....you might consider the day the man had.

He's hugely emotional to begin with, and he's watched the career of a
comrade possibly destroyed only an hour or so before then watching his
team get cheated out of a win by dodgy play & officiating.

So he kicked a sign... and sat down. Horrors. If those are the worst
things any player ever does in petulance, I think we'll be alright.

I don't condone his actions - not at all, not remotely - but I think
it's a bit harsh and a bit childish, the glee with which some clowns are
now going after the man. You aren't in his boots.

Nor worthy to clean them. Wink

We're at least three points clear, yet the end is nigh for some. Gallas
has done well for us this season, so I'm willing to give him another
chance to lead the team on to winning the title.

Will you also defend his challenge on Nani. You know...the one with OBVIOUS
malicious intent? What was his excuse for that? Had he watched another team
mate injured? Or was he merely chucking the toys from the pram because a
better player shown him a few ball juggling tricks? Take off the tinted
specs man......the guy's an arse. End of.

Answer me this, Mr Wenger....erm, sorry, Manx Gunner. Looking at the replay,
was there malicious intent on Taylor's mind? Now go and look at the tackle
on Nani....!

I just cannot belive some people (mainly Mancs) are using this injury to
stir the pot.

....right after you condemn Ronaldive for being the cheating load of
filth, an utter disgrace to football, that he is, Slitheen.

Do you not know many Man Utd "fans"?

I'm not surprised in the least.

Wait, what was Gallas' part in the injury? I must have missed that. We're
talking about two very different things. Manx Gooner is going on about
Gallas kicking signs and acting up over the penalty. He was defending him.
I'm just making the point that Gallas doesn't need an excuse to act like a
twat.....as he did in our FA Cup game.

All the regular United group fans, including myself, have paid respects to
Eduardo and said what happened was bad. But business resumes, and we're
talking about other issues now, mate.

If you think what happened means we've all got to be nice to Arsenal players
and fans, like we owe them something, you're living in a dreamworld.

I'm on record in Google archives saying that he needed to stop the
Portuguese style 'gamesmanship', early in his Man UTD career. And he's done
well with that. Nowadays it's mostly in the minds of ABU's like you. Players
like Gerrard do it no more or no less, these days.

Now will you condemn Gallas? No? Thought not.

it never ceases to amaze me what the English will get all worked up
about. kicking a board? whoop dee doo. i imagine if you saw how
athletes and coaches in the USA behaved you would have heart attacks!
the coaches always argue with and berate the referees and umpires -
sometimes even kicking dirt on them. if they get ejected they
sometimes litter the field with all the bats and bases. fighting is a
regular part of the NHL and sissy brawls (where both teams run out on
the field and /hug/ each other while a couple of players throw lame
punches at each other) are common in baseball.

Same number as your leading goalscorer

RED DEVIL

Usmanov wants a blocking stake So, he's such a fan he wants to screw the running of the club?

Good performance from Gallas A good all round performance from William Gallas. He was unlucky with the header that was stopped by Van Der Saar's quick reflexes. It was a shame about the own goal he scored but I believe he was determined to put that right which is exactly what he did

Gallas Goals Galore Utd came for a point and you could see 10 Utd players behind the ball. A freak own goal and a bad defensive mix up for the second was disasterous. Maybe deep down, Arsenal are happy with a point only because they were losing into injury time. But Arsenal

Seems a shame to burn them !!! I have to admit, Im a big kid when it comes to bonfire night. lol :-)

gallas will be next mark my words. :-)
