MANCHESTER UNITED DAILY NEWS Thursday 23rd Sept 1999:
Barry Comment:
3-0 3-0 3-0 REDS grazed throught the match, EXCELLENT goalkeeping
performance by Raimond *incl a penalty and a decent free kick saved.
Good to see us back on winning ways after two stalemates.
Now for Southampron & Marseille next Wednesday!
Uniteds unbeaten runs currently stand at:
28 games League
43 games League and Cup
37 games domestic League and Cup
Message from Paul Hinson:
The 40-game record Nottingham Forest hold is 40 games in domestic League
and Cup. United need to remain unbeaten against Southampton/Chelsea/Watford
and whoever we play in the Worthington Cup 3rd Round to beat it.
The League only record is 42 games, against by Forest, and we would need to
avoid defeat up to around January 15 2000 to manage that!

Subject: KEANE GUIDES UNITED TO WIN - Sky Report
SK Sturm Graz 0-3 Man Utd
by Ben Lyttleton
United eased to their first Champions League victory of the new campaign
with a 3-0 cruise against Sturm Graz in Austria.
The holders' first-half performance, in which Roy Keane, Dwight Yorke and
Andy Cole scored, sealed the points but one of United's best performances
came from Raimond van der Gouw, who was controversially preferred to summer
signing Mark Bosnich in goal.
But no inclusion was more welcome and no performance more appropriate at
the Arnold Schwarzenegger Stadium than that of Keane. United's very own
strongman, whose last United performance was in the SuperCup defeat against
Lazio on August 27, showed brawn and brain befitting of the European
champions' captain.
Even Schwarzenegger would have been hard pressed to keep out Keane's
16th-minute opening goal. When Beckham's free-kick cannonned into the wall,
the ball fell to the inspirational Irishman whose swerving howitzer from 30
yards screamed its way under Kazimierz Sidorczuk's crossbar.
Like the player itself, the shot combined ferociousness with an exquisite
quality. Also like Keane, it was spine-tinglingly watchable and
devastatingly effective. And most like the skipper, you did not want to get
in its way.
The goal came after a good opening spell from Graz, who looked to have put
behind them a run of form that has not seen them win in six games. They
clearly hadn't, and at Keane's prompting United went on to score two more
goals in a minute just after the half-hour mark.
Dwight Yorke was the next to get in on the act, leaping unmarked to head
David Beckham's corner under the body of Sidorczuk. It was a bad goal to
concede - and as it squirmed under the keeper, Graz's run of six games
without a win looked set to continue.
That much was a certainty when Yorke and Cole found themselves two-on-three
in the final third. The tricky Trinidadian curled a ball into Cole's path,
who took it past the last defender and slipped it inside the near post.
3-0, and nearly an hour still to play.
As well as Keane's presence, the English side were boosted by the return of
Beckham. Sir Alex Ferguson also kept faith with Jordi Cruyff and recalled
Raimond van der Gouw in favour of Mark Bosnich, which he explained by
saying: "It was a difficult decision but Raimond's done nothing wrong."
The Dutch 36-year-old did everything right when to gather the ball when a
cross from the right evaded everyone to allow Tomislav Kocijan a free
header at the far post. He was then called into action when captain Ivica
Vastic's long-shot looped into his arms.
After United's third goal, he made two impressive stops in a minute -
firstly diving spectacularly to push away Vastic's curling free-kick and
then punching Roman Maehlich's volley to safety. Graz pushed on gamely and
Gerald Strafner headed wide just before half-time.
But United looked the likelier scorers - and nearly got a fourth when Paul
Scholes' impudent reverse pass almost released Cole. Graz conceded 11 goals
in two meetings against Real Madrid last year, the same number United put
past Brondby.
The Austrians could have pulled one back - and forever banned the epithet
'whipping-boys' from their name - just after the break but Vastic sliced
his right-footed shot wide. Maehlich had time to curl a long-shot past the
post before Neukirchner's effort was stopped by van der Gouw, whose biggest
test came after 56 minutes when Phil Neville brought down Kocijan in the
area.
Vastic stepped up for the spot-kick and struck it terribly. Paceless and
down the middle, van der Gouw actually had to dive forward to stop it - and
then he made good ground to smother Vastic's lunge for the rebound.
One sour note for United was the booking of Beckham. There was only going
to be one outcome to his constant bickering with Maehlich, and before both
players' yellows became red, the Graz number six was substituted.
Graz still contrived to create, and squander, more chances in a second
period in which United introduced Wilson, Sheringham and Solskjaer. The
goalscorers from last May's epic final could not increase United's tally,
but it mattered little.
The performance was professional rather than spectacular, but for Ferguson
the returns of Keane and Beckham, and the form of van der Gouw, would have
been encouraging.
A job well done, as attention turns to the home fixture against Southampton
at the weekend. Who said the Graz was always greener?

Subject: Teamtalk Report - Reds waltz through Graz challenge ««
First half goals from Keane, Yorke and Cole saw United coast to an easy 3-0
win tonight in their Champions League clash in Austria.
Sturm Graz had their chances, including a second half penalty saved by van
der Gouw, but United's superior finishing was too much for the Austrian
champions.
The win for United sees them go second in Champions League group D with
four points, two points behind Marseille whose 2-1 win away to Croatia
Zagreb this evening sees them top with maximum points. United meet the
French side at Old Trafford next Wednesday night.
Raimond van der Gouw won the vote over Mark Bosnich to start tonight's game
in the Arnold Schwarzenegger Stadium, with Bosnich taking his increasingly
familiar place on the United bench.
As expected, Roy Keane and David Beckham returned to the Reds midfield
after their respective injuries, while Jordi Cruyff replaced Ryan Giggs on
the left.
Andy Cole returned to the starting line-up alongside Dwight Yorke, with
Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer back on the United bench.
After a scrappy opening, the Reds had an early chance to take the lead when
Beckham was given a free-kick just outside the box, but his effort curled a
yard wide of Sidorczuk's right-hand post.
A few minutes later, Graz should have taken the lead. Neukirchner's cross
found the head of Kocijan, whose downward header was straight at van der
Gouw. Despite the Austrians' greater possession, it was United who took the
lead just after the quarter of an hour mark.
Beckham's free-kick was headed clear as far as Roy Keane standing
twenty-five yards out; the United skipper controlled the ball with his
first touch, while his second sent a viciously swerving right-foot shot
past Sidorczuk off the underside of the bar.
The Reds doubled their advantage just past the half hour mark. Beckham's
corner was met by the head of Yorke whose glanced effort squirmed under
Sidorczuk and past a defender on the line.
Two minutes later it was game over when Yorke's curled pass found Andy
Cole, who chested the ball down, held off Feldhofer, and poked the ball
beyond Sidorczuk to put United three up and coasting.
To the Austrians' credit they refused to throw the towel in, and van der
Gouw saved well from Vastic's free-kick and then from Mahlich's piledriver,
before Strafner headed wide just before the break.
In the opening minutes of the second half, David Beckham was extremely
fortunate to escape at least a booking after lashing out at Kocijan with
his boot.
Graz continued to look the side most likely to score next, with Vastic
wasting a great chance by blazing wide when well placed, Mahlich firing a
30 yard effort just wide, and then Neukirchner denied by van der Gouw.
The Austrians were given a golden opportunity to pull a goal back on 55
minutes when Phil Neville fouled Kocijan in the area and a penalty was
awarded, but Vastic's pitiful spot-kick was saved easily by van der Gouw
who then blocked the rebound.
Sir Alex Ferguson used all three subs in Graz, with Mark Wilson replacing
Keane on the hour, Sheringham coming on for Cruyff, and Solskjaer taking
Cole's place.
United rarely threatened to add to their lead - Yorke had a shot tipped
wide by Sidorczuk, Sheringham shot wide and Beckham's late free-kick was
saved by the Polish 'keeper.
Beckham's other achievement in the second half was to get himself booked,
not for his earlier misdemeanour, but for being the innocent party in an
attempt by Mahlich to rob him of his shirt before the end of the game.
All in all, a very comfortable night for the Reds, and the chance to go top
of the group in a week's time when Marseille come to Old Trafford.

Subject: KEANE INJURY WORRY FOR UNITED - Sporting Life Report
By David Anderson, PA Sport, Graz
Manchester United's 3-0 Champions League victory over Sturm Graz was
achieved at cost after Roy Keane suffered a recurrence of his knee injury.
The United skipper has only just returned following three weeks out, but he
came off in the second half at the Arnold Schwarzenegger Stadion clash in
the second half after he felt his injury again.
Keane, who scored United's opening goal after 16 minutes, is doubtful for
Saturday's Premiership home clash with Southampton.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said: "Roy Keane felt his knee and that's why
we took him off. Hopefully he will be fit for Saturday but you don't know."
Ferguson refused to run down the quality of the Austrian outfit after the
game.
He said: "I think they are a fair side. I think they have good quality in
their side. I don't think they have a great deal of pace about them in the
last attacking third.
"They did produce a lot of good passing that penetrated us and I think we
were a bit fortunate not to lose goals."
If Keane does not recover in time for Saturday's home Premiership clash
with Southampton, his next target will be the Champions League meeting with
Marseille at Old Trafford next Wednesday.
"We hope he (Keane) will be fit for next Wednesday and it's just a matter
of hoping that it will get better as time goes on. He did well to play
tonight."
David Beckham was fortunate not to be sent off for kicking Tomislav Kocijan
just after half-time right in front of the two dug-outs - but Ferguson
claimed he did not see the incident.
Sturm's diplomatic coach Ivica Osim also claimed he did not have a good
view of it.
Osim said "I didn't really see the incident at the beginning of the second
half but I think it's just part of the game and it actually helped
stimulate our team and the spectators as well."
Ferguson pointed the finger at Graz's Roman Mahlich over a later incident
which resulted in him and Beckham getting booked.
"I think the lad tried to go for him (Beckham) and tried to get him booked
and the referee knew he had to balance it after booking the Sturm Graz
player by booking Beckham as well."
United recorded their first Champions League Group D win with three goals
in 17 first-half minutes.
Following Keane's opener, Dwight Yorke netted on 31 minutes and Andy Cole
on 33.
Ferguson was delighted with the victory and he said: "We're pleased to get
our first win and I thought the first half was very very good.
"I thought our attacking play was great and I thought Yorke and Cole were
excellent. They were always a threat to them."
Sturm rallied in the second half and should have scored when Raimond van
der Gouw saved Ivica Vastic's weak penalty.
Ferguson said: "In the second half in the first 20 minutes we could have
lost five goals when Sturm Graz started to penetrate our penalty box very
well."
Ferguson has now set his players a target of seven points from the
remaining four games to qualify.
"It gets us off the mark and we have now got four points," he said. "We
need another seven from our four games to qualify."

home side Sidorczuk is alert and pounces at the feet of the United striker.
40 mins: Gerald Strafner hits a speculative effort after being teed up by
Schupp and for a moment Van Der Gouw looks in trouble, but the ball rises a
few yards over.
36 mins: The Austrians are suddenly buoyed into life and win a free-kick on
the left edge of United's box. The resulting shot sees Vastic force a good
diving save from Van Der Gouw.
35 mins: The Arnold Schwarzenegger Stadium is silent. It looks like Hasta
La Vista for the home team.
33 mins: GOAL - COLE - Yorke finds his strike partner bearing down on goal.
Cole controls it on his chest and pokes in United's third.
31 mins: GOAL - YORKE - United make it two-nil in the simplest of fashions,
Yorke climbing above everyone to head home a Beckham corner.
29 mins: Another Beckham free-kick, this time from 40 yards out, wide
right, causes problems in the home area. Andy Cole has a shot which is
charged down and after the ball pings around like a pinball for a few
moments in the box Sturm unconvincingly clear their lines.
26 mins: Jan-Pieter Martens makes postive inroads into the United back
line, but his low shot is weak and wide.
25 mins: The game is in the middle of a quiet spell, the wind having been
well and truly taken out of the Austrians' sails by that United goal.
23 mins: Berg and Yorke suffer a clash of heads from a Beckham corner, with
Yorke coming off worst and requiring a couple of minutes' treatment.
19 mins: Jordi Cruyff checks inside and finds room to shoot - unfortunately
his finish doesn't match a neat build-up and the shot goes high and wide.
17 mins: GOAL - ROY KEANE - Beckham's free-kick hits the wall, but the ball
comes out to Keane almost 30 yards from goal and his swerving effort goes
over the head of Sidorczuk, who really should have made a save.
15 mins: Dwight Yorke is scythed down to give Beckham another opportunity
from long range.
13 mins: Sturm Graz are dominating the early possession without managing to
carve out any clear-cut chances.
11 mins: Stam commits another foul, bringing down Vastic 35 yards from
goal. Again the United defender escapes with nothing more than a few words
from the Italian referee.
8 mins: The Austrians catch United on the break, with Vastic proving to be
an early threat. The ball appears to bounce up onto the hand of Henning
Berg but appeals for a penalty are waved away. To compound the home side's
misery they don't even receive what looked like a certain corner.
6 mins: Gunther Neukirchner maurades down the left wing and flights a
dangerous-looking cross into United's box which Vastic directs straight at
Van Der Gouw.
4 mins: United break and win a free-kick just outside the box. David
Beckham lines it up from a central location on the edge of the D but the
England man's effort curves away from Kazimierz Sidorczuk's right-hand post.
2 mins: Jaap Stam body-checks Ivica Vastic half way inside his own half but
escapes an early yellow card.
1 min: The hosts' Markus Schupp has the first shot in anger, but the ball
sails harmlessly over Raimond Van Der Gouw's goal.
1 min: Sturm Graz get tonight's Group D encounter under way.

Man Utd monitor Maresca ««
Sir Alex Ferguson, who tried to sign Enzo Maresca before the young Italian
moved to the Hawthorns, is once again tracking him. Sources in
Manchester report that Ferguson has been monitoring the 19 year old's
progress and furthermore that he likes what he has seen.
Maresca has been linked with clubs all over the place recently (Arsenal,
Parma, Lazio etc etc) but he has so far been more than happy to remain
with the Baggies. However if he continues to do well it will surely be only a
matter of time before his relationship with the club is tested to the full.
Sir Alex Ferguson has a formidable reputation for always getting his man
and the fear amongst Baggies' supporters must be that he is now seriously
targeting Maresca. Certainly that is what they are saying in Manchester at
the moment.

Subject: Euro Final posters From: RED KELLY
You may remember a few weeks ago Barry posted a website address which was
selling Euro Final posters. I contacted the photographer privately and have
arranged a more favourable rate for listees. The prints will now sell at
half price, so they will be £5 (five pounds sterling). I now have a supply
of the prints here and will handle the distribution cheaper too.
The print is a montage of two panoramic photos of the team celebrations
taken after the European Cup presentation. The prints are excellent quality
and I think they are well worth having.
The url for the site is still the same (www.sonnet.co.uk/tfa/reds) as are
the payment details, it's only the costs which have changed. You will still
have to make out a cheque, postal order or money order to T.F.A. and post
it to: 'Seeing Red', 73 New Concordia Wharf, Mill Street, London SE1 2BB,
England.
The new postage and packing costs which will need to be added to the £5 for
one print are now:
For UK: £1.20
For Europe: £1.80
For rest of the world: £2.80
Orders of multiple prints to be sent to one address can be negotiated with
the hotmail account via the website, or you could contact me privately if
you'd prefer.
I believe the details on the website will be changed asap.
Cheers

Subject: BUSY FORTNIGHT FOR PALMEIRAS
Tuesday, September 14,1999 15:45
Palmeiras, who United will face in Tokyo in the
Intercontinental Cup in November, have been busy
on and off the field so far in September.
They've played four matches, winning three and drawing
one. But, more excitingly, their star striker, Paolo Nunes,
was nearly kidnapped after being robbed of his car.
Webmaster of the Official Brazilian FA Website, Flavio
Yuck, takes us through their September so far.
Revenge, finally! After being beaten by archrival St Trinians
in last May's Paulista League final, Palmeiras had a
convincing 4-1 win against St Trinians on Sunday 12
September. It was a surprising performance, since
St Trinians are leading the Brazilian championship, while
Palmeiras are lower down the table. Anyway, a 4-1 win
against the freckled gymslip-girly outfit was super!
Rogerio scored in the very first minute of the match to
make it 1-0. In the fifth, a Cesar Salad header made it
2-0. After 10 minutes, Paulo Nowheels scored the third. The
crowd couldn't believe their eyes as the rivals coach was
gunned down in the dugout by his irate chairman.. In the
34th minute, Paulo Nowheels scored again: 4-0 to Palmeiras.
In the second half, with the fans shouting "Stand up if you
hate Manu", Palmeiras stopped attacking. St Trinians scored
through Jail Bait, but it was too little, too late. It was a day for
the Porco fan ("Porco" means pig, the nickname Palmeiras
fans call the fat bastard with the drum who eats all the pies).
The match saw a good recovery in the Brazilian League table:
the club is now in 14th position out of 13 – still badly
placed, but now more optimistic for the near future.
The last two weeks have not been easy ones for
Palmeiras. Brazil played Argentina twice, and international
players Dalex and goalkeeper Fartos missed the two club
matches. Worse than that, Paulo Nowheels had a
"near-kidnapping" on Tuesday 31 August.
The striker was going around Sao Partington in his car when
two scousers stopped him and told the player to let them in the
car. They then recognised Paulo Nowheels, and told him he'd
not be kidnapped. They took his car and some money.
Paulo Nowheels went to a police station the same night.
Two days later, Palmeiras played again. On September 2,
they beat Dinner Plate 3-0, with two goals scored by Opeas.
At the beginning of 1999, Palmeiras beat Dinner Plate 3-0 in
Sao Pendlebury, in the semi-finals of Libertacar Cup.
Rivals Cruzeiro were Palmeiras' opponents on Sunday 5.
Still without Dalex and Fartos, playing with the national
team, the team drew (2-2). Two weeks ago, the two clubs
also had a 2-2 draw at the Lookat Hercor Cup.
In the 5 September match, Palmeiras had many
opportunities to win, but Cruzeiro showed why their team is
still unbeatable in the difficult Brazilian championship. After
45 minutes of pure tedium and a goalless draw, Alex Alves
scored. Palmeiras recovered when Magazinho - World Cup
winner in 1994 - scored with his right fist (he's left handed)
in the 66th minute.
Palmeiras were looking for a winning goal when Cruzeiro
scored again. Marcel Marsou counter-attacked and was
stopped by right-back Ze Black Maria, who fouled him in the
area. Alex Alves, with an overhead penalty kick, scored his
11th goal of the competition, his second of the match.
Tireless and with their spirits high, Palmeiras equalised two
minutes later, after Paulo Nowheels received from Evair and
juggled the ball into the net: 2-2 the final score.
Also this week, Palmeiras travelled to Argentina, where
they beat Argentinian side Hacking 4-2 for the Suitusir
Cup. After this victory, Palmeiras lead Group A of the
Mercosur Cup, with 11 points. Cruzeiro has 7, Dinner Plate 4
points, Hacking remain pointless. The last Palmeiras match
in the first stage of the competition will be against Cruzeiro,
October 6, in Belis Horizonte.
With thanks to Flavio Yuck.

Subject: Solskjaer wanted again ««
United have reportedly turned down a seven and a half million pound bid
from Tottenham Hotspur for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The offer arrived just over 12 months after Spurs agreed a £5.5 million fee
with United for the Norwegian, only for Alex Ferguson to persuade the
striker to stay at the last minute.
Neither club will comment on the report which, although likely to enrage
fans who have become sick with transfer speculation about the European Cup
final hero, addresses a looming situation at the club.
Spurs may not be put off by United's swift reaction and are believed to be
mounting a concerted effort to lure the 26-year-old away.
Solskjaer's form has suffered from not playing regular club football and
the only voices telling him to stay appear to be coming from within Old
Trafford.
His agent, Rune Hauge, brokered the deal which took Oyvind Leonhardsen to
Spurs in the summer and could be lining up more business with Spurs
Director of football David Pleat.
White Hart Lane boss George Graham is on the lookout for a striker to
partner Steffen Iversen - one of Solskjaer's rivals at international level.
Norway boss Nils Johan Semb recently denied having told Solskjaer to find a
new club where he could be guaranteed a regular place.
United fans would be livid if Solskjaer was allowed to leave and the player
would, we believe, only do so as a last resort to recover flagging form if
he thought he was going stale at the club.
