He's one of the most experienced players in the league, probably second to Giggs yet goes in hard, fast, late and from behind on a very regular basis. If it was in another player they'd get red cards all the time and be chastised by the masses but because it's Scholes everyone just laughs it off like it's fine.

Made some sweet passes yesterday though

And he has learned Rafael to tackle as well it seems, got to be the worst tackler in PL. If he played for Stoke or Wigan he would lead red cards for sure.

Proper fan!

Much worse tacklers than Rafael tbh.

But yes, Rafael does dive in too much. Needs to learn to stay on feet. Fabio is much the same. It isnt a surprise though, seems to be a regular thing for south americans of their sort of age. Bit more rough and tumble over there compared to european leagues.
Though I see this improving has their decision making improves.

And to be honest, if you refering to the tackle against Liverpool, if the ref says carragher tackle wasnt anything major, then can you blame rafael for doing something similar? Especially after a player tried to stud him in the thigh seconds before.

But he does need to learn not to be so hot headed.

Reading giving the bitters a real fight so far, touch wood.

 

[Corran]

Ah well, clearly we be playing City. Cant see reading getting a result now they a goal down

 

[Gray]

Just noticed earlier.

Oh Jack Rodwell you utter nubbins! Would link it here, but News of the World is shit online now.

But he sent a few interesting pictures to one of those Rooney prossies.

 

[Keitanz]

How can he be biased.... He's not a united supporter.

if you say so, he goes on about Ferguson and some of the Man Utd player like he's their number 1 fan.

Don;t see him going on about any other team / player / manager..

United beat the Scousers in the FA Youth Cup quarters.

VIDEO: Liverpool 2-3 United (FA Youth Cup Quarter-Finals)

Thanks to dodgy red cards :worthy:

lol we had a guy sent off for a dodgy penalty run up ffs, how can you complain about the ref? And the two sent off for fighting both deserved to go, ended with 9 players each but we scored 3 and you scored 2.

 

[Corran]

Nice finish by Morrison for the last goal... lets just hope he sorts his fecking head out and becomes the player people think he can

 

[cHodAX]

FA have really fucked up, they need to move this semi to Cardiff asap.

[Corran]

THey wont move it, im sure "wembley" corporations will be sure that it would cost more in compensation to forcefully move the final away from them then it would cost to police

how much did you pay for a ticket to stamford bridge, cornokz? I was thinking about going but tickets are 60-75 quid WHAT THE FUCK

 

[DaGaffer]

Lol, this gave me a good chuckle.

For the joke to work it would probably have been a good idea not to choose Steven Gerrard, one of the two current Liverpool players who actually has quite a few winners medals (10 currently).

Roughly ~£50 I think. friend of mine stood in line all night in the snow to buy tickets and picked up 41 and paid in cash. All tickets were gone within 3 hours

Why don't you want a fair game? Considering our track record i'm sure your wish will be fulfilled.

Nani back in training, could make the bench for Marseille.

 

[megadave]

all those spilt tears for nothing

 

[Corran]

all those spilt tears for nothing

only reason he made such a quick recovery is that they managed to stitch the wound up. Took a SURGEON to do it though, not the normal people that do the job!
And just because he healing quickly doesnt mean it was for nothing. Could been much worse. If you want we can arrange for someone to rip your shin apart like that and see how much fun you find it

Only hold up will be if the wound not fully sealed, no point risking it tearing open again as dont want it to get infected.

 

[Vasconcelos]

Lol!

He tries so hard but the move is ridiculous

 

[cHodAX]

10 days without training, stop being a dick.

 

[Vladamir]

Haha Vasc - he learnt from the best

What? Didn't he need to amputate?

Im not comparing just that games tackles. Every game I have seen Rafael play he has done dangerous diving tackles that might as well result in a red card if you follow the rule book 100%.

Is that Glen Johnson defending!??!
