When it comes to refs, if it’s either Styles, Clattenberg or Bennett, chances are United will get screwed either by him or his linesmen. The hand ball penalty was bad enough but there was a call against Tevez for offside in the first half that really rubbed me wrong. He was in all alone with a fantastic goal scoring chance.

Fred; An argument broke out in my house yesterday while I was alone and not only did I win, but I got the last word in edge wise. Jose Mourinho would have thought I was fantastic.

after watching 2 abortions of a game yesterday (yankees and united) i must say what a horrible day to be a fan of both, yankees not being able to score, and united being screwed out of 3 points by an inept ref and good keeper on his day
i pray to god styles does not manage the SB game, or i may not bother watching it, hopefully someone with balls to make those game changing calls will manage, the ref for united vs arsenal last week, he did a pretty good job

Heh! He had a shocker didn’t he!

Btw, match report is up. Head over there for some more match discussion, and perhaps some discussion on the upcoming CL clash against Barcelona.

Craig; Agreed on the ref, I’m not blaming him solely for our defeat, we weren’t great today, but he just is incompetent
and this is just the level of refereeing these days for Premier League referees, sad but not much that can be done about it in the next few years, or more to the point, won’t be done. Anyone have any highlights to look over his performance again? From first glance it was fairly awful. And the fans really were brilliant, it s a bit of a disappointment that most of the fans that were in Blackburn are pretty much the only few left who now who to spur their team on, I’m sure out of the 70,000 more fans at OT, 20,000 more at most even make an effort to sing. And Rick I agree that based on form that is the best team we can put out, but the chance that we will play the same team for every game until the rest of the season, no matter how important they are, are very low. The Premier League is still well within our grasp, Barcelona again were lacklustre without Messi and probably more importantly Iniesta, and even though they both will be well rested up I don’t see Barcelona putting up a great fight against us. CL final here we come
RR; I realize you last comment was partly aimed towards me, so I changed the comment accordingly, and apologies

I was there, I was there, I was there!. Friedel had a scorcher, but B’Burn fans around most of the ground were scared shitless because our lads were fighting for all their Feckin might in the second half. For the B’Burn defence it was like Custer’s last stand. WE WERE UNLUCKY – that’s all!. That idiot Styles was so inept, that his blind sightedness has become legendary, and especially whenever he ref’s United. Not so for the scousers though, he looks to give them everything – ask Everton after what happened to them in the derby at Goodison and the dippers. Hope Hargo and Anderson play against Chelsea, because we will murder them. United fans were incredible at B’Burn yesterday, and we did the B’Burn fans with fervour and outshouting. But then I had a good few bevvies, so my mind might be more than a little bias lol.

Okay, this is getting really silly now.

Another comment on anything other than footy, is going to be deleted. You’ve all spoken enough, and anyother comment on anything else is unconditionally going to be deleted. Be adults and move on. Remember, no one is forcing anyone to comment here. So if we can discuss about United and footy in general then you are welcome.

And Conor: To be fair here, JB did attempt to judge Grognard based on his opinion on Saha, which is not something we want from people here.

Anyway, on to the football.

Grognard; the end is near! Don’t let worst case scenarios creep into your mind, we will not lose against Chelsea, it really just seems unthinkable. If we draw against them that’s the league wrapped up in my opinion. Then we will have Barca ripe for the kill after drawing with them 1-1 at the Nou Camp

Grognard: You are on an internet blog, is their really any requirement for me provide reassurance or paise to your comments that I agree with? I don’t seek or care if I get any praise for my comments and I don’t feel there is any particular requirement to hand any out. As for the smart remarks, it seems even the use of smilies is insuffucient to convey humour.

Rick: That is exactly the setup I would go for in the next three games. Unfortunately I can’t see SAF starting Hargreaves and Anderson three times in less than a week.

I’m trying to break the recod here . Please Respect.

Did anybody see that “back-flip” by Benny McCarthy to Santa Cruz?I mean he made a flick pass with his back LOL.
That’s the most outrageous goal for our def in the season.
