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!

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
