He could mean the way Ramsey and Eduardo rolled around after having their legs broken maybe.

It will be tough for Arsenal but with Pique and Puyol missing from the centre of defence this gives Arsenal a much better chance. You can get 5/1 on the draw and 8/1 on an Arsenal win - the bookies are usually right but those odds look generous.


Would like to see Arsenal go through, knocking the favourites out gives all the English teams a much better chance of winning.

Really? I'd be embarrassed if we had a player constantly behaving like Nani does, throwing his toys out of his pram like spoilt little brat when things don't go his way. First Ronaldo and now Nani. Aren't you embarrassed by that? And to accuse us of xenophobia is out of order.

It was a very poor challenge by Carragher and he should have been off but Nani's reaction was pathetic. I'm sure Fergie took a very dim view of it too.

And where did anyone say anything at all about his nationality?


Xenophobia

?noun

an unreasonable fear or hatred of foreigners or strangers or of that which is foreign or strange.


Well, to be fair, Nani's reaction was strange, but I'm not sure that makes any of us Xenophobic, and I'm damned sure that's not what you meant anyway.


Absolutely fecking stupid comment Narnia.

Ok enough already. We all agree the challenge was poor and deserving of a red card. Nani will be up and about in next to no time. God alone knows what would have happened if a united player ended up with a broken leg.

Keef in my experience is one the most decent fellas on here so lets not start slinging muck around that has no basis.

An article

Another one


I'm posting these in response to the huge amount of crap written which was focused on a foreign player who could have had his leg broken (but as he has other habits we don't like, lets forget that), and the little or nothing said about an English player who nearly caused it to happen.


Don't tell me that if Nani was English he would get the same treatment. He wouldn't in my opinion.

So based on your opinion, which you have absolutely no evidence to back up, you're labelling people as xenophobic?


Sorry Narnia, but that is absolutely fucking stupid!


EVERYONE on here, Liverpool fan or not, said Carra should have been sent off for a really bad tackle. There was not a lot else to say on the matter. Nani's reaction was a much bigger talking point, wherever he's from.


You've basically called me, and maybe others on here, racist, and that is bang out of order, and I think you should have a word with yourself!

I know the difference thanks, but your implication is a bit dirtier than that.


You've read a couple of articles, which make some good points. However, from that, you decide that any football fan, saying anything negative about a foreign player (even if he has acted badly), is being xenophobic.


Perhaps your claims would hold more water, if you had said that everyone was having a go at Raphael for his challenge, but defending Carragher, as they were similar incidents (as was the case with Holloway having a go at Houllier, and not Dalglish). However, everyone was in agreement that they were both in the wrong.


The Nani thing was an altogether different incident. People said he acted poorly (which he did), and I took the piss out of the crying a bit (so what).


I'll tell you what, if there is a similar incident with an English player, and I don't take the piss, or have a go about it, then perhaps you can say I have some sort of double standards, or am indeed xenophobic.


Until then, you just come over as someone who has read an article, learnt a new word, and thrown it at the first possible incident you could, even though it doesn't work at all in that context. Well done.

I'm not so sure Nani is actually the biggest cheat at Old Trafford. I think Rooney takes some beating with his theatrics none more so than the dive against Sol Campbell back in 2004 to win a penalty then just when you thought he'd show embarrassment he celebrated it!

    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.
