matthew123 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Well done Robbie Keane involved in all 4 goals for Spurs tonight - and turning in the kind of tap in against 'Boro that Dirk Kuyt failed to convert, against same team, last weekend. Funnily enough most of the strikers Rafa has offloaded in recent seasons seem to be more lethal in the penalty box than the man they left behind.. Dirk Kuyt.Not sure why that is.

Atila Reincarnate Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 On the subject of the ugliest players ever to walk the face of the earth:1. The Neville Brothers2. Martin Keown3. Luke Chadwick4. Ian Dowie5. Rio Ferdinand6. Charlie George7. Chopper HarrisThat'll do for now.On the subject of last nights gamesHow did Lucas Neil manage to stay on the pitch last night? Ronaldo - yes Taylor caught him by hooking him around the neck, but was there a sniper in the stand? The best highlights last night were the Man City game, best goal was Carlton Cole, both for execution and lead up play, great goal. Can someone please tell me why Fergie still refuses to talk to MOTD, is he still perpetuating some petty grudge from god knows when, even 'Onest 'Arry has kissed and made up with the BEEB.

???? Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I thibk the Neil and Parker were both lucky to stay on the pitch...I think Cole was unlucky to go...I think Newcastle are in the doo doo.I think Fergie does now sometimes speak to MOTD but he has a grudge over them about their agent exposure panorama which included his son...Old bagpuss Redknpapp (Kerchiiiing, another wing on my mansion in Sandbanks) just can't resist spouting off to the media...

red devil Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I think Parker's histrionics were hilarious, had it been Ronaldo we would never had heard the last of it...great goal by Cole by the way and he shouldn't have been sent off, whereas Neill and Parker should've. As has been said before referee Atwell is not all he's cracked up to be, the lower divisions beckon...

Atila Reincarnate Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Parkers histrionics were matched by Ronaldo going down clutching his face even when he had been hooked around the neck, which apparently led to handbags in tunnel at half time with Ronnie calling Taylor a rubbish player ( fair comment) and Taylor calling Ronnie ugly & spotty (touche)The thing is with Ronnie is that he has built up a bit of reputation for histrionics and simulation (stupid phrase) over the past few years so he's only got himself to blame.

Sandperson Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Haven't seen the highlights yet but according to the radio commentary Ronaldo made a lot of it but it was red card. Suprise, suprise Matthew hasn't been on yet talking about the injustices of referees decisions towards United. Now, where's that flying pig?Good result last night and still on course for the league so that's nice. All the other stuff is just gravy!
