United On Fire

I’ll be glad when the pre-season is over and we start playing competitive games.  That last friendly against Reading was particularly dull.  And I know, friendlies are the time to try out different things, but John O’Shea up front?  Silvestre at left-back?  What was Fergie thinking about ?

Here are your shorts for today :-

• Nike say that their boots are not made for breaking.   Perhaps Wayne Rooney will ask them for a special “extra protection” edition?  Maybe he wasn’t given enough milk as a child but something must be happening to produce all these feet injuries and unless someone works it out the slipper like boots are the most obvious reason.
• Lyon want nip in a get Heinze instead of Liverpool.  Give us a tin of beans and he is yours.
• The Guardian highlights some rather better 0-0 draws than the Reading game.
