United fans bemoaning the luck of other clubs is pretty funny.

Uppercut would love the foul on Downing by the Udinese defender. Will find a gif if I can.

Solidly professional foul.

There's some irritating stories that won't die in sport recently, Cashleys tweet:

Seems a pretty reasonable assessment of himself and Captain Racist.

Cole maybe doesn't want to get to 100 caps then.

England have been in desperate need of a clear out for a good 2 years at least. If the managers are too soft then it's good that the 'golden' shower generation are committing seppuku.

Yep, agree with you totally on this. Cole wouldn't have been first on my list to get rid of, but he's another to go. The Tweet just reaffirms his lack of judgement and massive ego. If we can get rid of two of 'em, perhaps three with Rio, then good. You have a feeling Hodgson would just stick Terry and Cole in his squad forever.

God bless Twitter, now for Frank Lampard to publically back Jimmy Saville on there, and Gerrard to call Bobby Moore an over-rated ****, and we're sorted.

WAG. Love a good cheat.

But they do really need to bring in harsher punishments for that kind of stuff.

I liked it better when we had a monopoly on thoroughly undeserved results.

Should've stuck to inserting mobile devices into rectal orifices, IMHO.

Allegedly, etc.

Renowned wuckfit as he is, I'd love to know the thought process that went on there.

Yea he's basically just drawn attention to the fact that he's an arse and a liar. Now the news stories are reporting on the bull****ting and email exchanges so he could align his lies with the lies Captain Racist told.

And I'm utterly baffled how Captain Racist got off on the legal charge if there was all this evidence of changing stories, videos of the expressions etc. It was a far fetched crock of ****e to start off with, you may as well not bother convicting anyone if you say there was enough to doubt to let the piece of excrement get a not guilty verdict with all the other corroborating evidence.

Indeed so. Absolutely stinks to high heaven. After the incident occurred but before the clip appeared on YouTube Terry's "people" were busy briefing all their pet hacks that he'd called Rio jr an " effing blind ****". The story was only altered to his improbable questioning of Ferdinand when the damning video was released into the public domain.

I'm no legal expert, but I strongly suspect this is one of those instances where doubt (which always exists outside of confessions, however infintesimally small) has been conflated with reasonable doubt.
