    He hates that celebration, he reportedly banned him from doing it before.

    Valencia's a fan hitting the low balls in, isn't he?

    I wonder if that's a personal or a training ground thing.

    I wouldn't like to be a Villa fan at the moment. They really don't look very good.

    Great day all round - United won and I backed them -2, had Rooney as my captain in Fantasy Football and had Evans and Valencia in my team. Couldn't have asked for much more, tbh.:D

    Ireland: Wayne, how do you avoid getting yours ripped out by teammates?

    Rooney: By not being an insufferable tool

    Ireland: What do you mean?

    Rooney: When your mates like you, they don't try to rip your hair out

    Ireland: ......Oh, I'll have to try something else so

    Villa are a pitiful excuse of a team.

    You'd think with what their captain Stan Petrov is going through they would put up some sort of fight. Pathetic.

    Are you for real???

    They are a poor team with a poor manager, simple.
    No amount of grief or pity will change that

    I don't think it is, you can be bad but there is nothing stopping you from working your ass off but they were strolling around Old Trafford today like they were out for a Sunday stroll.

    It just pisses me off no end to see millionaire footballers with this attitude.

    Have you ever seen Stan Petrov during a game, he always seems to be pumping sweat, because he works his hole off.

    This is so true. Villa made it way easier today than it should have been.

    The peno was a dive and a foul imo. Although that probably doesn't really make sense. Rooney's second goal was class. That celebration of Nani's is class.

    This game really was boringly easy for United.

    Was in the middle of them when they started that on the stret end. Funny stuff. Didn't get a good look at the Young pen. Disappointing if he did. Worked out alright for Villa decision wise after that, good few shouts didn't go Uniteds way

    It has to be said it's refreshing that Fergie has come out and said that he played for the penalty and it was a dramatic fall.
    I think he will have a word with him and try get him to cut it out.
    Makes a change from the "I didn't see it" brigade.

    Not getting into an argument cos hope ye win the league, but it was never a foul. Football is in a sad state of affairs when that's a penalty.

    I very very much doubt it.

    While its refreshing for him to say he fell dramatically & played for it however I'm pretty sure he also said it was a definite peno, which it clearly wasn't.

    You doubt what??
    It's debatable by the letter of the law if it was a penalty.
    IMO it wasn't but a lot,probably most are not IMO.

    Not a penalty for me anyway. I think Young was anticipating the touch and made his mind up before hitting the deck what he was going to do. Unfortunately for Young, Clark did the right thing and pulled out of it and now Young looks like a fool. He's lucky to have gotten that penalty.

    Question for all the outraged liverpool supporters who posted here - Was it as bad a dive as the one carroll tried against his old team? And did you cry out to ban him then? Remember we can check back on what you posted back then;)

    Carrol was booked and there was no penalty, two weeks in a row Young has cheated and got two pens and a man sent off. Do you see the difference. Carrol was punished for what he did where as young wasn't. Both were shocking dives though.

    Carroll's dive was more obvious? The ref was better? There really isn't any difference in what the players were trying to achieve.4

    Edit: My response was to you original post. Context is now changed.

    The difference being however, is that Carroll was challenged by thin air. With clear evidence of no contact being made.

    I checked that newcastle thread and didn't see the calls for bans for him. If you're going to be outraged, be outraged that they attempted it not that they got away with it. See the difference?
