Rumour has it that Ruud Van Nistelrooy is contemplating taking legal action against Patrick Vieira which many observers might regard as a step up from the illegal action he is alleged to have taken against him in the past.
According to excerpts from Patricks autobiography in the News of the World, the ex-Arsenal skipper has pulled no punches - branding Van Nistelrooy a cheat, a coward, sneaky, a nasty piece of work and a son of a bitch and adding for good measure that everyone at Arsenal hates him. Clear evidence that Vieira has the same talent for diplomacy as Roy Keane.
It has to be acknowledged, however, that Ruuds unpopularity is not confined to Arsenal and cynics may say that Vieira is simply articulating what virtually everyone outside the red half of Manchester is thinking.
But if he does take legal action, and he wins, it will probably be the first time Ruud Van Nistelrooy has ever got the better of Patrick Vieira.
