"Man Utd Lucky..."

I'm a Man Utd and Pompey fan, so I was pretty much buggered today, I was rooting for Pompey and feel that they have been hard done by not to get a replay out of it.

Yes United dominated the first half-hour or so, but when pompey got back into it, they looked like a different team. It's fair to say that they outplayed United for a great deal of the game.

I really cant believe how unlucky Nigel Quashie was when he was through on goal, in slow-mo you can see that the ball bobbled right as he hit it. But I still have no idea what he was doing. Slotting it past Carol looked like the best option

Now, Uniteds second penalty leading to their third was considered a clean cut Peno to everyone, but on the replay Hayden Foxe got a touch on it, so surely that means he played the ball? How is that a dead-cert penalty?

So 3:1 United, 83 minutes gone, Feeling slightly miffed when... TODOROV SCORES YEEEE... bullsh..

OFFSIDE??? WTF? Toddy was inline with the ball when it was played, Have they changed the rules for the umpteenth time again?

I'd pretty much given up by then, so I baggered off upstairs with the commentator saying "Scholes is through..."

Still, I guess it was a win-win situation for me, and it was a good taste of Premiership life for the soon to be, Division 1 champions...

First half looked pretty good and at 2-0 up I think United starting slacking a bit, after the break we had P.Neville and Stewart in Centre midfield, which obviously didn't help things and swayed advantage to Pompey. However Pompey had their chances and weldone to them, they are at the top of div 1 and personally I hope they do well in the premeirship.

It was something I received by email the other day, your comment about Forlan reminded me I had it.

That is simply awesome!

Wookiee , here is a test for you it will be right up your street.

Do NOT allow yourself more than 10 minutes for the entire exam. And
your times starts..........now!

1. Roy is 78 yards away from the referee at Old Trafford. David is 65
yards away and Gary 37 yards away. If Roy can run at 21 mph, David at 16mph, and Gary at 6mph, who will be sticking their vein bulging forehead into the ref's face first, assuming Roy does not stop to decapitate an opponent on the way????

2. If one minute of injury time is taken up in a game for substitutions,
and one minute for injuries, how much injury time will be added on by the
referee in Man Utd are losing at home???

3. Ryan is a Welshman. Express as a percentage the number of friendly
internationals he has missed on a Wednesday evening compared to the
miraculous recoveries he has made for the following Saturday when United
are back in action

4. Man Utd are the giants of world football. How many more European Cup
finals have they appeared in than Steaua Bucharest??

5. Phil Neville has 37 international caps. If you take away the number of
appearances when he was the only adult male in England who could just
about kick the ball with his left foot, how many are left???

6. You are the referee at Old Trafford. How near to a visiting defender
does Ruud van "Kneestillsore" need to be to earn a penalty if he goes down
in the box?? Round your answers down to the nearest 20 yards.

7. Alex and 30,000 of his friends had hotel rooms booked in Glasgow for 15
May 2002. How many chickens were counted before they were hatched???

8. Rio is a good defender. He cost Alex £30m. Sami and Stephane are World
Class defenders. They cost Gerard £6m in total. Who got the better deal???

9. Alex has won it once. Bob has won it 3 times. Alex has one, Bob does
not. What are we referring to?? Explain your answer (because nobody else
can!!)

10. Quinton is a non-EU national and needs to play in 70% of games to keep
his work permit. Since 1999, he has played 43 games out of a possible 185.
Express as a percentage the number of games he has missed, and explain
why he has not yet been deported!

11. Diego cost Alex £7.5m and has scored one goal in 33 games. Jamie
Carragher has never played for United and has scored twice for them.
a) which of the 2 men is the more potent goalscorer for United?

b) How many more tiers should United build on the Stretford End to ensure
Diego's shots remain inside Old Trafford

99% possesion vs oxford...

ooooh meow.
