did you notice, by the way,

the concerted effort to get Hargreaves booked for most of the first half? (After they knew he'd been told by the ref he was on a warning.)

I thought it showed impressive teamwork by the Portuguese.

My favourite was when the replay showed Maniche trying to pretend he'd been elbowed in the face. In lovely slow motion. Was priceless.
