Manchester United vs Derby
This weekend was a great time to be a Manchester United fan. Two of our biggest rivals dropped points, Manchester City lost too, and we manged to cruise to a win in terrible conditions. I know, it was only Derby, everyone's favorite whipping boys, but it was really terrible weather to play football in. I don't know what the rules are, but can't

Very good point about him getting kicked five ways to Sunday without the ref doing a thing but when he decides to jump over a bad challenge to avoid injurying himself and his opponent - the diver, the cheater! Grrr. And as we already know that he's not exactly good in letting things go and putting matches behind himself...yeah.
Oh, and to add another possible reason why he was not as dominating against Derby. Aside from the fact that those kinds of conditions must be especially horrible for a technical player like him. I watched Carlos and Wayne and Cristiano like a hawk this time after you said last time that you felt Cristiano wasn't always getting the ball even when he was in the best position. Yeah. There may be something there. Obviously they need to gel a bit more.

he sure unpacks the drama when he does, going to ground flailing
I know! And that is what makes it worse, in the eyes of the refs because it seems like an admission of guilt. I think a lot of players (including Stevie) get away with it because they don't overdo it.
I loved what the author said about next time Cris running into the keeper and seeing how much damage he can cause. I don't blame Cris for getting frustrated. He is condemned if he does do it and doubly condemned if he doesn't! So what is the guy supposed to do?

That he's not! I think he remembers every bad thing that has happened to him. Like after the Fulham game he mentioned that the same ref had sent him off three years ago. Great memory!

I feel like screaming "See see, I was right!" LOL, nice to have someone take me seriously! I noticed it mostly due to the fact that I was missing the Cris/Wayne magical moments so much. Last season, they could practically read each others minds, this time they seem badly out of tune. I blame Carlos, how dare he come in the way of true love? :)

I always have to remember that bit from the homestory where he tells how he shot the tv down from the tree and how he would go up in the spare bedroom to I guess sulk and tear himself apart over every little mistake after a match gone bad. Wah.
And yes, Wayne cheating on him with Carlos is probably not helping. Getting slapped instead of hugged and kissed and cherished. Wah. And I better not find out Carlos' blinding smile was for Wayne. You two better not hurt my Cristianochen! *sulks*

That was so cute wasn't it? And it's wonderful that he cares so much about winning. I think that is what makes him so successful, his never say die attitude. It reminds of his goal against Fulham last season when everyone else had settled for a draw but he refused to do so and scored one of the most sensational goals I have ever seen.

I actually said "OUCH!" when I saw that slap. They probably think it's all macho and all that, but really, I'd much rather prefer the kiss on the neck. So would Cris. I wish Carlos would find someone else to smile at. Like Anderson or Nani or anyone other than Wayne.

Carlos could maybe fall in love with that cute, little mouse? Heh. No, he can have whoever, just not Wayne and not Cristiano. Wah.
