According to some, United were gifted the title yesterday. Who knew?
“Ref’s cock-up hands Fergie crown”
“Two goal Cristiano Ronaldo inspired “lucky” Manchester United to an amazing 5-2 triumph over Spurs”
After Liverpool picked up three points yesterday the pressure was on. I can only imagine how chuffed they were when we were 2-0 down at half-time.
After the match, there was much talk of the penalty awarded to Michael Carrick, which took the spotlight away from Liverpool’s good fortune yesterday!
Liverpool’s first goal came from a free-kick that never should have been awarded. Javier Mascherano dived.
Liverpool’s second goal followed a Lucas handball to set up Dirk Kuyt.
United scored another four goals after their “controversial penalty” whilst two of Liverpool’s three goals in a 3-1 win were “controversial”. Funny how the media ignores that though. Instead, they will focus on one decision in a game where we scored another four goals has undone the work of 33 other games. This country really gets off on hating United eh.
Regardless, I guess we shouldn’t really give a shit. The media can write what they want, Alan YSB Hansen can throw his dummy out on MOTD as much as he likes, because WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE, I SAY WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!
Man Utd News 24/7
Exactly!
That was definitely a penalty for me, carrick had the ball out of gomes way and if he had not been brought down, that would have been a tap in for him. Still United added 4 more goals, so definitely we did not rely on a penalty to win!
I said it in another thread.This could have a negative effect on the way referees treat us from now on.When we go to Boro,a place where Ronaldo gets kicked a lot, we will need ref protection and impartiality.Not sure how much of those we are going to get now.As soon as we wrap the damn title up,lets give those ABUs a lot of vaseline because their asses will sting a lot.
I actually don’t think it was a penalty yesterday.
I’d have been pissed if that decision was given against us.
But I don’t care because we have had a few decisions go against us recently namely the FA Cup Semi Final v Everton. Swings and Roundabouts.
We’re top of the league. Now that’s a fact.
I could see from the replay in Singapore (telecast from Sky?) that Carrick managed to flick the ball away from Gomes before he was brought down.
It was a dream 2nd half and I am glad I didn’t stop watching the game though it was 1:30am at half-time. But a question for fans out there: When Ronaldo tore off his jersey and threw it, was there a significance to the act?
Bob Koh i don’t think it was.When you score a goal you celebrate with the first way that comes to your mind.Ronaldo did this.Ruud has done it in the past too.I think that after a while we saw him really excited about a goal.You should have seen me at the time.It was undoubtedly the biggest rush of the afternoon.Even a snowman would have gone crazy if he made it 3-2 at that point.What a performance!
By the way, where is gotta have tiny tears? Probably teaching his daughter a Howard Webb song!Just kidding of course.
lets be clear about this. it definately was a penalty. i distinctly rember ronaldo putting the ball on the penalty spot and drilling it in.
im hear costa
we are in the mist of a rio song to tell you the truth
The media and tv pundits and nutrals know that even though manchester united sit top of the prem and with the help of ref’s and luck will probably lift the title the ugly truth is LIVERPOOL are the best by a mile and you know it but i expect all the typical name calling to follow this reply i.e murderers and such…………While i am here can any one of you tell me the name of the Man U supporter who cut hair off Sir matt busbys head while he lay dead in a hospital he was prosicuted so it wasnt lies as is what a typical manc beleves google it and be ready to be shocked.
Cool.Definitely gotta love Rooney!Was involved in all 5 goals.Player of the year for me. So now your initials are GHTTAGLR? what a mouthful!
Redronan lay off the drugs mate.5 goals against 11 players.Have you done that this season?No.Not even against 10 players.The table never lies.You should have been 5 behind after yesterday’s travesty at Hull.
I should have said 5 goals in 22 minutes against 11 men
ill keep it simple
but i really really am fallin in love with rooney
The fact utd didn´t get a blatant penalty last week has come around this week to help utd on there way!thankfully…
Regardless, what a great 2nd half performance and hopefully that will carry them through for the remainder of the season!!
guys, i’ve been hearing that giggsy has won the PFA award!!! i really hope it’s true….
What about Mascherano’s dive that led to the free kick for the Ratsniffers’ first goal against Hull?
I was awaiting the morning papers with glee – just waiting to see how ‘lucky’ United had been and how much the media had forgotten about the rat munchers game at Hull – as expected, I was not surprised with the vile spilling towards United!
UNITED > media
@ Bob Koh, cheers mate, I’m from Singapore too, and I’m convinced from our telecast that it was a pen. Carrick got the ball away from Gomez and it looked from one angle as though it was his touch that pushed it away, but from another it seems as though he didn’t at all.
I don’t see how there’s so much fuss over our ‘luck’ though. It’s disgusting that there is an utter ABU infestation blind to the fact that we played brilliantly and showed that much passion and grit to fight back and win comfortably. I watched the Liverpool match too and the dippers were lucky as hell to get the first goal even though Hull were dominating then. Of course, no one’s going to see that.
Top of the League, and THAT’S A FACT!
Alright the penalty was fortunate as it could’ve easily have been given or not but let us not remember when King fouled Ronaldo in the final and applauded the the incorrect decision, like a true wanker. What about the penalty we should’ve had against Everton too? It’s all fucking swings and roundabouts and the fact that they’re looking at 1 decision that made 1 goal is a bit of a joke. Liverpools fortune? They’ve fucking had it all season, you can look at yesterdays fortune or you can look at the countless decisions before that, it’s a fucking joke that we get one decision and it takes away from our game when Everton and Spurs got the incorrect decision no one mentioned that.
Top of the fucking league!
you should consider that the keeper always (ALWAYS!) risks to give a pen away when he gets in like gomes did yesterday. i’m not too sure wheter he got something of the ball anyways… but who cares? WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!!! the trophy is ours! i give a shit on the media’s and the dipper’s opinion, they’re really bad losers / sportsmen.
to be honest i’m pretty sure the game wouldn’t have gone another way had the penalty not been awarded. i thought we really played well, even in the first half, second half was just astonishing! and we would have hit at least 4 even without that penalty. when you saw that fire in rooney, tevez, ronaldo and co you just knew there was something going to happen! and it did. luv you guys!!!
Paybck was a bi$%& yestrday.For Harry Redknapp and the way he beat us with Pompey last year as well as Ledley KIng and him applauding when we didn’t get a penalty at the CC final.Let’s just hope that the refs don’t get intimidated.
For the christ sake where was all these press , when an important decision run against us at semifinal FA cup(i mean the penalty).am sure the diapers were so happy when we were down 2-0 hahahaha we r the champion cheers united
MOTD were disgusting, the whole panal and liniker there so bitter its hilarious
The ABU’s are out in force, the media are a disgrace.
liverpool = media darlings
Manchester United = Champions
Off topic, but anyone else seen this?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/apr/26/manchester-city-torture-tape
Given the previous Citeh owner allegedly shot his political opponents in the back of the head, the Berties sure know how to find ethical owners don’t they?
It’s funny how the Liverpool-loving FA/BBC/football-establishment pick up on every little point so they can suggest there’s an advantage to United. From the Stretford End yesterday it looked a clear pen (it would, though, wouldn’t it?), but the various radio phone-ins and bulletin boards seem equally split, which suggests Webb might just have been right.
What hacks me off, though, is the way Liverpool’s shortcomings are glossed over. No foul but they still get a free-kick; Skrtel clearly obstructed Folan before his dying swan act, that provoked Folan into kicking out (no pen, curiously enough); the Lucas hand-ball that was overlooked and the fact that the Alonso corner that produced the goal was taken from about a foot outside the quadrant.
For Liverpool these things are the ‘rub of the green’: when it’s United it’s a national outrage.
yes Scott you are absolutely right. No matter how they try to minimalise Liverpool’s childish acts against Hull, it DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT WE ARE ON TOP!
Although I feel disgusted with the unfair treatment from the media, Liverpool’s dive and actings went unmentioned, but i bet you those ABUs and Liverpools are more disgusted becos no matter what they do, they are still behind us. HAHAHAHA to liverpool and the media.
The disgraceful British media reminds me of why I decided to leave England for the continent during Maggies reign of terror.
Disgusting how even the BBC is on the ABU bandwagon. Even more disgusting how the press loves the thieving rat munching dippers and their scabby football team.
Manc Lad for Life – United for Life!
Also worth noting Spurs shouldve been reduced to 10 men after this Palacios two-footed flying assault-attempt (http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/9347/palacios.gif) – but somehow it seems like all media (incl. MOTD) missed that.
Can anyone think of and list some of the dodgy decisions Liverpool have got through the season?
I’d like to have a good long list before I go into work tomorrow….
MKRed spot on.
During the halftime yesterday, the tv showed highlights from liverpool’s game. I shouted and laughed out loud in the cafe that its better for me to lose the game than to have somebody acted so foolishly like Skrtel. haha.
One of the liverpool fans sitting behind our table cried “he’s team is losing and he’s acting so boldly”
I looked behind after the 4th goal, those liverpool cunts are gone.. Just imagine how they felt.. haha
What a second half, i couldnt catch my breath when we scored the third goal, it was astonishing. am living in Iraq and am so proud to be fan of this magnificent club .
am pretty sure after this performance we wont concede the title to liverpool coz united is simply fabulous . Come on united ,
Re Redron.
If Liverpool are the best, how come they’re out of everything?
You’ve had more penalties than anyone else this season.
you’ve had more players sent off against you than anyone else
you’re the only side that hasn’t had a player red carded this season
you’ve scored more goals in injury time than anyone else
And yet with all this advantage, your second in the league and out of every single competition.
But by your reckoning Liverpool are the best by a mile.
Do you suffer from delusions?
Haha, you just gotta laugh at Redron! ? Best team in the world eh?
Let’s see, uhm, Carling Cup? nope
FA Cup? nope
fuck it, Champions League? nope
For god’s sake the most difficult league in the world? 2nd, and a big fat nope for the last 19 years.
yeah you lot put United to shame!
No Knightsmith, he suffers from RAFALUTION!
We’ve been knocked out of the FA Cup 2 years running by refs. Wonder why no one in the press has bothered to pick up on that?
We’ve had an injury list as long as John Holmes cock ( Nev, Brown, Rafael, Evra, Fabio, Rio, Hargreaves, Scholes, Carrick, Anderson, Possebon, Ronaldo, Rooney) wonder why no one in the press has made much of that?
When Fergie complains about a decision, i.e. Pompey last year, the press like to critisize him, when he shrugs off a bad decision, i.e. Everton last week, not one mention of his fair play. Wonder why?
When Ronaldo dives, he’s a cheating, arrogant cunt who should be banned. When Gerrard dives, it’s chuckle’s all round, and clever play. Wonder why?
When United spend 30 million on Berbatov, we’re buying the title. When Arsenal spend 20 million on Arshavin, or Liverpool spend 26 million on Torres, they’re just good signings, wonder why?
When Benitez launches into a verbal attack on Fergie, it’s clever mind games. When Fergie responds, he’s showing a lack of class and respect, wonder why?
The press are sad bastards who have a huge chip on their shoulders over United. Perhaps it’s a London thing, they know how many titles Arsenal and Chelsea would have shared over the last 10 years had it not been for us, and this pisses them off. But why the Liverpool love in then? Fuck knows, but it’s there. Just one look at the BBC tells you that, with Green, Lawrenson, Hansen and legendary ABU’s Wright and Shearer
London Bias.
@Dazjoe “When United spend 30 million on Berbatov, we’re buying the title.Arsenal spend 20 million on Arshavin, or Liverpool spend 26 million on Torres, they’re just good signings, wonder why?”
because the press knows they cant win the title, so how can you say they are buying the titles hahahahahahha
i agree Alpha_RS, theres only one club in this whole country and its united
I watched the game again on Setanta, and both John Champion and Craig Burley were repeatedly making remarks about how the penalty changed the complexion of the game, and 3 times they mentioned how it must be demoralising on Spurs as well as how it must be demoralising on the Liverpool fans who were watching! who the fuck cares you fucking pair of bastards. Unbelievable hearing them saying that on more than one occasion. Poor fucking Liverpool eh!
We have been fucked over on numerous occasions with stone wall penalties not being awarded, most notably last weekend and Portsmouth last season in the FA Cup. Be interesting to see what action the FA take against Beetroot face Redknapp after his comments about Webb, because it is no different to what Fergie said about Martin Atkinson’s failure to award that penalty in the FA Cup last season.
Scott – not just Alan YSB Hansen, but wingnut cunt Lineker as well. Both were repeatedly making the statement about the penalty changing the pattern of the game. Funny how Hansen failed to condemn cunt Kuyt for blatantly kicking Boeteng in front of the ref before scoring their second yesterday. Seems he’s allowed to go round kicking people and fly kicking people like Phil Neville.
Top of the league!
MOTD- ?
For a start it was a penalty. Gomes touches Carrick a fraction of a second before he touches the ball. Man first, ball second=penalty. Not to mention, as all the journo’s keep ignoring even after Ronaldo scored it was 1-2. I’ve heard argument after argument since yesterday about how that penalty gave us momentum. No doubt it did. But I’ve watched many a Man Utd game when we had all the momentum and still didn’t win e.g. at Eastlands last year. Momentum means nothing if you dont turn it into anything and Spurs were in a position to prevent us getting back into it. You’d think that Howard Webb had awarded us three of the five goals the way certain people are talking about it! As if there aren’t still five games for us to play and all…
I was at the game yesterday, and whilst it did look like a soft pen, I’m not having this bollox about it changed the complexion of the game… For me, Tevez coming on at half time did that…
On the same theme, I was speaking earlier to a mate who’s a Spurs fan, who told me that Gary Pallister was on the radio earlier saying that he was “embarrassed” at Howard Webb’s display yesterday… He apparently mentioned that it was as close to bribing a ref as you can get… If he did say this, I’m disappointed to say the least… my view on it was it was the penalty decision was the only controversial one he made all game…
As for Tevez, SIGN HIM UP! He was superb yesterday… even when the players was trotting out for the second half, Tevez sprinted up the touchline, ready to come on… Does he do everything with that much energy? Is he around the supermarket with his trolley, sprinting around the aisles…
From a tactical point of view, my other take on Tevez coming on was that it gave Woodgate and King someone to occupy… Rooney and Berbatov on their own didn’t trouble those two much in the first half… Tevez came on, Berba dropped a bit deeper, Rooney played wide right and it really troubled them…
Yea “arry was saying the same thing. “the penalty changed everything”. Did he think that a United team, 2-0 down playing with four stickers were going to give up attacking if we hadn’t pulled one back within the hour?!!
For me it was anything but controversial anyway. When you allow a player to go one on one with your keeper, it’s 50/50 he’s going to score or get a pen. Besides what about Palacios two feet lunge that Ronaldo just avoided? Wonder if ‘arry thinks they’s be 2-0 up at half time if they had been reduced to ten men after 10 mins?!!
Honestly, take of the effin red-tinted glasses. No way in hell was that a penalty. Honestly, learn the rules of the game before yuo spew your nonsense.
Palacios should have been sent off, but same goes to CR. He didn’t get a yellow for bringing down Lennon.
Karma’s a b*tch isn’t she, hi Redknap, remember last years FA Cup?
Also just heard that Jageilka is injured, If I remember, he was the one who Welbeck should have had a penalty off, but he didn’t and now he can’t play in the final. I’m not rejoicing over his injury, but karma can be so mean.
So pat what’s your take on Skrtel n Kuyt? Dont dare to comment?
You cannot handle the FACT that your hated by everyone the balloon has burst for your club your hated by the media you dont scare lower teams anymore we “The Mighty Liverpool 5 TIMES” came to your theatre of pure filthy shit and raped your team and showed all the rest how to not just beat you but HUMILIATE you…….PRICELESS.
Its taken nearly 20 years for you to catch our record up and a mighty slice of luck along the way BUT you arnt there yet after all i still expect you to lose to arsenal and man city in the prem.
But Arsenal will beat you at old toilate on wednesday in the CL and then you’ll be shitting your selves in the prem again and drop points.
I hope SLUR alex festerbreath picks berba n kiki as there both BRILL ha ha ha ha ha…….and Ronaldo and giggsy please please SLUR pick em…….lol
We are United and United we must stay.
Yes, Scott. Fuck all this haters. We should do our job.
I feel sorry for the guys who have to listen to that disgraceful commentary. Is there one single manс ? yes, dirty place to be in.
RedRonan – I think it’s rather sad to see how low your club and support has sunk. No longer in the running for any trophies, you resort to getting off on one result against United. 4-1 in your cup final eh? It’s sad. I tend to get excited about ACTUAL cup finals, so used are we to getting a result against you at OT and Anfield.
I can handle the fact we’re hated though. Hated and adored, but never ignored.
Viva Fat Rafa!
I understand Scott that you are an honest and generous person and give some people the opportunity to masturbate here. but some comments just don’t have to live longer than 30 seconds.
if you win 10 championships in 15 years of course it’s luck.
You can’t beat the system but you can just don’t give a fuck.
but it’s absolutely disgusting. i didn’t think it can happen in such country as England. People are the same everywhere, people are equal bullshit and this world is gone.
“Hated and adored, but never ignored.”
to memorize. words of gold.
Redronan can’t even spell ‘toilet’. Typically illterate rat munching Scouse bastard.
Redronan was that your mouth or your ass talking?Whichever it was, make sure you wash it before you come here again.
“Hated and adored, but never ignored.”
thats a FACT
Did anyone notice that Liverpool have a two days more to rest than Newcastle do before their upcoming game.But of course,Webb gifted us the title.Cunts.
Congrats to Giggs for PFA of the year!
well i think its becase those livepools cant answer me about Skrtel haha and they are ashamed of it themselves.
man i love this
Lol at all the comments above.
I just wanna chip in on one thing cantona7 said. About his experience watching a Utd game at a cafe and a table with SCOUSERS behind watching the same game.
Lol..ever wonder why all the ABU’s seem to like to watch Utd play and cheer for ANYteam that plays agst united even tho they dont support them???? How they seem to find the team to watch a team they sooo horribly ‘hate’?? Gosh..i mean, talk abt wasting your time eh? =)
Go and support your own team and watch your own games fucking ABUs! Why bother supporting a team like Hull, Boro, Wigan and Newcastle when you dont even know a single fucking player in that team?? Just cos they’re playing agst Utd??? Gosh…get a fucking life, will ya? =)
SLUR alex festerbreath……………
i see the standard of education in Liverpool is still as impressive as ever…
when the only industries up there is prostitution, grieving and thieving you tend to be a little thick.
what a prick he was….
Ref Webb was dead right awarding the penalty. In this situation the keeper must get the ball and if he failed thats a foul. This is a gamble every keeper must decide and refree wiew was spot on.
