Yet more "bitterness" from the bluesh@te

Leon Osman has seen two of his goals chalked off by the FA's "Dubious goals" committee, while Liverpool's Peter Crouch's first "goal" for Liverpool still stands.

Leon's goals against Wigan and Portsmouth have been given as own goals, which has understandably upset the young midfielder, who said, "I am very upset to say the least. I felt I scored them both."

"People immediately gave the Wigan one to Thompson, but as he slid in he propelled my foot to kick the ball and that is how it went in the net, so I am a bit disappointed.

"I think at first people assume it was an own goal, but if you look back at it you can clearly see that it was my goal. I knew immediately that it was my goal and that is why I ran off celebrating it."

"At Portsmouth, the ball bounced and I didn?t get a massive touch on it," he added. "But I got the bottom of my boot on the ball and it went in the back of the net, so as far as I am concerned, that is my goal."

"I think that what is said immediately after the game should stand, that would mean I would get one and lose the other, but it is better than nothing."

Peter Crouch, meanwhile, saw his first Premiership "goal" for Liverpool given after his shot took a 90 degree deflection off a defender, and was then punched into his own goal by hapless Wigan keeper Mike Pollit.

Who said anyone at The FA was biased in any way?
