I really really dislike Mike Dean..i think he's so up his own....its unreal. Its hard to find many decent refs in the PL at the moment...i don't mind Phil Dowd, Chris Foy, Peter Walton and the sooner Mark Halsey gets back the better...but there are some woeful officials in the PL at the moment...then again hasn't there always been and probably always will.

I don't think he could get his armchair on the coach.

am pretty confident that United can turn the game round against City at OT.

its going to be a tough second leg but i beleive United will be strong enough to come through with the win.

We were awful until the last 15/20 minutes, when had it not been for Given and Onohua's goalline clearance we'd have scored a few.

Did not think it was a penalty at all, free kick yes, but never a penalty, don't think it was a corner either. Still, we should have enough to beat them at OT, hopefully SWP plays again, because it's as good as playing 10 men, Paddy Evra had him in his back pocket all game.

I've heard a few mumblings that Rio will be back for the return leg, which is (mind the pun) massive for us. Brown and Evans are great when they play alongside Vidic or Rio, but together, they're awful. Why did Fergie bring Scholes? He's far too slow to get into the game nowadays. Evra was our best player.

Why has there been no condeming of the who*re's celebrations on here?

There was an interview with him on Saturday, he said he was looking forward to getting back, it's only a matter of time.

tevez showed no class last night. tbf i thought he was better than that.

Re: More Football Chat : Wed Jan 20, 2010 12:19 pm  

Tevez was always gonna do something, I was shocked when he didn't after the first goal. When he did the same celebration at OT last year it shocked me.

As far as the game goes, if United can't beat City, they don't deserve anything this season.

So the fans give him abuse all the way through his visit to Old Trafford, the players and manager of United stick the knife into him and you expect him to score in a Semi-Final and a local derby and stand there with his hands by his sides?

He didn't go and celebrate in front of the United fans, did he, so what's the beef?

It was never a penalty but neither was the one in the FA Cup a few years back when we led 1-0 at Old Trafford and Alan Wiley blew up for Frontzeck farting in the box. What goes around comes around?
