Football 2010-2011

[The Nal]

I saw on Sky News this morning that Fergie has been moaning (off camera) about Luiz's leg out to take down Rooney, saying Luiz should have been sent off .... yet if Luiz should have been off for that then Vidic should have been off in the first half when he did exactly the same thing to one of Chelsea's players and earnt himself a yellow. Same old Fergie.

Rumblings from Goodison tonight according to Tony Evans of The Times.

[Benj]

A fantastic goal by Luiz too.

[eFestivals]

That would've been Luiz's 2nd yellow, thats what he meant. Vidic got a yellow for his hack. Any excuse though Neil right?

I genuinely thought that Luiz got a yellow for taking Rooney down. But with both you and Steve saying the same thing I guess I'm wrong.

But I remember Luiz coming up to the ref and holding up one finger to indicate it was his first foul, and the ref then giving him a card.

If I'm wrong, I blame the beer.

[Wooderson]

That fat koppite c**ts belly I suspect

[ampersand]

He looks like he's gonna be absolutely f**king brilliant

There arent many quality impartial footie journos around any more. I can think of two or three off the top of my head. Sam Wallace for example.

[Tugger2k]

utd taking a decision well again i see

no place for that in football, NONE!!

[Benj]

find it funny that the centre half worth half the price has scored before torres. and a peach too!

yet every time i go on paddy power to bet, torres first scorer is one of the top 5 of the day.

[Tugger2k]

Its not exactly like he was cheap!

You know Torres is going to slot at some point, I suspect once he gets one, he'll get a hatful too, I reckon Chelsea may go on a bit of a run now

That was for the ealier foul. He should have gone for the one on Rooney

the foul I've mentioned was on Rooney.

And it's also the foul they showed on Sky News this morning when they were talking about Fergie's moaning.

[Tugger2k]

aye, half the value of torres will never be cheap.

i dunno though, i can see a shevchenko of bigger proportions happening. of course he'll score, but i don't see him coming anywhere close to drogba's sort of record. and i'm sure he'll be on the treatment table before he gets a hatful.

But Fergie knows that was a big result for the league. That’s the kick Arsenal were looking for after their loss at the weekend

[The Nal]

maybe a good time to put a bet on man utd then? you know what the odds are like?

arsenal will bottle it, i've no doubt about that.

[ampersand]

Dunno mate, Utds away form is awful. They’ve only put in about 3 or 4 good performances this season, home and away. Even Wigan should’ve been ahead at the weekend if it wasn’t for Van Der Man, who is playing great this season. I think hes the best keeper in the league at the moment and Vidic is the best central defender. Without those two Utd wouldn’t be top at the moment.

[eFestivals]

you're not top of the league for nothing though. and i think the carling cup final tells you everything you need to know about arsenal. great team but there's something missing.

oh c'mon - I don't think the Carling Cup says much at all, at least not by itself.

Any team can lose any game, and Brum played great on the day - way above what anyone expected of them. Plus Arsenal had two of their better players out.

Where I do think the CC is going to impact is where Arsenal go after that defeat. They could fall apart, or it could spur them on to ensure they do better in the other competitions.

Fergie can shut up. Rooney dived in the box, the Ref did nothing, no yellow card, no free kick for the chavs, United scored 30 seconds later.

if possible, play with sound for the full effect

SAF wasn't complaining when Atkinson blew up just before Everton got their 4th , and a winner, back in September. Or when he sent two Wigan players off against them.

[worm]

care to tell us how swapping the current situation of imperfect ref decisions but with perfect play from those refs decisions for a system with perfect ref decisions but imperfect play from those decisions within the game - which is what you're suggesting - is any improvement?
