As soon as he'd lost his markers, the ball came down and he tried to clear it.<BR/><BR/>I'd call it showboating if it came to him on the ground, in the corner and he flicked it up onto his head and then juggled it across the pitch.<BR/><BR/>United On Firehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03390139745815912894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33581513.post-50851742104327072772008-02-19T14:57:00.000+00:002008-02-19T14:57:00.000+00:00FYI and for FWIW I have actually played competitiv...FYI and for FWIW I have actually played competitive football and I wasn't a bad player.<BR/><BR/>Wenger and Ferguson, fresh after the heat of battle got it wrong plain and simple.<BR/><BR/>Nani did nothing wrong.James Ryddel - Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18341271207454849421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33581513.post-43412424657962380362008-02-19T13:38:00.000+00:002008-02-19T13:38:00.000+00:00If I was a supporter of Man U - I'd cheer Nani's ...If I was a supporter of Man U - I'd cheer Nani's antics. However - Wengers and Fergie's comments are a reference to the unwritten rule between professionals that you don't showboat, show off or generally rub peoples nose it by doing tricks.

He was not just simply retaining possession, he was bobbing the ball on your head and running away from goal. That doesn't impress me at all.
