"Van the man is in the doc"

looks like hes being investigated after his nasty tackle on Cole yesterday from what I see it was nasty and quite frankly hopes he gets a heavy ban The Game could do with out that ........ the papers were full of it too saying United and Riley are cheats lol my view is he did catch him even if it was minimal it was a silly challenge

A 3 match ban is an absolute disgrace in my opinion, whether he "admitted" it or not.

Yeah, got a 3 game ban now.

"There was no malice in the challenge", he said earlier. Now he's saying that he agrees there was foul play involved.

...

Now he's admitted it and will most likely serve a 3 game ban.

HA HA HA

YEAH RIGHT!

"It was a 50-50 ball and in these situations two players can collide."

Lock up the horse face bloke

I think Ruud's challenge was some revenge from the abuse he took from the Arsenal thugs at OT last season, fair play to him - I would have done exactly the same.

You're not making sense, here. I fail to see how a deliberate (and it was deliberate, seeing as he was nowhere near the ball) lunge at someone's knee merits the same kind of punishment as diving. And also by your logic, surely Rooney should be fined as well? You say you're not a Man United fan, yet your inability to pick up on the most simple and basic flaws Man United made yesterday suggest otherwise.

Anyway, of course you've seen worse tackles than that. Most people have seen Roy Keane's idiotic and violent attack on that Man City player a few seasons back...

RVN is in the doc?
Ooh, scandalous. I'm sure the physio won't be happy about this story...

Yes cus the whole Arsenal squad have legs made from paper. I've seen worse tackles, and for the most part I dont think it was deliberate. And no I'm not a ManU fan. If Ruud gets a fine or whatever, then exaples should be made of all the diving idiots on the Arsenal team, in some form or another.
