[Closed] Come on United!

Hohoho! Come on the Dog heads!

Well it's not going too well as far as your lot are concerned, atm.

Probbly nowt to worry about though. Its Man U after all...

Wolves stand a chance. Clattenberg reffed us...

C'mon yowse Wolves!

Bloody hell - did they roll 2 dice to come up with the scorelines this week ?!!

(splendid 'copter BTW)

TIOTE!!!!

Sorry NUFC tourettes

Long way to go yet boyo...

😉

We're both funked mate.

I think one of us will be....could all come down to the two derbies! 😯

The Newcastle result was a shock, I must say. 0-4 down after what, 20 mins or so? Looked like being a bloodbath. But Arsenal showed why they probbly won't win the league this season, with their usual display of bottling it.

41 goals scored today, in 8 games. Mental.

Great fun, what footie should be about, stuff the 1-0s!

See that handball by Scholes?? What if that had gone in, and the ref had missed it? Do you think he would have owned up to it? Would he blocks.

Same old Man U; always cheating.

Unbeaten run over. So that's one good thing. 🙂

Lets hope Wolves revert to their normal form soon and get dropped this season.

3-1 easy bye - oh this is about some diddy english team?

But the ref [b]did[/b] see it and he [b]was[/b] booked. "If" is such a tricky little bugger when slipped into a sentence.

They are the gift that just keeps on giving.

Same old Man U; always cheating

Lots of surprising results including the Man U they have been very lucky to go this far unbeaten and also be in front they are not at all playing well this season and our defence looks fragile with out ferdinand and Vidic. Should be a close finish this time and the result keeps things interesting.

Ah, that same old bunch of carefully edited clips (done by a Man U fayn) which don't show things from other angles, which clearly show contact.

First one; shove in the back.
Second one; shove in the back, then has to avoid goalkeeper's foot.
Third one; Gattuso's foot clips his.
Fourth one; defender catches him, his momentum takes him forward but he's already lost his balance.
Last one looks like a bit of special effects trickery. The ball would have broken perfectly for him to slot it home. Why would he go down? I admit it looks bad, but can find no other footage of that particular incident, and if it were true, why isn't it held up as an example of diving whenever the subject is discussed on footy programmes?

Must do better, Junky... 😉

Have a look at your own club, before casting aspersions at others. Those in glass houses...

Can it get any worse for WBA, Sc-Xc? DiMatteo sacked today. 🙁

Yes it is an excellent point to single out MAn U as the only team who ever cheat or dive or try to mislead the ref.

In fairness, it's typical of those 'fans' who are unaware of football pre Murdoch's Prem.

Real students of the game still have the image of Messers Nicol, Dalglish, McMahon et al surrounding and haranguing the ref every Saturday or Bremner, Giles and Clarke doing exactly the same 10 years before.

Corinthian spirit and top level success have never gone hand in hand in my experience.

By the way sc-xc as a Villa fan, I hope you stay up. those away day 3 points at the Baggies are always most welcome. As we used to sing in and of the Smethwick End -

" Treat it nice, treat it good
'Cos it's only made of wood
Na na na na na na na nana "

Chim chimerny , chim chimerney...............

Real students of the game still have the image of Messers Nicol, Dalglish, McMahon et al surrounding and haranguing the ref every Saturday or Bremner, Giles and Clarke doing exactly the same 10 years before.

As well as the likes of Robson, Whiteside, Strachan, eh? With old 'Sparky' Hughes diving all over the place... 😉

Even the commentators call it a dive but I am sure you will think the touch seconds before was enought to justify the tumble 🙄

this one might be a bit harder to explain given the absence of any contact
sorry I forgot you are like a scouse zionist settler when it comes to football issues and objectivity.
Do Man u cheat yes - rooney when we broke the arsenal 50 not out was shocker for example I am sure there are many others. The only difference is that I can see that almost all players and teams cheat. You can not and come up with BS to defend your beloved team/captain. It is not really I who needs to do better here - see you using a quote on liverpool to drag in United ad infinitum :yawn:

in tribute here have a random picture

First one; there was a tug or arm in from the defender, and Gerrard simply jumps over the goalies legs, to avoid injury. Had he not done, it would have bin a penalty anyway. He din't scream for a penalty, did he? so how's it 'cheating'?

Second one; our view of the arm in from the first defender (see him raise his arms in a 'din't touch him' type way?) is obscured somewhat, but there was a tug there. And then the second one just piles into the back of Gerrard. Free kick. Notice who the ref is? Mike Riley. I rest my case.

Stop throwing stones Junky, you'll have every pane out of yer own gaff...

Do Man u cheat yes

All you had to say. Thank you. Discussion over.

LOLcarpetz.

Ever so slight exaggeration to assist one's point...

mon the cellic!:)

Fred sometimes you are just a tool this is one of them 🙄
see above about your inability to be objective. So the commentators , the ref and everyone else with eyes are wrong and gerrard has never dived. I assume Gerrard[andnone of his teamates] not arguing is a sign of his/their well known sense of self restraint and sportsmanship 🙄
it was not really a discussion more an observation of you denying the reality that all players cheat on some occasions even ones who play for your own team.

All footballers cheat all the time. It has become a game where hoodwinking the referee is rewarded. Honesty and sportsmanship is all but absent from the game.

That's right, resort to abuse. 😕

Can't be arsed 'discussing' anything with you any more Junky. Call me a 'tool', but get all upset over 'Bacon Face'?

You lose mate. Ta ta.

Canny goal by Bellamy today, thats the difference in perm quality players and championship players (see shola ameobi here). Loving the amount of sport on the beeb at the moment. They should ditch bbc3 crap and have a dedicated BBC sport with no adverts, TFT would be ace.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer I gave some moments ago.

Cheating and bad sportsmanship has been a part of the game since I started watching it in the 70's and I'm sure it was the same before that.

The more successful the side, the worse the conduct - Revie's Leeds, Paisley/Dalglish's Liverpool, Graham's Arsenal, Fergie's Utd. All dominant teams, all bad eggs. I'll leave it up to everyone to decide if there's a link between success and ill behaviour.

Of course Ron Saunders' Villa side were faultless in their conduct on their way to League and European championships but there always has to be an exception to the rule.

That's right, resort to abuse

PS if i was just trying to insult you , and I would not , i would make some reference to you height. You cannot really mount your high horse on this issue ...see i could do a good height one after that line if I just wanted to be rude 8)

A part of the game or as big a part? Maybe we just get to see better slowmo and more camera angles but I can't agree that there is as much diving and simulation in general as the 80s. (I have only hazy memories of the 70s). I've also disagreed with you before about the level of haranguing the referee that went on back then...I can't see us agreeing on that point. I think it has got steadily worse each year, culminating in the Ferguson generation when players were actively encouraged to constantly get in referee's faces (and not just Ferguson's team). I also think that this has improved in the last year or so with the introduction of the rule where only the captain can approach the ref. It's far from perfect though - I can't see it improving in the near future. Footballers are just not imbued with that level of respect for authority.
