Ahem, The League is gone - and deservedly so. http://www.ynwa.tv/forum/index.php?showtopic=144294 Change of mind?

Incompetent/weak/pressured/easily-influenced/etc. refereeing decisions doesn't necessarily amount to corruption.

The Fulham penalty was pivotal. They had to win at Fulham after the defeat to us. This is where the conspiracy theory falls down.

It's not optimistic to expect a relegation threatened team to at least have a go when they 1-0 down at home. They may end up losing 2-0 or more but unless Southgate is a total t*** he will be getting at them just now.

It's only 1-0. I expect them to have a real go in the second half. They have to.

So how do you explain our penalty at OT? Or Fulham's?

He also snarled when asked about Tevez, "can't beleive you asked me that". Complete contrast to Rafa who looked calm and relaxed at his press conference.

It's okay. A naked Indian awoke me as I slept last night and took me to meet Alfred Hitchcock. He told me would win all our last four games and I have no reason to doubt him.

Two days after this debacle Tim Sherwood was once again gracing the Setanta sports channel with his presence and kindly letting us have his expert opinioin on what Newcastle were doing wrong against Portsmouth and how they should have approached it. f*** off Tim.

The 3.15 “cut off” period, of itself, is not sustainable in law. There is no tangible evidence that could possibly justify this arbitrary point in time. The evidence clearly suggests that a multitude of deaths occurred (both occasioned and retrievable) after this point. The notion of injuries sustained during this allowed window occasioning fatalities at a later point is similarly without credence due to the Medico-legal evidence that plainly suggests otherwise. s*** hitting fan is starting Justice is coming.

It's not bent, it's skewed.

This theory has finally tickled my fancy. What entails "doing something"? How are we to win the league next season if the position is as you say?

I'm going to hunt down Harrry f***ing Rednapp and f***ing no no mark Mr Sherwood and kidnapp them. I have a place and ideas for torture.

no problems mate. I'm contemplating climbing on the roof and doing my best Batman impression.

Sums up the f***ing day They are w***. They are gonna crawl over the finishing line somewhow this year. But next year..

Amazing performance. True champions nothing fazes them.

This is so close to fact it is uncanny.

Top of the League at 5 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon with only four games left to play. Weird, weird feeling.

Check his medal cabinet, the answer is there.

Allardyce during the same interview; "There was no need for Sammy to get involved." "It's not for me to tell Sammy what to do" What a knob. Completely beyond the pale.

This is gonna tip Fergie over the edge! Rafael Benitez launches bold bid to bring Carlos Tevez to Anfield Carlos Tevez Carlos Tevez is unlikely to be at Old Trafford next season and Liverpool and keen to recruit him Oliver Kay, Football Correspondent Rafael Benítez is preparing to antagonise Sir Alex Ferguson once more with an audacious bid to sign Carlos Tévez. The Argentina forward is increasingly resigned to leaving Manchester United at the end of the season, with Real Madrid his most likely destination. Benítez has signalled Liverpool’s willingness to join Chelsea, Manchester City and Inter Milan in the mêlée for his signature. Ferguson has not yet given up hope of retaining Tévez’s services after his complicated two-year lease arrangement expires at the end of the season, but the forward’s growing discontent means that he will consider a move away from Old Trafford — even if United manage to reach an agreement with the companies that hold his economic rights. Tévez, who joined United in a controversial move from West Ham United in August 2007, would be likely to cost any other club more than the £22 million that United have to pay at the end of the season to turn the player’s loan into a permanent deal. Benítez, though, is determined to test the water. The Spaniard knows that United have no control over Tévez if and when he leaves Old Trafford and that the Barclays Premier League leaders would not receive any money, with the transfer fee instead going to the companies, headed by Kia Joorabchian, that own the player’s economic rights. Tévez, 25, is frustrated at his loss of favour since Dimitar Berbatov’s arrival at Old Trafford from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer, having not started any of United’s four matches in the Champions League knockout phase. Madrid are favourites to sign Tévez should he end his two-year stint at United, with Florentino Pérez, who is expected to be elected Real’s new president next month, confident of delivering the forward as part of a wide-reaching rebuilding operation that is expected to include a world-record bid for Cristiano Ronaldo, the United forward. But Liverpool have registered their interest in signing Tévez if he wishes to stay in England — and if the price is right. Tévez declared in an interview with an Argentine radio station this week that “in my situation, an exit [from United] will be the best solution” and that “there are other options for next season”, citing interest from Real and Inter as well as other clubs, of which there are now three in England monitoring the situation. Ferguson, the United manager, would bristle at the idea of the forward joining just about any of the interested clubs. He blocked Gabriel Heinze’s proposed move to Liverpool in August 2007 and said of Real this season that he “wouldn’t sell that mob a virus”. As revealed in The Times a week ago, Tévez concluded that his future lay away from United after being dropped for the 1-0 victory away to Porto in the Champions League quarter-final, second leg. His sense of injustice is shared by some of his team-mates and certainly by the club’s supporters, who cheered his name loudly when the substitutes were announced before the 2-0 Premier League victory over Portsmouth on Wednesday — in contrast to Berbatov, whose name was booed by an audible minority. These are issues that Ferguson could do without, having shown several signs of tetchiness in recent weeks even as his team continue their defence of the Premier League and Champions League titles. He has been at odds with Benítez since January and the Liverpool manager continued the verbal jousting yesterday. Benítez insisted that he had been right to stand up to his United counterpart and that Liverpool are the better team on form, even though they trail by three points in the title race, having played a game more. “I’m not having a battle of words with Alex Ferguson,” Benítez said in an interview with a Spanish newspaper. “But I believe that he can see that we are the better side and that we’re very close to United. He has been playing these kind of mind games for many years. Nobody has ever said anything against him or stood up to him. It seems like he has a licence to do these sort of things. “I try not to talk too much, but all I can do when I speak is to defend my own team. I did not say that he seems frightened, but I said that he looks nervous as he can see that we are very close to his team.” http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/foo...icle6157813.ece

But you also would have noticed that the total points tally of the champions has steadily reduced in the last four years.

Benitez said: 'I'm not having a battle of words with Alex Ferguson, but I believe that he can see that we are the better side, and that we are very close to United. Something not quite right there. Maybe something lost in translation.

I'ts assuming we win all our remaining games, which I think we can do. We've done it before, in 2006 I think we won our last 12 games or so. We will be more focused this time. But yes, don't win at Hull and it's all over.
