The pivotal moment was when Man Utd were 1-0 up on the day (2-0) on aggregate. Ronaldo dives and wins a free kick, John O’Shea pushes the end of the wall out of the way and Ronaldo scores a “wonder goal”. It’s all a cheat - but will you see an account of this in the press? I think not - please correct me if I’m wrong. At 1-0 down on the night Arsenal could have rallied and the result (especially with the home crowd still interested) could have been so different.
To cap it off I’m in the newsagents and I see a front page banner image on The Sun (I could be wrong to the newspaper as I cannot find it on their website, but it was one of the tabloids) of Ronaldo with arms out stretched (representing the Crucifixion) and the text “Cristiano Almighty” - an obvious reference to God or Jesus Christ status. This is just too bloody much! Religious heresy - comments please!!!!
I’m aware Man Utd fans feel aggrieved at the ref - but one player missing the final or all of them is the argument I’m putting up here.
Q. How many people does it take to change a light bulb at Old Trafford?
A. One person to change the light bulb, one person to tap irritatingly on a watch whilst chewing gum like a mad man, several thousand people to watch on in silence and several million people to bang on about how well the light bulb was changed and how no one else could do it as well as “their person” did despite not seeing the light bulb being changed.
Is supriority complex the reason so many people become a fan of Manchester United. Read the information in the link and make up your own mind. I’m no expert or student of psychology but I’d love to hear from such (via the comments) to provide an expert judgement.
The arrogance of Manchester United is sometimes beyond belief! They are planning the Champions League victory parade ahead of the first leg semi final with Arsenal. OK they are dressing it up as a saftey issue…… but come on, this is arrogance at a new level
Prawn sandwich brigade. Maybe old news but deserves a mention following the lack of support for Man Utd at home v Spurs when loosing 2-0 and the booing of Berbatov by Man Utd fans for the poor penalty v Everton in the FA cup semi final.
Spurs are 2-0 up at Old Trafford and the place resembles a morgue. Man Utd fan went silent - no passion, no support, the fans just turn up expecting to be entertained. Enter Howard Webb and a dodgy penalty decision to get the crowd interested. Man Utd go on to win
Thanks to Everton beating Manchester United in the FA Cup Semi final the death of football will not occur! Man Utd got what they deserved by fielding an under strength team which was an insult to the FA Cup as a competition and to the fans that parted with their money at Wembley. This time Ben Foster’s Ipod could not prevent the Everton penalty shoot out win. Indeed one of the more famous Man Utd players was mainly to blame, Berbatov, with one of the worst penalties ever seen!
With the FA Cup Semi final with Everton pending, I thought I’d put up this poll. I’m not sure it is a hate man utd topic as such, but maybe it will provoke a few comments
The full list being: Cristiano Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Edwin van der Sar and Steven Gerrard.
This is a plain case of bias. Please comment if you could name a player who has been over looked. In the meantime, lets hope Gerrard wins!
A quick note to regular visitors to this site. There have been no updates due to holidays and a bombardment of SPAM comments. Whilst on holiday we had some fun at the expense of a “Man Utd fan” in a continental bar, he had a Man Utd shirt on. He claimed to support them because “they are the best team” (sic). When questioned he had not been to any games. An individual with no loyalty to his home town or country and likely to swap his “support” when another team become the best. Well done to FC Porto who scared Man Utd in the Champions League Quarter finals (but alas did not win in the end). And it sounds like there is a new “wonder kid” to keep an eye on
Double goals conceeded v (Fulham 2 Man Utd 0), double sending off (Scholes and Rooney), double consecutive defeats in the premiership (Liverpool last weekend), double consecutive games with Man Utd having player(s) sent off. The ref this time being Phil Dowd. Here are some pictures for your double enjoyment…..
