Weekend Football 21/22 & 23rd ***SPOILERS***

you are stretching way beyond reason if you think there was a push there that made any difference at all

If Ronaldo did foul Nelsen (havn't seen that yet) its a free kick, regardless of whether or not United gained an advantage from it. As has already been said though, you should never have had that corner in the first place.
 
I agree with the speculation but you can't ignore the fact that the majority feel it was a definite penalty. For a club like Blackburn though who are fighting for our survival these decisions are a lot bigger for us. United have arguable already won the title and given the problems currently plaguing the other 3 of the big 4 i'd wager now that they will take it. A point against United or even a win would have been fantastic for us but for me the ref has botched 2 major decisions, he's not sent Ronaldo off for kicking out (who has then gone on to score the winner) and he has not awarded a penalty for a foul on Pedersen.

As for the tripping, Rafael makes contact. Due to that factor the referee has only two options to choose from, penalty or dive. If Pedersen trips it is due to Rafaels intervention.


He didnt trip. If you watch the replay of it again you will see that his legs suffered a muscular spasm and collapsed from beneath him.

Either that or the hugely strong rafael has so much strength in his wrist he managed to floor Pedersen :rolleyes:

once the corner is given it cant be taken back though - so from that point onwards whether the corner was valid or not, everything after that is reasonable.

There was no Ronaldo foul, so the goal should have been allowed
 
Wenger has said in the post match interview we had the right attitude :confused: There can't be any hope if he thinks jogging around at a snails pace is the right attitude :mad:

Wenger is actually annoying the hell out of me this season with his BS rhetoric, he is more delusional than Rafa - apart from a few gems who are truly world class this squad completely sucks.

gave up Roma tickets for tomorrow night, rather stay @ home and watch the Utd-Inter game.
 
Did Ronaldo kick out at somebody again .. :/ What on earth is going on? Isn't that 3 times this season without punishment once? Ugh.

Well that would be double standards wouldn't it, as the players kicking lumps out of him aren't getting punished.

And Howard Webb had a word with him about it so the FA can't do anything retrospectively about it but then again, this is United and they like to move the disciplinary goalposts with us.
 
The Arsenal game was back to the same old routine. You can't run a creative team if your two central midfielders literally don't have a (quality) creative bone in them. I do think Denilson has talent, but he's been thrown in at the deep end and the entire team are suffering. I don't think Arsenal will get 4th this season which will be awful. I can't imagine watching Villa in the CL next year instead of Arsenal :/. Wenger has made two massive mistakes in not signing a DM last summer, then not signing one on the 1st January. Out of his mind.

Arshavin looks damn good, though :D
 
Shouldn't really say it, but that might benifet Arsenal. Crikey...how we have fallen lol...:/

I don't think it will make that great a difference to us. His delivery this year and set pieces have been poor in comparison to previous years.

The whole team now battles so hard I don't think it will be that great a whole to fill. So many of the players are used to playing whenever and wherever on the field it can't really upset us anymore that the injuries have already.
 
Apparantly Rafael is now injured for Tuesday as well :o

a few very slight rumours that OShea is ok to play which would mean

Eckersley Rio OShea Evra

I would have thought (even though I havent heard much about this knock Rafael got so not sure how serious, as he has also flown out to Italy)
