The "Official" 2013/14 Other teams matches thread

Napoli out - first time ever a team doesn't proceed to the CL knockout stage with four wins.

Had we reached the CL this year, I'm sure it would've been us. Avoiding this, is a positive. 8-[
 
Two challenges so far this month and Arsenal have failed to win..

Emirates Marketing Project away next.

He really is. Full interview is a disgrace...

The Manchester United winger revealed both Sir Alex Ferguson and his successor David Moyes have had words with him about his frequent tumbles in the penalty area, but he does not seem ready to change his ways.

"It's been talked about by the previous manager and the current manager, but that's in-house," Young said in several newspapers.

"I'm not going to comment on what's been said. I understand what you're saying (about gaining a reputation) and everyone is going to have their say on it, but the referees are giving decisions and that is where I think it lies."

Young was booked for simulation against Crystal Palace this season but then won a controversial penalty later in the same game, while he also appeared to go over easily in the Champions League match away to Real Sociedad.

The 28-year-old incensed fans of his former club last season when he went down against Aston Villa, United's opponents on Sunday.

"I remember getting booked against Palace and then won a penalty," he said. "Against Sociedad it was another penalty that was given. Referees have got tough decisions to make, they have a tough time out there making decisions, but they have made the right decisions I think.

"I don't take notice of the headlines or the debates. That's obviously for people to have their say on it, and everyone is entitled to have their say on it. For me, the referees have made decisions and that's it."

Young has struggled to hold down a place in Moyes' side this season, and has been singled out by a section of United's fans for criticism, leaving his World Cup hopes in the balance.

"Obviously it's been disappointing I've not been involved as much as I'd have liked," he added. "Right now, I'm not thinking about the World Cup, I'm thinking about playing for United.

"You always want to play in the biggest tournaments, so of course I want to be on that plane but I don't think there's a player who has been involved in the squad that doesn't."


good comment hah... 'I've been robbing loads of houses, but the police haven't stopped me, so I think it lies with them really.'

Is it me or is there a real lack of top class goalkeepers in world football? Even the best ones like Lloris and Neuer make more mistakes than the likes of Schmeichel did when he was one of the best.

absolutely, the general standard of keeping has gone through the floor in the last decade
 
I have mainly been singing this song today

Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold

Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold

Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Hes no more of a "prick" (cheat) than any other player tbh.

They all cheat. Whether it be through diving, shirt pulling, obstructing etc etc. All players cheat to help their team.

I dont really understand the logic of singling out "divers". This is no worse an offense than those ive mentioned above.

Diving is a particularly disgusting form of cheating, as it involves play acting......
 
Hopefully Emirates Marketing Project and ourselves can add to our home wins this weekend...

At least Young is being honest (a little ironic, perhaps). None of this "Oh, I'm only trying to avoid injury" crap that the others come out with. He dives to win penalties and won't stop because it helps his team.

I don't like him, I don't like diving...BUT, if any of our players hurl themselves to the floor and we win with a last minute penalty, knocking the goons out of the cup next month...I'll be jumping for joy!
 
Why do people feel the need to stick up for ****s...

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert believes Manchester United winger Ashley Young does not dive intentionally.

Young, who traded Villa Park for Old Trafford in the summer of 2011, has been accused of diving on several occasions over the past few years, and spoke out about the issue this week.

The 28-year-old England international was unapologetic, saying: "The referees are giving decisions and that is where I think it lies."

And, giving his thoughts on the issue ahead of Villa's home Barclays Premier League clash with United on Sunday, Lambert - who arrived at Villa a year after Young's departure - said: "I don't think he actually dives intentionally, trying to throw himself around.

"I don't know Ashley Young at all, but I wouldn't say he is one of these lads who just goes out and tries to dive.

"He tries to do good things on the football pitch and sometimes you get caught - sometimes players move that quick and the slightest nick can take you over, and then it is up to the referee to call it the way he sees it.

"I don't see him as being a diving-type player. Maybe some decisions have been highlighted because the incidents have involved him."
