For mine, Babel has to lead the line with Kuyt. Maxi is ineligible, though, so we're a man short in midfield. Dare I say a reall for Albert Riera :evil:



don't hold your breath, babel was our best forward against fulham and guess what? rafa took him off. i agree with you though he should lead the line with deadly dirk supporting him. but it'll most probably be n'gog........

Me: I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.


knockersbumpMKII: Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm

No. He got banned for violent conduct against Van Persie. I think he got fined and/or warned over his future conduct in terms of his celebrating, as did Neville.

If you're whining about United players getting off lightly (as seems the case) you might recall that Patrice Evra got 4 matches for flirting with Chelsea groundstaff a while ago (although that may be more down to Mike Phelan's 'evidence' than anything else).

What Neville did on Saturday is a bit different to what he did against Liverpool a few years ago. On that day, he ran the length of the pitch to taunt Liverpool fans. It's not massively sensible but I remember Shay Given's similar reaction when citeh made the home derby 3-3. He turned to the Stretford End, screamed and shouted and grabbed his shirt. Granted he was less animated seconds later when Michael Owen made him look like a complete chump but still, annoying as that was, not worthy of an FA charge.

Footballer's celebrate goals. Such is life.

usually when they actually score them, neville is a turd who has publicly stated his hatred of liverpool, i remember mike doyle of citeh being fined heavily by the fa for exactly the same sort of thing, but he said in about united.

Re: More football chat : Mon Apr 19, 2010 12:38 pm  
The only Man United player to get off lightly on Saturday was Wayne Rooney. He blatantly kicked a Citeh player, not even disguising the kick as anything to do with the match that was ongoing. The referee gave the free kick against him, but for some reason only he knows, never booked Rooney.

If there was ever a challenge that deserved a booking, it was that one. It was utterly ridiculous that Rooney wasn't given a yellow. Even the commentators were incredulous that Rooney had somehow not been booked for it.

But for me, when Wayne Rooney gets himself sent off in the WC and England get knocked out because of it, the reason will be because refs in this country are so soft with him and the English football supporters are in love with Rooney so much they forgive him his blatant indiscretions.

Same applies to Gerrard. If you let Rooney kick people and allow Gerrard to elbow someone off the ball and not get punished, how will it be their fault when they get sent off in the WC for doing the exact same thing?

Not at all. He's an excellent player. But he's given blatantly preferential treatment from refs, the media and oppo supporters. Just like Gerrard is.

How many other players in the league have been sent off for kicking the ball away? or even booked? I know several chelsea players did it at OT and no bookings? Rooney did it and got a second yellow at Craven cottage last year.

He didn't kick the ball away against Fulham. He threw it like a maniac down the field. My reading of that incident was that MU were trying to take a quick free kick, Dowd blew up straight away to say they'd not taken it from the right place. Rooney caught the ball and threw the ball downfield in anger.

Rooney was asking for a booking and got it.

Of course plenty of players kick the ball away and get away with it. They usually do it on the side though and not as a blatant challenge to the referee in the manner that Rooney did.

Did you see Rooney's foul on Saturday? Can you offer any explanation as to why he wasn't booked for that?
