Rashford dont interfering play. Still boils my blood this. 100% cheating by the ref

Being awarded a penalty after the full time whistle had been blown at Brighton. Only seems to happen for the rags.

I went to the league game where city and Burnley drew 2-2, Bradbury actually scored, I thought we were in a parallel universe.

Badbuy scored in a pre season friendly with Burnley just after we signed him

This was the worst decision I have seen on a pitch. Worse even than Courtney and Kevin Reeves. The Rags fans knew it was a bent decision. They were laughing about it.

What is your most unhinged football take, the take that has your mates headshaking? For me it is this:

Maradonna's goal in 1986 was not that good

I said it. That is because a) pretty much nobody challenged him until he was in the box, so that makes it like every other goal, not the false description that he rounded the whole team from the halfway line, and b) it was actually an own goal because Terry Butcher got the last touch.

Judge me if you will, but that's my piece. How about yours?

Ricky Villa's solo goal against us in the 81 final was hugely overrated. Rank bad defending, no one put in a challenge. And the c**t reduced a 10 year old me to tears.

John Barnes' goal against Brazil was ban average, He didn't dribble past anyone. He just ran at the side of them.

A bit like Yaya's goal against Villa.

A bit like Yaya's goal against Villa.

Yaya's goal against Villa didn't happen for the 25,000 "loyal supporters" who had already fucked off home.

I was thinking about this the other day, still can't believe it was allowed.

Yea its impossible for a pl ref not to give off side, impossible. The linesman was a world cup final linesman yet bizarrely the ref over ruled him.

Late to this and not much to add other than being a complete pedant. And for that I apologise in advance. But, it wasn't an OG. Maradona scored it. There's a newer angle that proves it. There's a video on YouTube called something like 'Maradona goal new angle'.

Apologies if someone has already posted this.

Also, it was a great goal IMO. Especially as it was played on long grass. That Giggs one in the FA Cup though: He just ran in a straight line and no one challenged him.

Rags losing over 300 million over 3 years where the PL PSR losses is capped at 105 million over 3 years yet unlike Forest, Everton etc, they somehow did not fail PSR. Corruption at the very highest level.

I watch that every FA Cup and still scream at Tommy Caton to put him into touch.

I was 9yo

I've seen those figures before and can't help wondering if they are accurate. Why would Forest and Everton, and others under investigation, not make a fuss about preferential treatment for the rags if they are correct?

Football would be a lot better if it went back to how it was in the early 90s.
If you won the league you went into the European Cup
2nd, 3rd and 4th went into the UEFA Cup
FA Cup Winners played in the Cup Winners Cup

There was a match on TV on a Sunday afternoon and one on a Monday night.

International football involved teams being drawns into groups of 5 or 6 and the top 2 qualifying for tournaments.
No nations league or complicated play off systems, or allowing 48 teams into world cups or Euros.

David Beckham wasn't that good a footballer. Dead ball specialist with great PR.

Nobody else seems to be able to see it.

I always said it. Great crosser of the ball. I can’t remember many times when he took a player on.

 

[normskih]

I'm with you. But we're not in the minority, many many people say the same: that he was overrated and hyped up beyond belief. He was a pretty good player, you don't play for Real Madrid and get as many caps as he did without having something. But because he was a rag he was put on a pedestal for all to worship when he really did not deserve such adulation.
The ginger pig was an okay-ish player, but another over-hyped player because of who he played for. Had he been at any other club he would not have been able to get away with what he did, he was a nasty fucker who would happily cripple an opponent and snigger about it afterwards.

What did Steve McManaman have then?;)

Because the rags use Red Football Ltd books for the pl

The Portuguese Ronaldo is nowhere near being the best ever, lots better than him.
Yes, his stats are great but that's what happens when you spend half a career as a goal hanging ****

 

[Bigg Bigg Blue]

When Paul Dickov scored THAT goal at Wembley it takes a deflection off the defender otherwise it wouldn't have gone in the net.

 

[Milesvk]

And and and ……he was a great striker. For us, 9 goals. Wow.

The game against top of the league Fulham, he was prime Zidane.
