Fergie wants Milner, Scholes staying, and no Tevez regrets
Tevez and the ghost of Sir Alex Ferguson
If you happen to be in Manchester today, you might sense something in the air. Your paranoid mind tells you that it might be that volcanic dust that everyone’s on about, but it isn’t. It’s tension, friend. Good old fashioned human tension. Like a great big elephant in the room, it’s the Manchester Derby tomorrow, and no one quite knows what to say.
No one, that is, apart from hard working sports journalists, who always have lots to report. And here’s what we know today, thanks to the likes of The Telegraph, The Mirror, The Daily Mail etc…:
On the eve of the big match, Sir Alex Ferguson has been up to his old mind games again. In a bid to crawl under a young Argentine’s skin, he said this:
“I have no regrets about that whatsoever.”
He is, of course, referring to the sale of Carlos Tevez.
In other Man United news, Paul Scholes has signed for another year, even though he’s far too old for such childish games. And everyone is keeping a very studious eye on James Milner’s Aston Villa contract negotiations – the hunch being that Fergie fancies having a crack and landing the man described as “the new Owen Hargreaves”. Just now. By The Spoiler.
Over at Chelsea - where the number one drink of choice is “a cocktail” – everyone is feeling mighty relieved that Ashley Cole is feeling better, and should be fit to make the squad for the weekend’s Tottenham game. Everyone, presumably, apart from the man Jamie Redknapp likes to call “Jerk-off”.
And the latest news from Barcelona is that they don’t just want to pluck Fabregas from Arsenal, they want Clichy and all.
Cheeky.
