I know, that's why I chipped in.

You can't be more objective than taking in the stats. Tevez scored five
goals and had 3 assists last season. That is seriously shite for a forward.

You know what, I'm going to look into that.

To be fair there might be an argument to say that's probably our own
fault. We perhaps never made the most of him and maybe could have shown
more faith in him. He's the kind of player who likes to be liked....and
he might not have been feeling the love from SAF. I mean look at him
now....he's a different player.

I know one thing, I struggle to put it down to a sudden finding of form. :/

Forget about Ronaldo.
Your Carlos Tevez too.
'Cos we've got a player who's United through and through.
He just might tw*t your groundsman, and bomb down your wing,
He's French, he's fast, he's f*cking CLASS, so hear United sing:
Tra la laa, it's Patrice Evra, tra la laa laa laa laa laa...

I'm reserving judgment till the end of next season. My money's on him going
back to around 5 goals and 3 assists when he's no longer got anything to
prove.
