"A Midfield Destroyed" sounds like the name of a third-rate cube diary about Man Utd's injury crisis.

[Summers]

That sounds, at worst, second-rate.

Baddar has a weird way of spelling A Midfield Destroyed.

The rule is goalscoring opportunity, same as with a foul, but Dzekos in one on one so certainly is. Poor decision, but didn't change the game.

Best non goal scoring handball ever though, NBA-esque.

[Summers]

I liked how he pulled his hand away, thought about it, then palmed it away.

[Matt]

How can you argue that that wasn't a red card? He was clean through on goal and realistically the only player that could've stopped Aguero(?) having a one-on-one with the keeper was the player that committed the handball.

Edit: Mancini's card-waving is disgusting though, it's not acceptable for players to do it, so it's not acceptable for managers either.

Oh, come on!

I think its probably just me, but I don't think Mancinis card waving is as big a thing as its being made out to be. Yes, players waving cards in front of the ref to try and influence him is out of order, but on the sidelines? I don't see much difference between that and almost every other manager in the league yelling at the fourth official that its a red.

Saw on SSN that Wane Runey has tweeted about it, seems to have some beef with some fella called Manchini though?

[Summers]

Well, Mancini can't expect Rooney not to do it if he does it. He also sets a very bad example to his players. Rooney can stay out of it, he's just as bad.

[Lineker]

Yup, Mancini says he was just copying Rooney.

[Dingle]

I see he's hoping to be crowned as Mr. Mature!

[The Lusophone]

Real classy Mancini.

Especially as Rooney's clearly the first person ever to do that ever in the history of football ever.

[METALMAN]

He's not. :/

[Baddar]

Piss off, metalman.

[Lineker]

Fuck off, Baddar.

[METALMAN]

Go and die alone in a hole Baddar, you complete and utter trollop.

[Baddar]

Go and troll in donators or something.

[METALMAN]

go and have a wank over denis irwin or something

[Colly]

You're all ignoring the most important part, Mancini agrees with me that getting annoyed and waving on the touchline is different to waving cards in the face of a referee. Me and Mancini, best mates.

[MDK]

Handbags at dawn, guys.
