Apparently Angel Rangel had to go in goal and saved a penalty, has anyone got a video of it?

Not a penalty, a freekick.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Rangel did well for that free kick, it was the highlight of the game for us!

I cant believe that both my teams have lost derbies and played crap in both, United lost 4-1 to City and Swans lost 1-0 to Cardiff yesterday

BREAKING! Sacha Reither has been charged with violent conduct after stamping on Adnan Januzaj on Saturday....

 

[Dennisch]

Former Rangers captain Fernando Ricksen has been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. Saw him on tv this weekend and he already has trouble speaking. Sad news.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Looks like Martin O'Neill is getting closer to the Ireland job, its expected to be announced on Saturday...with Keane as his assistant...which should be interesting!

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Sacha Reither has been banned for 3 games after being charged for violent conduct for his stamp on Adnan Januzaj on Saturday...

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Im not expecting anything for the United-Arsenal game, United are playing pretty well, unbeaten in 7, but the way Arsenal beat Dortmund I think a draw will be as good as a win!

Yeah, but we are capable of a win too. We just need that good day this Sunday.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

I really hope we get a win as it would be a result that will turn our season around..

there's no early kickoff tomorrow as its the FA cup 1st round and Bt will be showing a few of them this weekend and itv

Time to get my livestreams out then . Also, I agree with @Phoenix if we play well enough.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Arsenal have always done something stupid when they play United, not sure I'd take a draw if offered last week but I'll take it now.

 

[Ryanswannell]

I'm absolutely ecstatic with the Arsenal results this week, I wasn't expecting us to bounce back after the result against Chelsea last week, but credit where it's due Wenger has clearly done something to keep the good form coming.
I'm confident of a decent result against United, but also wary that we could slip up after United have found a little bit of form over the last couple of weeks.
I'm buzzing for tomorrow, let's just hope Ashley Young stays on his feet, eh?

Let's hope Ashley Young doesn't play, eh? Hoping for Januzaj instead.

Buuut Moyes will probably play Giggs or Kagawa om LM/LW anyway.

 

[Hyped]

Here's how Chelsea drew level with WBA... That penalty should never have been given.

 

[Touring Mars]

Blatant cheating - the FA need to take action against this, as it is getting beyond a joke. Nothing short of a lengthy ban will stop persist cheats from ruining games. WBA deserved all three points today, and I just hope Mourinho has the decency to admit that WBA were cheated.

 

[dhandeh]

The big teams certainly get the decisions. You can guarantee if it was up the other end, the referee wouldn't have given it.

 

[sems4arsenal]

What a disgusting dive and decision. That's incredible. Poor from Marinner and Ramires.

when I saw it I thought he blown the whistle for the dive.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Which is it in the video, the first one or the second?

 

[dhandeh]

If that is the standard of challenge for a penalty to be given, there will be 50 penalties a game. The referee should be sent to the Sunday leagues for a month.

 

[Hyped]

It their second.

Well he didn't, he said it was a clear penalty, not sure what game he was watching. Ramires should be ashamed but I bet he is well proud of himself right now.

It's not just the big teams that get these though Blackpool got some when they were in the premiership and before them Andy Johnson was a diving machine as he got penalty after penalty. People only seem to notice when it helps a big team out which is what I fear will happen if the FA clamp down on it.

 

[Alex.]

A clear dive should be a 3 game ban, appealable but if you are found to be appealing a dive rather than a loss of balance, the ban is an extra game.

Happy with Liverpool's performance today. We got smashed by Arsenal last week but they are the best team in the league at the moment. It's the home games against Fulham/West Brom that decide if you're in the fight for the top four, and we still most certainly are.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

I can see it now, Ramires just runs into him!

 

[ASH32]

No because that is the same punishment as violent conduct and that can't be right. Diving would need a system that punishes persistent divers and not one off occasions and should not be the referees job at all because we'll just end up with more wrong decisions then.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Still its nice to know that Ashley Young isn't alone...

 

[ASH32]

He's not, there are tons of divers, even defenders do it and Young has always been a diver, long before he came to Man Utd.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

So that Chelsea point means that Man Utd will be just a point off them if they win tomorrow..

Also it was announced earlier that BT have got some rights to show Champions League games from 2015, that's a big coup for them and it shows that there are going to stick around...

 

[Alex.]

Good. It's about time someone gave Sky something to think about. They've monopolised the market for years and now they may be forced to rethink their ridiculous pricing strategies, squeezing the consumers whilst making hundreds of millions per year.

They're exclusive rights... Say goodbye to ITV's coverage.👎

Yeah it's brilliant, it means ITV Sport has lost all Champions League and Europa matches, so people like me without BTSport or Sky Sports won't have much to watch at all.
