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!

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
