No, the pen was given for the foul, although the striker (yak?) had his back to goal, and wasn't in a position to shoot, and coates was backtracking,
not a goalscoring opportunity.

good point. speaking about coates, exceptional talent, no? Surely he has to be ahead of Carra.
 
Tevez starts for City!!!

But the main events will be going on at the bottom.

Wigan and Wolves should both get thrashed at home to Man U and Arsenal respectively, but I really hope Swansea can get something at QPR. However, I do fear a QPR win.
 
comolli sacked.

adam johnson is available for 10m. would be a bargain for liverpool imo.

adam johnson, dzeko/adebayor and de jong would be excellent signings
 
just reading through some old posts and found this little nugget of foresight from yours truly.

the last time kenny dalglish managed a premiership team, he drove them into the ground. Don't expect miracles.

strange that!

Commoli's dismissal is just a kneejerk reaction, the guy has done a fine job. Please explain the thinking behind it somebody? Even the Telegraph seems uncertain.

Liverpool have sacked Director of Football Damien Comolli after the club's owners, Fenway Sports Group, reviewed the club's failure in the transfer market that saw high-profile and expensive acquisitions such as Andy Carroll contribute to a chastening season in the Premier League.

and then go on to say

article said:
in all instances, manager Kenny Dalglish had the final say in the deals.

...

"[Comolli] has been really helpful in every transfer target we've gone for," said Dalglish. Everyone who has come into the club since Damien has been here was of my choice. Once I made the choice who I wanted Damien went away and did a fantastic job of bringing them in."

it absolutely wreaks of scapegoat - the guy has gone out and brought in the targets that he was asked to using the funds available to him. the owners need to grow a pair and have a word with 'king' kenny if they have a problem with recent transfers because he's come out on record and said that they were all his choices.

United lose another game and we have a title decider like last season except the rivalry's more fierce and there's a lot of pride at stake coz it's a derby.
 
Genius.You learn to hate them when your country is teeming with millions of foolish glory hunters that don't watch most games and don't know anything about United(except the name of a popular player or two) or the Premier League or European football as a whole.
