never thought I'd see that 
Is there such a thing?
He's so fine...
It's been mentioned a few times in previous threads but also:
I suppose not many people pay attention to RM's posts so perhaps you missed it.
Agreed.
To add, what tickles me more at the comment about "biggest waste of money" is when you actually engage your brain (assuming it works) and consider some of the flops we've had and how much they cost....Anderson cost >£20mill in 2007, for example. Nani...

I'd be wanting to leave in his shoes. He's being wasted right now and at some point they are going to buy a proper winger pushing him to the bench. His only hope for the future with Man U is if Rooney gets relegated to second string or sold, neither of which are likely to happen over the next couple of years.
Leave and go where?
If he wants to win things that matter (which I'm pretty sure is all he cares about) where could a player of his quality and history go now that would enhance his chances of doing that?
PSG - Unlikely
Monaco - No
RM - No
Barca - Unlikely
Man.City - No
Arsenal - No
Chelsea - Lol
Liverpool - Lol
Man. U. - Wait... yeah maybe he can.

Spurs wishful thinking in both respects
Nice to see motd clear the penalty claim up
No contact on remy
Well that's that then, MOTD is gospel.
Edit: Oh no, Shearer's just said it's an absolute certain penalty.
there is NO contact
how can you give a penalty or a foul for NO contact
repeat
NO contact
Obstructing the player from getting the ball to the point they have to jump over them to get to it.
Would you like Shearer's Twitter ID?
so are we gonna give hundreds of freekicks every game from now on everytime a winger "jumps" a challenge and carries on his run down the line

No, if the player continues he will be given advantage.
Remy managed to continue, but he was clearly impeded to the point he was like a drunk donkey and barely got a shot away.
You see it fairly often, a player will hurdle a sliding tackle, land and fall over. No contact, but it's still a foul.
The laws of the game say it's a foul if you trip or attempt to trip and/or charge at an opponent - no mention of there needing to be contact.
Put it this way, Butland makes a challenge for the ball, he doesn't get it and as a result of the challenge Remy's impeded - why isn't that a foul?
edit: this was debated 8-9 years back when Gerrard was awarded a pen in the exact same circumstances - the defender lunged in on him, misses but forced Gerrard to hurdle the challenge and stumble as a result, he got his shot off but the ref pulled it back and gave the pen. Iirc some ex refs said at the time that a pen was the correct decision.

No contact is utterly irrelevant, not just in sports like football but in law too.
