Video: John Terry spits on Carlos Tevez

May 22, 2008

Many might have felt genuinely sorry for John Terry when he slipped whilst taking his potentially trophy-winning penalty. But earlier, amongst the Drogba sending-off incident deep in the second half of extra time, he clearly spat on Carlos Tevez right under the referee’s nose, holding up his arm to disguise it – followed by Tevez wiping his neck with hand, bemused. Disgusting, absolutely disgusting.

Watch at around 12-14 seconds into the clip…not nice!

What goes around comes around, John…

What do you think? Should action be taken against John Terry?

Video: Champions League Final highlights

Next Stop: Moscow

May 19, 2008

Manchester United and Chelsea have set off for Moscow ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League final. The sides are due to land at 10pm Russian time (or 7pm BST), and will have their first training sessions on Tuesday.

Sir Alex has taken a squad of 24 players with him, and says he has picked a starting lineup, but picking the substitutes has proven to be difficult:

“I know my team, but picking the substitutes is the big problem. I’m not going to enjoy it, there will be some very good players left out.

I hope one day they extend the substitutes’ bench to 11 players as they do in World Cup games. The dilemma should be taken from me.”

Ferguson certainly has a point, being faced with the difficult task of choosing 7 subsitutes from a possible 13; having so many players to pick has its disadvantages too, it would appear.

Meanwhile for Chelsea, worries over John Terry and Didier Drogba have eased and the pair are likely to play, meaning both sides have fully-fit squads ahead of the final.

But United’s more youthful squad will have the experience of Ferguson, who’s already been through a European final, of course.

Travelling United squad:

Goalkeepers: Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Heaton

Defenders: Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Brown, Neville, O’Shea, Silvestre, Pique

Midfielders: Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Hargreaves, Anderson, Fletcher, Park, Nani

Forwards: Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, Saha, Wellbeck


Ferguson: We will buy

May 13, 2008

After the recent media speculation surrounding Manchester United’s possible transfer targets for the Summer, Alex Ferguson has comfirmed that the Reds will, indeed, be signing a forward. Ferguson said, “We will buy. Along with Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney, we may need experience in one forward position, somebody to take over from Ryan Giggs eventually.”

This statement confirms what many already suspected, and will come as pleasing to United fans, who feel that one of the few weaknesses within the side is the lack of a centre-forward; it has become apparent that the seemingly temperamental Louis Saha needs to be replaced with a stronger signing.

Klass-Jan Huntelaar (Ajax), Karim Benzema (Lyon), Dimitar Berbatov (Tottenham) and Michael Owen (Newcastle) have all been amongst the speculation, but the player being increasingly mentioned is Seville’s Luis Fabiano. The 27-year old Brazilian has an impressive 34 goals to his name this season, in just 44 appearances for his club. He also topped the La Liga top scorer list this season with 18 goals, beating Barcelona’s Samuel Eto’o and United’s former goal-machine Ruud van Nistelrooy.
