Zomg Carrick in forward pass shock!

 

[Cerb]

This refs abit of a twat.

 

[soze]

Think Theo is about to be carrried off he rolled his ankle looked painful

 

[Corran]

Fucking stoke fans singing Fucknut McLegSnappers name i hope they all get gangrene of the balls even the girls

And it looks like Cesc was taken off as a just in case and he should be fine for Sunday.

Tbh I dont blame the stoke fans... the Arsenal fans absolutely slaughtered the guy after the incident and most of the people that did were clueless and made way to much of it (including Wenger).

Basically, if Arsenal fans dont like hearing his name then they should have thought about that in the original period.

 

[Ch3tan]

Arsene insists didn't see?

To give it it's proper name: Acquired Isight Deficiency Syndrome

 

[Cerb]

About time someone who can actually pass came on.

 

[Ch3tan]

Just can't believe it wasn't for Calamity Carrick.

Alot of the Arsenal fans blamed him after hearing Ramseys side of the story where it was clear Ryan could of pulled out of the tackle but decided to take Ramsey out. Broken leg was never his intention but it was still an consequence of his hot headed actions.

But its neither here nor there chanting for a guy because he broke some ones leg shows a lack of class and i think anyone doing it is a scum bag but each to their own,

Shame there not much movement infront of him though . . . was 4 utd players spread across the backline and not moving, guess they just wanted him to smash it over the top. lol

Yeah chanting his name, after being booed by the arsenal fans. Wouldn't think football fans would ever do that.

Arsenal fans are far too far up Arsene's arse, it was just one of those things. Wenger should have known better than trying to criminalise a young footballer.

 

[gohan]

thats bollox, ramsay can say what he wants but from the replays it was clear it was a 50/50 ball and they colided leg to leg, 99% of the tiem neither would have been hurt and at the speed they colided shawcross could have broke his leg just as easily as ramsay

 

[cHodAX]

Yep but don't expect Arsenal fans to see it that way, they have to take the brainwashed Wenger view.

 

[Ch3tan]

It's the Platini and Wenger school of football, if players can't 100% guarantee they will play the ball, they should let the other player walk past them.

This!

Was a clear 50/50.
Ramsey can talk all he wants, but he always going to blame the other guy. It the way he would been told to explain it.

Was nothing stopping Ramsey pulling out when he saw Shawcross. If i was a manager and my player pulled out instead of going for the ball then I would slaughtered them for not given their all.

If Arsenal fans dont want Stoke fans to defend the guy and cheer him on, then you lot should stop booing him and fucking get over it. Until you do that, Stoke fans will do what they do and get right behind him

 

[Lethul]

Sky sports have just inspired me to this thought:

Rafa: "everywhere you go at Inter, you see Mourinho's face." The implication being that it was an impossible job.

Anyone think Leonardo is thinking: "everywhere you go at Inter, you see Rafa's face, I can't do wrong! win!"

At least Rafa advanced in the cups

I wrote a long reply but all that matters is Ramsey was his 3rd serious injury so he is not the saint people make out he is either.

I also think peoples opinion would be very different if a foreign defender took Rooney out in that manner.

 

[cHodAX]

Ahh well, we didn't play well but a draw ain't too shabby. Didn't see anything to be worried about tonight and with Giggs for the return (possibly Tony as well) we should be alot more effective in delivering the ball to the front reliably.

 

[Ch3tan]

And Leonardo hasn't? Typical Scouse fan, doesn't understand the rules of football.

It's a two leg knockout. Although I don't blame you for not paying attention, it's not a Thursday night.

 

[Cerb]

it was clear Ryan could of pulled out of the tackle but decided to take Ramsey out. ,

Nonsense. Players arn't allowed to go into 50/50's now?

We'll see

verdict from Inter forums:

"Let's hope that the team finds their inner winning attitude again when the CL hymn is heard and they will fight till the end. Because that might save us, since Leo's system won't give any help."

No no, please write the long reply. So we judge players on their ability to injure others now? Not their intent and style of tackle? There was nothing, what so ever, wrong with his challenge on Ramsey. Not one person outside of Arsenal thinks there was.

De Jong caused 3 injuries this season didn't he? So are we saying that because of the stats, Shawcross is as nasty as De Jong was in the early season?

 

[Vladamir]

Good result for zee Germans, sounds like a clanger for Cesar though!

Bayern goal: An absolute shocker for Inter keeper Julio Cesar, and in the 90th minute too. He spills Arjen Robben's shot from 25 yards and Mario Gomez, following up, has an easy job to smash home the rebound. Revenge is sweet for the German side... and they will have an away goal to take back to Munich.

Probably be OK at OT, but there's no getting away from the fact that United have, at best (and I'm being very generous), an average midfield. Quality replacements for Scholes are needed for next season; Gibson isn't up to it (and never will be), Anderson is good on his day, but his day is about twice a year, and Carrick is increasingly woeful. United should get past Marseille, but I doubt they'll get any further with this year's midfield.

 

[Cerb]

I agree. With a few more years anderson could be class but right now united have a second rate midfield without giggs and scholes.

 

[cHodAX]

Anderson is good on his day, but his day is about twice a year,

You know what, I am going to have to argue for Anderson here. Since he car crash his attitude has massively improved, he consistently works hard now but I feel he hasn't often been able to show his best because of the crap he has had to play alongside in Carrick and Gibson. Also Fletcher has had his worst season in 5 years, none of this has helped Anderson shine often enough but all the signs are there for me that he is back on the right path.

The midfield does need a massive overhaul though, Gibson and Carrick have to go, Scholes will stay one last year and that helps the transition somewhat. Having Park available more often would be nice as well but Fergie really needs to give Tunnicliffe and Morrison a try next season or get them on loan to good clubs asap to develop very promising talents.

As for buying, Defour is a decent option, I don't see Hazard coming and I don't fancy DeRossi at all.

Pretty sure you were all over Karl Henry when he as on his injury-causing spree? As were many others.

 

[Ch3tan]

Yeah, intent, his challenges were dangerous and he meant it imo.

Agreed, I said it at the time of the tackle on Aaron Ramsey that it was a 50/50 and Aaron Ramsey just came out a lot worse.

Plus besides all Wenger's moaning about such tackles Arsenal provided to be just as reckless with tackles.

hahahahahahaha, the lengths some people will go to.
