ruud awakening...

meanwhile, on the other side of the atlantic, manchester united were into their matchday 4 of the european champions league, where they met Sparta Praque at the Theatre of Dreams.

united's performance lacked lustre but dutch supremo, ruud van nistelrooy scored 4 (can you believe that?? 4!!) goals last night. such a shame that we are not going to be able to use his lethal touch in the box during the manchester derby this weekend due to his 3-match ban in the premiership. united need to be able to maintain such consistency in the premiership but we'll have to see. don't write them off just yet.

so ruud has scored 41 goals in 45 champions league matches. what a record, eh? and he is not even aware about it. he just wants to play and score goals. go ruud!!
