You also can't argue against the fact that he's the luckiest man in football's history.

Ever heard the phrase "you make your own luck"?

Hard work usually pays off, and a team that can win so many games when playing poorly is one that deserves it IMO.

Ha, but unlike other teams you have to cheat to get your goals, still fuming about that Nani goal.. AND Park scoring in the 112th ****ing minute, ridiculous! How many times have we seen it? 2 or 3 minutes added on, 9 minutes later Utd get a goal, pathetic.

Nanis goal - don't see how it was "cheating" per se. Yes, I'd be angry if it was the other way around, but you need to blame the referee or the linesman, or perhaps blame Gomez for giving the ball to Nani?

Parks goal - 93rd minute, within injurty time. How is that cheating? There was 4 minutes of added time given, and Nani scored in the 3rd. Just sour grapes I think.

I wouldnt say he gave the ball to Nani, he placed it down and walked back as in ready to take the free kick.. The thing which got me is if it was play on why did everyone but Nani run back up the pitch expecting a long kick from Gomes? It was a farce, probably one of the worst decisions in recent history, the same thing happened with liverpool not long ago. Video technology is WAY overdue, dick heads like Clattenburg wont **** things up so much then :)

The referee never blew his whistle. I don't care what level you are playing at, you play to the whistle.

That is the second thing I was taught playing football for my local boysclub when I was 11! Somewhat oddly, the first thing I was taught is also ignored by top players too often - don't mess around with the ball right infront of your goal.

You can't blame Nani for tapping it in. The ball was in open play. If he didn't try to score, then he would have had a right screaming at from the rest of his team and from fergie.

I think Nani should have been booked for the hand ball, but I don't see any problem with a free kick not being given - Gomez had the ball, so why bother stopping play.

Going back to my first point - Gomez should have been paying attention. He wasn't, he conceded.

Why bother stopping play? You could say that about any foul any handball and illegal incident.. Nani wouldnt have had a shouting at if the didnt do it, because nobody knew what was going on majority of the United team AND Ferguson admitted that they though it was a free kick, how the linesman missed it i dont know..

Gomez had the ball though. You see it all the time. Like offsides flagged by the linesman, but as the defending team has got the ball, the ref plays on.

There was no free kick given, thus Nani was right to try to score. Blame the referee, linesman or Gomez. I agree it was a farce though.

Not going to bother repeating myself anymore smile.gif.

I agree that united often get decisions in their more than what they should, but the two that you mentioned (Nani's goal and Park's goal) were totally legitamate.

Liverpool beating Chelsea 2-0 then tying Wigan 1-1...same logic?

Happens more often than you think, that is why those kind of FA cup contests are always so close. There's something about playing a fierce rival (especially a rival as big as Chelsea) that gets the adrenaline flowing that doesn't always happen against lesser opponents. Not a great result for sure, but it keeps us unbeaten and confidence in the camp will continue to improve.

Chelsea have announced they are not renewing the contract of assistant manager Ray Wilkins and that he is to leave the club with immediate effect.

Wilkins, 54, rejoined Chelsea's coaching staff for a second time in 2008 to work under Luiz Felipe Scolari.

He stayed when Guus Hiddink came in and remained when Carlo Ancelotti was named manger ahead of the 2009-2010 season.

Chelsea's chief executive Ron Gourlay said: "I would like to thank Ray for everything he has done for Chelsea."

He added: "We all wish him well for the future."

Wilkins - who enjoyed a distinguished playing career with spells at Chelsea, Manchester United, AC Milan and QPR amongst others - was on the bench for the clubs's 1-0 win over Fulham on Wednesday.

Wonder what were the politics behind his sacking,can't see this being a contract dispute.

Maldini to replace him :yes:

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

      Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By Nas · Posted

      Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
