CC Final

[Arron]

Today was Phil Dowd's first major final in refereeing.
I have a feeling that might be his last..

Erm.. yeah. It's obvious that Vidic should've been sent off, glad the referee was dumb enough to keep him on, the only solution I could come up with as to why he never sent Vidic off was because it was four minutes into the match, and I know that isn't even a valid excuse, but that would be the only comeback Phil Dowd could respond with unless he just says straight up "yeah my bad..." :L

I'm glad Owen scored. Also as I said in the England Team thread about Heskey letting his presence be known, well he did. I think he played well today, he controlled that ball just like Berbatov can do. Him and Rooney would like perfect.

Agbonlahor(sp) had Vidic in his back pocket all day too, his pace is too rapid for any of our defence to handle. He should be in the England squad (if he isn't already)

We deserved to win though

he didn't have a bad game, his only big mistake was the red card that wasn't given.

Seriously?

I think my point was that it seemed just like a normal game - as in nothing special. Maybe due to no build-up (that I was aware of anyway) in the few days leading up to it.. I dunno :L

A neutral would rather watch 86 minutes of football rather than 86 minutes of a one sided game.

Glad Villa didn't win. I'm probs gonna get flamed for this but purely because I reckon they're one of the worst teams to watch in the league. They only score from set pieces/ counter attacking football!?!?

ere jack i love you and all but that's rubbish. villa play some really nice football. you're just bitter they're going to beat you to 4th spot.


i found the game quite captivating, granted there wasn't a lot of efforts on goal it was still quite open. wish villa had won though.

0-0 at home to Aston Villa, they virtually parked a bus in front of the goal with half an hour to go.

wow just found out pixxie lott is only 18... maybe i stand a chance afterall!

yeah they do only play counter attack football with their pace upfront and for set plays (which were both not very good on sunday). So they aren't the most attractive but obviously rather effective !

You are jesting right?

[leah]

oh god, i watched the whole game and seriously the referee had an absolute MARE. Usually refs are biased in MUs favour but this time it was appauling, he booked several villa players and left MU players completely unpunished for (in some cases) more severe challenges. Also vidic should have been off, he prevented a goal scoring opportunity and a penalty was the result, usually the player would be red carded.
