With his blatantly unsettling one-word real feelings for Martin Keown, Ruud van Nistelrooy has opened up ancient scars between Arsenal and Manchester United.
Why you gotta be so Ruud? One of the unwritten rules of football reporting, especially in the tabloid era, is that if Sir Alex Ferguson or incidents involving Arsenal and Manchester United in the early 2000s can be evoked, but it must absolutely happen, it must be done.
It can lead to utterly ridiculous situations where the England director is forced to discuss matches he played 20 years ago without whether they have any hazy relevance to the present time, but to Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record, he plays down when he, a 48-year-old adult man, is asked if that kind of rivalry persists. Why wouldn’t that be one of the first inquiries made of Leicester manager during a pre-game press conference in 2025?[19659005[]19659006 ]But again, Van Nistelrooy knows the game. He is aware that the media wants to tell tales. And because that is required, it must be carried out.
And part of the game is the Daily Mirror website pretending it is the biggest story in all of football on Friday morning, with this top of their homepage :
A RUUD AWAKENING! After the infamous Man Utd-Arsenal fight, Van Nistelrooy revealed his true feelings for Martin Keown as Leicester manager
? After all these decades of speculative and uncertain things? You may, of course, sod. You’ve been able to go this huge without it, I’m amazed. Van Nistelrooy claimed that he and Keown had previously dated after playing football. The Foxes boss said,” Hello, I’m interested in what he would say to the former England international.”
Basically, Martin, watch your back and sleeping with one eye opened.
Van Nistelrooy preparing to renew hostilities with Arsenal despite not having a single player from that October 2004 side still being in any official capacity when it comes to whether or not such a rivalry persists with you.
No really. No. You don’t walk on, do you?
You does, Ruud. However, it has been more than 20 years, and the advertising has no business criticizing them for it.
Slot it home
That was mercifully replaced as the top story on the Daily Mirror website at around 10am, when this inevitably took precedent :
BARMY ARNE! You can be sure youre in for a good time when the first 12 thoughts of this great reveal read” Arne Slot refused to be drawn on why he was sent off,” according to Slot, who revealed the reason for his angry id talk that led to his dismissal following the Merseyside derby but conceded England did NOT deserve to win.
Still, its better than the MailOnline , and Sun website fairly inevitably going with Slot breaking his silence despite his press conference on Friday being the first possible time he was able to speak about the situation and shatter his positively monastic vow of one full day.
Loud and clear
And why not complete the Daily Mirror website hat-trick at this stage? Ruben Amorim is the most red flag in the headlines because ofMan Utd banishment Antony’s clear communication. Mediawatch was aware of the situation well and of the options available to them when they clicked, but it is also ideal to be certain that this apparent message contained, well, a message of any kind. Unfortunately, there were no quotes in this obvious message because Antony intended for him to score a goal against Gent in the Europa Conference League.
Are you listening, Ruben?
I keep thinking about it
On that subject, here is MailOnlines take:Man United outcast Antony leaves fans stunned as he scores AGAIN for Real Betis to keep his red-hot start to his loan spell in Spain. Actually? He has scored twice in precisely as many starts this season, twice more than he did for Manchester United, and has the most goals in his career to be claimed to own scored once more.
Hit the road, Jack
Sublime work from the MailOnline with unimprovable deployment of a tabloid staple :Manchester City star , Jack Grealish , was spotted leaving an A-list hotspot with a mystery blonde woman on Wednesday evening.
Just one day after City’s 3-2 defeat by Real Madrid, the winger was spotted out in London after being substituted with a broken leg. Ignore the illogical white woman nonsense that just one day later. Only one day later, he started and scored the opening purpose against Real Madrid but he was substituted with a broken leg when Manchester City were leading 1-0. Because Ederson isn’t very good any longer, he may have spent the week quietly in a dim room with his feelings.
Oliver!
The Liverpool fan wailing has continued following the Merseyside derby and anyone under the impression the Liverpool Echo would not lean into it is a fool. The Premier League made a sizable selection regarding Michael Oliver’s participation in the Liverpool game against Wolves, according toHowever, regular users are now aware that the all-powerful conceals the fact that those two pieces of information are entirely distinct. The biggest choice made by Michael Oliver is not that Oliver, who received criticism for sending off Myles Lewis-Skelly during Arsenal’s most new victory over Wolves, has not been suspended. Was there any evidence that he might possess been?
We mean, outside of the infamously sensual areas of the England fans, where every national umpire is from and who they support.
