Manchester City vs Manchester United

What is it about bloody city?!
I've never got over the day I was dragged to Highbury by some mates back in around 1990 and at the end of the Arse game (can't remember who they were playing)the City v United result was broadcast over the tannoy - 5 -1 ffs. The Gooner fans loved it of course - particularly as we had just bought a couple of new players.
I took a fair amount of pisstake that day...
 
hmmmm bennett needs to be investigated, im certain there'll be a backlash from utd after this
 
So Barton can cleat Rooney and get nothing. Ronaldo goes in studs high and gets sent off (and put his lead foot down before coming near Cole). Interesting.

seriously - what does he bring to the team?

He's a talented midfield we'll be celebrating in a few years. The problem he has is that he doesn't have an experienced midfielder besides.

Add to that that some of the senior players are performing way below their normal performances eg Giggs.
 
Without a doubt, a cnut of the highest order Bennett is, a fecking cheat!

We ain't helping ourselves admittedly, but the bloke is a cnut.

Didn't even touch the player there though, we'll be hearing from Fergie on this...
I guess the ref will say something along the lines of 'malicious intent' but wtf, the ref is a shithead
 
I'd take the player's off the pitch now, but I just say that every time we're losing and I don't like the referee's call...
 
Seems to me that the referee came with an agenda.........
 
I would love to know why Halsey was replaced by Bennett in the first place
 
fecking hell, how can we compete with a shit decision like that? I mean we're playing poorly anyway but that is just a pathetic piece of refereeing.
 
what the hell Bennett:nono:

Dont be silly jas

Funny how well we all know Steve Bennett.

I am absolutely ready to slaughter someone.

I only got more angry when David fecking Pleat says "maybe Ronaldo wouldn't have been sent off if not for the 'cleverness' of the City player".
 
Someone let Smith know it's OK to take out the ref with one of those tackles, we're not going to win this anyway...
 
i'll be mightily surprise if bennett doesn't get what he deserves after this match, just as the commentators were discussing utd's lack of support from the ref, he goes and does something like that. he does seem the petty kind, unfortunately.

Pleat is a nonce.

He said that? Cleverness, hey?

If Ronaldo had been the 'clever' one, no doubt the commentators would be begging for a three match ban for the 'known diver', and he would have been given a yellow.

Yeah, that comment pissed me off as well
