Bill's Daily Comment:

It was Andy Cole's day today!
4 GOALS! Now who said Andy can't finish?
Not that Andy had anything to prove to anyone,
but he sure did silence his critics today.
Well done Andy!

RED HOT ANDY COLE!
Andy Cole struck four times against his old club
Newcastle as Manchester United crushed the
managerless Magpies 5-1 at Old Trafford.
Cole piled on the misery for Alan Shearer and the Toon
Army with a superb display of finishing.
Newcastle, who lost manager Ruud Gullit on Saturday, lost
central defender Nicos Dabizas on Monday.
He was red-carded early in the second half for disputing
Cole's second goal.
United knew that victory would again take them three
points clear at the top of the Premiership.
And they went ahead on 14 minutes as Cole moved onto a
Paul Scholes pass to shoot past Tommy Wright.
Newcastle recovered from that blow to fashion a bizarre
equaliser on 31 minutes.
Henning Berg turned the ball into his own goal as he tried to
clear a Kieron Dyer cross.
United were back in front a minute into the second half as
Cole beat Dabizas to a long ball and took the ball round
Wright to score.
The Greek defender felt he'd been nudged off the ball by
Cole and complained, but all he received after arguing his
case was the red card.
The result was no longer in doubt on 65 minutes when Cole
profited from another long pass to hammer a shot past
Wright.
And six minutes later it was 4-1 as the same player turned
on a Gary Neville pass and crashed another low drive into
the corner of the net.
Ryan Giggs completed the misery for Newcastle 10
minutes from time with a volley past the despairing Wright.
The result leaves Newcastle still second from bottom in the
table, with only one point from six games.
After the game Cole refused to criticise Kevin Keegan for
not including him in the England squad to face Luxembourg
and Poland.
"Kevin has picked the England squad. He's picked the
centre-forwards that he's picked and it's not for me to get
uptight about it.
"It's not for me to get upset about it. The most important
thing for me is to stay in the Manchester United team."
Newcastle caretaker boss Steve Clarke was unhappy
about the Dabizas sending-off, but kept his comments on
the safe side just 48 hours after being handed temporary
charge.
"It's difficult for me to comment," he said.
"I've only been caretaker manager for one game and I don't
want to get done by the FA.
"I think the sending-off came as a result of a dubious
decision.
"It looked like a push in the back to me that led to the
second goal and from that, the sending-off occurred, and
from there, it was always going to be a difficult afternoon
for us.
"In the first-half, the lads were very, very focused," he said.
"I'd like to publicly thank them for their support and efforts
over the last few days.
"They showed for 45 minutes that, if you give them a level
playing field, they can compete with the best."

Subject: FOUR-GOAL COLE STAKES ENGLAND CLAIMS
Andy Cole shook off the disappointment of missing out on England
selection to shatter managerless Newcastle United with a
four-goal blast.
The Manchester United striker scored after 14, 46, 65 and 71
minutes to take his tally against his former club to eight in
nine games and condemn them to a 5-1 defeat.
His task was made easier when Greek defender Nikos Dabizas was
dismissed for protesting furiously after appearing to be fouled
by Cole as he collected his second, but the quality of his
finishing was as breathtaking as ever. Cole refused to criticise
England coach Kevin Keegan for leaving him out of his England
squad for the Euro 2000 qualifiers against Luxembourg and Poland.
"Kevin has picked the England squad. He's picked the
centre-forwards that he's picked and it's not for me to get
uptight about it.
"It's not for me to get upset about it. The most important thing
for me is to stay in the Manchester United team." Asked if he
thought he might get a belated call-up from England due to
injuries, Cole replied: "You're always going to relish the
chance to play for England but I think there are other people in
front of me. I'll just wait and see." United boss Sir Alex
Ferguson also refused to criticise Keegan and then praised Cole
for his response.
He said: "I think it's a very difficult job for Kevin Keegan
with the strikers he's got. He's got four fantastic strikers and
it's no discredit to Andy.
"Andy understands that and the great thing about him is that
he's shown it's not affected him by scoring four goals. His
third and fourth goals were outstanding and his finishing was
tremendous."

Subject: United target double swoop
Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to make a double transfer swoop with
Venezia goalkeeper Massimo Taibi, and a top central defender
set to join the club. The interest in Taibi has been confirmed,
whilst United are said to have expressed a strong interest in a
top central defender also playing with a foreign club.
The deals have to go through in the next 24 hours to ensure
Champions' League eligibility and it is obvious the United boss
is concerned about the early season injury crisis which has hit
his squad, exposing weaknesses with a lack of cover in goal and
central defence.
New 'keeper Mark Bosnich is currently sidelined with a
hamstring injury, picked up during the 2-0 win over Leeds a
fortnight ago, and unlikely to play again for another two
weeks. Raimond van der Gouw took over from Bosnich part way
through the Leeds game and replaced him for the trip to Arsenal
a week later, but it was during this win that the chink showed
in United's armour.
After Van der Gouw was hurt in the last minute of the game at
Highbury, Sir Alex realised his only cover was the untried 21
year old Nick Culkin, and there was a race against the clock to
get the Dutchman fit for the game at Coventry.
Taibi is valued at around £4 million by Venezia, United have
bid £500,000 less than the asking price and are confident
everything will be sorted out tomorrow, which is deadline day
for the first phase of the Champions' League.
United have denied German veteran Jurgen Kohler is the
centre-half they are chasing and say as yet the player they are
ready to sign has not been mentioned in any speculative
stories. Sir Alex plans to unveil his man once the deal has
been completed.

Subject: Beckham set for top accolade
David Beckham is ready to follow in the famous footsteps of Sir
Bobby Charlton, by winning the European Footballer of the Year
award. The Manchester United and England midfielder is set to
be crowned European Footballer of the Year, bridging a gap of
over 30 years since the coveted award was last presented to a
player from Old Trafford.
Beckham was given official European recognition last week when
UEFA presented him with two Champions' League honours, as the
continent's Most Valuable Player and Best Midfielder in the
competition last season.
The Footballer of the Year prize comes from French magazine
L'Equipe and is due to be announced soon. According to informed
sources Beckham is well ahead of the field and firm favourite
to take the award.
It will make him the fourth United player to win the prize.
Denis Law started things in 1964, Sir Bobby followed two years
later, and George Best took the prize in 1968.
