11/12 Premier League thread

[Kobe]

^What a game indeed.

 

[Kobe]

United vs Arsenal in the late 90, early 2ks was an awesome rivalry.

Nowadays its just meh.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

^Yeah its not a battle like it used to be. I'm always confident against Arsenal now.

 

[Flipmo]

Looks intentional to me.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Yeah it was. Should be banned for as many games as Pepe will get. (5+)

Howard Webb has gone downhill since the World Cup.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

All the refs have. Seriously, worst refs ever are in the Premiership.

 

[Pittsey]

Manchester City's Mario Balotelli has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association following an incident against Tottenham on Sunday.

The 21-year-old's injury-time penalty gave City a 3-2 win, but earlier he appeared to stamp on Scott Parker.
Following a dismissal earlier this season Balotelli faces a four-match ban, but any unsuccessful appeal could result in a longer suspension.

Joleon Lescott will not be punished after a clash with Younes Kaboul.

Lescott caught Kaboul in the face with his forearm in a separate incident at the Etihad Stadium.

Balotelli, who has until 1800 GMT on Wednesday to respond to the charge, came on as a 65th-minute substitute against Spurs.
He was booked for a foul on Benoit Assou-Ekotto, but after escaping punishment from referee Howard Webb following his clash with Parker, the striker was fouled by Ledley King in the final minute of added time and converted the resulting penalty.

If he accepts his charge, Balotelli will miss Wednesday's Carling Cup semi-final second leg against Liverpool at Anfield.
However, should the Italian international decide to appeal he will be available for that tie, with a hearing likely to take place later this week.

The normal punishment for violent conduct is a three-match suspension but Balotelli was sent-off in the league match at Liverpool in November and would incur an additional one-game ban.

More to follow.

Howard Webb has gone downhill since the World Cup.

he embarassed himself in the world cup final.

Yeah. That was the start.

"No income tax, no VAT,
No premiership points from Man City,
in the dock, face so pale,
Harry Redknapp's going to jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaail."

 

[Pittsey]

I will be sad if Harry gets put away. They go mad over 30k or whatever he owed. Yet you can "buy" your way out of paying tax. *cough* Vodafone*cough*

Liverpool vs United was quite a game.

I've always vouched for Da Gea but that was just a bad game from him. Evra dozed off as well when it mattered most.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Carroll was offside when the goal kick was taken though I think? Still, not overly fussed, I never got the whole 'prestige' of the FA cup like they go on about. Probably the best Man Utd have played at Anfield for years though, even when we won 1-0 twice in a row Liverpool were the better side.

 

[Kobe]

I didn't get to see Carroll's position then, I kept looking at how Evra was out of position.

As for the prestige, its likely due to clubs having their priorities elsewhere. However, even through that I think the FA Cup has been beyond United for a while now. Even when they lifted it in 2006, it was quite an empty season anyway.

Liverpool won it in 2006

 

[Kobe]

2004.

Oh please shoot me?

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

I only care about the champions league and the league. Maybe it's wrong to disregard the FA cup but it's just seems to me the so called magic has gone.

A Liverpool fan has been caught making racist gestures to evra. Liverpool wanted to swap Carroll for Tevez apparently also.

Man Utd fans were chanting about Hillsborough

A journalist mentioned it in todays paper. so yea unfortunately there are alot some right scumbags in the support for both teams. i wish the media wouldnt be so biased about their reporting of such incidents.

Would you swap Carroll for Tevez?
