And the fact that Fergie was so distraught he refused to give an interview....  he's  the only freaking manager that gets away with that shit.

In complete agreement with Andrew on this one -

An utter disgraceful decision that completely changed the game! United were comfortable to that point and certainly had their chances to win this game - that Van Persie miss in the first leg has come back to haunt them and wasn't Mr. V.P quiet.

Was anybody else surprised to not see Rooney starting?

On another note:

Quoted from Toby_E I actually have a feeling QPR will do it. For the rest of the season, they've got some very winnable games (Sunderland, Villa, Wigan, Reading, Newcastle)

I really hope that feeling was just a stomach ache Toby! I hope QPR go down not just because I'm a Villa fan but because they're such a poorly run side that has thrown stupid money down the drain and is no example to clubs that struggle at the bottom.

And for Mr. (I won't pull the chairman's pants down) Redknapp to give a 4 year contract on a hundred grand a week to a 29 year-old is just downright crazy.

You watch him walk away at the end of the season and leave that club in ruins...

Just like he did to both the south coast clubs, Pompey and Southampton.

Whether it was a red card or not coop... it's the reaction after and the fact nani stayed down for a few mins himself obviously  known  he did wrong

And that's coming from a non biased staunch Liverpool fan
                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
Anyway onto sunday where another big game of 2 great footballing sides come together... and I think Utd are playing chelsea too... which is good as Utd are bringing out their 12th man Howard Webb for that one so that there's no more mistakes against them

Ok Roy,  57 year old Carragher will put your Bale in his place

I hope QPR go down too.  The way they have spent money on countless transfers over the last two seasons has been a joke.  How many players have they brought in?  

I remember watching the QPR documentary made a few years ago when they were desperately trying to get promoted and it was ridiculous!

Plus 'wobbly head' Redknapp annoys me lol.

Quoted from alffy Andrew, I do think it was harsh and deserved only a yellow card but I've seen a lot worse decisions in recent seasons.  The thing got me annoyed was the players and managers reaction to it all.  The decision was made so get on with it.  Fergie chumping around on the touchline and Rio's reaction at the end was a disgrace. It ruined the game and was the wrong decision by the Ref.

Yeah, I won't disagree that their behavour was poor, but I won't say I wouldn't have done the same myself. That idiot cost the club a fantastic opportunity at winning the Champions League and millions in revenue. He deserves some grief, even though I agree it sends a bad message to the kids and is generally poor form.

United should've had that late penalty as well. I was totally pissed off that the red card spoiled this engrossing contest.

You're probably right, but I actually feel for Fergie with this one - it really did change the match and I wouldn't blame anybody for losing their bottle.

I would have done a Di Canio and pushed the fourth official over!

It seems a lot of people are forgeting Rafael's handball that should have been a penalty and a red card.  Okay I think I'll draw a line under this whole red card thing.

I'd like to say, even as a Palace fan, that I hope Spurs make it into the Champions League next season.  I do think they're a striker short but I like the way they play and if they finish above Chelsea, it would be a big f=#k you from AVB to Roman.

Totally agree... spurs are a great side to watch, just hopefully not on sunday.

p.s and I f##king hate Chelsea, Rafa sold himself to the devil

Mark, is Carragher still a footballer or is he just a fat guy now? I wouldn't mind him in the team on Sunday, he's scored a few own goals in our favour in previous fixtures. If I'm honest the game on Sunday is one of our remaining fixtures that I'm a bit worried about. Liverpool have hit a bit of form, we haven't played well in our last three games, plus we don't tend to get much at Anfield. Gareth Bale can win games on his own, but then so can Suarez.

I would love it if Spurs finish the top London club. Top four is priority, finishing ahead of Arsenal a close second. Can't remember the last time that happened. I've supported Spurs long enough to know we can quite easily balls it all up, we never make things easy. Would be great if we do finish above Chelsea too. AVB has done a great job so far, I like the fact he learnt from what went wrong at chelsea and he totally changed his approach. Harry who?

ps didn't Di Canio push the actual ref over, not the fourth official?

Quoted from ArtyDoubleYou ps didn't Di Canio push the actual ref over, not the fourth official?

Yes, and he went do in installments as I remember.  Laughable bad acting.

Tonight's a very interesting game. I fancy Spurs to turn Inter over...

Rooney to leave Man U??

Rooney to leave Utd for half the pricehe was valued at last year.  He's been hit and miss for a while now.  He's done alright for Utd but put an England shirt on him and I'd play Emile Heskey!

Spurs should beat Inter tonight.  Inter aren't the team they were but Spurs need to stay positive and pen them back and they'll score goals.

And things go from bad to worse for Chelsea...
