Showdown shows need for video ref

ACCORDING to exotic reports, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson was drenched in pea soup in the tunnel after his side’s fractious encounter with Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Pea soup, mark you, not a prawn sandwich - so it seems that, even though he didn’t play in the game, Roy Keane still managed to get his way.

But then, it wouldn’t be Manchester United versus Arsenal if there wasn’t a Niagara of fallout to dominate the back pages. And flying food is the least of it.
