But he nearly caused a riot. He's caused Mancini problems since he stepped in the door.
He never stops screwing up. He hasn't stopped acting like a spoilt little brat since he got here and he's caused nothing but problems since.
What he did was another childish action and it was very lucky that there was no reaction by the FA.
You are talking rubbish... if he did nothing wrong, how can he have nearly caused a riot... he celebrated - he didnt run to the united fans and celebrate (like Evra did when Rooney scored at OT) did our players grab hold of the little shit and start throwing him about?? No they didnt... the Rags have little or no class, they cant take losing, they cant take banter - so why shouldnt we, after so many years of taking shit off them, throw some back?
Your posts are like we shouldnt be happy to beat our biggest rivals on one of the biggest stages we can? I ask why shouldnt we? Its nothing to do with being small time, we arent and even in our darkest times been a small club, we are a big club, and if we arent i would like you to name 10 bigger, even when we were in Div 2, we have just not performed as we should have. Its a very raggy thing to do go on about us being small time, only arrogant twats think that if you arent one of the biggest in the world you must therefore be small. I'm quite tall at 6'3" that doent mean everyone shorter than me is a dwarf, but thats how Rags think, if you arent as big as us you must be mickey mouse. Also you should have some respect for those who have been waiting a life time for just a glimmer of success (asked me 10 years ago i would have done just about anything for us to reach a semi at Wembley, let alone win it against that lot) i never thought we would play a meaningful game there is my life time... so if you think we shouldnt celebrate or be happy, well you either arent a blue or have no idea what it is to be blue.
And if they didnt care about us, why did Wio et al react as they did, why was Scholes gobbing off that we arent their rivals, why did they kick in the dressing room... Wio reacted as he hates losing esp to us, Scholes gobs off about us because he is from greater Manchester and knows how much it means (lets face it if you arent bothered by something you dont talk about it) and they kicked the dressing room apart because they were bothered...
Something of your posts screems Rag... and i thought we were trying to get rid of those[/quote][/quote][/quote]
Technically he did nothing wrong, but what he did almost caused a riot. Look at the reactions.
And it wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't Balotelli. He's been nothing but trouble and problems follow him around. He needs to learn that his actions and stupity have consequences. He doesn't give a shit about the club and he doesn't know the history, what he did was to stirr and cause shit, and more problems for Mancini. And that is the last thing we need. That said he has that little impact on the field that maybe him being suspended is actually a positive impact on the team.
I didn't say we shouldn't be happy. All I'm saying is that we keep on trying to convince everyone that we aren't a small club , and I never said we were, but that's how the media and RAGs and everyone else have been saynig. So we actually walk the walk but the actions of the fans tell a completley different story. And we're back full circle.
Like I said, win/lose, they wouldn't still be going on about it 4 days later.
While a lot of people on here, looking at the reactions, are acting like we've won the Premiership. Never mind the fact that we still haven't won the FA Cup.
And again I never said that they weren't bothered, at the time, they were, and the Balotelli incident only annoyed them more. My point was and still is that they're over it. They've the Premiership and the CL, and a lot of bigger things to worry about than us.
Reality is that if someone asked would we swop in the morning, it would have meant we lost to the RAGS but we'd be top of the table and in the CL semi final with an excellent chance of winning both, there would be no hesitiations.
Without question they'd have picked to sacrifice the FA Cup time and time again if it meant winning one or both of the other two competitions.
So they've bigger things to worry about than us.
Yet we seem to be wasting a hell lot of time worrying about them.
While for me that time could be spend worrying about our next game or the final, because people on here seem to have forgotten that we actually haven't won anything yet.
You think I'm a RAG because I'm not celebrating like we've won the CL. Nothing is won in April.
At the end of the day my point was while we think it's great that we won, and it is, we've come a long way. They're not hurting as much as we imagine as they've much bigger things to worry about and look forward to.
Now if we stopped them winning the Premiership, than it would kill them. But in reality the FA Cup isn't high on their list.
And if we were in their position it wouldn't be our priority either.
