Before yesterday's game against
Everton, I wasn't quite sure of what we were going to see.
Man United don't tend to be at their best after International games but there was nothing to
worry about. Man United eased to a comfortable 3-0 win over Everton and it could have been more
than that.

There were reports yesterday suggesting that
Man United defender
Rio Ferdinand will
be out for a few months. During Sir Alex Ferguson's pre-match press conference he doesn't seem to
be that worried about it.

Man United manager
Sir Alex Ferguson has recently been handed a two-game touchline
ban but he will be allowed to be in the dugout this Saturday. The Football Association (FA) has
said that the ban does not start until 14 days after the disciplinary hearing, which was last
week.
This means that Sir Alex will not be in the dugout for a Premier League game against Portsmouth and
the Carling Cup tie against Tottenham Hotspur.

don't think that will happen.

Last Englishman Not Standing
There's another new name added to the injury list after the conclusion of the England U-21 game
last night when Kieran Gibbs limped out of the game after just 20 odd minutes. I do not know for
sure the extend of his injury but if it really is a broken metatarsal, it would mean April or May
as his return date, which will also effectively mean an early end to what was supposed to be a
promising season for me.

Danny Simpson left Manchester United under a bit of a cloud after mistakes in his personal life
saw Sir Alex Ferguson ship him out to Blackburn Rovers. The move was supposed to be as a favour to
Paul Ince but Danny struggled to get in the team and the move became a bit of a waste of time.
Simpson is enjoying himself a lot more at Newcastle though and reckons he would sign for them if
he was asked in January or at the end of the season.

The TV ratings are in for the last round of Premier League games on ESPN2 and Fox Soccer

Tottenham against Sunderland game (259,831) but a very disappointing number of viewers for the
Monday match between Liverpool and Birmingham City (182,138) the second lowest viewing figure all

A few weeks ago I looked at the creative impact of Fernando Torres and Wayne Rooney over the last
two complete seasons. Torres was streets ahead of Rooney in almost every way, but some people (i.e.
Man U fans in denial) argued that it was an unfair comparison as they played in different
positions. Well, since Torres and Rooney are both now playing the striker role, I've taken a look
at the last 10 games to gauge how things are going this season.

Man United defender
Rio Ferdinand hasn't had the best start to the season. He has
either been injured or he hasn't been in his best form.
Other rumours have been that one of Ferdinand's legs is shorter than the other, which is why he has
been suffering from back problems.

According to England manager Fabio Capello, thug-in-a-shirt Wayne Rooney could have the same impact
for England that Pele, Johann Cruyff, Michel Platini and Diego Maradona had for their respective
countries. In my view, Rooney doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as those
players.
