Blackburn Pyros 4-3 Manchester

Manchester succumbed to an expected loss against the Blackburn Pyros as former London Arsenals rookie David Bentley got himself a new hat.

The wideout kicked three scores - the first person to do that against Manchester since color was invented in the world and our uniform was a nice shade of grey (as was everyone elses). But Bentley's trio was all the more impressive when you consider the day before he had been given a life sentence at the Blackburn Pyros after picking up several ASBOs for wearing an obscene hairstyle in public.

Let's face it... after picking up a loss at the Nike Trafford Ballpark against the Pyros earlier this series, it's not entirely surprising that we did the same in the prison. Cristiano Roonaldo had an especially quiet game and seemed to be looking at the bars on the windows and shaking uncontrollably.

To make it worse, Ferdinand Rio samba-ed his way to two referee's yellow pieces of paper and will now add to our sizeable list of absentees. To make it worse, he did it deliberately, as the Carnival starts in Brazil soon and he now gets time off to go.

I don't know much about Bentley, but someone e-mailed me to say that he has the most inappropriate name in soccer. They said he should really be called David Escort XR3i.

So, anyway, Escort XR3i kicked two scores in the first-half, firstly getting the soccerball after Eddie Vandersar had dropped it, then when Rio and Vandersar saw their manners get the best of them and left it for each other.

In between Lewis Saha got his customary score, sliding the soccerball home after Mega-American magicman Brad Friedel had batted away Wayne Roonaldo's kick.

But Australian defenseman Neill Lucas got a 12-yard kick-ball infringement score after Wes Brown decided Vandersar was doing so badly that he should become goaltender for a while.

XR3i then got his hat from the franchise's megastore, before Rude Nistelrooy's double set up a frantic finish. We should have been chasing the paralleling score, but instead Ferdinand Rio, doing his best middleman impression of Roy Keano (ie. going a bit psycho) got himself ejected.

So a bad end to a terrible few days for Manchester. The only good thing that happened last night was that Rio's second yellow piece of paper resulted in Robbie Savage being carried off. No one seemed to mind about that.
