Well ,not content with cheating to win a penalty in the first game of the season against Sheff U. He,s at it again.

I rated C. Ronaldo as the premierships no. 1 cheat ,,,but at looking at the reply of his latest farce its plain to see that the guy has no shame!

Incidently,,it probably was a penalty as Crouch got his head kicked in.

What do you mean?

I know I spelt the Gits name wrong also....

If you,re referring to the Thai walk out,,prehaps Sheff U could do the same during the game?

[ThaiPauly]

I honestly do not think that he was looking for a penalty in the first game...he did his best to stay on his feet which he did.

Can't say the same about yesterday though!

Second penalty was clearly a penalty - there was contact.

The first one, Gerrard overdid the fall, was planning to do it, but the defender made it so so easy for him. The ref had warned him and was watching and he still held on. From the Grauniad report

"Replays suggested the intent was minimal as well as the contact and that Gerrard had used his experience to outwit a naive defender."

That alone was worth the 30 points he scored in my fantasy league. (last minute change)

WHY is that the only 1 you know?

Certainly not but, I'd be very suprised if you knew anymore.

Oh, apart from the one you nicked off Celtic.

Give me a break. Sheffield United were way outclassed. From the outset they did nothing positive, and were just trying to hold, shove, kick, tug, and rough their way through the match. They had no chance with their cowardly tactics. The 2nd penalty was clear. Gerrard was clear on goal and the defender grabbed his shoulder from behind firmly, and also a slow replay showed Gerrard probably fell because the defender clipped his foot and caused him to fall. The first one Gerrard was smart, and the defender was stupid. Even if he didn't fall down, which he didn't necessarily need to do, the defender had a clear arm around his front and holding on to the other side of his body. The referree was right there. Clear incompetence and surely deserved a penalty. It wouldn't have been one if the defender had just played honestly, but Sheffield clearly wasn't able to play that way on this day.

You're ridiculous. Sheffield had no chance on this day. I've seen them play much better. 4 goals to nil? How could anyone complain about the moronic defenders not even attempting to hide their tactics? They have nobody to blaim but themselves.

It seems quite obvious, even to neutral observers. I don't know what your objection is, really.

A sad time it is when a football pro with the stance of the England captain ,has to resort to a tactic off a Brookside episode, rather than the skill of the football star he is,to allow his side in front. Sheff U were totally out classed in the game,no question.

The word <deleted> springs to mind.

I,d like to thank Man U for seeing off Liverpool.

It was a great game also,,,sad to see Scholes sent off.

Sorry to see the state of Crouch,s black eye

Liverpool V Utd Good second half.

Liverpool were all over Utd - the shots on goal and corner tally say it all. Liverpool defended well too -until that final free kick.

It hurts as a Red scouser to say it, but ........

It's got to be Utd for the premiership. They didn't play particulary well and still managed to nick a goal - that's what championship winning sides do.

[Jimjim]

Thank you, Finnan, for giving away that free kick.

Spot, you're spot on (feel free to laugh). Man U. will have the title and deserve it. Give credit where it's due.

Clearly soihok and redrus are biased against Liverpool, so no use using reason. Ronaldo anyone? He'll dive in a 1 mph breeze. To quote, "The word <deleted> springs to mind". Hmmmmmmmm, eat that.

Actually, I quite enjoy watching Ronaldo except for when he dives and holds his face. Every player will use a little simulation to their advantage every now and then.

I still say the first penalty is deserved. The defender grabs Gerrard fully around the front of the body knowing the referre is two feet away and knowing the referee has his eyes directly on him. Like I said, you can't blame Gerrard, blame the ###### defender. Or better yet, blame the referre, he's the one who called the penalty. Ronaldo, Rooney, and Scholes lose their heads all the time. It's just the competitiveness of the game.

I just don't see how this penalty started this thread in the first place. There are thousands of worse penalties that have been given recently.

Yes, redrus, real people do speak that way. I didn't get the memo that certain words in the language are not to be used. I guess I'm not cool like you. Perhaps you could come take a look at my closet and inform me of the latest fashion so I don't look like an idiot in public.

soihok, At least I don't highlight text of your post and write, "septic alert." For goodness' sakes, grow up.

The first hint in that match that Sheffield was going to attempt and play German style was when one of the players took out Riise at the corner without even attempting at the ball.

Anyway, who really cares about any of this?

It does doesn't it.

You....!

I'm not bias against Liverpool, on match days I hate them, as they do me. With a venom that is incomprehensible to outsiders.

Get over yourself, not literally of-course....!

redrus

[Jimjim]

German style in brute force, not in quality.

And they didn't even do that very effectively.
