United above Arsenal still, although I don't hate Arsenal as much as I did. All the pricks have left (Viera, Ashley Cole, Martin Keown (the ugliest man in world sport), Lauren), and you can't help but love the football they play, sometimes. Fabregas will be the best player in the world some day. How old is he? 12?
Sunderland are my new team now though. Roy Keane is a hero. Greatest midfielder of his era (are you listening Patrick Viera?).
In case you haven't heard, Keane took over as manager of Sunderland a few weeks into the season. They were rock bottom and headed for relegation. They finished as Champions. I guess that puts the Saipan incident to bed. If Roy Keane wanted to manage the team, McCarthy should have gotten the fuck out of his way.
The Ireland Argentina match was pretty good. They won it with a last minute drop goal. It's ok though, because Ireland didn't have a great team out and it was in Argentina. They're playing again this weekend but both teams are putting out B squads.
Match for the weekend is New Zealand v France though. A lot of people have it tipped for the World Cup Final this Autumn (although Ireland will be pushing France. The only problem is that it's in France). Jerry Collins is injured too, which is unfortunate. You can always count on him to cut someone in two and improve Irelands chances.
