Not looking forward to the quarter-hour of injury time.
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 31 December 2011 14:34 (twelve years ago) link
Not even 15 minutes of injury time, only 4!

Totally forgot there was football today, just checked BBC and saw the Man U - Blackburn score. Can they hold out?! Will the fans still want Steve Kean's head?

Thank goodness for that. Utd being awful yet pummelling everyone was too depressing to go on forever.

Utd being awful yet pummelling everyone was too depressing to go on forever
This didn't happen, though. When United were pummelling everyone (at the start of the season) they were great. Then they completed lost the ability to defend and had some rubbish results. Then they turned into a dull 1-0 machine that sometimes misfired. Then (against QPR, Fulham and Wigan) they looked great again. But that performance today was just dreadful (and the team selection was bizarre, even with all the injuries).

Those 1-0s feel like a pummelling to everyone else though

Great seeing old Nani back, couldn't do shit today.

team selection was fine, it was the tactics that were bizarre. it was if ferg actually said 'do what you want, it is just fucking blackburn'

oh and nv when you are about - what ye think of frimpong going on loan to Wolves? I have been really impressed by him this season but do Wolves need a DM? Seems an odd place to go?

Ferguson's recent diss of City, saying it's being top at New Year that counts, is quite pleasing.

Villa living up to form with an incredibly poor Dunne tackle. Egad.

surprised by that equalizer. Also should have been a a red for Terry. Interesting and ugly, which is a huge improvement over the usual plain ugly.

Oof. By the end of that game I was quite relieved with the point. Swansea looked very good, way better than Norwich last week.

they are a lot better, lambert must be something special cuz that team is full of dreck (is holt/morison even midtable champo level?)
tottenham played pretty much their first xi again which is going to cost them in injuries/exhaustion again in the spring

Chelsea made Villa look good, which is damn near impossible. Chelsea is extremely slow in the back - I think even Dunne and Collins outpace them, which is incredibly sad.

so the suarez judgement is out
― (╯°□°)╯┻━zǝɹɐns sınl━┻ (cccccc), Saturday, 31 December 2011 17:28 (twelve years ago) link
The FA's case, in short, was as follows. In the goalmouth, Mr Evra and Mr Suarez spoke to each other in Spanish. Mr Evra asked Mr Suarez why he had kicked him, referring to the foul five minutes previously. Mr Suarez replied "Porque tu eres negro", meaning "Because you are black". Mr Evra then said to Mr Suarez “say it to me again, I’m going to punch you”. Mr Suarez replied "No hablo con los negros", meaning "I don't speak to blacks". Mr Evra continued by saying that he now thought he was going to punch Mr Suarez. Mr Suarez replied "Dale, negro, negro, negro", which meant "okay, blackie, blackie, blackie". As Mr Suarez said this, he reached out to touch Mr Evra's arm, gesturing at his skin. Mr Kuyt then intervened. When the referee blew his whistle and called the players over to him shortly after the exchanges in the goalmouth, Mr Evra said to the referee "ref, ref, he just called me a fucking black".

Mr Suarez denied the Charge. His case, in short, was as follows. He agreed with Mr Evra that they spoke to each other in Spanish in the goalmouth. When Mr Evra asked why he had kicked him, Mr Suarez replied that it was a normal foul and shrugged his shoulders. Mr Evra then said that he was going to kick Mr Suarez, to which Mr Suarez told him to shut up. As Mr Kuyt was approaching, Mr Suarez touched Mr Evra's left arm in a pinching style movement. According to Mr Suarez, at no point in the goalmouth did he use the word "negro". When the referee blew his whistle to stop play, Mr Evra spoke to Mr Suarez and said (in English) "Don't touch me, South American". Mr Suarez replied "Por que, negro?". He says that he used the word “negro” in a way with which he was familiar from his upbringing in Uruguay. In this sense, Mr Suarez claimed, it is used as a noun and as a friendly form of address to people seen as black or brown-skinned (or even just blackhaired). Thus, it meant "Why, black?" Mr Suarez maintained that when he said "Por que, negro?" to Mr Evra, it was intended in a conciliatory and friendly way. Mr Suarez said this was the only time that he used the word “negro” in his exchanges with Mr Evra during the match.

"There is no word that means "Nigger" in Spanish and I was not aware of this word until the allegations made by Mr Evra."
