So, Who’s The Chairman Of The FA?

The FA today confirmed that Wayne Rooney would serve a two match ban for swearing after he scored his hattrick against West Ham. Even journalists who salivate at the thought of slagging off Manchester United, like Oliver Holt, have admitted what a balls up the FA have made of this.

So, how is it possible that the FA could have got it so wrong?

Two words.

David Bernstein.

The former Manchester City board member and chairman was appointed the chairman of the FA at the start of the year. When leaving City he said: “I would like to thank our wonderful fans for their backing. They have been fantastic in their support, which has never wavered even during the most difficult times. I have been touched by their kindness and enthusiasm. I have supported Manchester City since I was a boy and I am desperate for us to succeed.”

We’ve seen just how desperate he is for that today, ensuring that Rooney is banned for the FA Cup semi-final, City’s final hope of silverware this season in their 35th year since they last won a trophy.

And you couldn’t make this up. The man who is so offended by Rooney’s swearing that he felt a two match ban was an appropriate punishment, worked for French Connection before joining City’s board and was behind their controversial range of t-shirts which included: “fcuk this”, “hot as fcuk”, “mile high fcuk”, “fcuk me”, “fcuk her”, “too busy to fcuk”, “fcuk football”, “fcuk fashion”, “fcuk fear” and “fcuk on the beach”.

What?! Fcuking what?

    I’m saving up all this injustice being passed on to us until the end of the season… when we lift number 19 it will make it even sweeter given all the shit that’s been thrown our way.

  2. St Scholes Of Salford says:

    F.C.U.K the FA and Bernstein!

    Twat!

  4. thedeviltiweets says:

    Heard Paddy saying this before too, fucking disgrace. No doubt the line that punishing big players sets a big example was pulled out… not David, more like “let’s get this kid out of the biggest game in city’s insignificant history”

    Didn’t know about the fcuk link… nuff said really. “What fcuking what?”

  5. Alpha_RS says:

    Am I the only person who thinks Rooney is an idiot for putting himself in this situation?

  6. John of Arabia says:

    Fcuking asshole. Why do we have to cope with those cunts? Rooney should announce his retirement from England, then we’ll see who’s right!

  7. bchilds says:

    @Alpha_RS

    Absolutely not, he was an idiot for giving the FA a decision to make. The decision they made was ridiculous but, I agree, could have easily been avoided.

  8. Walo3 says:

    The only thing he can do to spit in their faces is retire interantionally. They’ll bow down and kiss his feet to get him back.

  9. MG says:

    What the FCUK :lol:

    In the days of my youth – yes I had one ;) I wore one of those stupid fucking FUCK shirts which literally had a man and woman in fuck positions spelling FCUK!

    I know it’s terrible – I am ashamed – I need forgiveness after finding out fuckhead city boy was in charge.

    At least wisdom has caught me up ;)

  11. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Alpha, What and take away the one aspect that makes us all human. I can understand that professionals have more responsibility, but that doesn’t mean we can take away the passion and fire that makes them human. If you wanted perfect sports stars, there would be no Maradona, Kobe Bryant, George Best, Muhammad Ali and I can name a zillion other examples.

    You have to see everything in context and the context of Rooney’s reaction was fully understandable given what he has been through (Mostly of his doing but still..) in the past year. And it would’ve been bad had he not apologized, but he did publicly apologize.

    What more do the F.A. want? Do they want Rooney to go to everyone’s houses and play Santa Claus for their kids to prove that he is rehabilitated?

    Again, don’t think I am pissing you off or don’t respect your opinion? But take away that aspect of Rooney’s game, then there is no point in him playing for us. This is the same thing SAF has said many times when asked how does he make Rooney control himself.

  12. devilz11 says:

    To be, or not to be,–that is the question:–whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them?

    The ABU will never stop. Also, they will never succeed in dousing our indomitable spirit.

  15. slim says:

    @Alpha_RS

    Yup just you, maybe you and madmike. Putting himself in this situation? Being human is now being put in a situation ? Wonder what it will be like living in the future if we can’t see past this non issue,because thats exactly what it is. He even apologized immediately. Total waste of time this and FA has made a mountain of it, its an absolute disgrace

  16. rattymcrat99 says:

    It wasn’t a smart move by Rooney, and when I heard it I thought, “Oh, here comes a fine Wayne.” Which would have made perfect sense considering he was looking in the camera and unless he’s a complete moron, has to know there is a microphone at least nearby. So no, not everyone who is captured swearing should be fined, but when it is deliberate like that, yeah, fine should be automatic and increasing with each offense. Maybe after like 5 offenses, then a suspension is warranted.

    Rooney was wrong, but two wrongs don’t make a right, especially when the second wrong is much worse than the first.

  17. Dave Malaysia says:

    Cmon there must some way for us to retaliate,right?

    Any ideas?

  18. fifthcolmnblue says:

    So how long has David Gill been on the FA board of directors then lads?

    A damned sight longer than David Bernstein has been Chairman, that’s for sure.

    No offence, but if your manager hadn’t acted dissed the refs and defied the FA so much this season, then Rooney might have got away with the swearing thing – but coming two days after the FA announced a renewal of the respect campaign? Do me a favour, what did you expect to happen?

    P.S. It wasn’t just a case of Rooney sayinng a couple of words that we’re all familiar with, it was the completely psychotic aggressivness that is so offensive to a lot of people.

    Get over it, and to be honest, who would you rather havve on the pitch Rooney (aside from the goals, what did he do against Wet Spam exactly?) or Hernandez and Berbatov?

  19. Costas says:

    That explains the 2nd match on that ban…

  20. EssexRed says:

    Getting a bit sick of the fucking ABU tossers at the FA.

    Any chance we can start a petition asking the top brass at OT to ban all non essential FA employees from matches. I mean, how many freebies do the FA get, taking away seats from real fans?

    So apart from the match officials, MUFC should start telling the FA to fuck off, end of your freeride at OT.

  21. waino68 says:

    Get berba and Hernandez up front-knock the blue shite out.Even if they do knock us out it will always be tainted by the FA giving us a rough ride.As usual.Does this mean that any lip readers now pick up any swear words they pick up will also get A 2 match ban-utter bollocks

  22. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Unbelievable.

  29. byron1970 says:

    I can’t read anymore of this shit or I swear to god I’ll lose my mind. How do they get away with this. Do we not have lawyers who can take this case to the high courts or something. Drag it out all fucking summer and not take it lying down. Can someone get sky to show Essiens tackle on Pennant and ask why is there no fuss made out of it. We might be going mad now but if we’d don’t beat City and Fulham we’re going to be left with nothing but rage. Thanks be to fuck the fa cup semi is only two domestic games away. Can you imagine if Rooney did his celebration in the quarters against Arsenal. He’d be banned for 4 games instead of 2 so that he’d still miss the city game.

  30. NotoriousRedDevil says:

    When will you die fifthcolumblue I long await that day trolling cunt!

  31. eric the king says:

    Fukin cheating bitter cunt. And @ bchilds comment, It’s probably exactly what they want, another reaction from fergie over another unjust stitch up so they can do him for the rest of the season.

  32. Alpha_RS says:

    @Balaji Sivaraman and Slim
    He had a choice and he decided to swear in to the camera. We all know that the FA seem to take a harsher line with United so why do it? Why give them a reason? To say he is only being human is poor reasoning. This is a critical point in the season. He just didn’t have to do that at all.

  33. FletchTHEMAN says:

    5thColubineMonkey.

    David Gill has been on the FA board for about a year I think. During that time there really hasn’t been much change of appoarch or tactics.

    However, in the 3 months that David Berstiein has been on the board?
    He has insured that Wayne Rooney misses the FA Cup semi-final with his “old club” and that the manager is banned from the touch line as well.

    Is there really any question at all about what is going on here?

  34. willierednut says:

    Can’t blame Bernstein really, Rooney has had City’s number in the last few games. He didn’t need to w
    swear into the camera, but a two game ban, come on!!!!!!!!

  35. Drogahnus says:

    Well, FUCK.

  36. eric the king says:

    @ fifthcolmnblue. Yeah, I can’t think of a reason why u wouldn’t want him 2 play against u lot. Oh apart from the goals he regularly puts in against the bitters of course.

  37. jellybean says:

    God this is ridiculous. i don’t know what (fucking what) to say honestly.

    @ fifthcolumnblue – you do make some sensible statements there, but the fact is that our manager was not the only manager to have pissed off the refs this season in the premier league. But has anybody else gotten such a harsh punishment from the FA? Or are players from other teams ever treated especially harshly as a result of what their manager said? No to both.
    And Rooney’s psychotic aggressiveness? Really? This coming from a supporter of a team, who are regularly known to have fist fights in their training ground, and have had total knobheads for players like Barton, Bellamy, De Jong and Balotelli just to name a few. Come on, as I said you sound like a sensible fella, but it’s pretty plain that we’ve have been getting screwed over by the FA a fair bit, and this punishment is over the top, to say the least.

  38. RedLife says:

    fcuk it. I’m going to write an compliant of bias and of no moral standing to the FA and my MP. These people are clearly not impartial and clearly have other motives. I’m going to become a pen pusher, it seems to work for other moaning people. Minorites who complain seem to get their way in this country.

  39. willierednut says:

    One thing we can thank Bernstein for, he’s done Fergie’s team talk for him on cup semi final day. Once again bitter blue, thanks.

  40. dannysoya says:

    The moment they appointed this bastard FA chairman i knew it would kick the United witch hunt into overdrive. How do you appoint a bitter FA chairman and not expect United to be treated unfairly. i was expecting it right from the beginning. It is only making us stronger and i am 100% sure that Fergie will use this to his advantage as has always been the case with the great man. No worries. Ban rooney for life. WON’T MATTER. THE LEAGUE IS OURS WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

  41. Denise Williams says:

    Alpha RS no you are not the only one who thinks Rooney is a fool to himself. Let us be honest what did you expect would happen. The subject of respect was only brought up again on Friday. Rooney would have been better advised to have kept his mouth shut until the respect furore has died down. The worst thing Rooney could have done was to start hurling expletives just one day after everyone has been discussing players behaviour. The truth is the FA had to act as they would have made themselves look pretty pathetic after all the tatk on Friday. I very much doubt whether the FA would take the same actions in a few weeks as we all know how inconsistent they are anyway.

  42. james21 says:

    @fithcolumnblue
    Yeh even with David Gill on the board we have still had ,this season and last season some very harsh decisions. Gerrard got away with murder week in week out last season with his crazy two footed challenges and nothing at all was dished out. John capt leader legend selling his box at wembley on the black market for shear profit NOTHING AT ALL.
    I’m not going to sit here and say Utd don’t get decisions on the pitch because all that swings and roundabouts, Its just for some reason everybody thinks we get preferential treatment and its total bollocks.

    If SAF Has dissed off the ref and FA Why should Rooney pay for it? Ian Holloway, Avram Grant, Arsene Wenger, Alex Mcleash and Harry Redknap to name a few have all dissed off The FA, Its becoming the norm week in week out. All Managers are getting sick of the failings of the FA and their very poor Refs.

    Agressiveness? Rooney showed nothing but Passion, with adrenilin pumping through his veins, show me anyone who wouldn’t have acted the same, someone who had earlier in the held his club to ransom and knew Utd fans are very much split weather we should forgive and forget what he did. Someone who had a very frustrating world cup who always plays and gives 100% for his country. Someone who gets booed every time he touches the ball, someone who in 14 minutes had put his team in front after being 2-0 down. Maybe a couple of your lot could adopt a bit of Passion like that.
    I’m just trying to see it from another point of view rather than defend his antics.

    Can agree about Berbatov and Chicharito but Rooneys shear presence on the field makes other teams defenders think hard and that is worth plenty.

    Two match ban is a shambles you might get a warning or a fine or both off the Police if you swore in public.

  43. Ryandunny says:

    I hope to christ that Fergie rips the Fa to shreds in his press conference.. fucking basterds the lot of um…

    In other news wrote a piece on Hernandez and kissing the badge and hoping to god he won’t turn out like so many modern day footballers

    Well done FA – we’re now more determined. Number 19 will be even sweeter.

  45. james21 says:

    *earlier in the season*
    Sorry. :)

  46. jellybean says:

    Noone would’ve complained had Rooney been fined, but the 2 game fine is only to ensure Rooney wont be playing against the bitters. He’s always bangin goals in against them. I’m sure Fergie will stress upon this, and the fact that the team needs to do it for Rooney. We have the players to beat them without him, as great as it would have been to have Rooney. But now we have a pissed off manager, and other players who happen to love scoring against City. Somehow having Berba, Chico and Owen against those cunts does not worry me in the least. They can try to stop us all they want. I am sure now, after this ridiculous punishment, we will win this game.

  47. veek says:

    i came on this thread to suggest that Rooney should retire from england, but i see a couple of others have already beat me to the punch

  48. willierednut says:

    There’s me thinking, French connection was a film.

  49. brisbanefan says:

    Why don’t the FA do something positive to help the game in Engalnd instead of being so negative.
    What they should be doing:
    1) Bringing the UEFA Fair Play Financial Rules into the EPL.
    2) Banning overseas ownership of PL clubs and giving current overseas 3 years to sell up
    3) Introducing a 5th official, complete with TV screens, sat in the stands and who can adjudicate on penalty decisions, red cards etc. The refs role could then be keeping the game flowing for the benefit of the fans.

    The FA could be doing so much to help the game but as usual they’ve got their head up their a*ses.

  50. DAVE RED says:

    After three days of non stop talking about it on Talkshite,the BBC and all the newspapers,
    did anyone expect anything less than a FA charge ? the Daily Mail will be congratulating
    itself tonight that Wayne has got his ban.

    Fergie will do what he always does at times like these, he will circle the wagons,announce
    to the players that all and sundry are out to get United, and they will have all the
    motivation they need for the rest of the season.

    Think Eric, Rio, Evra, for gods sake Wayne once got a three match ban for being sent off in the Amsterdam tounament, upheld by the FA.

    I sometimes think i am getting paranoid thinking about the injustices handed down to United over the years, but there again im not, i really believe there is an agenda out to prevent us suceeding again this season.

  51. nani4ever says:

    Well well you don’t say cant say i didn’t see this coming, with all the london press destroyed about their bottlers and russians falling they pressed really hard and the frivolous association obliged, and even more conclusive the chairman is a city fan u couldn’t make this up its so clearly biased the that ray charles saw it.

  52. MG says:

    I also stress again since no one picked it out first time around:

    Blatter that fat fuck is in the country to ask for Englands help in securing his nomination for President of Fucking Idiots Fuck Idiots

    Lovely way to side step that story – England votes Blatter no matter what Blatter does to England

    I wonder if the chairman of the FA will bend down on his knees for Blatter… Same fucking ilk…

  57. thedonmassawe says:

    I just came from trying to convince a buddy of mine how the media is out to get United I even went as far as pointing out how no one (in the media) seemed to care about just how great the win against WHUFC was and just how great of an achievement it was considering it was the second time we have done it this season or the moral lesson that can be learned by, the same kids we are so dutiful trying to shelter and teach them about never giving up in life. Oh! no thats all is not important anymore because Rooney swore. By no means do I commend what Rooney did, it was wrong, but for crying out loud people who in this universe can honestly say they can not relate to that moment he had. The feeling of being put down so much and just frustrated and finally having the chance to tell someone to FUCK OFF! The sad part is this would all be so much more tolerable and fitting had it been someone else other than Rooney/A United player. The way I see it is they can do all they want and it wont mean squat because we are UNITED and we do whatever we want. So, What? Fucking What? What?

YOU GAVE SOMEONE 3 YELLOW CARDS AT A WORLD CUP GAME YOU FUCKING IDIOT. stevie wonder would have done a better job.Your views don’t count for SHIT. if you’re so tough why don’t you come back and ref again and see if you’ll come out of OT alive you fat old gimp. Also i must state that Swearing is not good but what i am pissed off with is the fact that Wayne rooney nowhere near being the first player to ever swear on a football pitch. If you had been banning them before then it would have been perfect. Trying to start with Wayne Rooney clearly shows your bias. so United as one family says to the world with one voice:
    WHAT??? FUCKING WHAT????

  63. partylikeits1999 says:

    who decides the punishment in these cases? 2 match ban? why 2 why not 1? where does it say that if you swear into a camera you get a ban, why is it not just a fine…………..the whole thing stinks, why does he get banned from united games? why not ban him from 2 england games???? i really think united should bring in some big wig lawyer and fight this all the way……………theres worse incidents that have happened recently that have gone unpunished……..why?

  64. rooneyworldsbest says:

    United,, united, uniitex

  65. Louis says:

    Interesting that the ban was just long enough to include the semi final against city. I guess we should count ourselves lucky that Rooney didnt swear at the cameras months ago, then hed have been out for longer.

  66. Louis says:

    Also, dont think Rooney shouldve appologised at all. Just say that its part of the game and everyone does it. Because of the haphazard way that the FA run things, I dont think they wouldve done anything about it then. But it is a risk.

  67. manutdthebest says:

    Its time for us tell FA to stop victimised Man Utd .. Outrageous charge never existed before.. shameless, power mad, arrogant dick headed FA!

    we should boycott FA, England and their merchandise altogether .. we should demonstrate our feeling on match day and man utd players might alot easier to express theirs too by following our initiative!

  68. parryheid says:

    I think there is a serious problem here,was there an open vote taken and if so what was the majority was it a tied vote and the chairmans casting vote decisive? Same applies with number of games suspension who colluded in the decision to award Two games to the benefit of the chairmans former club I think for the sake of transparency it should be made public otherwise it could smell very fishy to suspicious people of which I am One.

  69. ToneDiez says:

    I agree that it’s ridiculous to ban a player for 2 matches after something as simple as cursing on camera. Also, everyone notices how the FA is usually pretty unforgiving to our beloved club for any slight infraction. Rooney really needs to learn how tl behave like an adult and a professional. He is the face of English football and is a world icon, yet has had the worst year of his life as far as the media and personal privacy goes. However, I believe that Wayne had it coming. No where do I see any of our faithful bringing up the fact that the FA let Rooney go without even a slap on the wrist after his HORRIFIC elbow to McCarthy’s face not too long ago. The FA even took a lot of heat from FIFA for not punishing Rooney for it. Let’s not forget all his little silly swipes and kicks out at other players over the past few months. His temper has been out of hand this season, granted he has a lot going on in his life, but grow the f**k up mate and be a professional on the pitch at least!! This may just be the FA’s way of saying enough is enough and he needs some rearing. Just my thoughts as a fairplay football enthusiast and United supporter.

  70. gazzer says:

    I don’t think we should get too worked up about this.
    We already know that the FA is full of corrupt and foolish people, as is UEFA and FIFA.
    In the long run, none of these people can stop United from winning things.
    Sure, they can hurt us at the margin, but quality will always shine through.

    Also, Rooney has it in his hands to hand them the biggest “Fuck you” of the lot by simply retiring from England. He could have done it in the past when they gave him that ban for a red card in a pre-season friendly. He didn’t do it then and he won’t do it now, so we should accept the fact that he is at peace with it.

  71. gazzer says:

    One other thing – I see that Harry Rednapp thinks Rooney was a foolish boy for cursing on camera.
    I thought back to that funny youtube video of Harry being hit by a ball kicked by one of his players while being interviewed during a training session. He almost became unhinged, at one point saying “No wonder he’s in the FACKING reserves!!”
    And Harry was under no pressure at all………

    @parryheid. the vote was probably unanimous considering how much they all hate United and Rooney. Also with the fat cunt Bernstein present they couldn’t have had the balls to mess up his plan or else they risked internal sanctions. That is how the F.A is now run my friend. Communist gung-ho style. SMH. An embarassment to British football. When your F.A cannot does not have a mind of its own. Football in general will be at risk. This is also bad for the rest of the lge cuz the next time someone swears in a lge game ( i.e NEXT MATCHDAY IN ALL THE MATCHES). The F.A will have to charge hundreds of players. Oh wait. they WON’T charge ANYONE that isn’t a United player even if they walked up to the fat cunt Bernstein and called him a gimp in public ( btw he is actually a gimp). That is the sorry state of affairs that British football is in. That is a testament to how bad England would be if a Bitter or an ABU ran your country. it’d be a literal shitfest.

    Rooney Should refuse to play for england

  83. Kevin says:

    I think this sets a precedent the FA does not realize it is setting. The punishment of a two game suspension is all done in retrospect and goes against most things the FA adds suspensions on for since it was not punished by the match official. I can’t remember a past example of the FA suspending a player the referee didn’t caution or even speak to Rooney about it.

    They could argue that the referee didn’t see the incident but even if he had what evidence do we have that he would have booked the player? Has he said he would or should have booked him? If not then the FA must now continue to book players for crude language and if you can do that with replay than you can also punish mistimed tackles that went unpunished during the game. Makes a lot more sense to make the game safer than “cleaner.”

  84. Torontored says:

    The fucking hypocrisy of the FA – Gerrard and countless other twats swear – our lad gets done

    NOW LISTEN ALL YOU BIASED ARESENAL/LIVERPOOL /CHELSEA CUNTS _ WE WILL OVERCOME THIS _ WE WILL LIFT #19 – THEN THE FUCKING LOT OF YOU CAN KISS MY WELL TONED RED ASS

    UNITED 194 – 2011

  85. Torontored says:

    Collyhurst Red just copped your line on “IF” – and aye the man Kipling puts that into perspective. So Rooney should have buttoned it – and the Fa have bolloxed it by their sheer biased, obvious hatred of UNITED.

    Well there are FA’s in every country, none as spiteful as the lot in “that green and pleasent land called England” (from which I fled years back)- BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE UNITED!!!! OH YES WE WILL OVERCOME – JUST FUCKING WATCH US

    BTW – Harvey Keitel does a brilliant reading of the poem on youtube

    UNITED 194 -2011

  86. Lovin' United says:

    Fcuk this! You all should be banned from ROM for swearing!

  87. virgopq says:

    The FA is made up of dickheads!. Redknapp is freakin’ rubbish!. He obviously does not know the emotion tt comes wz winnin’, let alone overturnin’ a 2 goal deficit!. He’s a complete loser!. He utters rubbish coz he’s been livin’ his whole life a loser!. I mean, what has he won tt’s worth any mention at all???!!!. Fuckin’ dickhead!. As for Shitty . . . what can I say abt them??? . . . . . perpetual losers!!!.

  88. hemanv2 says:

    I don’t know if it’s already mentioned or not, but listened to the paddy crerand show on mutv

    what actually happened was cameraman wanted rooney to kiss the camera like all other fucking tossers, mind the language please, and rooney responded to that but obviously its rooney’s fault

    WHAT! FUCKING WHAT!!!

  89. he's not the messiah says:

    corruption in the UK? nevah

  90. he's not the messiah says:

    conflict of interests? not with the level of professionalism in UK sport, nevah

    must be we’re all deluded, not them

  91. missingOTnowiminoz says:

    they should change their name to FAAU football association anti UTD, at least theh truth would be out there then. yes Rooney shouldn’t of given them a decision considering the games we’ve got coming up. what UTD shouold do now is send every video of every player that swears in a game and demand they are banned for 2 matches and if they don’t sue the FA for harrassment!!!!

  92. giggs11gerrard0 says:

    It is unbelievable that Rooney has been given a ban, i think a fine would have been just as end of teh day it was stupid what Rooney did but the FA should have common sense! What have the FA based this on? Gerrard attacked a man with his friends in a club and did anything happen – No! Terry shagged his team mates bird as is allowed to be England captain, Babel posts Howard Webb in a United kit, does anything happen does it fuck.

    The FA are still seething on SAF and his additional comments on Scudamore and have punished us simple as.

  93. ahmad yunus says:

    It is was a calculated attempt by FA to insure that we lost out in both premier league and FA cup

  94. markynorbs says:

    WHAT THE FCUK?

    My blood is boiling. WHAT A CNUT!!!!

  95. parryheid says:

    Dannysoya.

    It may well have been unanimous but I doubt it as David Gill is reputed to be a council member,but regardless I would like to know the number entitled to vote and the percentage who did vote.In fact all the information I would be given in an election,I also want confirmation it was not some ones own personal agenda that was being handed down.Fair and Just punishment for the offender not the Club who had no imput into events.

  96. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Its so blatantly obvious this move is an attempt to halt our title charge. They think we’ll be doomed without Rooney for 2 games, yes its a loss, but we have been coping without him before, and we’ll do it now. And this can be a blessing. We can put Rooney full blast for both the Champions League games.

  97. CedarsDevil says:

    Has the best match of the season so far and the FA reward him with punishment for using the F word…

    Go on Rooney, quit the England set up

  98. parryheid says:

    While we’re at it could the disciplinary chairman be pulling the strings regarding the City doper punishment Has he kicked it into the long grass.See what I mean by fair as a former chairman of City he has to be seen to be impartial

  99. RJ says:

    Shame there’s no Obsudaman for the FA haha…..

  100. mattbw7 says:

    Im going to have a look at Bluemoon and see what the bitters are saying, I’ll bet they’re a wanking themselves silly.

  101. mattbw7 says:

    It was the usual bollocks over at bluemoon, I cant even be arsed providing a link it was the banal, more funt to come if Rooney gets the ban reduced to 1 game and plays in the semi.

  102. Buryred says:

    Fcuking joke, bernstein’s a cunt

  103. RJ says:

    @mattbw7
    Plays in the semi and scores you mean?

  104. Collyhurst Red says:

    I was spending my time in the doldrums
    I was caught in the cauldron of hate
    I felt persecuted and paralyzed
    I thought that everything else would just wait

    While you are wasting your time on your enemies
    Engulfed in a fever of spite
    Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades
    Like shadows into the night

    So I open my door to my enemies
    And I ask could we wipe the slate clean
    But they tell me to please go fuck myself
    You know you just can’t win

    FO FA!

  105. gazmassie says:

    United should start by saying the League 1 and 2 Playoffs go fuck themselves and refuse any Ingerlund games at OT.

    I would love to see Rooney quit international football but thats a decision only he can make and seeing as he always rocks up for the national team no matter what the shitty fixture, i dont think he will.

    We should protest against the FA en mass at Wembley next week. T-shirts, banners, chants. Really ram home our feeling for the most corrupt organisation on the planet. FUCK THE FA

  106. dannysoya says:

    At least Berba is in the form of his life and so is chicharito. We won’t have any problems whatsoever coping without rooney. Also did u guys get a load of the PFA nominations? how does Nani not go on that list? SMH.

  107. StatesideAussie says:

    dannysoya … thanks for nailing that cunt Graham Poll. I have never forgotten that WC match between Australia and Croatia where that prick gave 3 yellow cards to the same player. In fact, I have a video of it on my hard drive (still one of the nastiest, most dramatic matches I’ve ever seen.) A match so badly refereed that even that arch-cunt Blatter was moved to comment that if Australia had lost he would have pushed for the match to be replayed, and who then sent Poll home in disgrace. Poll’s a cunt. A useless cunt. His reputation is in tatters. It’s a fucking travesty that he’s able to earn money by promoting himself as some sort of fucking expert on football. And it’s an indictment of that horrible rag and every dumb cunt who reads it, that they swallow that pig-swill. Fuck him, fuck them, fuck the lot of them.

  108. NADS says:

    David Bernstein is a biased and disgraceful cunt who only has his old club’s agenda on his mind and needs to be sacked as soon as possible.
