I am the original Man U fan on this website, going back to the 90's when Arsenal, Liverpool and couple Chelsea man, Tilla and Balla were here. So, before anybody jumps, please note my credentials from back in the dayz when it was not popular to be a Man U fan here.
To this day, I cannot understand how Evra is the Man U captain. I know Vidic is hurt. I know Ferdinand has been on his last legs and injured a lot. I know Giggs does not always start. But even so, they could juggle the thing without putting Evra in that role. Do the players and the manager really respek him that much? I have never been impressed with him at all, at all. His game is average and his behaviour never seems captain-like.
Yes he overlaps but the mid field does not always rotate to cover and he is often slow to get back. They seem to cover for other out of position players better. He frequently gets in skirmishes which seem silly or seem pointless. On Saturday, it seemed he got fouled by Suarez in the corner. But the foul did not seem that bad. The ref did not call it Evra's way. It appeared to get under his skin. Suarez probably needled him about it as many, even the best, pro athletes would. I dont care for Suarez game but I respect his talent. Getting into someone's head is part of the game. If Evra does not believe that, he should ask Fergie.
I dont know if there was a racist taunt or not toward Evra this past weekend. I do know that he aledged the same some years ago in a post game warm down incident with some stewards at either Arsenal or Chelsea. I hope he isnt making false claims. If the claims are true, someone needs to get to the bottom of it.
For me though, one of the biggest concerns, as a Man U fan, is having someone, who seems to me to be just the wrong type of individual as the captain of my side. I wish someone would help me figure this out.

Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter. It gets even worse if they win the UCL. *groan*.
