    Yep nice simple goal, Defence is crazy, hint of offside but was close.

    The Sunderland goal? It was the Brum defender (ridgewell?) headed it towards the keeper so it cant have been offside.

    Prica has a goal disallowed for handball, no replay yet but i didnt see too much wrong with it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,227 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    Very harsh from the ref. How can he say he meant that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,745 ✭✭✭✭Villain


    Yea it was the Arsenal goal I was talking about Bendtner looked off slightly. Nicky Butt just had a great free kick come off the post, that hand ball decision against Sunderland looked harsh, action all round

    Football Manager strikes again

    Mauro Zarate looks very very good since coming on


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,745 ✭✭✭✭Villain


    All over at Arsenal easy 3-0 win could have been 4 or 5 really, another game without a goal for King Kev, they did have 3 shots on target :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,227 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    Assuming they win this its a huge 3 points for Sunderland.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    the only difference between Big Sam and King Kev? the geordies like Keegan.

    Fabregas scored? Is that guy still around? :p

    Great goal by Flamini. What a season he is having.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    United's team tonight:

    VDS

    Brown
    Vidic
    Rio
    Evra

    Park
    Scholes
    Carrick
    Nani

    Ronaldo
    Rooney

    Gona be an interesting game :)

    Carrick is gona sit very very deep. I think we should have enough to win it, it's important that Tevez gets a rest though.

    Have to say, looking at th eUtd game , I;m amased some players can collect their massive paycheques every weekk with a straight face.The portsmouth players have been terible. Standing around while the players they are marking are jogging off to collect return passes, not bothered fightign for loose balls and generally not giving a crap.

    I dont know if it's a product of the massive money they are on or not but its a disgrace. Ronaldos free kick was brilliant, but not 1 pompy player made an effore to actually jump and put their head near it. The 2 players that the ball went over turn around and ducked. If you cant expect commitment for 20,000+ a week, how can you get it? I'm not sayign they would have got a touch, but if they did it more than likely would have lifted the ball a bit a may have knocked it over.

    A bit of effort is all I'm talking about. If they give 100% and get beaten, then nobody can complain, but to go out half arsed is just unacceptable. I'm only picking on Portsmouth becaus ethey happen tobe on and doing everyting wrong but I've seen it plenty of times elsewere.

    As for Baros? I dont know how he can call himslef a footballer. Anyway, rant off, iit's been comign for a wile though. :)

    Thinking the exact same, they are very very poor, you get the feeling that before the match they are thinking we are going to get beaten here.

    Liverpool lose to West Ham, City draw with DERBY! and Everton are drawing, 4th place is so open, Rafa will lose all fans soon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,077 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6

    You should come back home so, at least that way you can be like the rest of us and go to bed depressed. :)

    At least at home we could all congregate in the one spot and do one of those mass suicide thingys

    Rednapp said before the game that "anything would be a bonus".

    Portsmouth only traveled this morning with a return after the game. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail etc, etc.

    .

    Thats exactly the sort of ****ty attitude that gets you nothing in these games. FFS West Ham beat Utd and Liverpool in the last few weeks.

    At home, portmouth played with 4 full backs and were still tore apart.

    I blame harry, he sent the tem out to lose and to keep the score down, suppose its also "know your place".

    Thats the thing tho, plenty of teams go out and refuse to know their place.They give honest performances and no one is up in arms callign for sackings if they are beaten because they give their all. The pompey performance was terrible. They couldnt make simple passes and were continually trying stipuid long balls and through balls when there was no player there. Noboday wanted the ball when one of their own player shad it. You dont have to be playign a crap team to make an effort.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    jaysus, as soon as i heard liverpool had conceded a penalty i asked straight away, was it carragher? i just knew it was him, the lad has given away a shedload of penalties this year, maybe 5? thats shocking, really is. He has lost a yard of pace and he has been well below par this year.

    And chelsea, another 1-0 win....was it a set piece by any chance? they are a f**king terrible team to watch and the most boring around. i can stand them, at least when jose was there, he was a bit of entertainment himself. that grant is just a muppet!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,745 ✭✭✭✭Villain


    Grant a muppet? why because they keep winning :D

    Saw the hightlights and i agree they were ****e! Too many teams roll over to the bigger teams all the time.

    He does look frighteningly like an actual muppet... but he's a damn good manager so far it seems..
