Re: Football Season 2011/12

It seems the goalkeeper is still prone to the odd error though.:D

Re: Football Season 2011/12

:LOL: commentary just said... dramatic late goals.. Fergies birthday.... what does that mean I hear you ask.... 10minutes injury time thats what it means.

Re: Football Season 2011/12

And l thought Liverpool's result against Blackburn was bad.:D

Re: Football Season 2011/12

your lot drew. Gooners lost away to Blackburn :mad: anyway good for Steve Kean but still the fans will call for his head

Re: Football Season 2011/12

So, I wonder if SAF still thinks we don't need to dip in the transfer market? Shower of brown-stuff today.

Re: Football Season 2011/12

Looking at it from a independent point of view l think Man Utd need a centre back and Midfielder at least and perhaps a experienced goalkeeper as well but somehow Ferguson gives the impression that he is not going to dip into the January transfer market.

Fergie will buy Gotze

was and still are but i doubt it'll happen. his old man doesn't approve of it either.

Re: Football Season 2011/12

to be honest the performance today was the same as the past few weeks and even last season too.

We had Park in midfield, a player who offers nothing on the wing and didn't do a think in the centre. Add in Nani who should spend more time in training and learning how to pass and cross than he does on his hair.

Wellbeck isn't good enough to play upfront to using him out of position is recipe for distaster.

We don't have a big enough squad and some of our first team starters aren't good enough either.

For all the goals Hernandez gets when there is a game that requires more than just sticking the ball in the net from a few yards out he struggles and only lasted 45 mins

Van Persie :D

Luis Suarez gave "unreliable" evidence to the body that was investigating claims he racially abused Patrice Evra, according to a report published by the Football Association.

Quote:

The report says that Suarez broke Rule E3 by bringing the game into disrepute.

Quote:

The 115-page document details the conversation between the two players.

"Mr Evra was a credible witness. He gave his evidence in a calm, composed and clear way," read the report

Quote:

Mr Suarez's evidence was unreliable in relation to matters of critical importance. It was, in part, inconsistent with the evidence, especially the video footage.

"For example, Mr Suarez said that he pinched Mr Evra's skin in an attempt to defuse the situation. He also said that his use of the word 'negro' to address Mr Evra was conciliatory and friendly. We rejected that evidence.

"To describe his own behaviour in that way was unsustainable and simply incredible given that the players were engaged in an acrimonious argument

Quote:

Suarez was found guilty on the "balance of probability" - a lower standard than the criminal standard of "beyond all reasonable doubt".

The report added: "It is not for Mr Suarez to satisfy the commission that he did not breach the rules. Rather, it is for the FA to satisfy us to the required standard that Mr Suarez did breach the rules.

"After the referee Andre Marriner separated them, Mr Suarez said that he turned to Mr Evra and said 'Por que, negro?'

"He [Suarez] said that he used the word 'negro' at this point in the way that he did when he was growing up in Uruguay, that is as a friendly form of address to people seen as black or brown-skinned or even just black-haired.

"He [Suarez] said that he used it in the same way that he did when he spoke to Glen Johnson, the Liverpool player.

"He [Suarez] said in no way was the use of the word 'negro' intended to be offensive or to be racially offensive. It was intended as an attempt at conciliation.

"If Mr Suarez did not use the word 'negro' towards Mr Evra, then abusive or insulting words are unlikely to have been used."

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will look to sign a defender on loan after losing Thomas Vermaelen to a calf strain.

Quote:

The win sees Arsenal move above Chelsea and Liverpool into fourth but they are facing mounting injury problems.

Vermaelen, normally a centre-half, has been deputising for left-backs Andre Santos (ankle) and Kieran Gibbs (groin)Meanwhile, right-back Bacary Sagna (broken leg) and Carl Jenkinson (back) are also unavailable. .

Sir Alex Ferguson described Manchester United's 3-2 home defeat by bottom-club Blackburn as "a disaster".

Quote:

Ferguson pointed to the injuries in defence that forced him to field senior players out of their usual positions.

"We've had problems with four central defenders out," added the Scot. "We missed Michael Carrick's craft in the middle. We played Park Ji-sung and Rafael in centre midfield, but they aren't centre midfielders
