disgusting result. 2-2.
sad,
sad,
alot of things to improve on.
defence for one need a good slap across their fat money-faces.
Opening 4 mins already got 2 good chance. Hotcakes nearly score in 20 seconds kick off
lucky not webb if not no penalty...yellow card for attempting cheat...:thumbsd:Lucky got the penalty if not sure blame phil dowd. :bsmilie:
the difference was the match official...Jose Gomez,in Spain, makes this interesting point. "To all Man U. fans and pundits who claimed Steven Gerrard's sending-off last week was fair... Was Rafael's yellow in the 27th minute fair as well?"
Tony, in Ontario, makes a similar point. "Well, well, well, last week Gerrard was sent off for a similar tackle to Rafael's who only gets booked. Please advise what the difference is two feet off the ground, studs showing, player injured.....total intent yet stays on...."

Sir Alex Ferguson is planning to rest his star performer Howard Webb to
prevent 'a needless injury' after his tireless work in Saturday's FA Cup
victory over Liverpool . Webb awarded his own side a penalty, but he
stood aside to allow a team mate to take it.
Mr Webb who secured his team's passage into the 4th round of the FA cup
is said to be 'exhausted' following his Herculean efforts in providing
his side with the winning goal by awarding them a 'completely deserved'
penalty after Liverpool's Daniel Agger 'viciously kicked Berbatov in the
head with a knife'.
Man United's 12th man Howard Webb, whose dressing room locker is right
next to Rio Ferdinand's, said: "Yeah, it's a massive win for the me and
the lads. The gaffer told us all in his pre-match talk to get in their
faces, and work hard for each other. He reminded me to wait at least an
hour before giving us a penalty or it could look suss, but I was just
too excited and went for it a few seconds after I blew the starting
whistle, however, I did wait a little longer than usual to send Stevie G
off, to make up for it.
"I was thinking about taking the penalty myself, but then thought I
should let one of the other lads take the glory for a change. It's a
team sport after all, and I get embarrassed when people tell me I
single-handedly win all the games I get picked to play in."
However, his boss, Alex Ferguson is concerned that if he continues
playing his star man in every game he'll pick up a serious injury or may
get exhausted towards the business end of the season.
"Howard's a great servant to the club, " said Sir Alex. "And he's a real
role model for the younger lads. He's always first on the training pitch
in the morning and the last to leave. He practices pointing at the spot,
and sending opponents off for hours on end. But I fear if he carries on
at the same intensity he'll pick up an injury that could see him out for
months.
"And that's a risk we can't take. He's just too important for us, his
ratio of games played to penalties given is almost one per match, which
are amazing stats."
Manchester United's club shop has just released its sales figures which
indicate that 'Howard Webb' is now the most requested name on the back
of their replica shirts, and that if his popularity grows they may be
forced to rename the Stretford End in his honour by changing it to the
'Massive-Bell End', or MBE for short.
