Taylor Swift

I still need time to recover if that match pops up on the tv. It's impossible to watch anything after 3-3. One of the worst feelings I've ever felt was just switching channels and seeing the match was on, it was 3-3, but I couldn't change the channel. There's some twisted attraction to watching that 4th goal and feeling like shit all over again. Probably my most hated game because most of my mates are Liverpool fans as well.

I'm with Johnny here.

Bale did look class in the game. His drivings run, even from he was shifted to LB, really caused trouble for Manyoo. And of course his set-pieces from both sides were quality. The boy has a big future ahead of him, that's for sure.

FT. Spurs played really well in the second half. Personally thought they deserved at least a point especially with the clear penalty and all. Good result for us though with them still being stuck on 3 points after 4 matches.

Was a penalty before that. It was blatant for me. But of course, this is Old Trafford we're talking about... a penalty for the away team is unheard of.

Hopefully we'll win this one but a draw wouldn't be too bad if the performance is decent. What everyone should be concerned about is the performance, which hopefully won't be too defensive.

What if a player is tackled outside the area but kind of stumbles and then falls a yard or two in the penalty area? Would that be a free-kick outside the area or a penalty?

Has anyone considered the fact that we might get drawn to play away in every cup game next season? Still, even if that happens, you won't lose a thing because the cost will be equivalent to paying for two season tickets. I think this is a smart idea to try and get more people to show up at our home cup matches, whether they're against Barnsley or whoever. It's a good scheme which will hopefully make the atmosphere at our home matches better.

Finishing 5th is hardly an achievement when you've spent twice as much as everybody outside the top 4 clubs. The board backed him last summer yet he managed to finish further away from the top 4 than the previous season and it doesnt look like he's improved the squad this season either. Can anyone explain what Martin Jol is actually good at that makes people rate him because as far as i can see it's not squad building, tactics, substitutions or man management. Jol's spent fuck all. It's Comolli who's been spending the money. The left side of midfield is quite baffling but the Taraabt kid looks exciting.

Ref has now said (via the 4th official) that no card was given to Essien, the only card that was given was to JT. But, what is someone suppose to think when the ref shows a yellow card to Essien's face and Essien reacts by placing his hands above his head in disbelief, and then proceeds to give a card to John Terry half a minute later. What an idiot referee.

he's given Essien two yellows but he's still on the pitch!

Rob Styles thinking he's the main attraction, again. What an idiot.

Gerrard aint bad at diving either. But this guy takes it to a new level. Cue the media going mental at him over the next few weeks, and rightly so. He didn't dive for the penalty though. I don't think he even appealed for it.

Never in a month of Sundays I did say it was dodgy man. I don't agree with the decision but from the ref's viewpoint, he would have noticed a nudge and wouldn't have been able to judge how hard it was because of the angle that he was viewing it from. That's why I said I can see why the ref might have thought it was a penalty.

the reaction by Mourinho and Rafa. You can barely tell whose team had just scored.

1-1

Penalty Chelsea. Quite dodgy but I can see what the ref might be thinking.

Nelsen sent off. Arsenal have a free kick in front of the penalty area. Over the bar from Fabregas.

Torres being a cunt, again.

Brilliant finish by Torres, the cunt.

Get in City! Dunne and Richards was brilliant. Can't believe the boy's only 19!!! Just texted my Manyoo mate '1>0 and 4>2'

Looks very very composed.

Was Tevez bitten by a vampire or what?!

What we need in midfield. How many games have you seen him? Let me guess.. three games? Seen him play well for Brazil against the Argies. Also seen him play for Santos. Thanks. Then I apologize. First time I heard about him was when Citeh signed him. He does look like a quality buy so far but as usual, I think people need to calm down and not rush to judge a player based on a couple of games (though this is not the case with you). We've all seen how players who've succeeded in other leagues can struggle when they first move to the Premiership (Luque-tastic), which is why posts like 'He's what we need' is frustrating to read, but each to their own I suppose.

City only really started playing well after they scored, which is good enough from me for now Hoping they won't come out on the defensive in the second half though because Manyoo and Tevez especially looks like he could explode. If Micah Richards wasn't in the right position on both the times that Tevez got through we would be looking at a whole different ballgame.
