A lot of ex referee's,have come out of the woodwork to say the Nani's challenge was not a red card offence,yellow was the most popular,in a worst case scenario
 
UEFA commencing an investigation into ManUres behaviour 'after' the game. Unclear yet whether it will include the perfectly reasonable hounding and sarcastic applause of the ref by Ferdinand and Co or whether it will be just about the clubs failure to meet post-match commitments.

Place your bets, guys...... <whistle>
 
The Chav's Ron Gourlay say's chelsea must finish top4 so they can pit themselves against the best in europe,didn't make much of a job of it this season ,and they were only there because they flucked a C/L win

A disgruntled Red Devils supporter rang the emergency services to vent his anger following the Portuguese winger’s sending off in their Champions League defeat to Real Madrid

Nottinghamshire Police have revealed that a furious Manchester United fan rang 999 to vent his anger at Nani's sending off against Real Madrid on Tuesday evening.

Though many observers may have termed referee Cuneyt Cakir’s decision to send off the ex-Sporting Lisbon man as "criminal", one 18-year-old Red Devils supporter took the description a touch too literally.

Of course, in terms of football lookalikes, Nani has regularly been compared with former 'Smooth Criminal' Michael Jackson, but it seems this fan believed the winger was the victim on this occasion.

Thankfully, the supporter later apologised for calling the police, and control room chief inspector Ted Antill has called on people to think before dialling 999.

He said: “While this recent example may be amusing, it illustrates the sort of insincere calls we have to deal with on a daily basis in the Control Room.

“They waste our time and they direct us away from genuine victims of crime, particularly if we dispatch officers out to something that turns out to be a bogus report.

“I would ask people to think before picking up the phone for emergency services. I would also advise parents to ensure your children are aware that prank calls and the reporting of made-up crimes is a crime in itself."

Yes, Mr Manchester United fan, that says "children", not 18-year-olds.

Thre year ban from Europe with a bit of luck.

Translation: Ron Gourlay says Chelsea must finish top 4 so he can save his job and rake in his 7 figure salary.

We're in the CL because we deserved to be but having finished 6th it papered over the cracks, we now need to win all our home games and pick up a couple of aways to seal 3rd but it's been a disastrous season all round.
 
From what I've seen in the past,United usually get away with a lot of ghorry stuff from their players.
They do say "what comes around,comes around!"

Nani,didn't your nanny teach you to keep your feet on the ground instead of trying to put someones eye out?

What does Ferguson teach his players I wonder.......?
The refs our 12th man? Apparently not this time!
 
Manchester United ready to seek £20m summer deal for out-of-favour striker Wayne Rooney

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...l-for-out-of-favour-striker-Wayne-Rooney.html

No direct quotes, so in reality just speculation and a journo needing to meet targets for filling pages BUT Rooney can't be happy with losing his "main man" place to RVP? and Fergie decided Wellbeck was better suited to the support striker role (and to deal with alonso) then Rooney.

Possibly a move is what Rooney needs to become a better player, as I still believe he can produce superb form.
 
Good shout, or Bayern? I know "fat boy" gets a ton of stick, but hes a class act and not sure Fergie rates him as highly these days.
 
I was thinking more Tranmere - take him back closer to Merseyside.....
 
I'd like to see him go to Barca, would add a whole new dimension to their play and his ability would soar.

Barca can probably sing anyone they want from the premership, you honestly think they'll take Rooney over suarez.

You honestly think that someone with a short passing game like Rooney could even cut it at barca, his short game is fkn terrible, oh wait, Barca play an intricate short passing game.

No, no, rooney won't be going there, PSG probably
