Funny, innit?

Well, well. What a Saturday. What a game, what a few games…all once again reminding us of all that we love and hate in this game.

First, Chelski-MU. Hilarious on several fronts. Man U’s utterly inept performance in the first half, the “diabolical” back pass by Carvalho, Rooney’s pleas to his team mates not to jump on him, Ballack and Frogba urguing over a goddamn free kick, the “diabolical” penalty decision, and the fisticuffs after the game. What a bunch of fools.

But the “diabolical” comments made by Sir and his assistant after the game take the bloody cake. First, Sir on the penalty:

“Absolutely diabolical…it's a major decision. Granted it hit his hand. He's not
lifted his hand above his shoulders, above his head, anything like that. The
ball is going straight to Rio Ferdinand. The referee should have seen that
rather than the linesman. If it goes down to decisions like those we're in
trouble. If we're not getting decisions we deserve then we're going to have to
perform really well."

WTF is that old bleeding fart talking about. Let’s see him say that about the Gallas decision then. “Please, Mr Ref, that was not a penalty. We don’t want it. It would be diabolical to give us a penalty just for that.”

What is it with these people and their 30-second memories. And this takes the cake. Mr Assistant Carols Queer-ass:

"It must be necessary for a player to bring a gun and shoot one of our men in the box for us to get a penalty."

Er, I don’t think so, you absolutely diabolical twat. All you need are Gallas, his hand and a ball. Moron.

But here we are. If Arse win on Monday, we’ll only be four behind the leaders. Amazing. You can only imagine all the what-ifs, should’ve-beens. But as I said, we’re still in it! Part One of my little premonition is in place.

On the relegation front, wow. Fulham sure pulled one out of the hat there, and it’s great Sunderland are safe with their last minute winner as well. I wouldn’t want to face them on the last day having to win it to stay in the league.

Big game tonight as Everton face Villa. That would be huge for both in the fight for the European place. Villa are on fire, and Everton, well, are Everton. My bet is that they’re again going to be limp right when it counts.
