		<description>Thanks for reminding what J.Cole did to Ronaldo in that game + add his clueless comments about how Messi showed over a period of 2!!! games who is the best player in the world at the moment.

You know how this makes You look like J.Cole ?

Like a little pathetic jealous cunt.</description>

		<description>Very poor from the Chavs I must say.  Especially Joe Cole has come out saying Messi is a better player than Ronaldo, he obviously did not think that when he nearly cut him in two @ OO

They are playing a classless game and trying to defelect the fact that THEY are under pressure.  Remember they have won nothing this year and we are champions so the the pressure is off us.

Its an old cliche but let our football do the talking, and show them who is the best team in the country.

CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>I'm surprised Grant hasn't mentioned the penalty that Chelsea won against Liverpool, as he was still connected to the club at the time.</description>

		<description>sounds like sour grapes from the toad to me. 
just trying to lay the blame on others for not winning the league.

he's trying to play mind games with the master of mind games SAF.

won't work. infact I think he has fallen for the bait like Kevin Keegan and Arsene Wenger have done in the past.</description>

		<description>Check out this site:
http://www.rightresult.net/
This shows how the Premier League table would look if the referees got all their decisions right.
Team-Points actual-Points if all decision were right:
1. Man Utd-87-91
2. Arsenal-86-83
3. Chelsea-85-79

Surprise, surprise! If all decisions had gone right, we would have got 4 more points taking us to 91,  Arsenal would have finished 2nd and Chelsea would have got 6 points less and would have had to play the Champions League qualifiers next season. And we would have wrapped up the title at home against West Ham.
Erm..., what was that again Grant was taling about?

Also check out the Premier League Fair Play Table:
http://www.premierleague.com/page/FairPlayTable/0,,12306,00.html

United are 2nd, only behind Spurs, and gang of thugs are at 12. Actually quite an achievement for the gang of likes Terry and Drogba.</description>

		<description>haha @ Whiteside. It would be tough for Terry to grab a red card from a towering referee in his 'condition'.

It was quite amusing to see how short lived the sporting yet obviously forced praised was after we beat them to the title. Terry and Grant were only thinking f themselves but had to say something positive about us.</description>

		<description>I heard earlier that Avram Grant was also concerned about John Terry's partially dislocated elbow sustained in the Bolton game - he was worried about how the former England captain would be able to perform his refereeing duties in Moscow next week...
What annoyed me most about Avram's comments was that United would've won the league by the end of April if referees had been competent enough to do their job properly. The two stonewall penalties turned down at Boro, plus another at Blackburn meant the defeat at Chelsea would still see the gap at four points. Our win at home to West Ham would have then crowned us champions - being able to celebrate it in front of our home crowd... And that's not to mention the tale of two penalties at the game at Stamford Bridge. I still can't fathom the laws of obstruction in today's game - I heard everyone shout from the rooftops about Scholes' bodycheck at Wigan, but wouldn't United be in two Cup Finals if it weren't for the referee not seeing Ronaldo taken out Ice Hockey-style in the Portsmouth game... and Ballack's hug on Ronaldo when he came on at Stamford Bridge was not done as a show of affection... I guess I'm just trying to make the point that, as the saying goes, decisions even themselves out over a season, so if you're going to bring up some debatable refereeing decisions in one game, it should be also done for the others... Rant over.</description>
