We are the worst first half team in the PL, but 8th best second half. 0-0 at half time is excellent. Now let's win a couple of throws! Big worry is sending offs now we have so many stupid and needless yellows. Why is Rooney allowed to shout in the ref's face without being booked by the way?

Great 1st half that! Two of the 'lesser' players namely Cresswell and Pugh had very good first halfs. Whelan has been totally absent however - well apart from his stupid foul! Cresswell was very unlucky with the card in my opinion both went up with arms leading and it should of just been a talking to for both of them. The tug on Rooneys shirt was highly amusing - not sure who was the culprit I'd guess Wilkinson in that postion! Edit: Forgot to mention Wilkinson so far this has been his best performance in a Stoke shirt in my opinion - mainly due to the fact he is actually looking up and using the ball and no just twatting it aimlessly as usual. Keep it up Wilko lad! Keep this up in the 2nd half and we've got a great chance of take a point or even more! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAARNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN STOKE!

Agreed, apb. They get away with more than us ... Though I don't think the ref's having too bad a game ... Can't say any of our bookings weren't deserved, but he hasn't given them everything and we are being allowed to tackle.
Just hope he doesn't turn after HT and a word from Fergie
ah

The ref has given stoke nothing, but we are still in with a chance of three points. The biggest woorry is that the ref has already decided to send a Stoke player off in the second half.

hats off to creesy, he's not doing bad at all, its obvious though that we need pace bout wide, someone who can get to the byline and put a cross in, in an ideal world we'd GET BOTH a right & left winger in january.

Half Time from the Brit (for those who can't see it on TV edition):- Dare I say it, I think Stoke are the stronger team, the Shit, much like Chelsea have their moves which do show us up but we've had the best chance with Fuller. Cresswell seems to be performing average with Pugh not really making an impact, great improvement with Amdy Faye though. Defence looking sharper than at Blackburn too.
Big screen looks cracking and maybe Lenny to show his face
Might end a good day

The ref I thought was having a great game until he just seemed to lose all control around the 30 minute mark - when he might as well just bent over pull down his shorts and held up a sign saying 'Sir Alex please sodomize me now' . . . .

Two decisions that the referee has totally bottled out of there. Rooney should have been booked, and Ricci should have got a penalty.

linesman should have had rooney for the elbow on BIG-faye. But then redeemed himself by giving tevez offside when he was miles on.
We havin a real good go this half ... just gotta keep at em
ah

Rooney should have been red carded for the deliberate elbow attempt with real intent. Ronaldo should have been red carded for the retaliation. Ronaldo should have been yellow carded several times for blatant diving, sorry simulation. Van de Sar lost the ball and brought Ricci down - red card and penalty.
Chris Foy has bottled all of the big decisions in the favour of ManU. The Tevez offside was given by the linesman who missed the Rooney attempted assault.
Wilkos 2nd yellow was unfortunately justified. Bet Chris Foy was happy about that.

Wilko deserved the 2nd yellow for that. Unfortunate, but the greasy mardarse managed to wind him up.
HOLD ON CITY!!

I'm pissed off at the ref, he's handed this to them, we should have got something out of it.

Post by Deleted on Dec 26, 2008 14:40:18 GMT
ref been a manure fan 2nd half, duckdown. bookings (at least) should have come for rooney & ronaldo ... but wilko did deserve his 2nd yellow. we've been hard but fair, but the ref has bottled under the pressure from manure players.
our lot have been a credit though ... 1000 times better than blackburn. just a shame we couldn't hang on (but the goal was coming once we went down to 10)
ah
