I'm a Chelsea fan for the next 2 hours, then I'll go vomit.

Montana Moe · 03-01-2011, 01:58 PM

This David Luiz character is quite the player. He's played well in every Chelsea match I've seen him play in.

thanks for nothing Man United, cant hold a team that has lost to Everton and Liverpool at home the past few weeks

Barnet Flame · 03-01-2011, 02:30 PM

Oh goody, we can get our false hopes up again!

Vidic is such an idiot.

All I'm reading about is 'Rooney and United whining bitterly to the referees.'

Nothing out of the ordinary there.

d_phaneuf · 03-01-2011, 04:54 PM

strong words from Fergie on Atko

Quote:

"You want a fair referee - or a strong referee, anyway - and we didn't get that," Ferguson said. "I don't know why he has got the game. I must say, when I saw who the referee was I did fear it. I feared the worst.

those words would likely bring about a touchline ban at least I would think.... but they will probably just let Fergie choose the next 3 refs in United games

Webb, Webb, Webb

Why don't we see if Mr. Ferguson gets the same discipline as other managers get for similar criticism.

united · 03-02-2011, 12:26 AM

Tough loss to take, that one. I don't know why, but it was more crushing than I thought it would be.

Either way, a game that was completely dominated by one side in the first, and the other in the second. I thought it was very entertaining and hard fought match and it was nice to see two teams go at each other in the manner they did for once. Can't expect the same in the weeks to come. A draw was probably deserved, but in the end it wasn't to be.

That was a soft penalty, but one that had to be called. Unlucky for Smalling.

Stupid, stupid, decision making by Vidic. He played great up until that point and his frustration boiled over. Inexcusable but he'll be back.

You mean the always unbiased whiner Diane_Phaneuf didn't complain about Luiz's unspotted foul on Rooney, and then go on about how if it was any other team or player he would have been booked, sent off, and banned for several matches? Shocking.
When they don't watch the game, you can't expect them to post a legitimate take on the game.

haha I didn't say anything about that, only posted what Fergie said after the game, and I did see the game

the Luiz knee was clearly a foul but at worst its a yellow, and there are fouls like that in almost every game and you don't see other managers saying the stuff Fergie does (and getting away with it)

that was my point, I don't think United are a dirty team (outside of the occasional flying elbow by Rooney), I even disagree with people who think Scholes is dirty (he just doesn't know how to tackle, and he admits it)

I just think it's silly the stuff they get away with seemingly more than the Blackpool's and Wigan's of the world

I did agree with him on one thing though and I don't think it was a pen, Smalling got the ball and then Zhirkov's leg hit him, and he was all ready on his way down as well.

d_phaneuf · 03-02-2011, 01:38 AM

supposedly RVP has ligament damage and the prognosis is 4-6 weeks, massive blow

NBC · 03-02-2011, 02:15 AM

Vidic is a Serb thug who looks like he might have served in the VRS under Ratko Mladic.

Chelsea winning (yuk) was a good result for the title race, even though it makes on feel dirty to think that.

You're complaining? You know we're not referees right?

united · 03-02-2011, 12:35 PM

Alright, enough United bashing, I have to post a little feel good story now to counter you guys!

Taken from elsewhere.

The nicest 'celebrity' I've ever served was a young footballer. Strange to associate footballers with manners, I know.

He walked towards me, and as somebody who's son is a fan of the team he plays for I knew who he was as soon as he spoke to me.

At a hundred miles an hour and clearly flustered he said "I was wondering please if you could help me Miss. Do you sell - I'm sorry, I cannot pronounce it in English. Tagleeeteeelea. I'm sorry. That doesn't sound right. I can write it for you.....oh but my spelling not so good either. Is OK. Thank you anyway."

I quickly reassured him I knew what he wanted and I'd show him where it was.

The whole walk around to the pasta aisle he apologised for not being able to find it himself, for 'troubling' me and even for his pronunciation.

When we got there it was like I'd taken him to a case of buried treasure. his face lit up and he said 'Oh this is it. Yes! Thank you so very much Miss.'

Then he pulled out a 5 pound note and said 'for you'

I laughed and asked him what it was for and he said 'A tip. Because you help me so much.' When i explained that we can't accept tips and it's not generally customary to even be offered them, he blushed and said he was confused with tipping because it's very different where he's from - but to know that he was very grateful.

I finally told him I knew who he was and that my son was a fan. He was very pleased, and we talked for a few moments about his team and then we said our goodbyes.

I told my son when I got home and his face lit up, although he was annoyed at me for not getting an autograph! I didn't even think to ask!

The next day though, I was called by name to the customer service desk - and who stood there but my mystery footballer. He must have read the name on my badge. It turned out that he'd brought my son a signed shirt and even brought an unsigned photo with him so that he could dedicate it personally to my son once he'd asked me for his name.

Truly nice person.

His name? Most of you probably won't have heard of him. Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez.

I realize this probably happens all around the league and doesn't get covered, but it's a nice break from the negativity the usual English players bring.

d_phaneuf · 03-02-2011, 02:22 PM

speaking of the game yesterday

did anyone else see Gary Neville as a paying customer amongst the fans, thought that was funny

united · 03-02-2011, 02:37 PM

That was oustanding. He turned down VIP seats to sit in the away stand. What a legend.

Wazza! (Rooney) ####ing hell!

If the Nevilles can play for England so can I;
If the Nevilles can play for England so can I;
If the Nevilles can play for England,
If the Nevilles can play for England,
If the Nevilles can play for England so can I.
