Old Traffordish

Before you start reading this, if you don't even watch football or if you're a Manure fan, get out now.





Old Trafffordish...that was what Arsene Wenger, the manager of Arsenal branded the refereeing during his side's 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford after leading 1-0.

The referee gave Manure a penalty after Rooney DIVED in the penalty box after Almunia's challenge. It was a FUCKING DIVE !!! And they equalised through that penalty. Nevermind. Darren Flecter brought Arshavin in the Manure penalty and....no surprises...there was no penalty. I wonder why Arsene Wenger is so upset about the incident. It's clear that ALL referees are afraid that Alex Ferguson will bite them like a mad dog if they ever award a penalty against Manure at Old Trafford. What really made Wenger break was the disallowed goal near the end of the match. It could have been 2-2...no wait...it should be 1-0 to Arsenal. The penalty should not have been given. If the referee had allowed the Arsenal equaliser to stand, Rooney will surely bite him like a mad dog. That's 2 mad dogs in the Manure camp now...and still counting.

Manure vs Man City. The great Manchester derby. What's so great when there's clearly only 1 winner? Manure scores, Man City equalised. Happens 3 times. 3-3. Referee indicates 4mins of injury time. Eh??? 94mins have passed and why the ref did not blow the final whistle?

95mins and Owen pops out and scores the winning goal. Final Whistle. Well done ref. Another controversy in the BPL. Just like WWE. Drama every week.

It looks like the ref was waiting for Owen to score. If he did not allow that to happen, Anderson will bite him like a mad dog. That's 3 mad dogs. And he's lucky that Roy Keane is now at Ipswich as manager and he can only bite his own players.

Explanations were given as to why the game ended on the 95th min. Man City had taken too much time celebrating their 3rd goal which was in the 90th min. So, additional time had to be added. Basically, what's he saying is that the extra time taken by Man City to celebrate their 3rd goal became their undoing as it resulted in the winning goal for Manure.

For me, the best player for Manure against Man City was Ben Foster. He managed to concede 3 goals. Hope he will be England's no. 1 goalkeeper for the coming World Cup. He's a fine young lad.

Alot of other cases have proved that referees are biased.

Manure vs Spurs. Spurs had scored and the video clearly showed the ball crossed the goalline. Yet the referee disallowed it.

Manure vs QPR. 7mins of FUCKING injury time...so that Cantona can score and dashed QPR's hope of staying in the EPL. I think anyone's dislike of Manchester United stems from one particularly harrowing experience. Mine happened on March 16, 1996. My team, QPR, struggling after the sale of Les Ferdinand, were in a relegation dogfight but hope had been revived by the time United came to town. At 4.57pm QPR were heading towards a famous victory, one we like to think would have given the team the momentum to stay up that year and rapidly alter the course of our history. Instead by 4.58pm QPR had drawn after an impossibly late Eric Cantona header had deflated a confidence that was destined never to recover, 13 years down the line we’re still waiting. And QPR was relegated at the end of that season. It sparked off a series of unfortunate events at QPR, including another relegation to League 1. Damn...

No wonder they say Old Trafford is the Theater Of Dreams. Ya..you must be dreaming if you expect to have the referee's backing when you play there.

Now I hope Manure will get their just desserts just like Chelsea for poaching a youngster through 'unorthodox' means...
