Rival watch

The media don't love Spurs like the Poool. Hence refs buying into the attempted example-making of Bale.
Which was emphatically demonstrated in the last game of the 2012-13 season.

 

I think it was clear cut, but if you had a video ref it would be simple:

Q: Was there enough contact for Goofy going to ground A: No Action: Book Goofy
Q: Was there enough contact for a penalty A: No or Not proven. Action: No penalty
Q: Is Goofy guilty of Simulation. Probably but not 100% conclusive. Action: Don't upgrade the yellow to a red.

Not an idea outcome but better than the actual one.

 

You misread it, 70% said he did dive, unlike Lineker, Shearer and Danny Murphy

 

Must have done,the mouser board are in full denial though

 

Sadly, that is simply a symptom of their general delusion.

 

Here's a stat which may surprise you - it did me - Emmanuel Adebayor now has as many Premier League goals as ex-Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp.

Eighty-seven.

(Stat from BBC Football website)

Does that make Ade an "Invicible"?

 

If United lost today would their chances of retaining the title be over?
(Question posed on BBC Football Live, ahead of Chelsea v United, with the latter lying 7th in the table)

 

Today's united team is Championship standard at best.

De Gea, Vidic and Carrick the only decent players.

 

I'm conflicted for this game. I think Chelsea winning is better for us but I'd love to see Moyes shut a few people up, particularly their own fans. Can't see United winning with that line up though, hopefully I'll be surprised.

 

With Citeh next week, we need Man Utd morale deflated. So a Chelsky win.

 

This Shreeves-Mourinho interview is painful to watch. Jose not interested, Shreeves persisting.

Not really bothered about the result today, my heart is gunning for United, my head for Chelsea. Either has its pros and cons.

 

Let's face it, United will get slaughtered, today.

 

Could be really damaging for Moyes if Chelsea batter Utd today. I expect a rather tedious and narrow win for Mourinho's mob, though. One or two goals in it, probably.

 

Not sure. With the side picked I think Utd will get thrashed.

 

I knew I should have put Oscar in my fantasy team!

 

Lucky lucky goal for Chelsea, they haven't had a sniff so far.

 

Chelsea have been crap, so far. Man Utd look so devoid of quality and confidence that they've not been able to take advantage, though.

 

2-0. Amateurish defending by Man Utd. They really do look shot.

 

Glad we didn't buy Willian, shame we didn't buy Hazard.

 

United are in real ****.

The sad thing is, they're not even going to bite the bullet and sack Moyes. Because Fergie took 4/5 years to get the team playing, they're obligated to give Moyes the same luxury. The game has changed now though, and that amount of time off the top is seriously damaging to a club of their stature, in a way it wasn't in the 80s.
