0-5

That was easy. And the players from WBA helped us a lot for being more focused on the referee than on the ball.

it's rather hard when that idiot has it in for your team, how he is a premier league ref i don't know. I wouldn't even have him in charge of an under 7s match!

The "sending off" was a pretty standard 50-50 with one playing being slightly late, yellow card at worst :/

I agree the sending off was 50/50, it didn't deserve a red. and the ref was VERY card happy all nite, he'd give a yellow for sneezin

But that doesn't take away the absolute trubbing WBA got from a revitalised united side. Giggs has shown he's still the don in midfield, im glad he's gettin a new contract

You abviously haven't seen the same match...

Robinson diserved his red card, his challenge was really dangerous. He cleary had the intention to hurt Park. It's a good decision from Mr Styles.

The rest of the team lost their concentration and pace after that, and when you seek the fault that clearly, when you questionned every decision you get the yellow card for sure. And there was no bad decision in that game, especially with the off/on-side decisions. No goals du to a bad decision and that's what important. Park and Carrick diserved their yellow card and Vidic should have one, easily.

edit: w00t 100 posts \o/

Yeah sure... And Arsenal is a poor little club who was never advantaged in a game by the referee's decision. No, never...

I repeat, there was no bad decision on that game, and i'm not saying that as a Man Utd fan. I'm perfectly capable to see when the victory isn't quite du to our talent.

Pompey were owning Aston Villa with possession and corner stats!

It just that Distin got nudge of the ball when he went for the header and Sol didn't follow Heskey - This is where villa goal came from.

In the second half Pompey were the best team, are passing and pressing was working well, we just couldn't get a goal.

The best chance was crouch, all he had to do was put his foot straight through it, the keeper and defender were to the side of him, somehow he missed :(

Who said never?! But NEVER if we play Man U or anyone who plays Man U..

"I'm suggesting nothing," said Mourinho when asked if he was serious about the idea there is a pro-Old Trafford bia. "I'm speaking just facts - it looks like it is forbidden to give a penalty against them [Manchester United]. But if I speak about a conspiracy then I have to prove the conspiracy. Because if I don't prove it I'm punished; but if I speak about facts then it's the end of democracy. Or I don't speak, then I'm blind and I need big glasses. "My facts are facts, be pragmatic."

Will Liverpool ever get out of the draw rut?

Better than losing I guess but one clear win in a wile is needed :(

C'mon the Pool, buck up!

Points between us and Utd will be stretched another couple this evening and old cherry nose will be laughing his socks of at Rafa.

We need Rafa to get his contract sorted and out of the way, followed by the Americans out of Anfield!

Seems everyone on the field is preoccupied on whats happening outside the white lines and not concentrating 100%.

forgetting the penalty you got at OT couple of seasons ago are we? :rolleyes:

That was karma mate!! Are you forgetting the dives for penalties and the tackles from behind being shrugged off?

The point is you (Man U fanboys) will never see all that all the 50-50 decisions go your way or the penalties that no one would even dream of being given being awarded to Man U or the tackles from behind that would've been straight reds not even called foul..

I could probably go Rafa Benitez on you lot and do research but I do not have that much time on my hands (unfortunately)... just see the facts Rafa collected.. they are FACTS..

also if so many ppl (fans, pundits, managers) are saying this over the years.. there must be a lil bit of truth in it.. no?

The fact is Man U is FA's baby.. with Man U ppl in influential places.. and it shows every season.. only Man U can get the refs they want.. :p

You will never see these and I will never stop to see these..

so either we are argue forever or I stop now..

i must be clearly, i'm sure you can name several times

so the penalty we should have had against pompy last season in the FA cup was my and everyone elses imagination? The harsh handball against Carrick to hand Chelsea the win last season too?

Those are not facts, whether something is a foul or not is an opinion. The only facts you can do are for example number of penalties awarded which is meaningless. When you have teams not even pushing forward against us, how do they expect to get a penalty?

The fact is Man U is FA's baby.. with Man U ppl in influential places.. and it shows every season.. only Man U can get the refs they want.. :p

Just like Arsenal did too? ;) If we could get the refs 'we' want, we wouldn't have seen Rob Styles on Tuesday. Are you forgetting the recent fine/ban for Evra? Ban for Fergie? About 7 yellow cards that weren't against Chelsea?

You will never see these and I will never stop to see these..

the delusional do see some strange things ;) i'd see Mr Wenger about that, he doesn't see a lot.

To be honest I'm still bitter about the dive Francis Jeffers did against Liverpool whilst he was at Arsenal, and which he was awarded a penalty for.

That was like five (or perhaps even more) years ago as well :mad:

Speaking of penalties, I still cannot believe the naiveity of Lucas yesterday...

surprised you didn't mention the one chelsea got at anfield (i think) where it was hard to even identify a challenge (guess who gave it, yep rob styles!)

also,

West Brom defender Paul Robinson has had his red card against Manchester United on Tuesday rescinded by the Football Association.

The 30-year-old was shown a straight red by referee Rob Styles for his first-half challenge on Ji-Sung Park in the 5-0 defeat to leaders United.

which is no surprise and lets hope we don't see rob styles refereeing this weekend (or ever again)

Well done you found one, finding one bad decision doesn't give your argument any weight. If you think it does then the referees clearly favour Chelsea (see above), Liverpool (Sheff Utd vs Liverpool, no contact on Gerrard but penalty given by the oh so good rob styles), Arsenal (Pires against Pompy tripping himself up)

    • Let's goooooooo! I've been loving the entries so far! I still have to finish Rebirth (things have been busy!)! Excited for this next installment.
    • "Revelation?" I was hoping for this episode to be called "Reunion". Oh, well... In a related note, the Final Fantasy VII compilation has received an EC entry, short for Ever Crisis. For those who don't know, it already had AC, BC, CC, and DC entries, short for Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus. I hope it doesn't get an FC entry becaude that would be a freakin' crisis.
    • Uh, after intense testing now, 'Samsung Browser' is not the best one outside of 'Microsoft Edge' after all. Opera Air is that. It has "some" bloat, but it's far less than what both Microsoft Edge and Brave browser have.
