Football Banter

Mario Balotelli has been poking fun at Man Utd's defeat via twitter.
But all he got back was a string of racial abuse from disgrunted Utd fans.
The police are investigating

Last 30 minutes, Leicester pissed over United, when Di Maria got took off Man Utd capitulated.

We had a player who was playing Non League football about three years ago, and he completely terrorised United all game. United going forward second half ran out of ideas, Moore & Morgan headed & cleared everything for Leicester.

Good thing about Leicester as well, is until today we haven't had Jamie Vardy & Danny Drinkwater 100% fit, we still have Matty James to come back to full fitness, all three of which were probably our best three players last season. Also we have had to call upon players who wouldn't necessarily play like Andy King & Dean Hammond, but they've performed incredibly well so far.

Still early days mind, but as Neville has just said United were soft centred. Cambiasso & Hammond can be dirty bastards when they want to be & proved that second half by getting stuck in, while Vardy's pace will trouble any team in the league, and Ulloa is a machine atm. United last 30 minutes couldn't handle any of that.

There wasn't a point in the game where there was sustained pressure from Leicester, it was a smash and grab. The penalty (that wasn't) was the turning point. Cambiasso scored a good goal to make it 3-3 and then from there it was just panic from United. Yeah they cleared everything apart from Falcao hitting the crossbar and Herrera scoring, lol. There are plenty of players with pace that are willing to run all day, most don't get away with pushing someone over and then falling like a leaf a few seconds later-and that's what pissed me off, if you're going to be physical then expect the same in return, don't dive like a little wimp.

But fair play to Leicester, they gave it a go and got a win.

Can't understand how that wasn't foul on Man United player and yet slightest contact in box and ref gives penalty and Leicester given great chance to get back in game

Hasn't anyone realised yet ?
Man Utd have a history of struggling immediately after European matches .
What's that ? They're not involved in any now ?

the original Bolton Wanderers home was Burnden park was in bolton they moved in the 90's to the outskirts of Horwich in the village of Lostock where they were building a great big retail park with Cinemas and all the trimmings i mean its the only place to get nandos in a 15mile radius

the train station that services everything in that area including the stadium and the nearby Bolton arena is called Horwich Parkway lostock has its own station

The even weirder thing is that all the Bolton Acadamy and training ground is actually in my home town Chorley which is 7 miles away in lancashire and not Greater Manchester

But is it Lostock or Horwich ?
Aerofilms Football Grounds Guide list the official address as Lostock ,Bolton BL6 6JW .
Burnden Park had its own supermarket ,it took up 70% of the away end terrace !

Why is that weird? Arsenal's training ground is 20 miles away from their stadium and not even in London. Chelsea's training ground is also 20 miles away from their stadium and not in London either. There must be many other similar examples.
