Chelsea bored United into submission at Stamford Bridge and now need just three wins to clinch the title. Congratulations knobheads, shame no-one gives a fuck. The worst title winning side I can remember, they’re so much less than the sum of their parts because of their anti-football, shitkicker of a manager. United’s last title winning team was bang average but at least they didn’t go out with the intention of spoiling games and relying on one flair player to do his thing.
Mourinho actually had Matic and Zouma as his central midfield pairing, because he wanted to nullify big bogbarush Fellaini. That’s like us going with Lucas and Sakho, it’d never happen (Brendan would prefer to let Fellaini have the freedom to do whatever he likes!). Only Mourinho would pull that crap, at home, against an injury hit United, when his team are well clear at the top of the table. He gets off on this shit, he’d rather win ugly than hammer someone. The ends always justify the means with him. 30% possession at home when you’re playing anyone other than Barcelona is ridiculous, but as he said afterwards “the game went exactly as they planned it”. I believe him too.
I noticed that Fabregas was wearing a mask. I don’t blame him, if I was as talented an attacking player as him I wouldn’t want to be associated with that kind of sterile, shithouse defensive performance either. Maybe Hazard will play with a bag over his head next week. A plastic bag with no air-holes preferably. What, did I go too far?
The game ended in controversy when Herrera wanted a penalty but was booked for simulation. Mike Dean got it right, Herrera didn’t exactly dive but he wasn’t caught by Cahill either, he actually kicked the defender’s leg deliberately to initiate contact. On first viewing I thought it was a pen but it was well spotted by Dean. Can’t help thinking he should have given it though, just for a laugh. Imagine Mourinho’s reaction?
Dean is a bit of a shithouse really. I doubt he’d have given it even if Cahill had ran him over with a truck (and Cahill’s got some balls on him kicking off on Herrera as I remember him winning a pen earlier this season with a blatant dive, so who the fuck is he to be getting all high and mighty?). It was exactly a year to the day that Dean gave Sunderland a pen that Borini converted in a 2-1 win at the Bridge. Mourinho absolutely hammered him after that, and by not giving Herrera a pen Dean has basically let the scruffy twat make him his bitch now. Stand up for yourself Dean, you baldy headed, beady eyed little Wirral fuck.
United’s line up looked weak as shit on paper yet they completely dominated the game and should have taken something from it. They had a centre back pairing of McNair and Smalling for Fowler’s sake. It’s been the same for most of the season yet their record is pretty good. It proves what I’ve said for ages about our defensive problems though. People often blame the players and say they aren’t good enough, but the centre backs we’ve had over the last three years are streets ahead of those two chumps at United, not to mention those at clubs like Palace and Stoke who were conceding less than us.
The only way Rodgers was able to stop us shipping goals was to play with three centre backs, any time we’ve played with two we’ve looked as wobbly as a jelly on a tumble drier. It’s coaching, not personnel.
The other thing is Falcao. He’s so far out of his comfort zone over here. We’ve seen it before; Shevchenko, Morientes, Soldado, Kezman.. strikers who were great everywhere else they played but shite in England. Somewhat bizarre then that we’re being linked with a summer move for him then (probably by the Star, Metro or Echo, they’re all as bad as each other these days). Yeah, coz FSG are in the habit of paying those kind of wages to ANYONE, let alone a player pushing 30 with a chequered injury history and who has flopped in the Premier League.
Van Gaal didn’t take the defeat very well and his post match interview was so excruciating to watch it was almost Mourinho-like. Not sure what the poor BBC interviewer did to piss him off but it wasn’t pleasant viewing. I’d heard that Van Gaal was an arsehole before he took the United job, but this was the first time I’ve seen it. With only a few weeks of the season left he’s done pretty well to hide it this long.
Phil Neville said on MOTD “I knew it was going to be dull”. Being called dull by Phil fucking Neville?? Congratulations Jose, you’ve outdone yourself this time.
Elsewhere on Saturday, Leicester made it three wins on the bounce with a relatively straightforward win at home to Swansea. Ulloa scored early and King scored late in a 2-0 win. The Foxes are going to be this year’s Sunderland aren’t they?
Burnley don’t look like being so fortunate as the goals have completely dried up and they’re now bottom after losing 1-0 at the Pit. Heaton saved an early penalty from Barkley after flavour of the month Aaron Lennon had been fouled OUTSIDE the area. How come Bilbo Baines isn’t on pens anymore? He’s only missed one hasn’t he, has he lost his nerve or something? Then Mirallas mis-hit a shot but his awful touch took him past the last man and allowed him to score.
Ashley Barnes was then sent off for two stupid fouls before half time. He’s committed more fouls than any other player in the league apparently and he’s a bit of a clogger isn’t he? He’s not dangerous like that Mirallas twat though. His high, shithouse lunge at Boyd was disgraceful but as usual, he got away with it. Sean Dyche said afterwards that “I don’t think he’s a malicious player” which just tells me that he’s not seen much of him as he is an absolute fucking menace.
West Brom picked up a much needed win at Pulis’ old stamping ground. It took them only a minute to take the lead as a totally unmarked James Morrison headed in from a corner. He had the six yard box all to himself, it was scandalous defending. Pardew tried to pin it on my boy J-Punch, the slimeball.
Gardner doubled their lead with a trademark piledriver from 30 yards. He can’t half hit a ball that lad. Dwight Gayle then headed against the bar from two yards. Figures, he only ever scores against us that little shitbag. Sanogo thought he’d pulled one back but the linesman decided otherwise. Arlarse that, you’d think he’d have just kept his flag down allowed the poor lad a rare moment of glory as he might never do that again. Until he plays us anyway.
Moving on, and Schneiderlin gave Southampton the lead at Stoke but goals from Diouf and Adam did us a favour and kept the Saints behind us for another week. I’ve always said that goal difference tells you a lot about where a team should be and Southampton’s goal difference is 10 better than ours at the moment, so what does that say? It says us and Spurs still have a job on our hands to finish above them as they’ve been better than both of us so far.
City have been hopelessly out of form since the turn of the year and were only four points ahead of us going into their game on Sunday. Fortunately for them they were playing West Ham, a side who have been in even worse form than them. And let’s face it, expecting a favour from Fat Sam is never going to end well is it?
Fernando was preferred to Fernandinho in midfield but would anyone even know the difference if one was sent out in the others shirt? City took the lead when the hapless James Collins scored a peach of an own goal. He’s a dog him isn’t he? One of the worst cloggers in the league, except when he plays against Suarez and bizarrely turns into Franco Baresi.
Aguero added a second after a devastating counter attack and that’s how it finished. City are still not very good but it won’t matter because they’ve got enough games against poor sides to ensure they get the points they need. Besides, there’s no way we’re winning all of our remaining games anyway. If City did stumble Spurs would be the most likely to benefit.
Speaking of Spurs, they picked up a predictable three points on Sunday as they beat hapless Newcastle. Figures really, we beat Newcastle too and us and Spurs are like identical twins these days.
Some Newcastle fans boycotted the game in protest at Mike Ashley. I’d wish them well with that except I remember the thick twats taunting us with chants of “USA! USA!” when we were having our own ownership battle, so fuck them. Fuck Mike Ashley too, obviously.
Chadli put Spurs ahead with a shot that Krul probably should have saved. Newcastle can feel aggrieved as Chadli really should have been sent off within seconds of the opening whistle. How the referee failed to spot that ridiculous little pony tail thing he was sporting is beyond me. That’s one of the worst sights in today’s society, hair shaved at the sides and what’s left on top dragged kicking and screaming into the most pitiful little pony tail you’ll see. Shocking stuff.
Maybe I’m over reacting but I’m like that these days, it must be an age thing as stupid little things are sending me into a rage since I hit my 40s. Things bother me far more than they should. Like seeing an iconic movie character advertising some shitty product on TV. Ernie has done it, Sly has done it and a little piece of me dies every time I see/hear Winston Wolf plugging insurance on the TV/Radio. I mean what next, Han Solo advertising bog roll? Yoda already sold out so nothing would surprise me anymore.
Anyway, Colback equalised seconds after the break but Eriksen’s free-kick put Spurs ahead again. It was actually a cross but again Krul didn’t cover himself in glory. Harry Kane wrapped it up in stoppage time with his 30th of the season. Well done to him, he’d probably get my vote for player of the season, mainly because he doesn’t play for Chelsea.
As always, John Carver managed to find some positives, saying his side looked great in the pre-match warm up and they can take something from that moving forward.
Not really, but be honest, I had you going there didn’t I?
Dave
