From the Independent
Either way, their uncompromising competitiveness and the occasional long throw from Rory Delap proved futile in the face of United's resourceful options.
United's resourceful options?! er, do you mean United's multi-multi million pound players? yes, oh ok then

I've been away for the weekend - what did you get up to chaps? Seems to have ruffled the Guardian's feathers. Poor Ronaldo. www.guardian.co.uk/football/2008/nov/17/premierleague-manchesterunitedNo, it had more to do with Stoke. Their football failed to fire the imagination and a large section of their witless supporters soured the spirit by verbally abusing Ronaldo whenever he was remotely near the ball. No footballer should be subjected to that. No spectator, either. And after the match the distressingly hard-of-hearing Stoke manager, Tony Pulis, completed a squalid little day for his club when he said: "You get some banter. I don't know what they were singing. I switch off when I'm in the technical zone."

But no - their reporter is obviously of the "nouveau football" generation - White wine spritzers and vegetarian wraps instead of Pie and Bovril at half time. Oh and good-old abuse from the stands? Forget that. Mind you what did we expect from the bastion of PC?* Jeez - if he thought that was bad, I hope they despatch him to cover the Boxing Day game. You ain't seen or heard nothing yet pal! * To think I used to read it regularly as well. Oh well, I was a student.

to be honest I can't see the point of abusing a player. I don't like Ronaldo the man, but he is a cracking player, to see players like this lining up against stoke is surely one of the reasons why we want to be in the prem. It's a waste of time for me, every moment we spend abusing a player is a moment we could have spent supporting our team, which surely would be more productive.
Just a thought, to be fair I've hurled my fair shre of abuse at both my own team and our opponents in the past!!!
