First it was Rafael Benitez, then it was Arsene Wenger, now it’s Luiz Felipe Scolari.
Referring to an incident involving Boro’s Mohamed Shawkey, Scolari had claimed the defender deserved a red card.
“If that was my player, it’s a red card,” said Scolari. “But not for other players. It’s time to change. I need to help my players more than before, as now I know many more things about things in England. All the clubs who come to Stamford Bridge make 20, 50 or 60 fouls and don’t get cards, red cards. Nothing. They only stop the ball, kill the game.”
Actually, opposing teams get a card, on average, for every 7.46 fouls they commit at Stamford Bridge. The Chelsea side commit 10.92 fouls at home before getting a caution. D’oh.
“We don’t have people to pressure the referees,” added Scolari. “My players try to help referees during a game and many times for us is one thing, for the other clubs another. It’s a big problem for us and it has cost us points. Give me the statistics. Have we had any penalties until now?”
Just the one penalty for Chelsea at home this season.
“And the other teams? 10, 12, 15?”
Again, just the one at home, for United, Liverpool and Arsenal. His ‘facts’ are about as dodgy as Benitez’s.
After Anelka has already claimed it is Sir Alex Ferguson who makes the difference between United and Chelsea, Scolari might have helped his sulky forward’s opinion, suggesting dodgy judgement. Is it Gerrard he fears ahead of this weekend’s clash against the dippers? Torres? No, no, it’s goal machine Dirk Kuyt!
“Gerrard? And what about Torres, Riera and Mascherano? That’s like saying my team is all about Lampard,” said Scolari. “Liverpool have fantastic players, the same as us. But the one player I like best you have not even mentioned! Dirk Kuyt is a player who is fantastic. When he was playing in Holland and I was with Portugal (he looks to the heavens), I said ‘Please, don’t play him’.”
With a total of 32 goals in 115 appearances for Liverpool, he’s not the kind of player who has many other managers praying not to start!
Has Fergie put something in their water or what?
Man Utd News 24/7
Well when you see United start to stroll towards the title then all sorts of excuses pop up in your head.
i’ll have what their smokin’!!!, unfuckingbelievable, i’m prayin’ for a 0-0, and us ta take care of the toffees
haha, that made me chuckle. What on earth is he thinking? I find the Dirk Kuyt point most worrying though!
he is talking like a 14 year old kid moaning about fouls and penalties .he hasnt lost it yet but tomorrow after meeting rafa he will
its just mind games for rafa before a match you muppets read into too much
Whatever happens on Sunday, its curtains for both Rafa and Phil at the season’s end. A pity because with both there they’re never going to win the EPL. Could be 4 in a row for UTD next year!
But if both do go in the summer, then their problems really start.
What decent manager would want to manage ‘Pool? They’ve got no money to spend but need to spend a lot to catch UTD.
As for Chelsea, no manager would want to go there – again no money but also no job security. He’d be there 12 months at the most.
I told Big Phil he was a wanker when I met him at Windsor Park in Belfast when Portugal played Northern Ireland in a friendly. He was being rude to some autograph hunters. I wasn’t aggressive or anything, just said in a rather matter-of-fact and off hand manner ‘You’re a wanker’. He just looked at me in a slightly concerned and confused way before walking away. Before anyone points this out, I realise this was neither big nor indeed clever. But it was surprisingly enjoyable. It still warms my heart to think about it now. Especially now that he manages the rentboys.
I just felt like sharing that.
P.S. I also once (probably about 12 years ago) told the late Tory racist Enoch Powell that he was a wanker in the same kind of way. His limo pulled up at some lights while I was waiting to cross the road. His window was wound down as he looked out. He gave me a very similar confused look. I might start a collection.
Both true stories.
WTF is going on? This will end up making things easier for us… I’m picturing ManUs 20th title, and a room for 3 in a mental institution.
Zee fachts, statics 10.96 ! lyees all off it . Dick Kite is dutch no? su mus b goood. I confuzed maybee fergie fault i ly down no !
The man who was set to take the Premier league by storm is turning out to be a clueless clown. These excuses are hilarious. Never thought the pressure would get to them all this early in the season. We are still in January!
Nice oneJohnpanda but you should have punched the rentboy cunt.
wiyru……. that’s class mate!!!!
Another fact for the crazy threesome, vidas is can’t play… If it were JT blatter and his best pal platini would be right now at his house apologysing for the fuss.
these guys are crazy. seems they blame everything just to put their arse in safe. …..because the ref cheats…bla bla bla
Sorry but
“Actually, opposing teams get a card, on average, for every 7.46 fouls they commit at Stamford Bridge. The Chelsea side commit 10.92 fouls at home before getting a caution. D’oh.”
doesn’t mean anything, maybe Chelsea’s fouls aren’t that bad.
I almost felt Scolari was being a bit harshly treated by the British press following Chelsea’s poor form, but after these comments fuck him!
I did say almost felt sorry for him by the way
so yea fuck him and them fucking rent boys! And fuck Ray Wilkins aswel, boring twat!
“We don’t have people to pressure the referees,” added Scolari. “My players try to help referees during a game and many times for us is one thing, for the other clubs another.
is he having a fucking laugh?!
if we win the title this year, i reckon it could be the most enjoyable to watch back, seeing everyone losing the plot. by the way, i dreamt united won the european cup last night 3 nil. but then they all jumped in a river. hope the first part comes true!
This is the guy who is supposed to take Chelsea to the next level. I wonder what those so called experts who tipped Chelsea to win the title are thinking now.
Scolari must be brain dead. For how on earth he ever got those stats and confuse the living hell out of everyone is beyond my comprehension. As for kuyt or shall i say shuyt how the fuck can this mental prick pray to the heavens that cruyp does not play. Oh shit i forgot! He’s a wanker.
How I love this forum for us Reds! You people just make me smile and laugh so much! I just thank fuck that I was born and bred in Swinton/Salford (Giggsy’s neck of the woods! Went to the same school! Different times tho!) and so I was indoctrinated into the Red Army at an early age! Thank fuck! Must be shit not to support the Reds! We have the best of everything! Players, team, manager, ground, trophy cabinet, and most of all, BEST FANS/SUPPORTERS! Funny as! 1 big brotherhood! Keep the faith!
