The old Man Utd Thread

Fucking brilliant.

Sounds about right. Hateful team.

Something about people fucking off to their own football threads. Eh Blinky?

edit:

Exactly. Wanna talk about those mercenary cunts at Manchester City? Do it in your own back yard. Wanna talk positions and other players? Fuck off back to the football thread. This is The Arsenal thread. Gooner talk.

edit:

I wanted to see if you lot were defending the decision. Pleased to see no one was. And then Phresh turned up.

Carry on.

[Chooch]

There was about as much contact on Berbatov as there was on Walcott yesterday. Both went down easy, both pens.

[exwhyzed]

Fuck sake we are so slow. Berbatov needs to track back more.

[Chooch]

Beglin is a twat.

[Chooch]

Dirty cunt.

[Gabzy]

Dirty cunt! Hateful team, etc.

[BlinkyBear]

There was about as much contact on Berbatov as there was on Walcott yesterday. Both went down easy, both pens.

And will Berbatov come out after the game and admit he dived?

And you're utterly deluded if you think that 'challenge' on Berbatov is a penalty.

[Chooch]

I dont think Theo said the pen he was awarded was a dive.

[phresh]

And you're utterly deluded if you think that 'challenge' on Berbatov is a penalty.

Just to clear up my commect, would you be complaining if you'd got that aginst Spurs?

It shouldn't be a penalty but until FIFA clamp down on diving, players will continue to do it.

[BlinkyBear]

I dont think Theo said the pen he was awarded was a dive.

No, but at least he was decent enough to admit he did it at all.

So am I to give you the benefit of doubt and assume that you were 'laughing' atvthe award of the penalty, rather than supporting the decision?

[bradigor]

No, but at least he was decent enough to admit he did it at all.

Like a killer admitting that yes, he does kill.

[BlinkyBear]

Like a killer admitting that yes, he does kill.

Yep. Diving in a football game and murdering are comparable.

[Fry Crayola]

I dont think Theo said the pen he was awarded was a dive.

Probably because it wasn't - he lunged to play the pass, not to win the penalty.

[phresh]

Strange half really. We've been poor but Liverpool's defense keep giving the ball away and Torres looks shot. I've generally agreed with the comments that it's a tactical issue but that simply can't explain why every touch he has is on an Ameobi like level. They really should give Kelly the RB spot, he's coped better against Giggs than the majority of RB's.

I thought Gerrard's red was harsh form the first view as it didn't look two footed but when you see it from the opposite angle it's pretty much the definition of a two footed off the ground red card.

Well, i was lauging at the whole 'new dawn' for Liverpool being shot down in 30 seconds by a dodgy decision and scored penalty. I've given up caring about diving anymore, all the teams are at it and not one of them will do anything about it. It's pretty depressing when Walcot admitting he dived, after actually diving, is seen as some kind of positive moment.

[Dayman]

No, but at least he was decent enough to admit he did it at all.

So if ol' Berbs comes out tonight and admits he dived at some point, he's absolved of all diving wrongdoings?

[bradigor]

Yep. Diving in a football game and murdering are comparable.

You wouldn't of liked my original comparison then.

[Guest]

Players from all teams go down too easily at the merest hint of contact in the penalty area, it's not just United players you know?

I'm not saying it's right, but it's just the way it is these days.

We aren't playing particularly well though and I reckon Liverpool have a good shout of getting an equalizer if we don't shut the game out pretty soon.

[exwhyzed]

What fucks me off is that we pass it between the two centre backs shouting ole then just hoof it up the pitch, back to them.

[exwhyzed]

Anderson has looked good since coming on. He's found a new lease of life. Really thought his stay at United was over.

[Chooch]

Another abject display but again another win.

[Majora]

Berbatov getting MOTM was really bizarre, he didn't do much. Giggs was much more threatening over the course of the game.

Pretty dull game but once Gerrard got himself sent off we didn't have to do an awful lot.

[phresh]

Yeah, i'd have given it to Carrik who is back to his spectacularly unspectacular best of a few years back.

[Trigg]

Good result without playing well at all(shows how poor Liverpool are at the moment), dubious pen granted but Berba as made the most of the situation. Fuck knows what the defender did sticking is leg out.

Gerrard is always had that dirty side so it's good to see him been punished ever once in a while the dirty bastard.

Over all, the win is the most important thing so job well done!

If this was Football Manager I'd select "good result but performance not good enough" for the post match team talk.
