Merson the Muppet

[ChicagoBlue]

Daily Star, 28th January 2012

WHAT Mario Balotelli did to Scott Parker was disgraceful and he should have been banned for even longer than four games.

He could have taken Parker’s eye out, stamping on his head like that. Only he will know if it was deliberate.

But it didn’t look good to me – or to ­Manchester City either, otherwise they would have appealed.

For me, referee Howard Webb should be banned as well. He was standing right in line with it when it happened and didn’t give anything.

I find it hard to believe he didn’t see it. That seems very strange to me. But it’s only Balotelli who’s getting banned.

(Blah, Blah, Blah)

That stamp was out of order and if he keeps doing things like that it could end up costing City the title.

So, Merson thinks it was disgraceful, should have been banned for more than four games, but he states he has NO IDEA if it was deliberate?! What an idiot!

Then, to end the article, he calls it a "stamp"?!

So, I guess Merson is phoning it in these days, and is too crazy to understand even what HE THINKS!?!

What a bunch of gutter "journalism" about a week after it was a story!!

I hope Mario comes back and gets that extra goal against United, just so he can have the hat trick! Maybe a penalty? Yeah, a 95th minute penalty to win the Premiership!!

The stamp didn't look good and if deliberate it was a stupid thing to do.It certainly looks deliberate but i noticed something nobody has picked up on.As he is landing Modric pushes him in the back,causing him to lose balance.I think he kicked out at that rather than trying to do Parker.Still stupid though given his reputation and the way refs seem to have it in for us.

That is 7 games missed this season through suspension,almost a fifth of the season and no team can afford a player in their ranks that continues in that vein,no matter how good.

But yes Merson is a prick,why re hash it?It is over,he is serving the ban,end of.

Nobody in the media maybe,but it has been pointed out on here many times by many posters.

Merson saying Webb should be banned for not giving anything,he didn't give anything because he didn't see it,if he had watched the video properly he would know this.

Actually only 5 as the two yellows ( unjust by Dowd ) meant only a one game ban

5 games missed. And I am sure that certain players in that great Arsenal team had more than their fair share of reds.

Does anyone really give a toss what Merson thinks?

For someone that hits his wife, gambles away all his families money and assets, drives while pissed potentially causing death or injury to anyone unlucky to come across him, he throws around the word disgraceful fairly easily.
