Fergie: I want to keep Tevez Eurosport - Wed, 13 May 23:18:00 2009 Sir Alex Ferguson insisted he wants Carlos Tevez to stay at Old Trafford after the Argentinian scored in Manchester United's 2-1 win at Wigan. Tevez equalised with an impudent back-heel after Hugo Rodallega had given the Latics a first-half lead before Michael Carrick scored an 86th-minute winner to leave United only a point away from retaining their Premier League title. Tevez's future has been in the spotlight over the past few days, with the former West Ham player quoted in a Sunday newspaper saying he does not expect to stay at the champions. However, following the victory at the JJB Stadium, Ferguson told Sky: "He is a fantastic player. "He knows I want him to stay. I had a chat with him today and (chief executive) David Gill has had meetings with him. "I'm sorry I have to keep on going on about this, it has never changed. (The fact) we're not negotiating with a football club is the problem - we'll see." Carrick paid tribute to Wigan following his late strike, saying: ''It (my goal) was worth the wait. ''To score goals as important as that is a great feeling - I had to make up for the miss in the first half, it's a great feeling. ''Wigan came at us and caused a few problems. ''It's not the first time we have come from behind - we did it the hard way.'' PA Sport / Eurosport

Man U one point away from EPL title Tevez takes United to brink of title Eurosport - Wed, 13 May 22:58:00 2009 Carlos Tevez inspired a second-half comeback as Manchester United moved to the brink of the Premier League title with a 2-1 win at Wigan. The Argentine came off the bench to cancel out Hugo Rodallega's opening goal in spectacular fashion, before Michael Carrick netted a cool winner five minutes from time. United need just one point from their final two games to retain the title, and can do so in front of their Old Trafford crowd against Arsenal on Saturday. Tevez, who appears set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season, has been the subject of fevered transfer speculation in recent days, but it was his contribution on the pitch that left United fans open-mouthed. Having started the match on the bench, the 25-year-old produced an outrageously inventive back flick to turn in a low Carrick ball just after the hour mark. Tevez has complained about United's reluctance to turn a two-year loan into a permanent deal, but if he had played all season like he has the last two games - he scored a fine goal in the Manchester derby on Sunday - perhaps his future at Old Trafford might already be secured. The bald truth is that six Premier League goals in 29 appearances are not the work of a £30 million striker. Yet if he does go, this goal will be some parting gift. On a wet night at the JJB Stadium, United missed a host of chances before Rodallega's opportunistic opener. Wayne Rooney had the best of those in the 10th minute, when he peeled away unmarked in the box to meet Dimitar Berbatov's clipped cross. Yet somehow the England striker headed wide with Richard Kingson's goal at his mercy. A minute later a clearly furious Rooney started another attack, and United worked the ball around magnificently through Paul Scholes, Berbatov and Cristiano Ronaldo to Carrick, who lifted his shot just over. But United were not alone in their profligacy. With less than two minutes on the clock Antonio Valencia nicked the ball past Jonny Evans - still standing in for the injured Rio Ferdinand - and raced clean through on goal. But the Ecuadorean sent his attempted chip just wide, possibly distracted by the presence of Nemanja Vidic on his shoulder. Another Evans slip let Rodallega through in similar fashion, and although he got his shot on target from 20 yards it never seriously tested Edwin van der Sar. There was nothing the goalkeeper could do on 28 minutes, when Rodallega and Vidic jumped for a header, the ball looped up and both players momentarily lost their bearings, but the Colombian reacted quickest and fired a low shot past Van der Sar at the near post. A livid Vidic thought he had been impeded, and his backchat to referee Rob Styles earned him a stern talking-to. Ronaldo's unhappiness at being denied what he deemed a clear penalty added to United's foul mood, and they left the field for half-time under a collective storm cloud. The Portuguese was down in the Wigan box again after the break, having lost his balance following a Maynor Figueroa challenge. Alex Ferguson has grown to tolerate Ronaldo's pouting, but the 24-year-old's histrionics while the ball was still in play and in the Wigan area will not have pleased his manager. Ronaldo, having scored free-kicks in his last two matches, hit three poor efforts straight into the Wigan wall and produced several other wayward shots. What seemed like a night to forget came good just three minutes after Tevez's introduction just before the hour. Carrick drove a diagonal attempted shot in from the right, the Argentine had no time to set himself but did not have to, propelling the ball into the bottom-right corner with a flick of his right boot. As time wound down, Carrick made another telling contribution. John O'Shea played a low ball to the edge of the box from the right and the midfielder guided a fine left-foot shot into the top-left corner. Alex Chick / Eurosport

Coral Triangle could die by century's end: WWF AFP - Thursday, May 14 MANADO, Indonesia (AFP) - - Climate change could wipe out the world's richest ocean wilderness by the end of the century without drastic cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, environmental group WWF said Wednesday. Rising water temperatures, sea levels and acidity are threatening to destroy the vast region of Southeast Asia known as the Coral Triangle, labelled the ocean's answer to the Amazon rainforest, the WWF said in a new report. Collapse of the reefs would send food production in the region plummeting by 80 percent and imperil the livelihoods of over 100 million people. With too little action on climate change, "you get a world in which you have perhaps tens of millions of people homeless by the inundation of coastlines through rapid sea level rises," report lead author Ove Hoegh-Guldberg said. "You see the erosion of food security and you see a world by the end of this century which is, I think, pretty much a nightmare." WWF Coral Triangle Initiative Network head Lida Pet Soede said the seas in the triangle -- bordered by East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and the Solomon Islands -- were vital sources of biodiversity. "Some of the locations in the Coral Triangle are really important areas for all sorts of fish. The migration of tuna and turtles that spawn in the Coral Triangle are not going to have a next generation," she told AFP. Saving the Coral Triangle will require countries to commit to deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. Heat-trapping carbon gases -- notably from burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas -- are blamed for warming Earth's atmosphere and driving changes to weather patterns, as well as creating acidic seas hostile to much marine life. The warnings come ahead of tough negotiations over a successor agreement to the Kyoto Protocol in the Danish capital Copenhagen in December. Emissions cuts of 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 will be needed to avert the worst effects on the region, home to more than half the world's coral reefs and a lynchpin for ocean life, the WWF said. Local communities and governments will also have to curb over-fishing and pollution, the report said. "If you continue down the path of the over-exploitation of resources, even if you get an incredible reduction in emissions, there will still be a threat," WWF climate campaigner Richard Leck said. The report was released as ministers and officials from over 70 countries meet in the Indonesian city of Manado for the World Ocean Conference, the first global meeting on the relationship between oceans and climate change. Nations at the conference hope to pass a joint declaration aimed at influencing the direction of the Copenhagen talks. A meeting Friday will also see leaders from the six Coral Triangle nations pass a joint plan on conserving the region. Leck said that despite the gloomy forecasts he was impressed by the response from littoral states. "What is amazing is the level of political commitment we are seeing this week," he said. However, report author Hoegh-Guldberg warned: "If we don't get decisive action in Copenhagen, then doing all the enormously important things that we're doing with the Coral Triangle Initiative will be pointless."

Man Utd on brink of title at Wigan Wed 13 May, 01:20 AM AFP/Carl de Souza WIGAN, England (AFP) - Manchester United can move to within one point of wrapping up a third straight Premier League title by beating Wigan here on Wednesday. But Sir Alex Ferguson's stars have been warned by France defender Patrice Evra that they could yet throw the title away if they allow any hint of complacency to creep in ahead of their trip to the JJB Stadium. The World Club champions and Champions League finalists will move six points clear of Liverpool at the summit with two games remaining if they defeat their mid-table opponents. That will leave Sir Alex Ferguson's side requiring a point at home to Arsenal on Saturday to equal Liverpool's record of 18 English titles. Yet Evra is taking nothing for granted as he eyes his own third Premier League winners medal since moving to Old Trafford from Monaco in January 2006. "We're nearly there," said Evra. "If we win against Wigan, it will be very important for winning the title. But it's not finished yet. "We have a Champions League final to look forward to, but we have to put that to the back of our minds and concentrate on the league. "The manager tells us we need to win every game. At Manchester United the aim is always to win. "In March we lost to Liverpool and Fulham, the first time since I arrived that we'd lost two league games in a row. "I've never felt pain like that in my life before and I don't want to feel like that again. "That's why I'm confident we'll finish the job and go on and win the league." Liverpool's form and superior goal difference means United will almost certainly have to win at least one of their remaining three matches to be sure of the title. As a result, Ferguson will be keen to get the job done here rather than having to rely on beating either Arsenal or Hull on the final day of the season when Phil Brown's side may be playing for Premier League survival. History suggests United should take the three points however. United have not lost a league game against Wigan and the last time they visited the JJB Stadium they left with the Premier League trophy after winning 2-0 to clinch the title on the final day of last season. Cristiano Ronaldo scored from the penalty spot in that victory yet the Portugal winger could be rested this time as Ferguson rotates his squad following Sunday's 2-0 victory over Manchester City. Ronaldo reacted with a display of petulance when he was substituted after scoring against City yet Ferguson refused to criticise the player afterwards. Carlos Tevez, whose future remains unclear, may make way for Wayne Rooney even though the Argentina striker scored against City. Tevez celebrated his goal by running to the main stand and cupping his ear as fans chanted "Fergie, Fergie sign him up". Evra is close friends with Tevez, whose two year loan at the club expires in the summer. "I am very pleased for Carlitos. Whenever he plays, he respects the shirt of Manchester United. He is a great professional," added Evra. Wigan are managed by former United captain Steve Bruce, who insists he will put sentiment to one side as he looks to delay his former club's title party. Having enjoyed a largely successful season, Wigan have picked up just one point from the last five games and Bruce is anxious his players finish on a winning note. Wigan captain Mario Melchiot revealed that Bruce let rip after Saturday's 3-1 defeat at West Brom. "The gaffer was understandably upset," said Holland international Melchiot. "It's a big game coming up against Manchester United which is going to be tough, but it's one we're looking forward to. "The big games are always special occasions and we hope to perform a lot better." Wigan will be without Egypt striker Amr Zaki because of a knee injury while former England keeper Chris Kirkland is also struggling with a back injury. Ferguson will give late fitness tests to centrebacks Rio Ferdinand, who missed the derby match with a calf strain, and Jonny Evans, who limped out of the win over City with a hamstring problem. John O'Shea will partner Nemanja Vidic if neither Ferdinand nor Evans is fit to play.

Premier League - Murphy: Sympathy for Tevez plight Eurosport - Tue, 12 May 19:49:00 2009 Fulham captain and Eurosport-Yahoo! blogger Danny Murphy says he understands Carlos Tevez's frustration at Manchester United. I sympathise with Tevez's situation at United. When you play really well and contribute to such a brilliant season as he did last term, winning the Champions League and Premier League, it is a shame to then be pushed out by new signings. That said, Dimitar Berbatov is a wonderful player too, and a team like United needs a squad of players. Ultimately, it's a case of who is happy to play less and rotate, but Tevez hasn't played in a lot of the big games and those are the ones you want to participate in. It is always frustrating to find yourself on the fringes if you care about playing. Some players are happy to be a squad player but I've always found it very difficult. When you are younger you accept it more as it is part of learning the trade, but as I've got older playing is everything to me. It is a reward for training all week. That's why I think sometimes players have to leave clubs where they are happy. I know Tevez has a great relationship with the fans but for his own benefit and happiness he might find he has to go. When I was at Tottenham it was really frustrating because it was a great club and I wanted to do well, but I was only playing sporadically and in that situation you never feel like you can show what you have got to offer. Your everyday life aside from footballer can suffer, too. Sometimes you have to leave for your own self worth and that is what happened when I moved from Liverpool. The new manager Rafa Benitez came in and fortunately showed me enough respect to say I might not be a regular any more with the new people coming in. For me it was a very difficult decision and I have had to come to terms with it, but I didn't want to end my days there not playing as I have wonderful memories from my time there. You want to be appreciated by a manager rather than have him feeling like he is stuck with you. That's not healthy. As for Tevez's owners' valuation of £30 million, I'm not sure any players are worth that much apart from Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo because they score so many goals and can win matches on their own. They are the two best players in the world and, while Tevez is a fantastic player, he isn't up to that level. I think that is partly why United have stalled on buying him. We will have to see how it all unfolds. Third-party ownership is strange and we are not used to it in this country. I don't think it helps the player because the future is out of his hands and dictated by other people. It might be common in South America but I don't think there is any future for it over here. I don't think the players I know would be at all happy being owned by a third party. Danny Murphy / Eurosport

Ferguson riled by Tevez issue as United go top AFP - Monday, May 11 LONDON (AFP) - - Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson refused to be drawn on the future of Carlos Tevez after watching the Argentine striker score the second goal in a 2-0 victory over Manchester City on Sunday. Tevez revealed in a newspaper interview published earlier on Sunday that he was likely to leave the club in the summer and was upset by United's failure to offer him a new contract. The former West Ham forward celebrated his 45th-minute strike by cupping his hands to his ears right in front of the United bench, and Ferguson reacted angrily when pressed about the player's future in a post-match interview. "He's a United player," Ferguson told Sky Sports, before conceding that Tevez's never-say-die attitude had won him the hearts of the club's fans. "They love triers," he said. "The fans always take to that." Asked when Tevez's future at the club would be sorted out, Ferguson snapped: "I'm not going into that at all." Tevez has in recent months complained about limited first-team opportunities with United, for whom he scored 19 goals in 39 appearances as they won the Premier League and Champions League last season, and hinted last month he was ready to leave Old Trafford. Ferguson responded by saying he was optimistic of holding onto the on-loan frontman, but Tevez said he is growing increasingly frustrated with United, claiming a lack of first-team appearances has affected his confidence. He said he is ready to move to another Premier League club even if it meant a drop in wages. "It is good-bye," he told The Sunday Telegraph. "I respect the fans and it has been a great two years. Obviously in the last year my participation on the pitch has been less but that has been the choice of the coach, not my choice. "I have given everything I possibly can to the shirt of Manchester (United) and I'm grateful to the fans. But I'm leaving and I do so with my head held high." The complicated background to Tevez's contract status means he is only on loan at Old Trafford and is a free agent at the season's end with the ability to walk out on United. Iranian businessman Kia Joorabchian's company MSI own Tevez's registration. Joorchabian claimed on Sunday he had received an offer of 40 million pounds from a foreign club for Tevez. United's win against neighbours City gave them a three-point lead over Liverpool at the top of the Premier League and means they need four points from their three remaining fixtures to retain the title.

Chelsea crush Arsenal 4-1 !!! 09 May 2009 18:44 A sense of anti-climax will hang heavy over the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal and Chelsea return to Premier League action on Sunday after their dispiriting exits from the Champions League in midweek. Although the manner of Arsenal's comprehensive semi-final defeat to Manchester United couldn't have contrasted more with Chelsea's agonising stoppage time loss to Barcelona, the end result was same; a nine-month quest to be crowned king of Europe for the first time terminated with the holy grail within touching distance. Although Chelsea were closer to reaching the Rome final, the consequences for both these London rivals will be felt long after the bitter memories have started to fade. While the history books will record that Andreas Iniesta's away goal was the cause of Chelsea's exit, no player or supporter at Stamford Bridge blamed anyone but Norwegian referee Tom Henning Ovrebo, who turned down four strong penalty claims by Guus Hiddink's team. Defeat in such controversial circumstances was too much to take for Didier Drogba, who harangued Ovrebo as he left the pitch and continued his foul-mouthed rant to a live television audience before running down the tunnel to continue his verbal assault of the referee. Hiddink insists Drogba, who could miss Sunday's game with an ankle injury, won't be punished by Chelsea because he apologised publicly. But the Ivory Coast striker and team-mate Michael Ballack, who is also accused of abusing Ovrebo, could face lengthy European bans and it remains to be seen if either will even be at Chelsea next season. With Hiddink set to return to his role as Russia coach, there are likely to be substantial changes on the horizon for an aging team that once has fallen short in Europe once too often and Drogba and Ballack could lead the departures. Hiddink knows Chelsea, six points behind leaders United, must refocus because a win this weekend would stretch their lead over fourth-placed Arsenal to nine points with only two games to play, giving the Blues a guaranteed place in the Champions League next season, while Arsenal would have to endure the qualifying stages. "We must be strong. The players must put what happened behind them and be very energetic," Hiddink said. Wenger expects Chelsea to find it harder to get back on track quickly than Arsenal because Hiddink's team suffered a more crushing exit. "I believe Chelsea have the right to be more disappointed than us because they were qualified and you could not see how Barcelona could come back," Wenger said. "The game on Sunday will be down to the team who deals best with the disappointment, who wants it more and who has more strength of character." While Chelsea try to recover their equilibrium, Wenger stubbornly refuses to let the obvious gulf in class between his side and United change his philosophy of youth development. The Arsenal boss will look to strengthen his squad in the close-season but he has no intention of bringing in new faces at the expense of the club's emerging talent. "If you look at our team on Tuesday, our oldest player in midfield was 22. They were in the best four teams in Europe, so why should we panic?" Wenger said. "I believe we have to take on the chin the critics, but it is down to how strongly we believe in ourselves and how good I think the team is. "You cannot imagine that we work as we did with young players and give them a chance, then let them go. "We are criticised because we play young players, then we are supposed to let them go when they are in a position where they start to perform at the top level? That is not acceptable." Wenger's hopes of closing the gap on Chelsea will be dented if Andrey Arshavin fails to recover from a virus that forced the Russian midfielder to miss two days training this week.
