Tevez

I'll admit I wasn't too impressed with all the "look at me" bollox when he was warming up. The match was being played it seemed a bit narcissistic.
Knowing the Ferg,I rather think he wouldn't have been impressed either.

fair point

bit of a sideshow though thankfully

Yeah. Fine him a weeks wages for acknowledging the fans who love him.

not my point Koppas,players warm up each and every game. I just thought it was milked a bit much.

They don't get acknowledged by the fans like that every game tho.

A quick clap would have been alright, as he has done many times before, but I think he was making a little bit much of it as well. Not a hanging offence or anything but it could be something that would piss Fergie off if he noticed it.

again,just an observation. Personally I didn't like it.

No you are worse, Cheadle ??

£#%&!ing hell, two sides of the ground give him a standing ovation and he claps them, he's hardly doing a ronaldo is he. you need to stop moaning he clearly loves the fans and it's good that he's showing it

hardly a moan,just a point of view. Team before self.

I'll repeat: I'll admit I wasn't too impressed with all the "look at me" bollox when he was warming up. The match was being played it seemed a bit narcissistic.

But you don't get to Tevez's level if you aren't a bit narcissistic. These aren't regular people. They'll always come up wanting if you judge them by regular people standards - just as they'd come up wanting as footballers if they in fact were regular people.

understood Grimson,I'm not trying to start a storm in a tea cup.
Just my opinion,he could have acknowledged the crowd in a less "look at me" style. Maybe it was the telly editors that swayed my opinion because they cut away from the match to show Tev hamming it up with the crest on his shirt.

I think the crowd forced the issue, the game was well in the bag and the fans would have loved to see Tevez come on. Them cheering him on on the touchline I think he was just being respectful for that adulation.

We all know that Tevez is probably pissed off at not starting or being used more often in important games. He's young, an international starter for his country, theres obviously something going down.

I'd love him to stay but I think he will move on in the summer. Shame really as he obviously wants to be a United player.

I agree totally with you monks except, I think this was first half before the goal. EDIT I was wrong about that 59 mins in ....only 1-0 tho.

The crowd was going mad singing Argentina,he applauded hands above head then pounded his crest a few times.... maybe I was a little harsh.
United were about to take a free kick,the cameras cut away to show Tev.

the game was nothing like in the bag. united were only 1 up when tevez was warming up and chelsea were having their best spell.

i'm with bcred on this. it was a bit ott imo.

the crowd reacted to him warming up.

he didn't start nothing.

it was over the top.

Also I think ronaldo, rooney and berbatov clicked for the entire 90 mins for the first time this season. I don't think fergie will disturb that now.

Agreed however,and this is the subtle point of my argument.

You don't ham it up on the sidelines at 1-0 in a game against one of our rivals. I betcha Ferg feels the same...
