Have you got any BBQ sauce to go with my words?

Oldham was winning 1-0 and look like it going to be huge win for Latics but in 93rd mins Crewe equaliser which mean matches finished 1-1 probably only good thing is that Carlisle draw 0-0 to Stevenage mean we are still two points ahead of Stevenage who are 21st in table but if Tranmere, Carlisle and Stevenage all win they game in hand then Oldham will be in bottom 4

Hyde draw 0-0 to Hereford today which is good point for Hyde and also first time Hyde keep clean sheet this season too.

With seven/eight games to go for Droylsden I still think they will win a game this season but not today as they lost 6-0 to Grantham Town and it seen Droylsden had player sent off too.

Please start singing fat lady...

Chelsea down to nine men in added time. "The Special One" in order, no doubt, to waste more time has also (quite rightly) been sent off for trying to give Chelsea an extra man

And that's full time and three points , good old smash n grab

At least I can record MOTD now (but I bet it'll be the Chelsea circlejerk )

Ramires minimum 3 games ban. That was bad.

 

[Minilad]

Hey Special one. How'd you like them apples

Talk about throwing your toys out of the pram! Yet MOTD treat him like some kind of deity!! Isn't it also customary to show the winner/home team manager's interview first?

Quite rightly too, perhaps for injuries like that the ban should be the same length the injured player is out if it's longer than 3 games?

How is Rafael still on the pitch? Awful tackle on Gerrard and only booked then not booked for a deliberate hand ball.

Incredible decisions.

Steve G puts the pen away though.

Did you travel to Burnley for the match yesterday ?

Do you mean a penalty being awarded against Manchester United at Old Trafford..

Now another penalty conceded and Liverpool go 2-0 up in the first minute of the second half.

Yep went to Burnley yesterday. Better performance but once again we contributed to our own downfall and just had no luck.

Seriously starting to look at the bottom of the table now, things are starting to get worrying.

3 penalties at Old Trafford! Wow! Gerrard misses for his hat trick though

Vidic off but the most amazing thing is that Rafael is still out there, I think he could have had 3 red cards today.

And that should be a 4th Penalty but the ref bottles this one. This is quite incredible.

And there is the 3rd for Liverpool, Suarez gets a deserved goal and Old Trafford is emptying en mass!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Something for the team to think about on Wednesday when they try to overturn a 2-0 first leg deficit in the Champions League,

 

[WCMLaddict]

And what a dive from Sturridge ... someone should show him this video from German league where the diver was so ashamed, he went to the ref and confesed.

ManUtd are truly terrible.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

When was the last time that three penalties were awarded against Manchester United at Old Trafford ?

Sound like the end of one of football's urban myths.

Well i'd say they were all 100% pens, Rafael should have been off about 3 times and there could have easily been a 4th pen.

Looking forward to this next game. Big North London derby

 

[Cletus]

You really think the 3rd was actually a penalty? Wow.

When Clattenburg sees the replay he realise he's been conned.

I'm sure it's been said before, but no-one is scared of Man Utd anymore.

Like G Neville said, Vidic made a huge mistake in going to ground and made it easy for Sturridge to go down. Vidic was so late it was unbelievable, even for intent alone he needed to be booked.

It was a strange game in many ways because Liverpool were not clinical at all. So many times Suarez and Sturridge slipped at crucial moments and there was many loose passes.

 

[WCMLaddict]

WTF? There was no or so little contact from Vidic that it could not be a foul! Sturridge dived, end of.

Contrary to a popular belief, minimal contact doesn't constitute a foul:

The ref had an awful game altogether.

Lovely goal from Tomas Rosicky for Arsenal.

Which bit of the quoted rules did the ref get wrong? Reading them I am surprised there aren't more fouls given. If he thought Vidic was "careless", for instance.

Sturridge may have gone down easily, but Vidic was both careless and without doubt had the intent by how late he was. Based on the information in your link that therefore means he committed an offence.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

After todays' Premiership results, a sizable points gap has now been opened up between the top four and Tottenham Hotspur in fifth place.

 

[Morden Via CHX]

I think Clattenburg may have realised his mistake after the third penalty (although I don't think it was an utterly terrible decision) and didn't give Liverpool a penalty afterwards.

This was a really embarrassing performance from United and I think next season will be crucial for Moyes if he wants to keep his job.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

With seven/eight games to go for Droylsden I still think they will win a game this season but not today as they lost 6-0 to Grantham Town and Droylsden had a player sent off too.

Your optimism indeed does you credit and you should be given an honorary season ticket at the Butcher's Arms ground...

 

[yorkie]

As I stated early in the season I reckon York will have a good chance of making the play-offs.

Looks like you could be right! 96tommy, Craglad1975, Razor1967 (and others?) will be hoping it happens, though Ivo won't be, as Southend seem to be on a self-destruct mission at the moment

I have York as third best rated in the league at the moment (that doesn't mean I think they will finish third - I just mean I think they are the third best side currently) behind Chesterfield and Fleetwood. I also have York rated better than three teams in League One (Carlisle, Notts County and Shrewsbury). I have Chesterfield a long way better than any other team at the moment in League Two.

But what about the team that's gone just about half the season undefeated?

 

[Morden Via CHX]

But what about the team that's gone just about half the season undefeated?

To be fair I have them fourth and quite a way clear of the fifth (Burton), but felt that they have lost some easy points recently by drawing games against teams that have low ratings. My ratings go a lot off stuff like shots on target and possession etc and they tend not to be as dominant as some other teams in those areas. Maybe you don't need that many chances when you have Sam Winnall up front for you though.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

If Manchester United cannot raise their game plan to overturn the two goal first leg deficit in the Champions League match on Wednesday and join both Arsenal and Manchester City as British teams who are out of the competition, will we see another exodus of their supporters to FC United of Manchester ?

 

[Johnuk123]

After all the penalties yesterday at Old Trafford I think we can assume that the many many years of Utd. getting away with murder are now well and truly over.

In fact now old red face has gone it may be the case that refs are determined to give out penalties against Utd. at every opportunity just because they can.

They must feel great that those 2 old bloodshot eyes are not boring into their back every time they are about to make an on-pitch decision.

There is no doubt whatsoever that Fergies presence on the line was a big advantage.Some of those players yesterday would never have put in such an inept performance if they'd have known he would be in the dressing room at full-time.

 

[Cherry_Picker]

I wonder if Manchester United will go the way of AC Milan.
