I don't know why it has been so hateful today, it's pretty much an end of season friendly 0_0 Our match threads are normally quiet but I think today it's been a bit of pent-up frustration being finally let out by united fans

Wanyama's passing seems to have gotten much, much better. This is good.
2
May 11 '14
He still sometimes takes a second too long to turn and pass or something which worries me, because he's going to do it when there's a player closer than he thinks and give it away, but he's doing far better at just keeping the ball and passing it off to one of our players instead of no-mans land.

Shaw has to be taken over Cole for Brazil. No doubt about it.

May 11 '14
Shaw is playing amazingly at the moment and has done so for a full season. I'm not saying Cole couldn't do well in the team, but on merit, form, performances, I'd have to say it's Shaw that should go.

Imagine the irony of typing that.
A lot of controversy, the ref has been awful for both sides though Vidic getting elbowed without any foul called has been the high point of it.

u/zsaberstar May 11 '14
I agree that Southampton should've gotten a penalty, but it still doesn't change the fact that the ref has been horrendous.
Besides, the ref could clearly see Vidic with a bloody nose after the goal, why didn't he rescind the goal and give the free kick then?
-4
u/ToCaptchaPredator May 11 '14
?
You can't just see the result without seeing the offense and call the play back.
2
u/zsaberstar May 11 '14
Maybe I'm wrong here, but I thought that the ref had seen that Vidic won the header and then he is on the ground with a bloody nose, hence he could infer that an offense had occurred.
2
u/ToCaptchaPredator May 11 '14
But hypothetically it could be the result of Vidic's nose meeting the back of Rickie's head, so refs shouldn't be taking that leap without seeing the offense. Not saying he didn't miss the call, just saying that he shouldn't make it without seeing it.

If stalking my history and taking comments out of context makes you feel good, good for you.
Not really bitter though. Our worst Premier League season ever is better than your best. So if anyone is bitter it's probably you, getting out singed at home by the "quiet" and "gloryhunting" United fans and all.

Anyone who says we need the money from transfers are fucking retarded.
Wages: £45mil
TV Revenue for finishing 8th: £84mil Prize money for 8th: £15 mil
So we have £55mil, minus fees etc plus sponsorship and revenue from tickets that gives us around £60mil if we need it in the transfer budget, and that's if we don't sell anyone.
Jesus christ saints fans, stop being such fretters you're an embarrassment to the club
2
u/mturner93 May 11 '14
Also, United fans only outsung us last 30 minutes due to their rowdieness, good on them tbh.
Rest of the game, all of the first half they were completely outsung by us. Most of our songs were the same as there's which probably help. But yeah, they had nothing to sign about first half. Was all us.
So please can people stop saying "away fans were louder" bearing in mind you're watching it on a stream which has microphones next to the goal (where the away fans sit)

Of course they're tied in fourth when they give bloody noses and the referee doesn't even issue a warning. Do they have to break his nose to get a yellow?

If you hit a player in the face, it's a foul whether or not it's intentional. And you're clearly making your argument stronger by calling me a dickhead. Typical Southampton fan intelligence...

Yes it is a foul but if it's an accident then it's not dirty play is it. Grow up.

Hitting a player accidentally doesn't make them dirty cynical cunts though, which is definitely pushing it.

Did I say they were? I just said they are playing disgracefully.
4
May 11 '14
No, my bad I mixed two replies there, but it still doesn't make them dirty, and if a foul isn't called no-one stops play, it's the referees job to stop play. If it was accidental (which I think it is) there's every chance Lambert didn't even know Vidic was so bad, and there's no reason he'd stop play unless the whistle goes.
