It's not. Peoples attitudes in general do as they act like hypocrites. It's general staple.

How was he being hypocritical? He was adhering to the main point of the article as a couple of us were.

If he was being hypocritical, I would've seen a bunch of elitist posts about how football should not be called soccer, how its a pure sport that no one else outside can understand, and other extreme nonesense.

Later this month it'll be 89 years since the famed 1923 FA Cup final (white horse final), one of THE classics.

Look at their squad other then the big guns like Rooney none of their players would stand out in any other team in the Premiership.


True, Fulham just sat back at OT recently, was facepalming myself all the way through, it's just funny though, Athletic Bilbao, a second tier La Liga side tore them apart in both legs in the Europa League, the Premierships top side being taught a footballing lesson by a side that's not even in the top 5 of La Liga, you couldn't make it up.

He was locked up in a Singapore prison, he was declared dead on the pitch, he was signed by 25 clubs in 13 countries and he is still the only professional to have played in all six of Fifa's confederations.

Lutz Pfannenstiel's football career is like no other.

Who's your all-time favourite team? (i.e. "Barnstoneworth United, 1923/24 season: Haggerty R, Haggerty F, Tomkins, Noble, Carrick, Dobson, Dewhurst, Crapper, McIntyre, Treadmore, Davitt ")

Wasn't Manchester City 5 points ahead of United at one point?

Yep :lol:

Obviously a good day to be a Utd supporter, though I will definately say the penalty for us shouldn't have been given. So in a week, Balotelli's interrupted an Inter Milan press conference, slept with the same prostitute that Rooney did, crashed his car and now got sent off today. Some life. He gets up to crazy shit, seems like a nice enough guy but with a short fuse and capable of making some awful decisions. But after today, you have to say that Mancini and City will have given up on him. Though Tevez is still at the club even after all this controversy surrounding him so who can say?

Still a ways to go though, I won't be happy until it's sealed and done.

You cant buy the title.

Oh but Young should have been the one booked for that terrible dive after coming from 2 yards offside.[A big decision going UTD's way twice in a week in pretty much the same spot, never could have seen that coming :-" ]

The sooner they get rid of Batlotelli the better and he should have been sent off in the first half for that high tackle.

For me Millwall 03/04. Had many better teams but it was my first season as a season ticket holder and the year we got to the FA Cup Final.

My analogy of the day: Utd is like a self made businessman. City is like a chav who won the lottery.
