Well done Roddy B for taking a point in your cup final As for Suarez ive never seen anything like it in my life when someone gets within 2 metres of him hes already heading too the ground. Class player but the worst diver i have seen in my life. As for De Jong he has caused 1 bad injury which could of happened at anytime too anyone. Hes no worse than a scholes, Keane or Viera or Mascherano so you can ssh with that one. As for Ballotelli he will learn from that as liverpool players wound him up on purpose he was just niave. As has already been mentioned im happy with a point at anfield. We had a big game mid week we were carrying Milner and Toure for large parts Silva didnt get much service and Aguero was very quiet and we still took a point away from Fotress Anfield i think all this bitterness is coming from your end because you had a good chance and couldnt take it cause of dog iron plaers like Downing and Henderson (Money well spent) on another note i though Lucas was outstanding him and Barry were both very good

I think I get what you're saying, although you do put in some obstacles to get your point across.

All I will say is: if you thort dat dat was r cup final, da Arab monies as gone to ur ed lad. I luk for abar 7 or 8 fixtures b4 i luk for da city 1.

Also, btw, was p*ss funny listening to Jamie Redknapp after the game criticising all of Chelsea's defenders but John Terry. I know Terry didn't play tonight, but it was hilarious hearing him say "all of Chelsea's defenders have the David Luiz syndrome/effect", desperately clinging on to the hope that John Terry is still a good player. It's debatable whether he's ever been good, but r Jamie will say he's world class, just like that Charlie Adam pass to Johnson. World class.

I don't actually have a huge dislike for Chelsea, beating them regularly has obviously aided that, but I just can't stand the snide knobs in the media/Sky who do nothing but rim them. If Ray Wilkins is on Sky, all of the 'lads' will do nothing but try and defend Chelsea and assist Ray in defending them. Redknapp is obsessed with defending Chelsea's English lads. If Redknapp had his way, Chelsea would be British coached, with cockney players and his dad would be DOF.

World's most valuable sports team. There is a reason for that. I think alot of people underestimate Man Uniteds worldwide appeal. By far outweighs any other team. Liverpool is famous for the Beatles, Chelsea for the flower show. Manchester for United.

i'd agree if you were including the fleet street footy journos. Massive love in. The media darlings are Liverpool, all channels have them as their bumboys. Majority of pundits are rat eating, bin dippas. I agree r.e John Terry. get's constantly mullered now, the same could be said for Carragher as well Rob. Your defence has been better since he's been out.

Re: The Football Chat Thread : Wed Nov 30, 2011 10:49 am  

thought we were pretty poor again last night. Pantillmon looks a decent player in net though. Aguero was pretty queit again from what i saw of it. Kolo looked good though and is a good player too have back give Joleon that push on he needs again. i can already tell you how this draw is going to go now. United-Cardiff City-Liverpool

The BBC has Hansen who's biased. Lawro tries to be biased but he can't help but be a bitter pr*ck. Thommo's on Sky for laughs but that's about it. You know more than anybody that the media darlings are United. I'll never get over Craig Burley shrieking on ESPN/Setanta sports "It's a victory for football!!!!!!" when Vidic scored that late goal against Sunderland a few years back. Every live game on ITV is spent talking about United and their CL final defeats, and every decent side that plays on Sky end up listening to commentators harping on about United. When you started the season so well, the media went into an instant climax, they were so excited. A few shoddy results later and suddenly the world's against ya!

IMO, the media bias goes like this: United, Chelsea, Citeh, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal, the rest. The amount of grief Suarez is currently getting puts us that low, you'd honestly think he's the first diver the league has seen.

Not sure where you get that from what he said last night. I thought he just slagged off the Chelsea defence for their poor show in the build up to the first goal, and he was right, it was poor.

Thought AVB looked a desperate man last night. It's a shame for him, as Chelsea are a shell of the team they were, even at this stage last year. He needs time to implement his plans, and ship out the old guard.

He is one of the worst I've ever seen. He's so bad at it as well. Diving seems to be a culture that has been brought into Liverpool recently. Gerrard has always been bad for going down in the box, but they are all doing it.

Stewart Downing in the derby recently just before half time is the worst dive I've ever seen. It was knocked ahead of him so he decided to take a dive and did a theatrical swan dive with tuck and pained face. The only problem was that the player chasing him had given up and was about 12 feet away from him when he did it.

Suarez is now diving as soon as anyone approaches him, diving in anticipation of being fouled rather than after it.

The only rival in world football I've seen recently is Angel Di Maria for Real Madrid. His performance against Athletico recently was ridiculous, even Cristiano had to have a word with him about it.

I would hope that Manchester has had greater things to offer the world culturally than just rampant capitalism.

Hate to join you on the conspiracy but it's what I thought too. But I'd love to get United over two legs to be honest. I wouldn't fancy us home and away v Citeh.
