AvfcTheObsession Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I don't remember there being half as much interest in the Europa League when we (and even Blooz) played in it - certainly don't recall ITV showing it at peaktime - strange that now it's Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool - it get's mainstream coverage? Because those three sides have fanbases far, far bigger than ours and so attract much higher viewing figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 http://youtu.be/TbvgbLnJoPM Jason McAteer gets the whole kick in the chest thing right. He was looking at the ball so there was probably no malice meant, but I guess kneeing the guys team mate in the bollocks immediately after the flying kick removed all doubt in the referees mind. Red card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted March 8, 2013 Moderator Share Posted March 8, 2013 It is a red card and eyes on the ball or not he knows full well the player is there, Nani didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 No doubt Chiles, Southgate and Dixon will be moved by itv onto Europa league coverage now. Not Keane though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsombrero Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/sport/sport-headlines/ferguson-able-to-receive-visitors-2013030862170 Ferguson able to receive visitors 08-03-13 A DISTRAUGHT Alex Ferguson is slowly recovering from his attack of the vapours. After the unconscionable behaviour of Real Madrid and the actions of a beastly little Turk, the 71 year-old Glaswegian wallflower has taken to his bed. Man United doctors say the manager has been quite bereft ever since and describe his current condition as fragile. Assistant manager Mike Phelan said: “It’d break your heart to see him, clutching the coverlet of his bed, looking at me with those pleading, rheumy eyes and mouthing the word ‘why?’ over and over again. “He looks like some frightened fawn that lost its mother, assuming its mother had mated with a particularly rough-looking bull mastiff.” Ferguson has been able to drink some weak hibiscus tea since Tuesday but has still eaten nothing more than a few thin cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off then deep fried in batter. Manchester United has pleaded with UEFA to overturn the red card given to Nani for bravely attempting the world’s first foot-based heart surgery in the hope it will raise Ferguson’s spirits enough to at least shout weakly at a reporter. Meanwhile, players have started visiting their manager to try and help mend his shattered heart, with captain Rio Ferdinand raising a thin smile by reading some Walter Scott poetry. Phelan said: “I simply don’t understand why anyone would want to hurt such a beautiful, simple creature like Alex who wants nothing more than to belligerently demand the world do his bidding.” Edited March 8, 2013 by flamingsombrero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
