No.

Was Eduardo? No.

What Drogba is or isn't doesn't come in to it, and as far as i'm aware he's never kung fu kicked anybody in the chest.

It is true foreign players are accused of cheating more than English ones. The treatment Eduardo got was a joke!

And the person who did that is long since out of the game. The rest of us still have to put up with the Drogba Dive.

I watch beach football from time to time, so i still have to put up with him, his protege Jonny Evans and Drogba.

Interestingly, a similar big match in France today had Lyon and Marseille play out a 5-5 thriller. It's a pity Chelsea and Man United wasn't remotely similar.

I think the Utd-Chelsea game could have gone either way.

Thing is, in these games, you need a break and we aren't getting any, this just joins onto the 1st 20mins at Liverpool. Refs are turning a blind eye to clear issues. They have to have an opinion on Fergusons comments after the Sunderland game, I just hope this isn't where this is heading.

Alan Green on 5Live was even saying the Ref was wrong on a few big decisions, and if he is saying it you have to take notice. Any positive words for UTD, from him, makes his lips bleed as they pass by.

Like I said, you prepare, you train, you play really well, and the Officials spoil it by not doing their job.

I would suggest they change Off-Side back to Off-Side, cos they haven't got a clue how to interpret the current rule.

Seriously, there is no excuse for this, it's absolutely disgraceful.

Russ · 09-11-2009, 04:36

"you can't always tell with Drogba" - yep ain't that the truth.

Meh these things even themselves out over the course of a season, besides it didn't seem to hurt Arsenal when they outplayed Utd and came away with nothing earlier in the season.

What do you mean a joke? That he was rightly accused for diving?

Come On Eduardo Fell before the keeper even touched him.. Anyone could see that On a Ipod nevermind a Huge Flatscreen!

The FACT is he got away with it in the end which is Disgraceful because he quite clearly Jumped a shadow and claimed he was Flicked? would we say that Flicked? On the shin which sent him tumbling at his speed Over the Keeper to recieve a penalty

And to answer your questions.. Yes Foreign Players are.. Because Most of them are big names.. Ronaldo (x2) Kaka, Robinho, Drogba and Eduardo..

They are all Big Footballing Internations Wheras Darren Bent.. Barely makes the Sun..

As for the Ninja Kick on Drogba.. What a Disgrace.. If A Referee cant spot it.. Why is he on the pitch?

As for the Odd.. We Outplayed Chelsea... Nah If you Outplayed Chelsea you wouldnt have lost 1-0?

We were the better team.. Like i said.. If your the better team.. Put up or shut up.. Manchester United Have Looked Less Convincing this season than a half cooked Christmas Turkey!

This comes from A Neutral perspective

Newcastle United

Yeah, that makes sense, cos the better team never looses a game of football. Scunthorpe comes to mind.

After United had been the better side for 75 minutes, Darren Fletcher was harshly penalised for a foul and Chelsea scored from the resulting free-kick.

Email him and set him straight. Oh, and we were also the better side last 15mins.

Despite the fact, had we got the three we deserved, we would have gone top! Well thought out post that one.

Going for our fourth Prem on the trot, not sure we have anything to prove to anyone.

United were beaten by one goal in a match were only one goal was actually scored and because they were beaten by this one goal in match that they did not actually score in you seem to think that your team actually deserved the 3 points.

That is the kind of logic only a United fan can come up with.

WE WUZ ROBBED COZ WE DID NOT SCORE IN MATCH THAT WE SHUDDA WON BY THE TEAM THAT ACTUALLY SCORED THE ONLY GOAL.

**Damien** · 09-11-2009, 11:00

It's true that if United were that much better then they would have scored. United didn't dominate the game they simply played better. They probably deserved a draw. Not a win.

As mentioned above Arsenal outplayed United at Old Trafford but lost. It's hard to take but it's probably better knowing you played well than capitulating. The hardest loss I have had, as an Arsenal fan, was the Champions League semi-final because we just got done over.

(Losing the FA Cup to Liverpool despite being the much better side that day was pretty awful as well though)/

Not really, just a bit of common sense. I think we have all seen games where you have played well enough to take it, and don't. But then, when you take what I said, and quote it minus the question, it looks good. Taking comments out of context for effect. It's the kind of logic I expect from non UTD fans. Psssssst Kuszczak hates Van Der Sar.

WRONG! Are you not reading what everyone is saying, I said at the time Arsenal deserved three from that game, you were the better team, and you got mugged, just like us yesterday. Apparently that is UTD logic, and so, you lost, you didn't deserve anything from it! All that effort and planning, tough, we scored and you didn't

Put up or shut up.

sherer · 09-11-2009, 12:09

has anyone ever in there life ever seen anyone who gets kicked on the chest react like Drogba did with shaking his legs up and down like that ? Is that even a proper medical reaction ?

When did footballs start to scream in pain even though shin pads are better than ever ?

How come a keeper can race after the ball pick it up and then go down needing "treatment"

How do the sports or rugby and boxing exist if people can't even fall over on grass without getting injured

He's a Clown of the highest order, it was a garbage challenge, and I bet it hurt a bit, and I mean a bit. I thought he was having a Seizure at first, maybe he had smashed his head into the floor. It was pretty childish, would have been better if he got up and faced Evan off, show the lad who is boss. He looked like the "Dying Fly" dance they do in Animal House.

With modern Footballers you will notice, with any serious injury, they tend not to move, which makes sense, why aggravate something. So the more they writhe in agony, for the most part, the more they are trying to en-flame the situation and get the Ref reaching to his pocket.
