Not-so golden oldies
Manchester United were superb last night. Wayne Rooney in particular was a real handful and unquestionably will be at the centre of any would-be English World Cup success in the summer (fingers crossed he stays fit!). But surely a few questions must be asked of an ageing AC Milan? The seven-time champions of [...]

Just hold me, Wayne
Gary Neville enjoyed a very homoerotic goal celebration after Wayne Rooney’s opening goal for Manchester United against AC Milan last night. All the United team wanted to dance around with the hero, but the skipper wanted to leap into his arms, rest his head against Wayne’s and just cuddle.
A truly tender moment.

Goldenballs dons gold-and-green
After the disgraceful hostile reaction to his arrival on the pitch last night, David Beckham (ever the populist) sought to win back over those seething Manchester United supporters by wearing a green-and-gold Love United, Hate Glazer scarf at full-time.

Man Utd star nearly missed flight
Wayne Rooney was given a police escort through passport control after nearly missing Manchester United’s flight for their Champions League clash with AC Milan. A groggy looking Rooney was rushed through the airport formalities after arriving just 35 minutes before United’s flight was due to take off.
Somehow we don’t think [...]

AC Milan fans get the Armani ad live-show
AC Milan are certainly getting their money’s-worth out of David Beckham. Just his second match for the club and he is already performing an on-pitch striptease.
Away from the underwear department, it was another fine display from Becks as he grabbed an assist in a 3-0 win over Juventus. [...]
