Here are 3 things that caught my eye during that first half.
1. We CANNOT defend crosses put into our penalty area
This could be a big problem for us in the derby next sunday and beyond.
2. The Rooney/RVP partnership once again looks amazing. Rooney has 2 goals and RVP should have had 2 as well ( shame the linesman didn't see his second goal cross the line )
3. And finally there's Rafael ... God only knows how Fergie is dealing with him in that locker room as we speak. You just DO NOT disrespect this manager and this club publicly like that , son!!! Just ask Van Ilsteroy , Becks and many bigger names before him who 'tried' Fergie ... there's only one winner there.

Entertaining First Half

Dissed SAF. Refused to shake the proffered handshake when the Boss was making a tactical substitution. Somebody (Giggs?) threw their coat at Rafa and shouted; "sit dooooowwwnnn!!!"

he was taken off after 31 minutes , he refused to shake Fergie's hand , refused to put on his jacket as he stormed onto his seat on the bench ( our kit-man had to throw it on his back in anger and disgust ) before Fergie gave him an angry look as he took his sit.
It was rather uncomfortable to watch even for the 20 seconds or so it lasted <angry>

Wasn't giggs. I thought it was Albert Morgan?

Ronaldo did that when he subbed off once, don't think its a big deal. Id rather him act like that and be disappointed rather than be jumping for joy.

I'm wrong. It is Albert Morgan.
Wouldn't put it passed Giggs, though. We've all seen Keane and Irwin do it.

Raphael doesn`t carry the weight of vN or Beckham, they thought they were big enough to argue, but were not, this is just a kid sulking...no problem there... smack on the bum will do the trick!

Dont think SAF found it to be a problem...
"Rafael had been booked - I don't think there was any danger in him being sent off because it was an innocuous challenge but we really needed to get height into the team," said Ferguson.
"The boy [Rafael] was disappointed coming off. He has been one of our best players this season."
