Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth
Jon Miller: MikeH is a shockingly revolting dolt and a masturbatory urine-reeking sideshow freak whose word is as valuable as an aging cow paddy.

Meanwhile, down in west London, Claudio Ranieri must have been rubbing his hands with glee. While the two great rivals of the last decade absorbed themselves in a self-destructive bore-draw, Chelsea were relaxing after the easiest of 5-0 wins.
True, that thrashing was only of Premiership whipping-boys Wolves. But Chelsea's expensive stars have gelled far quicker than anyone dared think.
The past weekend gave the clearest indications yet that the title race this season is no longer a two-horse affair.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

That article is wrong: the title race most certainly is a two-horse affair.
United and Chelsea.

If I was a neutral, I would have find it all amusing. Very surprised Ruud didn't react.

As far as I'm concerned, Vieira deserved a red card for the kick aimed at Van Nistelrooy, not a second yellow. This isn't because I think he should have an even longer ban (his ban doesn't start until after Friday night so I don't care when he has it), but because he should never have had a yellow card the first time round. I saw that as a fair challenge, and even if it was his thrid strong challenge then you can't book someone for nearly fouling people, no matter how many times it happens. Vieira deserved a straight red despite Van Nistelrooy's theatrics, for which he was deservedly booked. You're supposed to be sent off for raising your arms at opposition players, and the same should apply to the legs. If you go to kick someone then you should be punished, whether or not you make contact. If you go in for a strong challenge and leave them on the floor after taking the ball then fine.
I'm not sure that Van Nistelrooy shouldn't have been sent off too, as I was sure that the rules called for players asking for others to be sent off to be dismissed, but given the number of players surrounding refs waving imaginary cards then that can no longer be part of the rules. Shame though - it's far worse than making no attempt to play a slow-moving ball and instead shielding it out of touch, which also annoys the hell out of me.Comment

Agreed. But he didn't exactly go out of his way to tell the ref he hadn't been hit. But either way Viera should been off for attempting the kick and RVN yellowed for the initial foulOriginally posted by Park Avenue

BTW Bodds, do you think the player Fergie was referring to before the match regarding foreigners diving was RVN? I can't think of anyone else at ManU with that reputation?Comment

I must have missed the part where RVN tried to get Vieira sent off. But then again it was a bit hectic there for a while.

He gestured to the ref 'what are you going to do about that' with his open hands (yes, he has very expressive hands)

Van Nistelrooy is a notorious diver and whiner. I thought it was great when the Arsenal players pushed him around - I've long wanted to do that myself. If only they'd punched him.
Anyway, what are the Manure boys complaining about, they've got Roy Keane on their team, a man who's publicly stated that he wants to "get" Alan Shearer and Gary Speed before he retires. Too bad that Shearer would hand him his ass.
More fighting is needed.
Man, I've been watching too much hockey.......Only feebs vote.Comment
