There still seems to be those out there who like to refer to Chelsea as Chelski.

So I wondered what names would you give to the others,

Arsenal, American and russian owned.

Liverpool, American.

Man utd, American.

Man city, Abu Dhabi (uae).

Tottenham, English. :shock:

Oh and not to forget,

Blackburn Rovers, Venkys (india).

They don't even attempt to hide it anymore, it's sickening the decisions they get.

But its not just at Old Trafford is it? There's been a number of important, but bad decions, or non-decisions in a number of the games over Easter - especially at The Bridge, Anfield and as said, Old Trafford (inevitably).

And as I write, a terrible challenge by Balotelli on Song wasn't even punished. :?

Oh well, Balotteli was sent of in due course, no surprise there really! :roll:

The Arse deserved their win today, but it does appear that City are in meltdown and have completely lost their way - too much infighting methinks? A better manager would have wrapped up the title in what is clearly a mediocre premiership and I can't see Mancini staying. As the special one has already ruled himself out, it could be mind-boggling to learn who the richest club in the World bring in?

Have to be honest and admit for purely selfish reasons, that I was hoping for a draw or City win, which I thought they would get, but lets not talk IKTS! :(

As for the rest of Easter, well I'm dreading the game at less than neighbourly Craven Cottage tomorrow evening. They love nothing better than getting one over us and I think they might succeed! :cuss:

Its us or Spurs! :twisted:

And Mark Hughes weighs in against the refs.....

BBC call it a foul, it was a blatant dive. Now, imagine that was certain other players, it wouldn't be glossed over like that.

It infuriates me.

All the problems with MC seemed to start when the talk/plans to bring Tevez back into the lineup started. It probably would have been best to just leave the guy to his golf and travels for the rest of the season. Pete :cheers:

Shocking decision by Mason.....true.....but I dont think it really changed the course of the game.
Posession was 79%-21% in Uniteds favour before Derry was sent off.
Just a question of when and how many Man United would score.

But which 2 out of 4 teams for the drop ? Its impossible to call.QPR look the best team but have the hardest run in.For Bolton,Blackburn and Wigan they are all so inconsistent.
I'm assuming Wolves are doomed,of course.

Anyway,well done Arsenal !! :cheers: :cheers:

There are some of us who have always said thet a group of superstars don`t necessarily make a team. (poor old $ami Na$ri left to win trophies, shame). Mancini has come to the end of his tether with that mentally subnormal specimen, Balotelli, and said he can no longer do anything for or with him.

Poor decisions by both the ref & lino.
Offside quite clearly & an exaggerated tumble from Young :roll:

Not sure your % stats hold much sway considering it was only the first 15 mins & after the pen they only scored one more :?



I think the dinosaurs at the various FA's need to look at the logic behind this particular ruling.
Like many instances before, Derry gets a red card for denying a goal scoring opportunity, yet a minute later rooney gets to take a penalty :? :?
How clear a goal scoring opportunity do you need!!!! :shock:

The red card should really only apply if the offence happens outside of the area imo.

It's a proper dogfight for survival & hard to predict.
I'm just glad Wolves are going down after their treatment of McCarthy, with him in charge they may have had a chance of survival.
Anyway,well done Arsenal !! :cheers: :cheers:
You're welcome :D :cheers:
