Evans never feared United axe

Sunday, 14 August 2011

Self-assured Jonny Evans last night admitted he never once feared the Old Trafford axe this summer — despite the arrival of England under-21 sensation Phil Jones from Blackburn Rovers and the emergence of Chris Smalling.

Evans, who has been at Manchester United since signing schoolboy forms as a 16-year-old, came in for stinging criticism last season after a number of below-par performances for Manchester United, particularly in the games against Everton and West Ham.

The 23-year-old from Newtownabbey was even sent off for a horrendous challenge on Bolton’s Stuart Holden, which ended the USA international’s season and saw Evans banned from the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City at Wembley.

• Why my kids feel Olympics are not the real thing now

I did quite well in my school exams, but the only thing for which I can confidently say I stood out like a beacon among my fellow pupils was my record-breaking 100-metres dash.

• Think your money is legal tender? Don’t bank on it

Readers have a habit of shining spotlights on unexpected issues that throw up interesting queries. Or, on occasion, a downright can of worms.

• World must open its eyes and see Israel for what it is

Why pick on Israel when there's so much injustice in the rest of the world? The answer is to be found in the specific circumstances which gave rise to the launch of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) campaign in July 2005.

• PR machine is driving Sinn Fein power push

Sinn Fein's ard fheis opens in Killarney tomorrow. Like most conferences held by successful political parties, it is a well-managed set-piece. It is a PR event and it is aimed at the voters watching on TV.

• Why bringing up our kids should be child's play... or maybe it's not

Nurse, the screens! Yup, top experts have issued new warnings about kiddies watching nothing but tellies and computers, while real life flits by unnoticed outside.
