Nani got what he deserved, you can't have that carry on. Lucky for him it wasn't in a tight game.

I dont think anyone is saying he didnt get what he deserved.

if you look at the replay neil bends down and it actually looks like he's going to pinch his penis :eek: and that's when nani jumps up

Wouldnt have made his saturday night any better if Neill made contact

kmart6

Cause he's one goal away from being the joint record holder in the Premiership,he's grown up enough not to get booked after that second one,and an injury can happen anywhere....so he coulda took the chance!

Hmmmm, some are blaming Neil but there is no excuse for lashing out.

RasTa wrote: »

Neil is a disgrace tbh but that's the modern game. If he stays on his feet it's a yellow each I'm sure. Anyway should be an interesting 2nd half

Necronomicon

There is no excuse for what Nani did, but Neil was far from innocent at the same time.

Ends 4-1, not bad for ten men

I presume Grant will be on a rant about the result now as it was obvious to all the hammers didnt try :rolleyes:

It seems strikers arent in the mood today....
No goals in the most important match for relegation,Santa Cruz again scored,Middlesbrough on good way to secure premiership status

Aquos76

Wigan have just taken the lead against Villa as have fulham against Brum

CantGetNoSleep

Reading are in trouble I feel, bad news for Ireland

Aquos76

Wigan 2-0 up now.

mike65

G'wan Wigan!

Mike.

Dave!

Mike do you want Wigan to win so that they're safe before playing United, so they'll put in a weak performance against us and we'll win the league?

Not at all, sure he plays for City

Great win for Utd, Nani should be fined 2 weeks wages for that sh!te.. delighted to see ferguson take a hard line with him. Fergie said he thought the decision was right which means Nani's gonna be in his black book.

Anyway, typical Ronaldo this season, scored a goal with his manhood which takes the piss :rolleyes:

Plenty of time to prepare for Wigan and it may even be done and dusted by then as i don't think Chelsea are gonna walk over Newcastle the way they think they are...

Sizzler

I have a sneaky feeling Owen is going to score on Monday and Chelsea get stuck in the mud with a 1-1 :pac:

Sizzler

Fulham get a 2nd, fair play ! Some comeback after the 2 nil loss at home to the pool a few weeks ago!

You are reading farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr too much into my admiration for Valencia who Liverpool are going to make a move for it seems.

Mike.

kaisersose77

and Birmingham might finally realise it was Walter Smith who done all the hard work in nearly getting Scotland to euro2008 while McLeish got all the praise when he lost most of his important games.

Im_No_Superman

If Bolton beat Sunderland and they are safe, have to say didnt see that coming! Would prefer Fulham and Reading to stay up tbh.

machiavellianme

Fair play to Fulham, had them written off about 5 games ago, now it looks like they could stay up! :eek:

delija_sever029

FT Aston Villa 0 - 2 Wigan Athletic

Lets hope Sunderland go there and win, so that Bolton have something to play for against Chelsea

Have a look at the replay after the incident on this clip

cheers. didn't notice the whole arm movement the first time... bizarre. you often see defenders trying little tricks like that though to provoke players, nothing new, Nani showed his immaturity there.

Hey guys
Would anyone know how to watch the Sunderland game online? Thanks.

Don't worry I'm sure Sunderland will snap up all that irish talent.

go to www.rojadirecta.com (you need to have sopcase downloaded)

therecklessone

Two of Brum, Bolton and Reading to go down would be nice.

Love visiting Craven Cottage, and am delighted Wigan stayed up as it's another great day out.

Xavi6

God I hope Long Ball Wanderers go down. Awful to watch. I bet they only bought that Steinsson fella in January cause he has a long throw.

So you are cheering for Keano today Xavi?

invincibleirish

I hope Fulham stay up, fairplay, went to see them V Newcastle at Xmas ( i happened to be in London on the weekend) and Craven Cottage is a blast from the past.

Nah, a draw will do. Once Kenwyne Jones score for my fantasy team. 1-1 please. Sure Bolton are guaranteed to lose next week anyway

Well you'll have to cheer on Kea.....Jones on now, Bolton 1-0 up Diouf.

Xavi6

Yeah if there's anyone I have as much hatred for as I have for Keane it's that guy.

Im_No_Superman

Yeah he is a cert in everyones most hated players team!

Vokes

Just in from Craven Cottage. Twas an electric atmosphere and some great weather - the football on show was ok too. Brum however really were toothless. Zarate looked like he was gonna spark a revivial of sorts but faded too. Fingers crossed for them versus Portsmouth.

You would have to fancy them against Pompy who seem to be just focusing on the cup final in the last few weeks.

Xavi6

Here come the eL lads for Sundireland

PHB

Gah, ffs Sunderland, so sad that Bolton are going to stay up.

Fulham or Reading now, Reading playing Derby, Fulham playing Portsmouth who will field a bunch of kids.

Reading will beat Derby, no doubt about it.

Another team looks likely to stay up due to players fielding weakened teams against them on the last day of the season.

_blank_

What score in that match?

Xavi6

1-0 Bolton

Jones just missed a sitter from four yards after O'Donovan's knock down. Bastard.

PHB

Fulham make it 2. Reading need Portsmouth to do them a favour now I'd hate to see a good footballing side that attacks like Reading go down.

Xavi6

Darryl Murphy just got his name on the score sheet. Pity it was at the wrong feckin end. Bolton safe.

Unless of course they go on a scoring spree and turn that awful goal difference around. Bolton probably safe now

herbieflowers

they ain't scored in 7 games or summat, it's all about form at this stage but they ought to beat Derby.

PHB

IMO they will beat Derby, the question is will Harry put out a team against Fulham. At least Diarra and Defoe will be playing, so it'll be half decent. Those two players could beat Fulham normally, but a Fulham fighting from relegation I"m not so sure

If Reading do go down, I can see a lot of their players being poached. Hunt Bikey and Doyle for sure.

herbieflowers

I doubt it, but it's still a difficult place to get a result, draw written all over it imo

PHB

Reading are almost certain to win against Derby though.
