(Fat) Ronaldo and Robinho on drugs?

According to Pele...

"It is unfair to talk about drugs in football because of just one or two cases, like Ronaldo and Robinho, who have that problem."

What it doesn't mention is that utd had won a free kick just inside the fulham half and the ball ended up in the penelty area so Rooney picked it up and threw it back towards halfway fow which he was booked. So the moral of the story is next time the ref blows his whistle for a free kick let the ba$tardo go fetch the ball himself

Strange how the Fulham player,having been whistled against,decided to launch the ball into the area,but Dowd didn`t feel the need to produce the yellow-Ronaldo complains and Dowd goes into overdrive,summoning Ronaldo to him in true West-End showbiz drama!

Pantsil got away with numerous offences after he`d been booked etc.Just watch Dowd`s demeanour when dealing with the big teams big names.

Did he really say that ? That's a bit odd.

It was the manner in which Rooney threw the ball, not that he threw it. Behaved like a spoilt brat, again.

1st one was a cynical foul, f++k knows what the second was for as United got the free-kick!! Another fat f++ker of a ref trying to make a name for himself...

Awful decisions can be a tad upsetting

Two bookable offenses, one for the obvious pull back and anothe rfor dissent, Rooney can have no complaints and should look at his own attitude before anyone looks at the ref. He's got away with plenty this season, especially dissent, so when he does get booked, he can hardly complain.

The moral of the story is, don't act like a big, yelling baby.

Agreed.Still doesn`t explain why,I think it was Dempsey,didn`t receive the yellow for kicking the ball away and Pantsil,when already on a yellow,got numerous benefit of the doubt decisions go his way.Rooney,two decisions,two yellows-no benefit of the doubt for him.

No excuses,United deserved to lose-what annoys me is the perceived idea of United getting all the decisions all the time,when,in reality,if anyone looked at it in a pure,cold,unbiased nature,perhaps a truer picture may be allowed to emerge.

I`m pretty sure the other "top teams"get just as many,if not more,decisions go their way.

Man U left the gate open

Liverpool blew it open, very small time having Murphy as you avatar Luke...expected more from you.

I don't know what's going on, his team selection again was baffling yesterday and why does Scholes do these things? Liverpool have all the momentum going into the most important part of the season, seems the real mardid games gave Liverpool their mojo back and Gerrard and Torres are finding form at the right time...as Sir Alex once said "Squeky bum time"
