Midweek games 3/4 March 2009

The hoo-ha over that "challenge" was pathetic. It was nothing. To see Ferguson going ape**** like that really sums the horrible cunt up. **** off United, the lot of you.

The West ham game was carnage, the ref completely lost control of the game. Cattermole was sent off for what was a horrific, but quite amusing, tackle on Parker, but he had been properly done only minutes before by Lucas Neil, who was given a yellow for a clear red card offense. Had Neil been sent off, Cattermole probably wouldn't have been so aggressive and Parker wouldln't have been at risk of injury. On top of that, Parker should have walked. I disagree with the MOTD analysis of Carlton Cole's sending off, it was justified. West ham should have ended the game with 8 men and Wigan 10.

Another win handed to United on a ****ing plate. Shambolic Taylor.

Hardly. Newcastle's goal came from a VDS error and Newcastle gave it a really good go. No rolling over like the last few manc games.

Taking aside our personal feelings about those involved, you cant really thrust your forearm into the side of somone's head, can you?

Should've been a red IMO.

Hardly having a shot in the last 30 minutes doesn't represent "having a really good go" to me. United strolled to victory.

Looked to me like an arm - a very soft arm - around the neck. Was just about a yellow IMO. He didn't whack him, it can't possibly have hurt in the slightest. He just pulled him down. Of course that greasy cunt reacted like he'd been shot in the face.

Hmm, it looked like a forearm to the side of the face to me - fairly forceful, but he didnt put everything behind it by any means.

It doesnt have to hurt to be a red card offence, surely if you raise your arms deliberately, you have to go.

No arguments about Ronaldo's pathetic reaction.

Yeah, but it was Newcastle. For most of the match, Martins in particular was causing them a lot of problems.

@ "at least I am not ugly"

Although needless to say that Scum players had the last laugh, what with Taylor's brilliant defending for the winning goal.

Does anyone have a link to a video of Taylor's "challenge" on Ronaldo?

I must say that Taylor's 'comeback' made me laugh.

If he had been more concerned with what happened on thepitch and less with what he sees in the mirror he might actually managed to actually do some y'know, defending. (Memo to Taylor from mirror, mirror on the wall: That's what you're paid for)

Why Aston Villa lost vs Manchester City

Martin O’Neill takes his players to the Science Museum

The Spoiler, March 5th 2009



We all know that the biggest brain in the Premier League - and possibly in western civilisation - belongs to Arsene Wenger. Aston Villa boss Martin O’Neill, however, comes in at a close second in the cranium stakes: he never completed his degree in criminology, but can often be found sitting in on high profile murder trials to feed his fascination with sociology and the criminal mind.

Keen to encourage his squad to embark on cultured pursuits in their free time, the Villa boss organised a compulsory field trip to the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry, prior to yesterday’s match at Eastlands. A witness says:

“It was hilarious - O’Neill led from the front like a teacher on a school trip. He was in his element, sharing his wisdom.”

After being bored out of their tiny minds with facts about steam trains and textiles, the team asked to visit the Coronation Street Studios. O’Neill, acquiesced to the request, at which point the players were said to be “much happier”.
