It was a freekick. City rarely complain about ref's decision but this time they surrounded him, 6-7 players as well. Swansea were incredibly lucky.

:lol

Seriously? I have no idea whether it was or wasn't but that's not great logic..

 

[Salazar]

Deffo pen. Young has been murdering.

England battering France in the rugby.

 

[Empty]

quality pen rooney

now come the fuck on swansea

 

[The Friendly Monster]

Get in. Get the fuck in, now come on Swansea.

 

[Slizz]

Cool as you like.

 

[TeegsD]

Why would you do that. Punish them Wazza!


2-0!!!

 

[Vivalaraza]

Dem FF points piling up.

27 points goals for the season for Rooney.

Get Pog on now.

 

[kharma45]

2-0 up with a 1 man advantage. Make some changes and give Cleverly, Pogba and Berbatov a run-out.

Edit - Here he comes! HYPE!

 

[WJD]

26 for the season now for Rooney, 20 in the league.

 

[K1LLER7]

fergie should put pogba on

edit: and he does

 

[GorillaJu]

Bad penalty to give away. Barely even touched him but then again it's Ashley Young. He knows how to win a foul.

 

[Wilbur]

It was hard to tell whether that was a penalty, hand on the back was innocuous but that was neck action I couldn't really see.

Manager, you're becoming a parody of yourself, Jesus.

 

[Salazar]

Pog !!!!

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

UNLEASH THE POGBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Empty]

pogba activated

bodes well

 

[Rad-]

The Pog!

 

[LegoArmo]

POGBA!

 

[Slizz]

OHHHH SHITTTTTT

 

[Brinbe]

Pogba!

 

[TeegsD]

POGBA!!!!

 

[WJD]

Pogba on?

He's signed! Now I can say he's good again!

 

[Vivalaraza]

If Pogba scores this thread will explode. Salazar got your tissues ready?

 

[GorillaJu]

Ferguson bending to the will of an 18 year old? Demanding more first team play with one of the biggest teams in the world and getting it. Wow.

 

[Stubo]

Haha, I had to come in just for the GAF reaction. Pogbaaaa!

That penalty was so well taken, Rooney's been on it today.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Lunchbox]

ZINEDINE POGBA !

 

[Spinning Plates]

Swansea are back to having more of the possesion since the foul on Balotelli.

Think we need to make a change soon. Pizarro or AJ on.

 

[KidA Seven]

 

[Tim the Wiz]

Pogba on for Scholes? Must be saving Cleverley for Athletic.

 

[Manager]

In my world unicorn = sweetcorn, it doesn't make it so if I just say stupid things like that.

That's a fucking ridiculous thing to say, how can an accidental coming together of legs mean kicked down? ASSASSIN SWANSEA

When I watch English commentary they often say "X was kicked down by Y" in exactly the same situations. It doesn't have to be a Ryu Shouruken kick, the force from the legs can mean the same.

Brought/kicked/whatever, it was a freekick.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Every Pogba touch is being cheered! Awesome!

 

[WJD]

Every Pogba touch is being cheered! Awesome!

Crowd making sure he feels wanted I guess!

 

[Anderson]

Come on Rooney just one more and it'll be the perfect weekend

I think the phrase you're looking for is 'a tangle of legs', and even then calling that incident that is pushing it by a huge margin.

 

[Salazar]

Clutch header from Evans.

 

[K1LLER7]

Pogba on for Scholes? Must be saving Cleverley for Athletic.

cleverly and ando hopefully

 

[The Friendly Monster]

Jonny Evans has been excellent today.

 

[Charles]

Ah, that's why Elia doesn't play.

Del Piero on

 

[ColR100]

City starting to loose it a little, giving fouls away all over the pitch. Dat mentality.

This is probably the day they lost the league if they fail to win here. Their run in is horrendous compared to ours.

 

[Slizz]

Jonny Evans has been excellent today.

He has been surprisingly competent this season.

 

[WJD]

Clutch header from Evans.

He's well and truly back in 08/09 form.

Okay it has to be said since you've mentioned "Shouruken kick" twice, it's Shoryuken, which is dragon punch, not a kick.

Secondly, it does matter what phrasing you use, and no native English speaker is ever going to say "kicked him down" unless it was some kind of brutal, studs-flying challenge.

And stop being such a hypocrite.

shitting themselves

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

OMG CLEVERLEY ON TOO!!!

SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE FOR SALAZAR!!!!

 

[Salazar]

Tom <3

No, it's not the same. It's like saying the Kompany red card against United you all so massively protested against was definitely a red card because minimal contact and maximum contact means the same thing.

It's about context. There was an accidental clipping of heels that probably should have resulted in a free kick. However it looks ridiculous when you respond with THE SWANSEA DEFENCE ARE AS BAD AS THE NAZIS AND HE KICKED HIM IN THE GUT AND TOLD HIM HIS MUM WAS UGLY etc. etc. It really wasn't that bad. At all.

 

[kharma45]

He has been surprisingly competent this season.

I don't get this surprise at Evans being good. He had one bad season and at 4 other very good ones.

 

[WJD]

Super Tom AND Pogba on the same pitch?

*swoon*

 

[K1LLER7]

pogba cleverly on the same pitch

 

[The Friendly Monster]

Pogba and Clevergod?

Amazing.
