Yes, he was the matchwinner against Bay...oh, wait
There is no denying that Balemania was boosted significantly by his antics vs. Inter. That is why he is currently getting more praise than Nani. What's contestable or hard to understand about that?

What antics? Do you mean the goals and assists?
The media is a fickle bunch, it's the big matches that unfairly decide the outcome of their hype, as they don't watch all matches the same way fans do.
That is one of the main reason why I've often aired my dislike of Peter Schmeichel the pundit. He's the Champions League host here in Denmark, and he spouts so much rubbish it's unreal - it's obvious that he only watches us play now and again and against the big clubs and as a result of this his analyses of our players are often completely wrong and based on a couple matches fresh in his memory.
And the worst part is, the general public, who also doesn't watch United regularly, take Schmeichel and other "experts'" opinions as gospel.
That being said, Bale has been excellent ever since January just like Nani, so he deserves the praise he's been getting.

Well, he did win us the match. I reckon his man of the match showing against a good Bayern side in the quarter finals is far more impressive than Bale's performances against an injury-ravaged and inept Inter side in the knock-out stages. Bale gets all the attention he does because he's British, just imagine if he was fecking English...
By the way, is anyone still willing to say Malouda is better?
Same in Ireland, though let's face it, the likes of Dunphy and Giles are a joke. They seem completely unwilling to accept Nani for the player he is due to his past problems. It's like what he does is invisible to them. In fairness to Shearer and co. on MoTD on Saturday, they did say he was fantastic and has really progressed.
Nani has been better than Bale this season and overall in the calender year, maybe he doesn't completely bum rape defenders as much, but his goals and assists ratio is just magnificent.
I hope, when we go 4-5-1 that we see something like
Berbatov
Rooney - Nani
Rooney - Nani
Took him time to get to grips with the PL just as it took Nani time to realise his potential.Malouda may not be that much better or worse but his goals haul from last season was impressive
I wonder if it falls over whenever someone approaches it?
If I were Nani I would hide my medals in a safer place than that.
But the statue itself sounds ridiculously funny.
But the statue itself sounds ridiculously funny.Nani is the best winger in the country. People don't rate him because they dont like him and see through his ability. Shame really. Imagine the hype if bale did what nani did to arsenal.
Absolutely, and it can only be an advantage that the footballing nation hasn't picked up on this yet.
For me, there's simply more to him than Bale and Malouda.
I've been very impressed with him this year - the potential was always there, he has now learned to use his head.
What's impressed me most is the way he almost effortlessly gets past players with his tricks, feigns and step-overs. Whenever he has the ball, I just don't feel like he'd lose it.

Iyt seems that way. but imagine if we could play a natural left footer down the left and Nani down the right?
Truth be told though. Valencia-Nani in form is worth having also.
Is he still in hiding trying to avoid arrest for raping Chimbonda?

I honestly wonder if having a naturally left footed winger will be of any benefit to our system. Other night against Rangers, Giggsy was constantly on the inside - hardly touching the sideline.
Do we play in this manner out of necessity because of the players we have or is it more of a case of on the left right now we have our fullback provide the most width and on the right side that we have the winger mostly hugging the touchline.
In any case - don't think that there is any out and out left footed winger that right now that would be better than Nani on the left that we can get.
What I would like to see though like when Park is on, is both of them switch wings through the game more than they do now. Having wingers on the field that can pop up on either side was effective when we had Ronaldo and Nani switching things up.
Wenger: Nani is 1600 times more intelligent than I am

It's Nani's "opinion" Wenger you pleb! Take it with a pinch of salt.
1600 times more intelligent because Wenger has managed 1600 games?
Oh I see what he's... no, I don't get it. Bizarre.
Oh I see what he's... no, I don't get it. Bizarre.
Wenger will look tad stupid at the end of the season
What a numbertard.
330m United fans know Arsenal can't win, so collectively we're 5.28E11 times more intelligent than Wenger.
hehe Nani has wind up Wenger badly....
No he hasn't. Wenger was asked the direct question during the course of 15-minute press conference and dealt with it quite amusingly (a muffled titter ran around the room). He usually handles press events in a fun way in contrast to Ferguson's sourly unpleasant efforts where junior reporters are scared to ask basic questions.
And saves his Monty Python like hysterics for the touchline instead?
Junior reporters amusing press conference of the year award.
Congratulations on that. Your ability to continually get one up on United is clearly something to be admired Pete.

:muffled titter:
Ferguson acts like a turd in those press conferences.
Nani must've been baffled that he wasn't on the preliminary Ballon D'or list. What a bizarre exclusion, that was.
Pfft... Depends on mood and questions, but Fergie's had a fair few press conferences where he's been amiable and funny.
I used to rate you Pete, but the last couple of years you've started too look like a grudge-filled old fecker.
Before I get a volley of sarcasm aimed at me, no I don't expect this to affect you ;P

Unless you a play for Barcelona or B, manged to be in a world cup final and play for Inter, you're not worth a pinch of shit.
So cruel... (sobs) just before Xmas too.
I pre-empted your sarcasm, you unoriginal twit.
You didn't though did you?
peter is a bitter old man.
"journalists" are a cancer on the game anyway, dont see why you should be nice to them when theyd just as soon ruin you in the papers if it would get a read.
I find Wengers press conferances extremely dull myself, they are all far to samey for me its always the same shite of 'the teams young' 'we are progressing' 'need time' 'we can challenge' etc etc etc
Change the record please.
Change the record please.
Maybe not the exact response, but I did assume a sarcastic "oh noes, this ruins my day :'(" was forthcoming, like a bad McIntyre punchline.
I've always thought that the true test of a manager's metel is whether or not he can make journalists give amused titters at press conferences; if he's extra special friendly with the juniors then that's just a bonus really. I'd happily swap all of Fergie's enormous trophy haul for a more pleasant press conference atmosphere; Arsenal are top of the league imho, top of the most important league that is, top of the Barclays Press Conference Amusing Titter Don't Scare The Juniors Premier League. Well done Arsene!
Before exercising yourself with the predictability of the response you might have addressed the banality of the original post.
