Not trying to start anything but just wanna say,

 

Why do we always get blamed for paying the refs when they get it wrong and its in our favor? Kind of sick of it. When it happens in other games, its dismissed as ref/officiating errors. If it wasn't for these stupid error and mistakes by the officials, We would've won the league last year easily with 2 or so games in hand.

I'm all about sly digs. Damn.. I want Falcao to join Juventus, so that we will have at least 1 Italian superteam in Europe, but I expect him to move only to the super rich clubs who can afford him, if the 70m price tag Atletico reportedly put on him is correct.

 

Also, a Dutch football commentator (who sucks at his job) who is a socio at Atletico said that they are willing to give him a 14m euros per year-contract if Atletico can secure a Champions League-spot.

 

The odd thing is that Atletico is basically on the edge of going bust...

^ WTH's with the sig and avatar?

 

Sig is Gerrard celebrating Suarez's disallowed goal. He ran the length of the pitch, only for the goal to be disallowed, making himself look like a massive bellend in the process.

 

Just had a look at the replay for the Suarez disallowed goal, and it's a foul on Jagielka by Coates. Correct decision by the linesman there.

Linesman flagged for offside though, which is why there's a debate about it. In the end, should have been 2-1 to us.

 

Should have been about 5-2, but that cheat Suarez injured the best player on the pitch, before attempting to do the same to Distin.

If Falcao joins Juve I will fill a black hole with jizz.

 

And I know who you mean, lol. Koekoek.

Yeah, koe f*cking koek. Hate that guy. Never heard a commentator who was so self-absorbed that he spends more time getting himself over, instead of just calling the f*cking match. Always the one-liners, it is why I always switch to Spanish commentators (or no commentators) when I watch a La Liga-game.

I hate days like this. The thing is, if it weren't for a handful of controversial decisions, we would all have been talking about 2 brilliant football games rather than diving and offsides and cards and decisions.

 

The first 55 minutes of United vs Chelsea was like poetry, brilliant end to end football, filled with great play, great defensive efforts, there was no sitting on the ball and wasting time. But some big decisions go one way and suddenly the game is wrapped in controversy, and people won't remember the great saves De Gea and Cech were making, they won't remember the great attacking play the teams were showing, they'll just remember Torres getting sent off and United scabbing a goal to win it.

Yeah, that wasn't a foul by Osman before Liverpool's second. So that "it wasn't a throw in before one of Everton's goals" point is nullified.

 

That made it look even worse. Suarez should've been on a yellow before that, and that stomp on Distin was a straight red.

A soft freekick, which is given 9/10 times is different to the ball clearly hitting an everton player. One is a problem with the rules, the other is the rules not being correctly applied. And we have no idea what would have happened if Mirallas stayed on so it is a pointless argument.

Took less than half a page for the first post to be ignored then.

 

It wasn't a foul by Coates. The linesman didn't flag for a foul. Jagielka didn't appeal for a foul. Nobody analysing the game thought it was a foul. Probably because it wasn't a foul.

If i could be bothered to find the article I posted in the thread the other month then maybe you'd understand why. A key point that I fail to understand why it doesn't get so much more attention is the evidence that clearly shows how much influence United seemingly have in determining what happens to referees in terms of when they ref United again or what their next game is.

And lol at the Clattenburg paragraph. Probably exceeds 34 games now, but I digress.

He barely touched him, Sterling then progressed normally, and then fell over. It wasn't a free kick at all.

 

Also, Jelavic threw me his racism shirt today (it was signed as well), but I ended up giving it to a kid. Probably should've kept it, haha!

There was as much contact as the Torres sending off. Refs tend to give them when it's in a pretty 'safe' area of the pitch, as most the time it comes to nothing and it's not a talking point. You complain when it goes against you, but tend to ignore it if nothing comes from it, as it happens so often you are conditioned to see it as a soft freekick. Plus Sterling was slightly caught twice if he stays up there is little advantage. All players do that as they are told to go down if there is contact or they wont get anything.
