Fact in any other game there is no way there would have been over 2 minutes never mind 4, but if all the in-breds believe MOTD2 then why was there only 4 minutes ? 4 goals second half, 3 subs a few fouls, then why not 7 minutes. Also if e are adding a minute for Bellamys goal why not extra minute for Owen. Its all one sided and always has been.

So it came as no surprise to me that he simply continued the match until the rags scored a winner. He played nearly seven minutes of non-existent injury time FFS. That's not a mistake, nor an equipment failure - they do have more than one watch, right? - it's something far more sinister than that. Whether directly via bungs, or indirectly through bullying and coercion Manchester United have prevailed, as it seems they always will. <br /><br />You can be equally sure, by the way, that nothing will come of any investigation into Javier Garrido being struck by a coin and that Craig Bellamy will be summarily hung out to dry for some altercation with some Kentish rag after the game. I hope Bellamy knocked his stupid inbred head off.<br /><br />One law for the scum, one law for the rest of us.Black Sheep Radicalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917019897356633416.post-46394591767847622892009-09-20T20:46:12.015+01:002009-09-20T20:46:12.015+01:00Ashwin did you even read the article, it seems not...Ashwin did you even read the article, it seems not.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059420257057284992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917019897356633416.post-33451610364616460812009-09-20T20:44:03.761+01:002009-09-20T20:44:03.761+01:00Ryan you said we did nothing wrong, when we did.

Lots that is why they are top teams. We did nothing wrong today, not at out best but we scored 3 goals and missed one sitter which would have took us 2-1 into half time. Second half we were under the cosh but thats what can happen when you are playing the champions at their ground. We still managed to score two goals from two chances which is very promising. Then of course we were denied a point by 4 minutes of added time (for what reason I am unsure as no physio on all half) which was somehow extended to 6 after several dubious free kick awards. And to add insult to injury after whethering the storm 2nd half they receive a free kick for a blantant dive with the referee 10 yards away and score the third - you could tell from the player reactions it was a dive yet after they score the ref seems to run away with the united players like he's part of the team.
