    Sir Alex should give VanDerSar a call to find out just how "Retired" he is, too/

    Lol!!!!

    The most satisfying thing about watching this game is seeing how absolutely shite Nasri has been the entire match.

    Nasri is off for Hargreaves, as Citeh searches for a goal. Well, that pretty much sums it up for good ole Sammy, doesn't it?

    That was a great match

    Chris Foy was absolutely terrible. Nasri getting subbed off for a holding mid when City needed one goal was funny because it was the right sub.

    How Roy Keane was ever hired to analyze a Man U game is beyond me. He said, "On paper, United still have a stronger squad for me." Really mate? Really? They barely managed to hold on against 10 men. What a twat

    In fairness, Roy Keane hates Fergie and doesn't really care for Man U that much.

    Were'nt you banned from the Man U forum (when you were a Man U fan) because you made racist comments there?

    The above is rhetorical. I know you were.

    You are clearly the one who should be preaching to others about standards of behaviour and making a fool out of themselves.

    That was shrewd managing by SAF to start Chris Hoy ahead of Howard Webb today.

    The Home Office published a report detailing arrests and offences at Football Matches in England last season (2010-2011). Number of reported Offences by all major Clubs are included. See for yourself and get some perspective.

    http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/public...rrests-banning-orders/fbo-2010-11?view=Binary

    If a fan or two abused Adeyemi, let the police prosecute and a banning order be issued. Racist abuse from fans does rarely occur at football matches - and it is not tolerated.

    why do i need to get some perspective?
    your link just shows arrests and banning orders, of which liverpool have less of than arsenal, and that arsenal have 1 supporter conviction for racist comments where liverpool have 0.
    where has my perspective gone so badly wrong here? i think you've not actually read my post or something.

    I don't think he has because you were actually defending Liverpool there.

    Anyway, banning orders don't say much. Fulham only had 4 banning orders -- does that mean their fans are saints, or that Fulham wasn't inclined to ban many fans? Who knows.

    to be fair to fulham, their fans are pretty decent from those i've met and what i've heard in general. they have a high % of older fans and a lot of young kids in their fanbase. it's a bit of a family kind of club in that respect, which you would assume keeps incidents down a bit.

    I haven't gotten past the sending off of Kompany in the game yet to see if the ref was terrible but that literally was almost the definition of a red card. How the hell can people be arguing it wasn't is beyond me. He went in with both feet off the ground and made a scissor motion with his legs on top of that. The fact that he got all ball and not the player is not relevant since Nani jumped out of the way to avoid him. Just because the refs in England are so terrible that they usually let that go does not mean that they should be blasted when they finally don't. I have not watched past this point so he may well deserve the abuse for the rest of the game.
