^^No you don't do that ever.Arsenal might have the last laugh yet. It is not professional and it is disrespectful. Even Ferguson criticized Nani for it.

Although, he was doing it on the run so he could have just trying to do something different. It wasn't near as bad as Edilson anyway.

He was lucky it was Arsenal and not Palmeiras or he would have been killed lol.
 
How is it any different to the flicks and tricks we see every week in the Premiership, from Ronaldo or Fabregas or Joe Cole? There are plenty of times when they do showboat instead of playing a simple pass.
 
No, but when you're four goals up against your title rivals, having utterly demolished them for the entire game, I think you're entitled to show off a little.

No, you are not. Somehow im surprised thats the way you think. Would i not have been ManU i do think your opinion might be a little bit different.

I don't know why everyone has demonised Nani for some ball juggling rather than Gilberto and Gallas for kicking the stuffing out of him - before and after.

It wasnt really ok in any way either. But Nani was begging for it.
 
Why do people get annoyed if someone showboats? Jeez...lets take all the fun out of the game and kick it out of play.

Nani's showboating is alot different to Edilsons btw.
 
I saw the game right up until the second half and the card, pretty much played by then. Even though I don't like Man U I was thoroughly impressed with their play. Admittedly, Arsenal was weak, but those young guns (Nani, Anderson) were awesome.

And even though what Nani did was a bit arrogant I don't see what the big deal is. Like Ilu said, it's not like it's a lower league team. They're one of your archrivals and you wiped them off the grass, let the boy have it's fun.

It's stupid because you know the other side will get pissed and try to kick you in half, but that's a different matter.

Oh yeah, and LMAO @ that Palmeiras - Corins match. wtf man? how many suspensions did they get outta that? brazilian football, man, crazy
 
Benitez is an idiot... I can't believe this...

When you have Crouch in your squad and you are 1 man up, you stretch the opposition, cross the ball in the box and wait until you score... either that or fucking counter attack rapidly.

This is getting ridiculous.
 
yay 2-0. Good result but i have to admit that Materazzi's sending off and Cordoba going off helped us. Great goal by Gerrard. Vieira looked very poor when he came on.
 
^^maybe it was payback for other nasty things he has gotten away with in the past. I don't feel one bit sorry for the prick.
 
smh at the ref...wtf did Mataazzi do? Cordoba was a beast too.

David Suazo should start for Inter.


oh shut up, he didn't call 2 obvious penalities including a handball by Vieira that definitly affected the cross!

all in all, he fucking sucked as a ref lol.
 
Materazzi would have got himself sent off sooner or later.

Hopefully that result keeps Benitez in a job for a while. At least until they travel to Old Trafford.
