Football Season 2012/2013

[Wezmon]

The only thing i saw is Rio trying to celebrate by lifting his shirt and managed to hit himself in the forehead.

That was my initial thinking, I was shouting "he's mirked himself", by gf says he def got hit by a projectile

[Nerph-]

Yeah at first it looked like Ferdinand had hit himself in the face while lifting his shirt up to celebrate, at least that's how it looked.

Also I need to stop leaving defenders on the bench who get 7 points a game.

[TJ]

Really good game, justice was served imo since the reffing was horrendous and Young was a mile onside. I was talking to my grandad watching the game with me just before the RVP free kick and I said "I hope he scores this to win the game and mark his derby debut" and then he scored, like a boss. First game I've enjoyed in a while, although the diving/cheating was still present..

[mirodin]

Do United fans sing "He score when he wants"? I know i did last season when he was dragging our behinds in every game.

[Northern Goblin]

Pretty much, it's a good chant.

Mancini's opinion about RVP's goal is class. "We only had two and a half men in the wall."


Respect to Joe Hart today though, who stopped a City fan's attempts to invade the pitch

[Xanjori]

Spurs havent been great this game, if we come away with a 1-0 win Id be pretty damn happy and Id imagine Everton fans will be feeling slightly mugged. Still I think we played really well as a defensive unit at least which is a nice sign.

Seems a lot happened that match. I remember the Rooney corner with all the City fans making 'wanker' signs behind him lol, didn't see him get hit by a coin though.

Also decent of Joe Hart to stop the dick fan who ran on the pitch from attacking Ferdinand.

edit: meh Fengore beat me too it!

All in all a rather thrilling derby, pity the fans can't act like normal human beings though.

[Xanjori]

Meh, seems I cursed us. Still, even a 1-1 isnt bad considering we didnt do much today.

jinxed us, I hate overtime goals, should be disallowed to score like that. rofl

Amazing Toffees..

[Northern Goblin]

Sadly you get pricks like that on all sides, some of our fans were utterly obnoxious in a Manc derby a few years back toward Bellamy. Not the most likeable person, but what they did was still out of order.

Aye, I meant all of the fans in general, United ones included. A derby like this will always be tense but I still don't find it a reason to act like a complete dickwad.

[Northern Goblin]

Didn't see the Everton/Spurs game, was Bale playing today, or is he off injured?

Didn't play.

To be fair I think Joe Hart stopped that guy getting a slap more than Joe Hart protected Rio Ferdinand!

The more likely scenario, but regardless either way you look at it, credit to him for stepping in.

[koodledrum]

Classless acts anyway, lets be fair I have no love for either half of the Manchester football scene but chucking coins & coming onto the pitch is a disgrace and City should get hammered over it, but where in the hell are the cops & security in all of this? Sorry that was always going to be a bad tempered match and whoever organised it fucked up by allowing that guy to get onto the park.

[Northern Goblin]

The Police swarmed in on the direction the coin was thrown from, so security was lax elsewhere for that moment.

City have already offered a full unreserved apology to Rio, and have handed all CCTV footage to the police, can't fault them for the way they've handled it.

[Valeron]

Falcao scored 5 goals today vs Deportivo (where were these goals last week?)

Messi has scored twice in the first half so far, he has broken Gerd Muller's record.
