is it true that Ferguson asked the referee for another minute of stoppage time?? sounds far-fetched but that's what I heard

Well, some of the Blackburn players are saying that originally, there were to be 3 mins of injury time and that Ferguson saw this and complained and low and behold, it was changed to 4 mins, enough time for the equaliser.

ermm shouldn't there be an investigation into that?

 

[Holdon]

If it was any other team than Man Utd........

pffft

sad but true

whats silly is just how many times MU are accused of having the match fixed. Then when there finally is something strange no gives a shit because its been heard so many times And i didnt see the match but why are people saying 4mins never happens? 4 or even 5mins stoppage time is common in EPL.

we're not saying the match was fixed. I don't know much about the game cos I didn't see it... and 4 or 5 minutes of stoppage time is no outofthisworld occurance, but if (as reports suggest) a minute was added on at the request of one of the managers, surely there's gotta be something wrong with that

Liverpool lost 1-0 to Bolton. Things are not going the way Benitez planed.

Because of the numerous times the ball gets lofted out of play due to the kickball tactics?

from what I read, we lost mainly because we didn't play well as a team, and considering the very recent addition of Garcia et all, I'm not surprised things had not melded yet. but hopefully things will improve quickly-I think Rafa has done pretty well so far, and things will improve I think

yeah indeed. But like i said if people didnt cry and moan about every united decision and just kept it for times like this then something would be done about it.

I hate MU as much as anyone, but theres hating MU and theres just being an idiot

It was a very strange game though. And it did look like a minute was added on the request of Ferguson. And the goal Man U scored was created thanks to a handball. The game wasn't fixed, but I think it seems fair to believe the ref didn't dislike MU either.

 

[MCPIERO]

Definitely something to do with Ian Wright

No question. Although I think SWP learnt mostly from watching Maradona footage and some verbal descent skills from dad

Man U had about 500 chances to level. Blacburn should be happy they got a point. Saha was a sly mother... props.

Sure but its tiring. I see Chelsea get great ref decisions, rediculous ref decisions and get away with it. Then MU get something for once and everyone in England is crying about it

Well... you have to admit it's easier to hate MU than Chelsea...

 

[gray]

I don't hate Chelsea at all. I resent the fact that they've made the whole concept of transfer negotiations into a farce, but that's no reason to hate the team itself.

 

[mikhail]

No reason to hate the team, but plenty of reason to hate the club. And Mourinho is reason enough for me to be wishing them all a merry Christmas, followed by an injury crisis and a run of 17 games without a win.

What about him?

His attitude. I don't remember if the quote was about him, but someone said last week "if he was a lollipop, he'd be licking himself" Sums it up nicely.

 

[vitoria_Ally]

I like the way he works with team, so I guess that's why I dont mind his attitude.

Maybe I didnt like one thing about him: CL final, Porto just won the title and he took his medal and went to changing room, then he explained: I wanted to be with my family, cause I didnt have time for them lately, but when journalists kept asking, he explained once again: it's time for new challange or sth.
Anyway it was stupid behaviour, he shouldnt have left players in such great moment, only cayse he had a contract with Chelsea with his pocket already.
