They’ve been pretty battered in the last couple of weeks, so it’s no wonder that Man United brought their A Game – and fans – to the City of Light last night. Unfortunately, any game between City and United has been classified as ‘Category C’ which is the “highest security grade” by British police who put riot police on standby in the event of trouble. And trouble there was – some fighting and stone throwing took place between fans on the streets after United’s 3-2 victory over Mancini’s Men. Why didn’t anyone bring Benjie Aguero’s firetruck to help quell things?
Love him or hate him, Hatem Ben Arfa’s goal against Blackburn on Saturday has been hailed as a shining example of something from ‘How To Score Goals Like Diego Maradona, Without the Syringes’. Sure, Hatem’s Swagcan be completely off-putting sometimes but at the end of the day, who remembers that you went on strike at Marseille when you’re scoring goals like this?
Truth be told, Hatem just needs to put his pride to one side and focus on the football, s’il vous plaît… Don’t be hatin’ on Hatem!
