebrations were just dying down and me and this girl just made eye contact and exchanged looks which basically said "erm, what the f**k is happening here?" and then just started laughing.

erm, you had to be there
