It's freezin here in Manchester. Just popped outside and it feels like -3C (27F). sO Wrap up warm if you're going to the game.
Rafael Fined by F.A.
The FA have slapped an £8,000 fine on Manchester United's Brazilian right-back Rafael, following his hot headed rant at referee, Mike Dean.
Rafael was harshly sent off by the referee in United 0-0 Premier League draw at Spurs, after picking up a second yellow card.
Thankfully the FA used some common sense over the matter, but have swelled their coffers with £8,000; not bad for 10 minutes work!

Laet at the End of the Tunnel
United utility defender Richie De Laet is set to join Portsmouth in on a 6 month loan deal. The fleet footed Belgian has failed to make his mark on Manchester United's first team, since his shock move from Stoke City in 2009 is hoping to get some decent competitive action under his belt as he aims to forge a successful career at United.
I'm an admirer of De Laet and I think this loan move will do him good. Although I don't think he'll turn out to be better than either of the United's Brazilian twins, Fabio and Rafael, he should come back as a stronger player.
I fancy a Corry!
United youngster Corry Evans has been loaned out to Hull for the the remainder of the season. The 20 year old Northern Ireland international is hoping that the move will help provide him with the tools to break into the Manchester United first team.
United have an abundance of midfield talent so a loan move is a wise one. The player is in desperate need of first team football, so his move to Humberside should be a fruitful one.
Wes Brown For Spurs?
My personal view is that I can't see this transfer going through – Oooh a rhyme. Wes Brown is arguably United's best right-back and can provide experienced cover for Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic at the heart of United's defence. He stays!
