FOOTBALL fans are fickle creatures and this was clearly illustrated over the weekend when both Manchester clubs secured wins to leave them in the top two spots in the Premier League.

It is only a few seeks since Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney and Manchester City’s Carlos Tevez were expressing dissatisfaction with their current employers and seeking pastures new.

THE most dreadful aspect about the controversial goal scored by Nani for Manchester United in their 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Saturday was not that it was allowed, because there are arguments both ways on that issue, but the pathetically weak behaviour of referee Mark Clattenburg.
