Pires on French radio:
"Van Nistelrooy's violence was a disgrace. In the space of a quarter of an hour they really tried to intimidate us, with Van Nistelrooy's tackles and Scholes' tackle from behind on Patrick Vieira.
"If you're talking about butchers, you should look at what Scholes did to Vieira.
"What is regrettable is that, in the end, the referee only gave them yellow cards, because for what happened in the space of a quarter of an hour those two should have been off."
Dearie me.
