It seems appropriate somehow that the Germans have a special word, schadenfreude, describing the pleasure we take in the misfortune of others. Not that the Germans are the only people who enjoy such things. And of course we enjoy even more the misfortunes of those who usually get everything right and have a high opinion of themselves.
Manchester City (and others) will be cackling over Alex Ferguson's current unease at the lack of goals his team are scoring whilst Carlos Tevez is knocking them in like billyo for Manchester City - 15 goals so far this season, equalling his total for the whole of last season. Sir Alex reckoned he wasn't worth the £25 million asking price. Ronaldo, whom Sir Alex presumably thought was worth the £80 milliion Real Madrid paid for him, meanwhile has scored 13 goals. And Dimitar Berbatov whom Sir Alex bought for £23.4 million has scored 6. Presumably, Sir Alex blames the refereee.
