the beauty of football is that it can be played from professional level to grassroots with the same rules

to add video replay would destroy that

A referee is only human, wheter it was the right call or not he’s bound to make a mistake or two. So its just part of the game. u win some u lose some.

Tevez has the right to celebrate where ever he wants. Nevile should be proffesionall enough to keep his posture. Instead he flared up, and flipped off a former teamate. Hopefully city knocks out united. (Ima gunner)=)

Benitez is witout a doubt a great coach. At this point in time he hit a low. U can blame ownership to players, to benitez himself. Im faithfull he will pull threw it and finish in the top 4. Liverpool should keep him.

As for arsenals future. Well I always pray for the top of the table. and hopefully this year it can happn once more.!!!!
Fabregas, will be considered the best player in the world within 5 years.
(:

Gooooo gunnerss!!!!!

Interesting that you write “offensive and pathetic gesture” regarding Nevill’s behavior, because your opening remarks could be described in quite the similar fashion. Your analysis of Benitez fails to note that he did indeed win the champions league and return to the final all within the past 4.5 years and has kept liverpool in the top 4 for the last 4 seasons, nearly winning it last year. And your argument regarding the FIFA ruling is flawed; punishing Henry would require them to retroactively enact a new rule, whereas it was determined before the matter that they would use a system to seed the playoffs (albeit I didn’t agree with that). Anyway, just my $0.02

in regards to henry, and houkji’s comment:

INSTANT REPLAY OFFICIATING.
i havn’t heard one good argument against it, and an overwhelming amount in favor.
im really sick of hearing “oh bad calls are made all the time, so and so (the receiving team of said bad call) just needs TO DEAL WITH IT”…which is funny because i know of several instances of people saying “deal with it” when their team gets the good end of the bad call, then turn around and bitch about a bad call in a later game that causes their team to lose the game.

seriously, you LIKE a game where bad calls fu@k over a deserving team and give games to undeserving ones? personally, i like my games as balanced and fair as possible, so that the best team wins. not the team that got lucky with a bad call.

sorry end rant lol

-Arsenal, will challenge for the title the rest of the season, even if they don’t manage to win it. They’ve shown the fight to win games in which they don’t play well, something they haven’t done in past years. 3 weeks from today we should have a clear view of who should win the title as Arsenal will have no more of the “Big 4″ to play and if they stay atop the table through that stretch, it would be their title to lose.
-Henry cannot be punished because the precedent it would set would never be able to be followed up by FIFA in determining what incidents should be punished when the ref misses it in game. St. Ledger makes a very valid argument though, if FIFA are going to bail themselves out by using the rules as a scapegoat, then they shouldn’t ever bend or fail to follow all the rules.
-Rafa should be gone, he is nowhere near top 5 manager in the world, not even close to top 5 in the Premier League anymore.

Thanks Ferris, how kind.

I fear though that not even Briatore would employ a complete novice. Mind you, looking at some of the names we’ve had recently….!!

rafa should leave for his own sake, and being sacked will a relief for him in my opinion. lets never forget he gave the EPL nando torres

went to the emirates, arsenal weren’t convincing but won…gotta respect that!

neville is an idiot, i mean who likes him? tevez responded to SAF in the best way possible…aguante apache!!
