English Premiership

Ronaldo had maybe (aside from his penalty) one left footed shot on goal from about 30 yards out; a slow roller to Lehman. I don't know why he doesn't impact big games like he does in the games vs the worse teams. He complained alot after clean tackles wondering why he wasn't getting penalty kicks.

Lehman actually played really well. I was surprised that he stopped Rooney's chance late on. There was nothing you could do about that freekick; it was perfect.

Yeah Lehmann was good today. Wasn't this his first game back? And I feel sorry for Song, he made a lot of mistakes and got shit from Gallas and Toure, but it's tough to come into this game like that. A game that means so much.

[^_^]

Well, there was one play when Rooney crept behind Toure and then they blamed Song for it; I don't know why. It's a shame Arsenal had to have injuries to Flamini and Sagna for this game; Gilberto and Song were clearly not up for the game. Gilberto gave away a silly foul to set up Hargreaves.

Showboating.

I don't understand why Sir Alex and Ronaldo complain for more protection when Ronaldo begs for opponents to kick him. I've never seen a world class player with such little resepect for opponents.

If someone is showboating it doesn't mean it's ok to kick him. If one is showing lack of respect by showboating what is someone who kicks him showing then?

I don't understand why Wenger complains about rash tackles and physical play ("ban Taylor for life") when his players tend to throw in a few kicks and punches themselfs.


Anyways ... Great game of football. Funny how a football match was influenced by so much handplay. :biggrin:

You know, I like Ronaldo but the funniest thing is that many players can actually do similar tricks, but there is a reason that it isn't really done in games. Quote me when I said kicking him shows respect

Ronaldo has a lot to learn; If he continues to do that, he will get injured, even if it is off of a clean tackle because it will be a hard tackle and he will end up on the ground hurt. If you watch after that play, and as the game ends, Fabregas has a word with him. You can see him telling Ronaldo he lacks respect. As a fan I don't see how you can appreciate it when a player gets too cocky. That's why I love Ronaldinho and Robinho; they aren't being flashy to rub shit in thier opponents face. Ronaldo does this way too much for me.

Quote me when I said you said that.

Just ... I hate when players get (intentionally) kicked for "showboating" by some wank of a player and then even get cirticized for it 'cause "when you do stepovers you're showing disrespect".

I hope Ronaldo told Fabregas "Fuck off, mate. Go have a chat with Hoyte about it."
