For doing what, bitching and moaning about how he is fucking shit (at least compared to what he gets paid), and looking like Shrek?

[kilabee]

It would take alot of coin for him to smile when he sees his ugly mug in the mirror every morning.

[Wandarah]

I imagine they've signed a nice contract for him to stay quiet, and he'll be off in Jan or the Summer. Same as Ronaldo - better than him going on a free.

It's best not to think about how much these cunts get paid.

[Spork]

Man I was feeling bad about that Newcastle game, woke up this morning, watched the goals and the last ten minutes, that was fantastic.

[maorifulla]

lets hope arsenal can maintain this momentum over the season

ive always had a soft spot for the gunners (my father being a fan) plus i just enjoy their style of football

[Spork]

Yea, I really hope they at least win the Carling Cup, I know it isn't really that prestigious a trophy these days, but the players really need to be able to claim ownership of something after all the hard work they have done, I mean, sure, I want them to win because I support them, but the main reason is for the players.

However, I do believe that if they do win the CC this year, if they don't win anything else this year, next year they definitely will.

Well at least he has finally come out of the closet with those shoes....

[Spork]

easy games coming up against Blackburn

Oh yea, that worked out well for you.

Both Arsenal and Chelsea were very lucky to take full points from their games tonight.

Also, FUCK YEA WOLVES!

Come on you Spurs, there is hardly I game where I allow myself to support such a filthy team, but this is one of them.

[henno]

What's the first rule of sport?

Play the whistle.

Sweet justice lol

[Thetruereddevil]

[maorifulla]

hahahah citeh!

Sweet justice lol

Nani asked the ref about three times before putting it in the net lol

Could have been a penalty, if not should have been a free kick against Nani for handball, but ref called neither....

Silly Goalie

[Spork]

It's around about this time where Lpool bounce back and the top 4 continues as normal, losing to Wolves.. City do not deserve to be in the top 4.

(Little bit ironic I know)

[maorifulla]

I bloody hope so

but im enjoying Man Citehs run of 2 games 1 goal for and 5 against lol

considering the money they have spent and the get beaten buy a bottom 4 team

LOL

[Spork]

I just saw the Nani goal... WTF Gomes?

What was the controversy about? Was it meant to be a free kick for Gomes?

he thought it was, ref never blew whistle, what else could nani di, he basically asked if it was ok lol

[Spork]

Wasn't it a handball by Nani? Didn't the assistant ref call him over? What sort of conversation did they have? How did the ref let it be a goal?

[kilabee]

Rules of football
#1 - Play to the whistle

[Thetruereddevil]

Wasn't it a handball by Nani? Didn't the assistant ref call him over? What sort of conversation did they have? How did the ref let it be a goal?

he was pulled back by a defender went down, collecting the ball with his hand when he fell
no penalty, gomes picks up ball, places it down as he thinks its a free kick, places it RIGHT IN FRONT OF NANI

nani looks at ref, looks again, asks was there a whistle, shoots the ball, Gomes clicks at last second, dives, misses, throws toys

[Spork]

lul. that's funny

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3205348/Man-City-stars-want-Mancini-axed.html

LOL. THATS HILARIOUS.

I hope they do axe him. Fucking idiots, Mancini is a brilliant manager.

I mean, even Sir Alex or Wenger would find the Mancs hard to manage as they are now.. If they axe Mancini, who do they exactly want?

[kilabee]

Sven.

[Thetruereddevil]

manage themselves, you see because they are paid so much they know better right?

[Spork]

I like what Harry Redface is doing, it really is pretty bad how there is no penalty for refs fucking up, which they do a lot. Even if this incident was correct, I still think there should be a panel who look into it, and if the ref made the wrong decision, which could have changed the game, then they should be dealt with.

aaaand it continues

yes a free kick should have been given, but gomes still fucked up

Fergie summed it up best, after the game saying to 'appy 'arry "I've got no F*** idea what just happened there"

and yes i do agree in a way spork, though some referees have been demoted before, was it graham poll with THREE yellow cards to one player?

i know in the NRL refs get demoted for bad performances for example

maybe a ref gets dropped to Championship, League One, or even reffing Leeds Uniteds next home game? I think i remember reading there is a rating system each coach does and individual experts for each game, just seems to be little consequence eh
