[Stockton Heath Blue]

Rooney needs to be called out for this conspiracy theory bollocks that QPR let City win. He's even admitted he's never watched the game either. We were dreadful that day as the nerves and occasion got to us but you have to give credit to QPR who were outstanding and defended like tigers. And they played even better when Barton was sent off.

The exact moment QPR knew they were safe was when Nasri let the ball go out of play thinking it was a throw in to us. Lescott wins the ball back and you can clearly see the QPR fans start to celebrate. 15 seconds later Aguero scores. Most of the QPR players look devastated especially Clint Hill so I doubt most of them would of known they were safe.

If he thinks QPR fixed the match then he's a bigger fucking idiot than I thought.

Bang on. Why let the truth get in the way of a good conspiracy theory?

Without getting all benitez on everyone...here are the facts from the QPR game...

QPR only knew they stayed up literally 15 seconds before Aguero scored as that is when the Bolton game ended. Watch Mackie with his arm in the air at this point.

The keeper and defense did not know and thought they were down when the goal went in. Watch their reactions.

Kenny was their best player on the day and City had 44 shots on goal.


Rooney is deflecting as deep down he knows him and his team's arse went when leading by 8pts with 6 games to go. Bottle jobs.

United had their chance in the derby to do something but decided to park the bus instead and had 1 shot on goal 85th minute. Heads had gone at this point.

The 6-1 was the goal difference for the season in the end.


So there we have it, let them try and rewrite history but we all know how it really was as we've rewatched it back hundreds of times.

Knowing that it's still killing them after all these years absolutely pleases me.


Drink it in.

A national treasure?! Fuck me

Win 8 out of 8 group games.
No goals conceded
Tommy Tuchel showing this bighead who is boss but this fuckin dinosaur of a writer has to find the negative and will run this story either all season or when the world cup starts.
Why can't one, just one, of these shithouse journalists get behind the manager of England for once?
Obviously Tuchel being a German must wind up the national front media.

Can't say I saw the original bollocks and was thinking you were joking, oh dear...

The headline is false. Mike Dean merely says he was surprised QPR booted the ball up the piitch from the re-take after Edin's goal. Nowhere does he back the rantings of Rooney. Why wouldn't they boot the ball up the field if they were happy with a draw?

I would of been tempted of using his sex life as the comparison

 

[Platt Lane 59]

So let me get this straight, we fixed a game that was only won, and thus secured us the PL title, in the fourth minute of time added on, what if the ref had only added three minutes?

Thankfully, secret agent, Joey Barton, ensured that there was a generous amount of added time.
Am amazed the Mail (or whoever) have not mentioned and named the ex-City players in the QPR side - also Mark Hughes being their manager.
If City had pipped anyone else (apart from the Red Scousers) to the League, it would have been forgotten.
Are the Trafford Tramps trying take the "victim" trophy from someone else ?

This was my biggest worry about EV's, I ended up going hybrid and now I play the keep it on electric game, which now means I'm driving about freezing my arse off atm lol
Currently at 60 mpg, which for my lead foot style of driving is amazing :)

Am sure QPR were aggrieved that their captain was harshly sent off at Old Trafford, a couple of weeks earlier ?
But, cannot see any of their players "throwing" the match.
They were obviously ecstatic when notified they were safe, so perhaps switched off a little bit ?

 

[Earlyriser]

John cross is on Bellingham payroll no doubt! Seems there is a lot of so called high profile Journalists who say the same continually! If they watch football they don’t actually watch football to see the big big faults with Bellingham!

They don’t see we might of won a tournament if we played as a team not some individual showing off with look at me as he has the ball keeps it run around in a circle then loses it! That pass to Foden is quality he did kept it simple and passed the ball at the right time to Foden! I see Bellinghams good play I always have. Us city fans though know what a really good top quality player is now with watching pep football for 10 years!

I think there are many journalists of a certain age who know they are on borrowed time given the state of the printed media industry and therefore are quite happy to accept a 'token of appreciation'

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Except that's absolute bollocks. The interview was on The Overlap and Dean said The QPR players knew they were safe after Dzeko scored as Jamie Mackie was celebrating but the full time whistle haven't gone at Bolton game so that's a lie. Dean said he found it odd that QPR kicked the ball straight to us after the restart and he didn't agree with that fat **** who has always said Paddy Kenny allowed the goals to go in and the QPR players gave up. The City lad reminded rughead that we had 44 shots on target and Paddy Kenny had a storming game to which rughead quickly shut up

I was trying to work out what Kenny was meant to do about Dzeko's header.

The QPR fans started to celebrate 15 seconds before Aguero scores, Mackie was the closest player to them so he started to wave his hands. There no way the defence and keeper would of known they were safe. There's absolutely no way the QPR players switched off. Look at Clint Hills reaction after the goal. He's devastated

If anyone tried to cheat during the 2012 title run in, it was those red cunts ( never gets a mention though)

Why does he even care, he's not a United fan, once a blue etc. He was handsomely rewarded for his betrayal of his home City in Stretford, OK it's one less medal but why should he give a shit, United not his team they were his employers. Can't say I worry too much about the bus company I worked for, for 30 years. He had his chance to win the title at the Etihad ten days earlier and played shit. If you want to know how that title win was regarded by the rest of football think back to the crowd at Sunderland , Wayne, oooo are ye

 

[nefynblue]

Perhaps Wsyne Rooney knows a lot more about fixing football matches than he is willing to say.

Not great stammering through MOTD,which confirms everything about the BBC.Whoever signed off his "pundit" fee should be bumped off.Birmingham are only just recovering whilst Plymouth are in real danger of back to back relegations.
Another freeloader who benefits from having connections to that rancid ,entitled corporation down the road!

Also, no one mentions that Sunderland had fuck all to play for so the Sunderland players, using Rooney’s logic, were relaxed all game as opposed to the 30 seconds or so the QPR players supposedly phoned-it-in for

Maybe he regrets only winning that game 1-0 and that United could have made up the goal difference if they had believed more

 

[give it to gordon]

Granny Shagger is basically accusing fellow pros of throwing a match. Surely one of these pros could take him to court. Also he is saying QPR as a club throw the game and Mark Hughes.
