FA Semi Final weekend so just the 6 games

[Marc Overmars]

Looks like a bit of a shite ass round of fixtures.

[GP]

Looks like a bit of a shite ass round of fixtures.

Arsenal and Norwich will be the only home wins.

[Cripps_orig]

In terms of the race for CL places, we're the only ones playing so a bit shit.

Dont care about the title or relegation battles.

Spuds and Chelsea are in Cup action and i assume Newcastle were due to play one of the 4 semi finalists hence their weekend off.

[Master Splinter]

The return of the pub-team table :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A weekend with nothing riding on it for us.

:dance:

[Cripps_orig]

I guess this is the ultimate "only interested in these fixtures due to FFL and IKTS purposes" weekend

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I could do with some, I've had a shocker.

[Cripps_orig]

This could be the weekend we are officially out of the title race tbh

Come on Villa and Norwich

I know 99.999999% of gooners think we have no chance but for Ollie and um well just him, bet he still thinks it on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tevez starts for Citeh again.

Soccer Saturday in a few minutes. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:haha:

Le Tiss just nailed Charlie in the face with crumpled up paper.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Genesis. :sick:

[Syn]

"here come four of the 'downs'"

:haha:

Never a truer word said.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

I did think that too. Stelling. :bow:

[Syn]

Thommo says ref should apologise. And everyone's disgusted with the decision not to ban Balotelli.

Arsenal haven't really made a big deal about it at all. The fairies.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich: Ruddy, Martin, Ward, Ryan Bennett, Drury, Elliott Bennett, Howson, Johnson, Pilkington, Holt, Wilbraham.
Subs: Steer, Morison, Jackson, Surman, Hoolahan, Fox, Naughton.

Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, De Jong, Barry, Nasri, Tevez, Aguero, Silva.
Subs: Pantilimon, Richards, Milner, Dzeko, Johnson, Kolarov, Toure.

Referee: Chris Foy (Merseyside)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Silva should've scored, straight at Ruddy from close range.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tevez booked for diving.

:haha:

Definitely wasn't a dive.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lescott clears off the line from Holt!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich 0-1 Citeh, Tevez. What a goal.

[Cripps_orig]

0-1 City

Tevez

[Rors]

Poor stuff Ruddy.

[Ernesto]

Meh, if it stays like this, we can't win the league on goal difference. Unless both Manc clubs lose in the derby, that is :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich 0-2 Citeh, Aguero. Great move and finish.

[Rors]

The troll is having fun out there. It'll never last.

[Ernesto]

Awesome goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good effort from Holt, Hart with the ISS save.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clichy. :haha:

Great shot.

Nasri booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 HT. Delia to inspire the crowd again in a game against Citeh?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich 1-2 Citeh, Surman!

Hart came out for a cross and punched it straight down to Surman to volley it back in. :lol:

[Rors]

Norwich get one back, Surman.

Flap-ola from Hart. It will never happen again...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save by Ruddy to deny Zabaleta.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good block by Tevez to deny Aguero a likely goal. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nasri hauled off, Yaya on.

[Cripps_orig]

Norwich playing well apparently

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilbraham off, Morison on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-3 Tevez.

[Marc Overmars]

About to put Ben Arfa in my FF team. Only question is, do I replace Larsson or Sinclair? I will go with GW's decision.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-4 Aguero. :blink:

[Cripps_orig]

1-4

Aguero

Man City are doing it

[Rors]

Alright, with the fucking Poznan now...

[Cripps_orig]

About to put Ben Arfa in my FF team. Only question is, do I replace Larsson or Sinclair? I will go with GW's decision.Ben Arfa doesnt play this gameweek so leave it for a few more days

But i have all 3 in my team

[Syn]

Fantastic goal, that.

[LDG]

1-4

Aguero

Man City are doing it

Good for us if they are tbf.

We need them to beat Newcastle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-5 Tevez hat-trick. :blink:

[Cripps_orig]

Thank fuck he didnt play v us

[Marc Overmars]

Early season Man City. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Tevez hauled off

[Niall_Quinn]

Typical city, 5 outrageous flukes to keep them in the game.

[Syn]

Man City destroying another pub team.

In the games that matter, they usually crumble. Will be interesting if Man Utd drop a cpoule of points soon - really hoping the game against Man Utd can change the look of the table but doubt it will.

[Master Splinter]

United will most likely beat Villa 6-0.

So Mancini, in trying to be cute and clever and attempting mind games, was actually right for once.

If United bottle the title, Fergie will probably kill himself.

[Cripps_orig]

Mancs will destroy Villa tomorrow so back to 5 points.

Who has the tougher run in?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

1-4

Aguero

Man City are doing it

Nah its only a pub team they beat, UTD will win the next two games (with the help of refs) then City will go and bottle the derby in 2 weeks anyways.

[GP]

United will most likely beat Villa 6-0.

So Mancini, in trying to be cute and clever and attempting mind games, was actually right for once.

If United bottle the title, Fergie will probably kill himself.

Hope so.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Johnson couldn't get his +1. :lol: Clips the bar.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mancs will destroy Villa tomorrow so back to 5 points.

Who has the tougher run in?

Citeh because Man Utd just have to win their next three and they win it at the Etihad.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero smacks the post. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Sunderland: Mignolet, Bardsley, Turner, Kilgallon, Richardson, Larsson, Gardner, Colback, McClean, Bendtner, Sessegnon. Subs: Westwood, Bridge, Campbell, Vaughan, Ji, Meyler, Kyrgiakos.

1-6 :lol:

Nasri will be £10k richer

[Dennis Bendtner]

A cookie for anyone who sits through the rest of today's games. Christ that is rubbish (cue 20 goals)

[Ernesto]

Clichy has a haircut that a student from Year 9 would be proud of.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-6 FT. :blink:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

1-6 :lol:

Nasri will be £10k richer

You do forget UTD have a game in hand.

[Cripps_orig]

You do forget UTD have a game in hand.City will probably win something next year.

We probably wont

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Probs true, even so if they don't win the league we can still laight at them right.

I know you like to laugh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Instead of posting the Swansea v Blackeye team news, Chris Bevan posted the Sunderland v Wolves team news twice. :haha:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Mancs will destroy Villa tomorrow so back to 5 points.

Who has the tougher run in?

The derby is both their toughest fixutes apart from Everton at home for UTD and Barcodes away for city. other then that its all put teams.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

City will probably win something next year.

We probably wont

That's not exactly surprising.

[Cripps_orig]

1-0 WBA

Dorrans

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WBA 1-0 QPR, Dorrans. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should've been a pelanty to Swansea apparently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 1-0 Blackeye, Sigurdsson! :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Was it another wondergoal?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

More goals per game in the Premier League than La Liga this season (though only by 0.02). :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Was it another wondergoal?

Fat Robbo is in goal, so probably.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 2-0 Blackeye, Dyer. :bow:

Blackeye. :wave:

[Cripps_orig]

2-0 Swansea

Dyer

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Great team goal apparently.

[Coney]

WBA 1-0 QPR, Dorrans. :lol:

Good. We need QPR to have to really fight in their next game. :good:

[Syn]

Good. We need QPR to have to really fight in their next game. :good:

They'll need to start Joey Barton then.

[Marc Overmars]

Wolves can go down next week if results don't go their way.

Wolves. :lol:

What an utter fuck up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good. We need QPR to have to really fight in their next game. :good:

They're a Mark Hughes side. What else do they have?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ebanks-Blake should've scored for Wolves. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 3-0 Blackeye, Sigurdsson. :bow:

Ah it might be going down as an own goal actually.

[Cripps_orig]

Sinclair with 2 assists i think :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Swansea 3-0 Blackeye, Sigurdsson. :bow:

Ah it might be going down as an own goal actually.

Was it another wondergoal?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dann OG, so doubtful.

[Cripps_orig]

Was it another wondergoal?
The Iceman cometh. Again. Gylfi Sigurdsson stings Paul Robinson's palms with one long-range blast and then, moments later, fires an unstoppable swerving shot past the Blackburn keeper after the resulting corner is not properly cleared. Swansea deserve their lead - Blackburn have been poor, to say the least.Looks like it

[Cripps_orig]

Was it another wondergoal?No

[Master Splinter]

Sigurdsson is like a good version of Gibson.

[Master Splinter]

Campbell on.

Good opportunity for a DREAM GOAL.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Wolves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 3-0 Blackeye, FT.
Sunderland 0-0 Wolves, FT.

MON. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Swansea 3-0 Blackburn FT

Kean :wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WBA 1-0 QPR, FT.

[Cripps_orig]

Sunderland was my banker as well :doh:

MON :haha:

[Master Splinter]

MON :haha:.

Dennis Bendtner :haha:.

TC :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

RPQ :haha:.

Ailsa from Home And Away :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tweet update on the BBC site...

http://i41.tinypic.com/15p21bl.png

:haha:

[Cripps_orig]

So none of the relegation pub teamers won and only Wolves who are as good as down got a point

As we were then

Mancs v Villa tomorrow

Victory for Villa will probably mean they are safe

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Villa are lucky the rest below then are useless otherwise they be in the battle tbh.

[Master Splinter]

The Wolves fans were apparently singing 'Connor for England' at the Stadium of Light today... it looks like they have kept their sense of humour despite their predicament at the bottom.

Wolves fans seem very thick. They were mocking their team for the whole match against us. Laughing at Connor is pathetic. He's the definition of a rabbit in headlights.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Mancini " We can't win the league"

:bow: Mind games lol.

Shame he let Tevez play again though, just show how classless they really are.

[The Ogg Monster]

Mancini- 'He'll never play for the club again'

Spineless prat.

[GP]

Mancini " We can't win the league"

:bow: Mind games lol.

Shame he let Tevez play again though, just show how classless they really are.

You should start a thread about that.

[Cripps_orig]

Listening to 5live

Theres a debate about which of Holt, Crouch or Carroll should go to the Euros and one caller called in to say he wouldnt take any of them and would instead take Jordan Rhodes.....

Yes the Scottish International

[Dennis Bendtner]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J62gcFkBHMQ

...that's an aside from how depressing that 'debate' actually is.

[Cripps_orig]

:haha:

Marc :doh:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Whats he said now.

[Cripps_orig]

Whats he said now.Watch the video

[Syn]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J62gcFkBHMQ

...that's an aside from how depressing that 'debate' actually is.

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

England should take Holt if they want a chance of winning.

Or maybe Chamakh.

[Rors]

Garth Crooks. This'll be fun.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What the hell is he doing there?

[Rors]

"Are you happy [with the win] Roberto?"
"No, I'm happy"

:bow:

[Rors]

"No no no no no no" :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mancini. :bow:

A fan of Vicar of Dibley no doubt.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Tevez has had to swallow to come back into the team according to Crooks. :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sigurdsson. :bow:

Brilliant.

[Rors]

Sigurdsson developing quite the goal compendium.

[Cripps_orig]

Poor keeping there for Sigurssons goal.

[Cripps_orig]

Scott Dann :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great stuff from Swanselona.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dunn. :haha:

He is a true pub teamer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dann. :haha:

Clinical finish.

[Cripps_orig]

FFS Sinclair should have that as an assist

[Cripps_orig]

One of the goals from Euro 96 v Holland was just shown :bow:

Back when England were worth supporting

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dorrans. :blink:

Kenny. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Dorrans goal was pretty good

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland vs Wolves now. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Crooks is annoying when he analyses a player

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wow. When one of the higlights includes the ref being happy with a ball not touching the quadrant line for a corner, you know it has been a belter of a game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crooks is annoying

The rest wasn't needed.

[Cripps_orig]

FFS Larsson

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Larsson. :haha:

He needs to get his act together if he is to make my Sweden squad for the Euros.

[Cripps_orig]

I feel sorry for TC

[Cripps_orig]

Btw we are officially out of the title race

Wenger out

[Coney]

Btw we are officially out of the title race

Wenger out

It is still mathematically do-able.

Edit: Ah no - of course for manu to lose all of their games, citeh would have to win one.

Maybe if they both go into receivership and get a points deduction?

[Cripps_orig]

It is still mathematically do-able.No it isnt even if we won all our games 50-0 and Man Utd lost all of theirs 50-0

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yorke and Wilkins are in the studio.

[Syn]

Villa are pants away from home. Can't imagine this will be anything other than a formality for Man Utd - but I'd love to be proved wrong. I would like Man Utd to win the title ahead of Man City. Let me rephrase that - I would like Man City to lose the title more than Man Utd, but the closer it is, the more interesting it remains for the last couple of fixtures.

I can see the race for 4th going to the last day with Tottenham, Chelsea (and maybe even Newcastle) still in with a chance. I can see there being the usual scrap to avoid relegation; with Wigan somehow escaping. It would be great if Man Utd needed to get something at Sunderland (very tough game!) to clinch the title.

Come on uncertainty.

There's only one winner.

Come on football.

Spuds will be 6th and when that happens I'll laugh for a week.

[Syn]

Spuds will be 6th and when that happens I'll laugh for a week.

Finishing 3 places above the champions...

That would be pretty awesome tbf.

[Niall_Quinn]

Finishing 3 places above the champions...

That would be pretty awesome tbf.

Definitely a gap to be mindful of.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd: De Gea, Rafael Da Silva, Evans, Ferdinand, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Young, Rooney, Welbeck.
Subs: Amos, Jones, Berbatov, Giggs, Hernandez, Nani, Cleverley.

Aston Villa: Given, Hutton, Collins, Baker, Lichaj, Bannan, Ireland, Clark, Gardner, Weimann, Agbonlahor.
Subs: Guzan, N'Zogbia, Delfouneso, Heskey, Cuellar, Johnson, Carruthers.

Referee: Mark Halsey (Lancashire)

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

:blink:

that villa team is fucking shite. dont even recognise half of them

[Rors]

Just wait....


Interpret that how you will.

[Syn]

Just wait....


Interpret that how you will.

Do you reckon you guys are safe?

I don't think Villa will be expecting anything from this but looking at it - there don't seem to be many easy fixtures left. Only Bolton at home looks very winnable.

[Syn]

Actually looking at it - beating Bolton will be enough.

Forgot that the rest only have 4 games left.

[Marc Overmars]

:blink:

that villa team is fucking shite. dont even recognise half of them

Yeah I was thinking that the other day, don't know who half the Villa side are these days.

Villa for who they were and not what they became. :rose:

[Rors]

Do you reckon you guys are safe?

I don't think Villa will be expecting anything from this but looking at it - there don't seem to be many easy fixtures left. Only Bolton at home looks very winnable.

I do, but it's by default more than anything else. There would need to be at least two major results swings in the remaining weeks, and I don't see that happening. I won't be rushing out to buy the 2011/2012 DVD though put it that way..

[Rors]

9.1

Fuck's sake man.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ashley Young launching himself again, pelanty given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 1-0 Villa, Rooney.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Young has surely taken the Starfish mantle by now?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carrick booked.

[Syn]

So fucking frustrating. Bring in the challengers system. FFS.

[Marc Overmars]

Young is really a despicable piece of work.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shreeves is on duty today so they can't have Burton ask "did you dive?" like he did to Tevez.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

At least a get to say it for another game in a row;

Controversial penalty at Old Trafford. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great bock to deny Welbeck.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Ashley Young launching himself again, pelanty given.

What a prick, Thank feck we never signed this guy.

[Globalgunner]

Cant blame Ashley Young, he did it last week and the one eyed english press, gave him the benefit of the doubt. So this week hes given it the full monty. Now Balotelli on the other hand he must be the devil spawn, putting in two tackles of the kind that Paul Scholes should have taken a patent out on, having made a 20 year career out of it.....but then again we all know that it aint Scholesys fault, he just doesnt know how to tackle, he means no harm.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What does it say about giving fouls in the rules? It can't say "if there is contact it's a pelanty" so what does it actually say?

It makes games far less competitive than they otherwise might be. The amount of pelanties Rooney has had to score from recently is ridiculous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wow, that was close from Clark.

[Globalgunner]

What a prick, Thank feck we never signed this guy.
You forget we suffered Eboue for about 10 years, he was no better.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Newcastle United defender Ryan Taylor has tweeted: "Ashley Young is an absolute DISGRACE. He's the biggest cheat in the league. His antics are a joke."

Ryan Taylor
Ashley Young is a disgrace. An absolute DISGRACE

Taylor :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good clearance from Rooney. :lol:

Ryan Taylor channeling Drogba. :wacko:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

What does it say about giving fouls in the rules? It can't say "if there is contact it's a pelanty" so what does it actually say?

It makes games far less competitive than they otherwise might be. The amount of pelanties Rooney has had to score from recently is ridiculous.

A direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a player commits
any of the following seven offences in a manner considered by the
referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:
• kicks or attempts to kick an opponent
• trips or attempts to trip an opponent
• jumps at an opponent
• charges an opponent
• strikes or attempts to strike an opponent
• pushes an opponent
• tackles an opponent
A direct free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player
commits any of the following three offences:
• holds an opponent
• spits at an opponent
• handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his
own penalty area)

A penalty kick is awarded if any of the above ten offences is committed
by a player inside his own penalty area, irrespective of the position of
the ball, provided it is in play.

Is all I can find from the Laws of the Game. :shrug:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Last ditch defending from Collins.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rio did the Busquets of just going on the reaction from the crowd. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good effort from Ireland, curled just wide.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

You forget we suffered Eboue for about 10 years, he was no better.

have not disagreed or said any other divers in the league are better.

But with the talent young has he does not need to do it.

[Globalgunner]

the real pity is that Aston Villa are absolute dogshit. Unless you are Crawley Town, you shouldnt have to stoop so low to beat a crap team managed by a bone wielding Neanderthal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scholes caught that one. Perfect strike according to Smudger, er not quite.

Also, http://www.abload.de/img/untitled-1h0jan.gif

:bow:

[Syn]

Regardless of whether we had full-on cheats before (and I think it was blown way out of proportion), the fact is that these days we don't even bother appealing for half shouts. I know every fan probably thinks it about their team but, genuinely, Arsenal are the team that dive/play-act the least. I would actually say we need to do it more. If we played our cards a bit better and got the ref on our side, we could gain so many points that the 'top side bias' is supposed to bring. Since 2010, Fabregas was absolutely brilliant at it. Van Persie doesn't bother with it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is all I can find from the Laws of the Game. :shrug:

And all that is really wooly. I suppose what can they do when that is all they have to go on?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save rom Given to deny Welbeck.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia.

:haha:

[Rors]

Valencia :haha: :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was poor from Gardner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lichaj booked.

[Rors]

http://i41.tinypic.com/157oj15.jpg

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Gea is kicking like Sznananay.

[Master Splinter]

We don't get pels when our players are hacked to pieces a centimetre away from the referee in the box.

Youngy gets one every time he's in sight of it.

Is that Wazza's 20th pel of the season or something?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://i41.tinypic.com/157oj15.jpg

Clark has legs made of steel.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That reverse angle is just absurd.

[Rors]

Clark has legs made of steel.

The Luger to Young's Pierre...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 2-0 Villa, Welbeck. How did that go right across goal?

[Master Splinter]

2-0, Wellshit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Baker. :doh:

Not the time for a stepover.

[Rors]

Baker :doh: Just clear the thing!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 HT.

Let the praising of Ashley Young being 'clever' commence.

[Dennis Bendtner]

The splits in mid-air! Ridiculous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

https://api.plixi.com/api/tpapi.svc/imagefromurl?size=medium&url=http%3A%2F%2Flockerz.com%2Fs%2F201555742

A 'backlash' from Man Utd apparently. Sure.

[Niall_Quinn]

To be fair Wilkins has just called that shit Young a cheat. Yorke doesn't have as much honesty, but he was a diver himself of course.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ray Wilkins is WTFing Dwight Yorke. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Unlike McLeish's Birmingham, unfortunately there's very few in the Villa team adept in scything two-footers which would take out Youngy.

Come on Hutton, do something useful for once.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Baker. :doh:

Not the time for a stepover.

Just seen that, what a knob end.

This guy must have thought villa were 6-0 up.

[Dennis Bendtner]

http://i41.tinypic.com/157oj15.jpg

It's not even a penalty, really, is it? Contact = penalty will be the standard nonsense defence. But he just stands on the bloke's toes and chucks himself over. When you have to do a mid-air scissor tackle, I think you know there's no contact.

[Master Splinter]

Halsey seems to be one of the better refs as well. How did he fall for it?

Webb had a word?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"A terrific display of forward playing" - Dwight Yorke.

[Niall_Quinn]

Guy's such a consistent cheat even Sky can't stomach it. But as long as the refs keep playing along there's no incentive for Young to show any character. Right now he's being rewarded every time he cheats. I suppose even Ferguson will say he didn't think it was a pen, but that's just part of the game. It won't change the result and Young won't be hounded in the same way as Eduardo. It wouldn't take 10 seconds for technology to sort this out and get rid of players like Young from the game. That's why technology is so fiercely resisted I suppose.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbeck. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Alan Smith too gutless to call it, thinks it was a pen AND a dive. Cheats like Young hide behind this lack of courage.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did Alan Parry just suggest Villa encouraged him to do that? Of course, it can't be the player himself choosing to do that can it?

Wish that old berk had lost his headset again.

[Niall_Quinn]

Halsey seems to be one of the better refs as well. How did he fall for it?

Webb had a word?

It's easy enough to get caught out by such an accomplished cheat. Technology would easily solve this problem.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scholes booked.

Ah god bless Scholesy, he just doesn't know to tackle. 'Clumsy' says Smudger.

[Niall_Quinn]

Did Alan Parry just suggest Villa encouraged him to do that? Of course, it can't be the player himself choosing to do that can it?

Wish that old berk had lost his headset again.

I think they need to find something positive to attach the old "any kids who are watching" cliché to. Otherwise the true face of football they struggle so hard to conceal might pop above the surface for a moment.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hutton just stuck one on Ashley Young. :haha:

Booked.

[Niall_Quinn]

Hutton just stuck one on Ashley Young. :haha:

Booked.

Young dived again.

[Master Splinter]

Hutton :bow:.

Taking my advice.

[Syn]

It's ridiculous.

But ask 100 people in a pub in Yorkshire who dives more - Eduardo/Pires or Ashley Young, and 99 will say the foriners.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ashley Young leaps off the pitch, Nani on for him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clark off, Heskey on. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Baker. :bow:

Testing Halsey's loyalties out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good header from Heskey, De Gea tips it over.

"heh, it's just one of those clumsy Paul Scholes murders". He'd get away with it too. Future career as a hit man.

[Master Splinter]

Ivanhoe :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rooney. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Shrek :haha:.

Can only score pels.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

fa got their wish, united will win the title.

i always wondered how refs only live on 80 grand a year for the amount of flack they get, but this year ive realised its much more than that. the thousands they get wired to their offshore accounts from the fa to help united win the title makes up for it.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

we laugh at italy but it's happening under our very own eyes :lol:

english football :bow:

corrupted and antiquated at its core :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 3-0 Villa, Rooney again.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Wish that old berk had lost his headset again.

TBF he did dive at Villa alot and only a few of the fans like Rors would condem him the rest would back him, now its against them they don't like it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rooney hauled off, Berbatov on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think you've completely missed the point. A commentator suggested another club encouraged Ashley Young to do that is the reason why he is still doing it now.

Manchesterulona :bow: Corrupt as the c unts Cesc plays for now.

[Globalgunner]

73 mins Rooney off. Hope Wenger saw that, 3-0 up, you take off your most valuable asset, dont leave him on to get knobbled by some meatloaf for absolutely no reason.

Fair enough that is a dumb thing to say.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scholes off, Cleverley on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant save from Given with his lip. :haha:

barchester :bow:

two of the biggest clubs monopolising world football through corruption :bow:

TBF is ok when the Fa and its top ref protects UTD abd Rooney so its not like Wayne would be in trouble anyway. But i get your point.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Nzogbia to come on

:lol: forgot about this mug.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 Nani.

[Niall_Quinn]

Can't see Villa getting back into this now.

[GP]

If Nani was as good as he thinks he is, he'd be some player.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 FT. Wins against Everton and Citeh and Man Utd win the title at the Etihad.

[Master Splinter]

If Nani was as good as he thinks he is, he'd be some player.

He'd be Quaresma.

[Marc Overmars]

I bet Wazza wins the golden boot.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

He'd be Quaresma.

Tbf he's better then Ronaldo tbh. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Just got home so not sure if its been mentioned but did anyone read what Ryan Taylor said about Young?

[Syn]

Yeah, I think NGiBbles posted it.

Something like 'he's a disgrace', 'biggest cheat in the league'.

[Cripps_orig]

Yup thats the one.

Taylor :bow:

Its one thing fans saying it but its a whole new ball game when a fellow pro says it and hes spot on.

Should be knighted by the queen tbh or more importantly me to go with Sir Chesney, Sir Jack and Sir Chamakh

[Syn]

I thought the Sir Chesney knighthood wasn't an indication of you rating them but more by default because some commentators say "se-chez-nee".

I thought the Sir Jack knighthood was also a default by Sir Jack Truest.

Sir Chamakh?..fuck knows.

In short, no highlights seem to be on of the FA Cup game - MOTD2 is on at 10pm but they'll only be sinking to new lows trying to explain (or avoid) Ashley Young's dive.

Spot on about Sir Chesney tbh

Ive been calling Wilshere Sir Jack for some time. I actually forgot about our Sir Jack :lol:

Sir Chamakh is self explanitory

No Cup highlights? Wtf? I only want to see Matas goal and see how bad it was tbh. Dont give a fuck about the rest

[Cripps_orig]

MOTD2 is on

Dixon and Olsson there
