You don't get "proper do" scraps in top level football any more, can't remember the last one, the players fall over before it's can get going. I saw a belter last night, nobody feigning injury, nobody backing down, equalled the world record of sendings off in a match too. Unfortunately I can see it causing us to be relegated (again).

Milan v Barca . . . . . .like watching paint dry. Some of the best players on the planet but the match is dull dull dull. Give me Premier League. And Iniesta looks like one of the puppets from Thunderbirds.

Crawley aren't making too many friends by all accounts and their manager doesn't help with his constant moaning. There were a couple of hefty punches in that melee which stopped the Bradford keeper from any more shenanigans!
It is surprising how players don't mind getting involved in a scrap but a slight bit of contact during play and they fall over like pansies!

Each to their own. I really enjoyed it, it's not Barcelona's fault that they are so good that their opponents refuse to "engage". Give me that football over Premier League "Work the line", "Hoof and hope" & "Hit the channels" any day. ^_^

The opinion here is that Crawley had it coming, it was Bradford who blew up first, it could have been anybody, they are an intensely annoying outfit. It's interesting to read the indignation and rightiousness in the media when the truth is, 99% of people who viewed the vid will have enjoyed it immensely, much better than watching the 90 minutes of humdrum L2 footie that preceded it. ^_^

Man Utd.
Man City
Arsenal
Newcastle
Tottenham
Chelsea
 
11 13 man United did not look like worthy champions today, although Ashley Young dived for his 7th penalty since 2010 - the most of any Premiership player in the same time period.

Nothing really changes - the refereeing this season just gets worse and worse and we've had another man sent off and correspondingly had more points robbed from us. (Shame on the FA for being so useless as to let muppets like Lee Mason 'referee' a match). Our remaining 6 fixtures are all going to be refereed apparently, so I would have thought there's a fairly high chance we'll be going down with officiating of the standard seen today. Forget the players on the pitch - the Chelsea, Tottenham, Man City or United...no it's the referee we have to watch out for.

A good goal from Scholes, an admirable player, overshadowed by the actions of a cheating little runt.

I thought City were well outplayed by Arsenal, you would not have guessed that they needed to win! With the same squad they'd fail next year too, there isn''t a "team" there, when Arsenal got on top they fell apart very quickly.

QPR sacked Warnock and then got a glamour manager with glamour agent and some glamour signings. A shed load of wage cash wasted on the wrong players, unwanted players that the selling clubs were more than happy to let leave. Going down.
