I know.
But it's Stoke behaviour not to. And to say that you will and then not doing it is, well, shit.
They played magnificently, and we were heavily at fault for how that played out, but it's still shit.

One of their players was giving thumbs up to Young.
I don't know how you interpret that other than "alright, we'll give it back". At least, I think that's the situation Carrick is on about.

Alright, thoughts on my new avatar?
I don't know how you get that from thumbs up hahaha. And I'm pretty sure the thumbs up were in another moment, not in that one. Maybe before the penalty.
So...? you made the "fault", not them. Again, this wasn't an injured player moment.
Who is it?
what irked me about the 3rd goal was rafael stopping infront of the goalkeeper, wtf was he thinking
Yeah this puzzles me.
Oh I don't know.
*sobs*
Raf seems to have thought Dave would get up and come and claim it. And straight up had no idea that Muniain was coming.
That was a full stretch stop, though. Dave actually did well to try and put himself anywhere near it when Muniain came in.
Frankie shaw it seems, she is cute.
Who made a fault? If you're talking about the woeful defending then that's a fault? If the rule is that a team can score from a free kick that is given if a shoe comes off accidentally and the player plays on, that's ridiculous. Penalised because they've moved the ball from a dangerous position with no shoe? What if Evra doesn't touch the ball, Bilbao run it into space he can't get into because he's not allowed to touch the ball and score? What's the rules on that?
Stupid fucking thing. You either play on or make them give the ball back; it seems like a ridiculous decision and I reckon if it had happened to Bayern you'd be incensed.
decent article on Tello - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/champions-league/9130609/The-next-Lionel-Messi-who-is-Barcelonas-forgotten-Champions-League-hero-Cristian-Tello.html
Liverpool were apparently interested and so were espanyol. Seems like a class player after watching him yesterday

The next Lionel Messi, ugh. Can we give him a bit more time before burying him in that list of failed "next messi's"
Nu-uh. Super Tello.
No, he never made a sign that we were giving it back, he told Young he was nuts and why should we give it back is not like United kicked the ball out intentionally
I think the key word is immediately... in this case Evra lost the boot the played continued and then it went back to him.
Oh I am a Tello supporter, just look at my posts before the leverkusen game calling for him to play or be subbed on and predicting a hat trick. I was nearly right. Kid is awesome.
We had the ball though, this is what I don't understand. Young had the ball outside the area and could have shot and scored; according to Fifa that isn't breaking the rules.
I don't disagree with the result, Bilbao should have scored a bunch more. But if that's contradicting the rules and they've scored a decisive third because of that decision, it's pissed me off.
EDIT: I don't know, I don't get what a two second discrepancy without his shoe can do. Like I say, what happens if the ball is played into space behind Evra that he's not allowed to get to because he can't touch the ball?
Lots of teams do, for freak and bullshit free kicks.
No teams do that, ever. Teams give it back if a team plays the ball out of bounds or if the ref stops the game cause someone got injured, none of that happened here.
I don't know; if it's on the line then yes. I couldn't really tell even from replay. I also think Smalling was lucky not to give away a penalty. Doesn't mean I can't be pissed off with what happened for their third.
Yeah, let's not do this.
it was right on the line, if it had been against Man Utd, the ref would have not called pk, also possibly make up call for the 3rd goal

How does the ref call that where he is positioned, when in doubt dont give it. no?
Either way it was stupid of De Marcos to raise his hand like that for no apparent reason
He must have felt pressured especially after bilbao scored the 3rd after the foul he gave.
I still think United can turn it around, we've been better away than at home this season and hopefully we get some players back like valencia and cleverly
Yeah they def can turn it around, I mean is still United, we have been strong at home this season but well.. Rooney, Nani is still scary lol. They didn't do much today and they still scored two goals.

You want Javi Martinez anyways. But I'm certainly hoping he stays with Athletic Club.
Good detective work. It was her IMDB write-up that sold me. Talented lass. It's a shame I found her in a show where she is supposed to slut it up.
Ugh, painful loss at Old Trafford. ): Bilbao played a lot better though, no doubt, at least from the first half I watched before leaving for work.
I have been liking Llorente ever since the World Cup, I liked the Villa-Llorente couple a lot more than shoehorned Torres who never clicked with Villa.
Also, liking how Bielsa is making Bilbao play, but I'm kinda thinking that either he or other players will leave Athletic by the end of the season.

I can see City going for Martinez in the Summer.
I definitely wouldn't say no.
I'll settle for getting back to Super Tom, Valencia, Nani, Rooney, Welbeck, Chicha taking care of the final third. Midfield in the larger sense is not going to be solved this season.
he lost his shoe before, not immediately
I am having trouble finding video of le incident.
yeah he is in a few lists, and so is Llorente and Muniain I am sure. They are all under contract for now, I believe Martinez is tied until 2016 LLorente is the urgent issue to get him under contract this summer.
Also, those that want to go after these players, we do not tend to negotiate so I believe Martinez buy out clause is 40mill euro, which I understand is change to City but also needs to convince the player to leave.
In before MPW.

I could see these guys staying with a club that has a promising future and a good core of young players. But that could be the idealist inside me.
Well it wouldn't be the first time it happens for us. Guerrero stayed his whole career and so did Etxeberria and they were both targets for Barcelona, Ac Milan and Madrid at different times. So yeah I am hopeful. How can you not want to stay at a club that makes Old Trafford sound like playing at home lol
I'd never doubt those money spending whores. I'm sure they will sign 1 or 2 players that I admire. *sigh*

Man, you should see how bad the people are online in FIFA 12 when you do custom matches. When I'm trying out a new team (such as Athletic Club) I always go there, and the competition is so bad. lol
Don't worry, ManU always gets the penalties though. I saved it! And he quits...the game was an unranked match lol!

I want them to keep Barry and Nasri for the lulz. And De Jong because he's a dirty so and so.
I thought about it, but I reckon they'd be better off getting rid.
