Barthez is a Gooner
...and Gary Neville couldn't pass a parcel.
Well it's same old, same old for United. Keane belting the magnificent Patrick Vieira all afternoon because he's being out–played and out–fought, Beckham screaming blue murder at the ref and not even getting booked, Barthez kicking the ball away and not getting cautioned (ask Thierry Henry if that's fair) and I won't even mention the French 'keeper punching Matty Upson and only being shown a yellow (oops, I just did). Laurent Blanc looked like he was playing in slow motion (fair swap for Stam, hee hee) and did anyone know what happend to Ruuuuuud Van Nistelrooy?
Ferguson has to be unhappy, but then again he always is. For me Beckham's anonymity spoke volumes for the otherwise un–remarkable performances of Ashley Cole and Pires and someone should really tell Lauren how to defend, schoolboy stuff.
Thank god there was a bit of excitement in a weekend otherwise bereft of anything else particularly interesting. Channel 4's Serie A show was good last night though, Lazio 'keeper Angelo Peruzzi played the last 25 minutes with a broken wrist (he made a copuple of decent stops in that time too).
