Man Utd have an average team, and an exceptional manager, with a winning attitude
City have an exceptional team, with a shite manager and a shite attitude

Danny Simpson's a prawn.
That little floated early cross he does irks me, too.
Cheekiest cunt in the PL. Shocking player who doesn't realise how lucky he is to be in the Premier League, let alone at a team that won't be fighting relegation

Someone sub David Luiz. Apparently playing 3 feet forward compared to normal means you should shoot on sight!! Idiot. Play the ball and move it around.
Either way, the right decision was made so it's probably time to just drop it.
u filth

I honestly think Chelsea could win the league. City and Man Utd will drop enough points, its not exactly La Liga
Far too common. No on ever wants to shoot now. Baffling.City playing tiki-taka in their box. Typical.
Balotelli and Dzeko at least aren't afraid to pull the trigger.
Now you're just acting childish.Anywhere that's not inherently team centric, so no RAWK or RedCafe, or Twitter, or even GAF.
We'll go off Guardian, MOTD, and BBC. Best of three.
I'm getting worked up with you, not anyone else, I'm enjoying discussing it.
I'll just ignore you in future.
Good goal by Evra, he's been ridiculous recently.
You're a decent poster usually, so I find you behavior a bit puzzling tbh.

No chance. Fat Spanish waiter in charge

He must know someone in the stands (at both ends of the pitch) because he's putting it twenty rows deep every time he shoots.
Max Power scores for Tranmere. What a name.
Dad was a hairdryer salesmen. True story.

But we're just as liable.

It may be ridiculous to say that anyone who isn't a United crony would call it an illegitimate goal, but it's also daft to suggest that only a hater would call it legit.
You're giving Jonny Evans two choices here:
Either play to the whistle as we've always encouraged, which results in him making an unfortunate play on the ball due to the offside position of the defender behind him.
or,
Pull a Fabian Barthez, standing there with your hand up like a twat as the ball trickles through to Cisse who tucks it in, and hoping the officials back you up by making the correct call.
Neither option is good for the defender.
Arsenal fan, btw.

The 3 of you are a bit rubbish, if Roman/Rafa gets the January transfers right, its a possibility imo

Chelsea are just as liable to making a balls of things.
Although on paper they have a better team than United.

City should have offered Van Persie £300,000 a week, judging by their strikers' displays this season

Had a similar situation a few years ago with Koscielny getting a toe to a ball in an attempt to deflect it from reaching Saha, who was about five yards offside (though Koscielny couldn't have known that). He didn't get a solid touch to the pass and it trickled through to Saha, who then scored. It was a big deal at the time, and ended with Graham Poll coming out and explaining why it shoudl've stood. So I guess by the letter of the law, the ref in this game did the right thing.
I still think it's outrageous. His presence in an offside position undoubtedly affected the defender's decision to go for the ball.
Hmm, I'd like to have seen that goal. In the Bundesliga even the slightest movement of an offside player towards the goal or keeper activates the offside and goals (own or not) are not given - or at least that's I gather from remembering some situations.
And it does make sense if you look at the rules:
http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/generic/81/42/36/lawsofthegame_2010_11_e.pdf (p. 100)In the context of Law 11 – Offside, the following definitions apply:
• “nearer to his opponents’ goal line” means that any part of a player’s
head, body or feet is nearer to his opponents’ goal line than both the
ball and the second-last opponent. The arms are not included in this
definition
• “interfering with play” means playing or touching the ball passed or
touched by a team-mate
• “interfering with an opponent” means preventing an opponent
from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing
the opponent’s line of vision or movements or making a gesture or
movement which, in the opinion of the referee, deceives or distracts an
opponent
• “gaining an advantage by being in that position” means playing a ball
that rebounds to him off a goalpost or the crossbar having been in an
offside position or playing a ball that rebounds to him off an opponent
having been in an offside position
But yeah, I guess the ref decided that Cisse's influence was negligible.

This game is awesome, lol

Gorgeous goal by Cisse. Nice cross by Obertan.
LolLooks like we didn't turn up for the second half. Fuck football.
