Everyone but Rudi, commence hatred:

Is it made of plastic?

I just hope you enjoy that shirt when he dips out in 2 years. Then youll never wear it again.

Newcastle took a tonking today. Haven't seen the highlights, but it sounded as if a mediocre penalty call swung the match. Props to Fulham though, once we fell apart, they definitely capatalized

Dempsey got up in dat ass

Watched through much of the match. First half was all Newcastle but they could only get the one goal. Second half was pretty even until the penalty, though that was only about 7 minutes in. The penalty was a bit dodgy but Santon definitely fouled Duff - it just a question of whether it was inside the area of outside. The contact seemed to start right on the edge of the box. One of those calls that was going to be questionable either way and I`ve seen far worse. In the refs defense, Santon also could have got himself a straight red at the end of the first half and just saw a yellow instead. After that first Fulham goal, Newcastle just fell apart.

Everton and draws, fuck. I was hoping to gain at least 10 points from the last five games but we only came away with 5. Those 5 points are the difference from being in 14th or 8th.

Liverpool interested in Jelavic. Asking price just doubled!

From the Sperz-Citeh match. Tough to say for sure that its intentional, but it doesn't look like a natural motion of one trying to keep their balance. Fucking Balotelli... so talented and so cool off the pitch, but shit like this...

 

[Rudi]

He was looking up the field the whole time I don't even know if he ever saw parker there. That being said, Mario still got the last laugh :lesmug:

Yea but who will get the last laugh when the FA gets his ass for that. That was foul as fuck from him. He knew what he was doing. He was trying to kick him. In the head, probably not, but thats where he got him.

Shitty caught the breaks today. Lescott, and Balotelli lucked out.

On to Arsenal and United. Good result. Alex Oxade is going to be the player. He looks light years ahead of where Theo looked at that age. Some fantastic football and some horrendous defense from Arshavin helped for the winning goal. But a win away vs LeArse is a very good result.

Thought A.V. could have done better, but I thank him he didnt. And I also expect to never see Arshavin in an Arsenal shirt again.

And boy Wazza has turned into quite the theatrical little diva bitch hasnt he? Fuuuck, get up man. Get on with it. Its like CR7 here all over again.

 

[Bigpapa42]

Don't see how Balotelli could have been unaware of Parker, who was on top of his feet, Rudi. I won't absolutely say it was intentional... but it honestly looks more like an intentional kick than a player trying to stay on his feet.

Disappointed that Arsenal lost today but not really gutted. Those kind of losses usually feel a lot worse. Dunno why this one doesn't. Arshavin is so shite that its not even funny. Wenger defended the substitution, talking about how to Oxlade-Chamberlain is young and was slowing down while Arshavin is the Russian NT captain... but you can't ignore form. Arshavin has been a positive influence on matches very few times this season. Given how poor he's been on a regular basis, I just don't understand why he plays so frequently.

 

[NAHSTE]

Not sure if it was intentional. Looks like he received a slight push to the back right as he was trying to untangle his feet, which was just enough to throw his balance off.

At least that is the version I will choose to believe.

Nice try, but he's kicking back before Modric touched him. And I don't know that Modric ever pushed.

The more I see it, the more it looks like an intentional kick backward at whoever was there. Which is a classless move. If we were talking about a sporting player with no history of lashing out, I might be more willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but Balotelli has a pretty sordid history already.

For once, Harry Redknapp is right - Balotelli should not have been on the pitch when he scored and the FA needs to do something.

 

[Fappin Raptor]

There is nothing natural at the way he stepped back there.

He's been charged over it and faces up to a 4 match ban. Apparently the FA didn't buy the "he was pushed into it or falling or something" defense.

 

[Rudi]

Don't matter, we got so many strikers we won't miss a beat.

:troll:

 

[Fappin Raptor]

Aguero and Dzeko? Am I missing any more?

 

[Bigpapa42]

:troll:

Uh... Isn't you manager the one crying continually about needing squad reinforcements to continue to compete through the second half of the season? And um, who are all the only natural forwards in the squad currently besides Balotelli, Dzeko, and Aguero?
