We'll see abt that.............but really Man U shld've done the uglier thing and tightened the screw in midfield much more, then Fabregas wld've had no joy. Rooney's miss was extremely telling, and Gary Neville shld never ever return to the starting lineup again, his days are numbered..............numbered a big fat ZERO. Too bad abt Rafael's goal........most Man U fans might forget that. But he's really really good, if he continues to start Man U can probably find their best form again.

ahh yes.. gary neville gots to buck up.. imo if he had recovered from his injury last season, his situation, form wouldn't be so bad. well, what to do..
"Rafael good sia!".. thats the most common thing i heard the past 2 days. and i'd say its half true. attacking-wise, he brings alot of options, but he is still lacking defensively. he is a right-back afterall. but, recently attacking fullbacks been the flavour, and if this continues, rafael will continue to strive..
and is it just me or that the way rafael's been playing reminds me of evra when he first entered man utd, wihch is sucks defensively but amazing in attack.

Heh........when Evra entered he jus sucked. Only last season when Heinze left did he begin to revel in his regular role. Rafael is ok defensively, jus that he needs to concentrate instead of ball-watch sometimes.

Cole calls time on career
Ex-Red Andy Cole has announced his retirement from football, bringing down the curtain on a 19-year career.
Cole enjoyed spells with 13 clubs including Arsenal, Newcastle United, Blackburn Rovers, Manchester City and Nottingham Forest, where sadly his career came to an end not befitting his impresssive contribution to the game.
"It's not the ideal ending," Cole told The Times. "It just wasn't working out. I told them from the outset that I didn't want to go there to sit on the bench because I didn't want to be perceived as sitting back and making easy money."
Despite the slightly sour taste of his career's final act, Cole has plenty to look back on and feel proud about. "I wouldn't change a thing. I've lived the dream," he said.
Undoubtedly his most successful spell came during his six trophy-laden years at Old Trafford, where he won five Premier League titles, two FA Cups and a Champions League winners medal as part of 1999's famous Treble.
He served as United's no.9 with distinction, scoring 121 goals in 275 appearances. In his first season following a then-record £6.25million transfer from Newcastle, Cole scored five goals in the 9-0 rout of Ipswich Town at OT - still an individual and team best in the Premier League.
Cole left United in December 2001, and understandably did not scale the heights he had with the Reds. However, he did score the winning goal for Blackburn in the 2002 Worthington Cup final at the Millennium Stadium.
The 37-year-old has already been tipped to pursue a coaching career. Blackburn are reported to have expressed an interest in giving him his break behind the scenes.
