Atkinson gave it. Spurs players were trying to get him to go over and speak to the lino iirc.
Can't blame the assistant, too many bodies in the way (massive bundle in the goal). He couldn't and didn't make the call.
I have no doubt. Just annoys me when people generalise others on actions like that. Already been called a ¨load of bastards¨ on Facebook. Pisses me off.
Aye. this will fire up Liverpool if nothing else. And we always fail against Dalglish it seems. Gonna be very tight.

Anyone who has FM 2012 can you tell me how to delete a User manager? I accidently added two of the same managers. One with a team and one without :/

Retire the one you don't need. It's under your name tag somewhere.
Should be a cracking day! Looking forward to the match already - just the formality of Barcelona before then.

Udinese & Di Natale to look after Morosini's sister
That is so great.
What a horrible realisation.
That is so great.
Either Steven Gerrad or John Terry will be lifting that trophy.
What a horrible realisation.

Cheers I shall check once I get smashed by the mighty Chelsea!
Same.
In a way I feel having a derby in the Semi will have really gone a long way to prepare the players. The intensity of that game, and what it means for everyone at the club was unbelievable. I know I'll feel a hell of a lot calmer come the Final than I was the Semi, and I've got to imagine some of that will transfer to the players. That and the fact we've already played a final at Wembley this season.
We've got West Brom next, last league game I'm going to before I return to Uni. Will feel good driving to the ground with my mates instead of getting a fuck off train journey on my own.
I wonder which one will make the world smile more?

Penis Manager doesn't fit this thread. If any game fits this thread, it's probably football Manager
edit: but rest assured I didn't mean screenshot overload, just one of me buying Joe Cole for Man City

Wow. Antonio Di Natale has taken guardianship of the disabled sister of Morosini.

I'd be Everton; start off rather poorly leading you to believe that it's really not all it's cracked up to be before finishing strong and people realising the values of a powerful ginger head
disclaimer: i have dark hair
Kermit would be Liverpool; spending lots of money on a pretty young thing only to fail miserably to get up and instead blowing your load in a cup
LOL
that was a bit funneh
That was rather good.
Garth Crooks on Rafael:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17723923
Also when I see the name at the top of his column it fucking irritates me every time; why does it say Garth Crooks's? Surely it's Crooks'?

Garth Crooks is a terrible pundit IMO.
Rafael was quite good today, he's been better this year, getting more consistent, still makes some silly mistakes but he's getting the right mix between attacking and defending. Filling out has helped him alot.

Yes lol. Since we've moved to Community I hardly even look elsewhere actually.
Yes. I hardly post in other threads. The Batman one and will post a few times in the Tarantino one, and if there's a Bob Dylan thread lying around there will be semen residue everywhere from me, but apart from that...
I only joined GAF because I was looking for a good football thread and this was one where a bunch of fans would come. I used to be on the Empire Magazine forums before I was banned and that was shite. You'd get about 5 people in the sports section.
As far as I know the rule is you do the "s'" if it's plural as in the boys' car (car belonging to the boys) but the "s's" if it is someone's name like Charles's wife.
I always say Jesus' disciples. I've been doing it wrong
To clarify, I don't walk around saying Jesus' disciples. I mean if it came up in conversation

What's the point in being a pundit if you're just going to say 'I don't rate him but somebody better qualified than me does rate him, so he must be good.' Not that he's much of a pundit anyway, the tit. He's better at discussing gang-warfare than he is football

OK. I just googled it and according to the first result older classical names are often done with the "s'". The example actually uses Jesus. You're in the clear!
YEAH TAKE THAT FUCK YOU JESUS
I think I'll try to keep my GAF browsing to a minimum for the next 2 weeks. I have exams and I'm way behind on my preparation.
Also Wayne Rooney had his worst game for United in a while. I thought he was shockingly poor. His first touch was awful and he misplaced too many passes. He nad an awful game today. He hasn't been in great form for a while either.
We need him playing at his best if we want to guarantee the title.

Yeah I have exams at the end of the month. After the semi finals this week I'll try and restrict my browsing. Got an exam on the day of the Manchester Derby, hopefully I ace it.
Which reminds me, I should read something
Rooney was bad in the half hour I caught, but scored a goal. Go figure. He did seem lazy, but Fergie had it spot on. Hopefully it's a wake up call. 31 goals is a great return though, 3 off his best.

Rafael is a hero forever and a day just for this. Still remember his game against Aalborg, was like his 2nd appearance for us, looked good that day and I was excited from then. Coming good now.
Rooney was good in the first half hour. Was linking up with Carrick very nicely. I don't know what's up with Rooney, I think Chriswok summarised it best. He just seems so within himself. I want him to score a 30 yard volley or something.
Don't know what you guys think but, I really prefer Rooney to play as midfielder or a No.10 role rather than a striker. When he drops deep, he holds the ball well and his passing is similar to carricks and scholes. Not a big fan of him playing as the leading striker, don't think he's consistant enough to get 30+ goals a season.
