Jesus man! Are you even reading what you're posting?
From watching van Nastilroy play on TV, no matter what stadium he's in, he plays the same sneaky kind of game.
Vieira went on to say (in the same autobiography) that he had loads of respect for Paul Scholes and Roy Keane. Scholes cos he gives as good as he gets, and doesn't roll around on the floor trying to get opponents sent off, and Keane cos he's an honest chap who is wholly committed to his role as Man Utd captain. Vieira used the tunnel incident at Highbury as an example. He said when he warned Neville about kicking Reyes, Keane jumped right in and said,"If you have a problem, take it up with me." Vieira said he admired that Keane instantly stood up for his teammate.
I also admire Roy Keane and Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs. These are players who are purists. Keane is a hard man, and does his job no matter what anyone says. Scholes does his duty and doesn't ask for medals. Ditto for Giggs. I'll always hold these men, who play for a club I happen to dislike rather intently, in the highest regard.
Yet, I've never met them personally, yet I think they are all great guys. All I know about them is what I've seen on the same TV screens on which I've seen van Nastilroy being a nasty piece of work.
Is there a special camera team for van Nastilroy, and another for the rest of his teammates?
