    Aww, this is not good:D
    [h=3]MU goalie caught shoplifting doughnut[/h] Super-rich Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea was given a yellow card by Tesco — for pinching a £1.19 DOUGHNUT.
    The Spaniard, 20, was quizzed by security staff after he scoffed an Original Glazed ring treat from a Krispy Kreme cabinet at a store in Altrincham, Greater Manchester.
    De Gea was hauled up after being captured on CCTV helping himself to the treat — but escaped a penalty.
    The sticky-fingered stopper — thought to be on £70,000 a week — wolfed down the doughnut in the magazine aisle.
    But as he headed for the exit without paying, he was tackled by security staff — one of whom spoke fluent Spanish.
    They took the keeper, signed from Atletico Madrid in the summer in an £18.3million deal, to the store's "stop and search" room.
    And they made it clear he had made a right howler by giving him a hairdryer treatment that would have made Man U boss Sir Alex Ferguson proud.
    De Gea strode into the Tesco Extra with two Spanish pals.
    A source said: "They weren't very subtle. They swaggered in chatting loudly in Spanish.
    "The security guards who monitor the CCTV watched two of them take a doughnut each out of the Krispy Kreme cabinet.
    "Incredibly, they then appeared to try to leave without paying — or buying anything else for that matter."
    The source said that when challenged and ushered into the search room, de Gea did not seem to know what was going on and "looked pretty embarrassed".
    Last night a Tesco spokesman said: "A customer was spoken to by our security team and the issue was resolved."
    Police were not called and no further action was taken.
    Tesco has a strict policy of a three-month store ban for alleged shoplifters.
    De Gea is regarded as the best young goalkeeper in Europe and was part of the Spain Under-21 team that won this year's European Championship.
    His United career got off to a shaky start but he has recently begun to impress with some fine saves.
    Sir Alex is fully behind his star signing. He said of de Gea earlier this month: "He's 20 years of age and doesn't know the culture of the country.
    "That's a lot to deal with but he has shown great composure about the whole thing.
    "He's not got himself flapping about the goalmouth. I think he's absolutely outstanding. The boy is tremendous." - www.thesun.co.uk

    Surely even he can't do anything if they were down by four, let alone five.

    Three is always possible of course, up until the 121st minute. :)

    RIP Gary Speed

    What an absolute shocker - read about this in the match commentary thread :eek:

    Wales manager Gary Speed found dead
    27 Nov 2011
    The Wales manager Gary Speed has been found dead at his home after apparently committing suicide

    The former Leeds, Everton, Newcastle and Bolton midfielder was found hanged at his home in Chester this morning.

    Police say there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the 42-year-old's death.

    The Football Association of Wales confirmed the news, saying that Speed's family had authorised the release of the information.

    A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: "At 7.08am on Sunday 27 November 2011, Cheshire police was informed of a sudden death at an address in Huntington, Chester.

    "Officers went to the scene where a 42-year-old man was found dead. The next of kin have been informed and have confirmed the identity of the man as Gary Speed.

    "There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death the family have requested that they are left in peace to grieve at this difficult time. A family tribute will be released at a later date but not today."

    Following news of his death, tributes from the world of football were paid.

    The Manchester United striker Michael Owen, who lives near the star, tweeted: "Just cannot believe the news regarding Gary Speed. We waved at each other a couple of days ago dropping our kids off at school. I'm numb."

    Former Wales international Robbie Savage wrote on Twitter: "He was upbeat on phone yesterday we were laughing together, talking football and dancing he was a great teammate and a great friend #RIP."

    Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, tweeted: "Tragic and shocking news about Gary Speed. Fantastic servant of Leeds. Mourned by football. Deepest condolences to his family."

    Wales First Minister Carwyen Jones said the news was "devastating" and that he was deeply saddened, adding: "our thoughts are with his family at what must be a very difficult time for them."

    Speed, who was made a Member of the British Empire (MBE) for services to football last year, leaves a wife and two sons.

    Speed played for Leeds United, Everton, Newcastle United, Bolton Wanderers and Sheffield United in a playing career that spanned 22 seasons before he was made Wales manager last December.

    The news of his death broke a short while before Welsh club Swansea were due to play Aston Villa at the Liberty Stadium and after some debate by the authorities about whether the match would go ahead or not, the decision was taken that it would.

    Four of Speed's Welsh squad started the match: Ashley Williams, Neil Taylor and Joe Allen of Swansea, with their international team-mate James Collins lining up for Villa.

    Speed's former Newcastle United team mate Shay Given, playing in goal for Villa, sobbed openly before the match began.

    A minute's silence before kick-off was broken with the crowd bursting into applause after a few seconds and singing "One Gary Speed, there's only one Gary Speed." The match, played in a subdued atmosphere, ended in a 0-0 draw.

    "He was enjoying outstanding success as Wales team manager and our thoughts are also with those Welsh internationals on duty today for both Swansea City and Aston Villa," the stadium announcer told the crowd.
