Football headlines
Ruud's the best: Ronaldo
Real Madrid star striker hails Manchester United's dutch striker as the best in the world. A deadly finisher and a predator in the 20 yard box, he hails the Ruud, Rooney partnership will become the most feared in europe or even the world. With ruud a goalscorer in the box and Rooney a goalscorer from...anywhere, the two strikers rub of each other and proves to be a winning team. Even when it's not his season, Ruud van Nistelrooy has managed to nick 20 goals while, when he is on form,like he is now, he can score 47 goals(evidence in the 2003-2004 title winning campaign). With Ruud and Roo, and even Roon, United will threaten this season, both in England and in Europe.
Roo: Just Shut It, Kenyon
Wayne Rooney has accused his former boss Peter Kenyon of showing a "lack of respect" by claiming Chelsea will walk away with the Premiership this season. And the England striker insisted Manchester United have got the quality to wrest back the title from Stamford Bridge this season. Former Old Trafford chief executive Kenyon claimed even before the big kick-off last month that this season's champions will come from "a small bunch - of one". And Jose Mourinho's side have so far backed up his words with a 100 per cent start to the defence of the title. But Rooney believes his unbeaten Manchester United side are very much in the race and Kenyon was arrogant and wrong. "I think that is just a lack of respect for the other teams in the Premiership," he said. "There are a lot of good teams in the Premiership and I think there are various clubs which can win the league. We can still compete with Chelsea - and anyone in the world, I think. We have got the players. Hopefully it will be a good season. Chelsea have had a great start. They have won all their games and have not conceded a goal, so I think they are doing something right. But we have had a good start as well. We have had some tough away games and are still unbeaten. It is going to be a tough season again, but hopefully we can snatch the title back off Chelsea."
League Cup flops:
Tottenham, Portsmouth & Manchester City, all doing well in the EPL, got knocked out of the league cup by minnows Grimsby, Gillingham and Doncaster respectively.Unlike pompey and spurs, who conceeded a goal in the dying moments, City lost 3-0 on penalties. other premier league sides like Wigan, West Ham, W.B.A, Aston Villa, Blackburn, Fulham, Charlton, Sunderland and Birmingham which are not doing well in the EPL, continuing on to the 3rd round to be joined by the bigger guns like Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal etc. Is it the lack of respect for the cup that caused them to fail??
