Football Banter

I remember 5 seasons back when Taylor caused eduardo's horrific injury, Wenger did say "what is this guy playing football for" but I also did remember a couple of days after that he did admit that what he said was overboard and he apoligised, doubt fergie would do that, sometimes I don't blame rafa for arguing with him back in 2009

Even with the scoreline, I still suspected it was a lukewarm atmosphere at the final whistle, just from watching on the television. But I am pleased you routed Villa.... you must be wishing you could play them every week..

I'm a bit worried that if we keep this up Roman will start getting ideas and sticks by Benitez, will be kind of ironic if the one manager we all want gone is the only one Abramovich doesn't sack.

Never know what to expect when we play Villa at the Bridge. 8-0 today, lost 1-3 last season, won 7-1 I think the season before that, and 4-4 before that.

I know - I'm finding the Villa's results the hardest to guess in the predictions thread. I mean they go and beat Liverpool 3-1 last week which I still can't believe happened, especially after today, and I wouldn't be surprised if they thrash Spurs on Boxing Day.

Still its nice for me when they get a drubbing like today - because it means some of the guys down the pub won't be able to give me as much stick over the Wolves!

I'm sorry, but Real Madrid are in meltdown at the moment.

There is clearly a divide in that squad and it was even more evident in their 3-2 defeat to Malaga that there is a poisonous atmosphere in that squad when Mourinho left Casillas out of the team.

They are both so leaky in defence these days and I think the goals scored will be close, but I think Man United will score more and go through.

Fergie said recently also that he won't be doing any transfer business in January, but I think thats a mistake. They need another winger like James Rodrigeuz because I don't think Valencia or Young are top quality anymore for a club like Man United and they also need someone like Strootman, who can win the ball and tackle.

Man United are two midfielders away from being the strong favourites to win the Champions League.

Dan don't worry I saw the Malaga game lol and your right it's a mess no doubt but the president is keeping him because they are still in the CL so they have no excuse to sack him, make no mistake about it Perez wants him out but will give him the chance to see out the CL campaign

According to guillem balague real are desperate for Carlo ancelotti believe it or not

I heard Rafa Benitez is in the frame for the job when he leaves Chelsea at the end of the season.

Might be good, I think they need to go back to hiring a Spanish manager, they hired so much foreign coaches like schuster, pellegrini (very good coach) and just sacked them afterwards when something minor is happening

I think Fergie is completely over reacting to the Williams/Van Persie incident.

I don't think Williams intentionally meant to belt the ball against Van Persie's head.

Like players in most games of football if not all games of football get a belt in the head from a powerful shot, from a player, who blasts a free kick into a wall or any other type of situations.

If Fergie wants bans for this well then there is going to be a lot of calls for bans when similar situations arise.

What are we going to do let the game become more pc by introducing helmets to be worn to prevent incidents like this? Its crazy.

I actually found it funny when it happened particularly when Van Persie fell over trying to grab Williams

Here is the incident here

Also there is another funny incident here when Bale scores an own goal by getting a belt in the face from the ball that was kicked by Lennon
