Football (Soccer)

well that was a pretty shitty way to go out of a competition.

yeah carrick would be the other one. maicon can defend fine, have you watched inter this season?

Yes. He's a typical Brazilian fullback. Great attacker, decent defender. Sagna is excellent at both.

Carrick is the other one? 4, then 2 then 1. Man Utd's DMs are nuclear. At least they'll never divide all the way to zero.

i said he was nothing special because i think hes just that, nothing special. when ive seen him play this season thats all that ive seen, maybe im just missing his great performances.

He's played great every game bar a couple.

I'd venture Johnson and Brown as players who have made an equal contribution to their team. Also, those fellas (including Sagna) are only in the reckoning because Hutton has played most of the season up in Scotland. Since he's been in England, he's kicked Sagna's bottom.

You're on fire with these.

Why is it Whinger always signs irritating players? Arsenal's team make-up is like a bunch of Gary Nevilles mixed with a sprinkling of Robbie Savage, personality-wise. I'd say they're all looking for a strong father figure, but they ended up with a moany housewife dressed-up like an owl.

I don't find them irritating, bar Eboue sometimes. I find Rooney irritating for being a fat hooligan, and Bale and Dawson for looking like Wheelchairers.

Probably as irrational, though. Except the Rooney one.

What position does everyone here think Ronaldo plays? I'm arguing with someone who says he's a midfielder, but I consider him a forward.

Lehman obviously is a dick. Gallas throws tantrums, Eboue's a shithead, Fabregas is like spoilt kid, Flamini fancies himself as a hardman, Hleb looks like sourpuss, van Persie is a stroppy former-rape suspect and then there's the Bendtner/Adebayor double-act.

Nice bunch.

He's a forward. Just as Henry started central and drifted out, Ronaldo does the opposite.

Except Henry got almost as many assists as goals. Ronaldo has 2 assists, which is further proof that he is a forward. He doesn't do any midfield work.

(To Rocas, not the Roboplege above).

That Man United v Portsmouth game was amazing.

So many chances and then one long ball from James, red card, penalty and Man U are out. Football is a funny game, and to go back on the Nani v Hleb comparison, how many balls did Nani loose whilst faffing about with the ball.?

Fergie better never criticise Wenger ever again, for moaning.

Let's see how many fans pick Fergie up, cos everyone dives on Wenger when he says something.

"I think this game was decided when Ronaldo's penalty was refused" barked Ferguson after the game.

Seriously? An incident in the seventh minute decided the game?

Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo should have been given a penalty for Sylvain Distin's bodycheck, but even without that penalty United should have been a long distance clear of their limited opponents.

Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez combined to make a horrible mess of a virtual open goal in the first half, Michael Carrick did similar with an actual open goal in the second, while Patrice Evra bafflingly tried to pass when clear on goal late on.

Portsmouth on the other hand, mustered just two shots on goal in the entire game, and one of those was the penalty. By the time Tomas Kuszczak was sent-off, United should have been at least two or three goals up.

Martin Atkinson had a poor game, but he was not 'on Portsmouth's side'.

Part of Ferguson's whine was about Atkinson's timekeeping, which was curious given that an extra minute was played at the end of the game to the four signalled while United chased the win.

Ferguson went on to complain that United's players were not getting enough protection from dangerous challenges, spectacularly failing to note that the only really dangerous challenge of the game came from Rooney, when he launched himself at Niko Krancjar. The fact that he barely made contact is beside the point - if the roles were reversed then Ferguson would have screamed bloody murder. Well, even more so.

Presumably he was referring to the fouls on Ronaldo when he said he agreed with Arsene Wenger that "someone's going to get a serious injury in our game."

Perhaps someone should point out that Wenger, however unwise and hasty his statements about Martin Taylor were a couple of weeks ago, was talking after Eduardo's leg had just been snapped in two, not after one of his players had been pushed over.

Some managers think its their god given right to win all the time, and if they don´t its the refs fault.

Man United should have scored at least 3 sitters, and as the saying goes "if you don´t take your chances your opponent will"

man united were just unlucky and portsmouth very lucky in my opinion.

so am i the only one who thinks cardiff will win the FA cup?

Aha, but I'm not passing myself off as a journalist.

We may not have many points, but we've got a trophy - which will be more than Arsenal can say at the end of ANOTHER barren season. Whinger, time to go?

Your opponents will score own-goals? Bit unrealistic.

They may, they may not. There's a good chance, but I'm not saying it WILL, cos anything can happen.

You do realise that if Arsenal end up winning one of the two major competitions they are in, you and everyone else will look extremely mug, right?

😄 we're going to wembley! cardiff till i die i know i am i show i am im cardiff till i die

dropping points at wigan? my my my...

And only a day after Man Utd took a step closer to the Treble they had already won, like the league they have already won.

That didn't happen, Vic.

They got spenged out by Portsmouth and wasted multiple chances, including sheer open goals by that Carrick guy, the one who's allegedly better than Fla...oh. I get it now.

At least we can all be happy we don't support West Ham Utd, who everyone has beaten 4-0. Except Manche...oops.

Still, Man Utd have Derby next. Three guaranteed points in the bag, taking them to a whopping 67 points. That's a devestating one point lead.

There, that should be enough pegs knocked down.

hey, id take going out of the fa cup to arsenal dropping 6 points from 3 games any day of the week. now all we have to do is get through bolton (who have beaten us already this season) and we'll be back where we belong.

what do you guys think about the semi finals being played at wembley? im gonna have to agree with fergie on this one and say its a bad move.
