good match-ups as well, this has good potential to be an exciting football weekend :01:
Sure does, its Arsenal & Man U's only hope of silverware this season too so they will both be going for it
1-0 Arsenal and El Hadji Thug sent off after 15 minutes
Flamini is playing the wrong sport
:lol:
So he was the rugby tackler
Boltan played well, and Arsenal didn't take some really good chances, i think both sides will be really disappointed with the result
Gutted Diouf got sent off, he was probably Bolton's best hope of getting a result.
I'm out for the United game later. I know you'll all be wishing them the best :ermm:
without a doubt :01:
Totters were fucked over by the ref. It should have been 1-1.
The bastard. :angry:
what do you reckon to a tasty Man U v Arsenal semi final? :01:
Suits me. :shifty:Quote:

C'mon, the ref received threats, how the feck is that Jose's fault? :unsure:
He slagged of the ref just like Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex do week in week out in the Premiership.
I've never known UEFA to call anyone the 'enemy of football' before. It's pretty shocking.
I think Mourinho was being a bit petty with his comments about the ref but obviously, his words will influence what the Chelsea fans do wrt threats and stuff - so he does have a degree of responsibility. That said it's the same with Wenger but as far as I know, Wenger - nor SAF - have ever accused a ref of corruption.
That's probably what UEFA didn't like.
Surely everytime you say the ref did favours for one team that is implying corruption? :unsure:
No. They don't say that, mostly Wenger is pretty clever about his words - except when he called RVN a cheat, outright.
They accuse the referee of ineptitude or of being weak in the face of protestations from the crowd/players. When Mourinho accused Rijkaard of going into Frisk's dressing room, he called the ref and Rijkaard cheats - 'cos that's strictly against the rules.
I think Mourinho is hot headed and doesn't take advice from others, if he'd run his statement past Kenyon, for example, then he would have been advised against mentioning the part about the dressing room, but as I say - he doesn't take advice well.
I still don't see how that can mean he is the reason for the death threats.
I mean many footballers & managers and also prolly refs have had death threats before,there has never been such outcry and blame placing though
I mean Beckham was hung from a lampost and burnt ffs :lol:
As I say, there is a degree of responsibility on the coach for the effects that his words will have on fans. Mourinho is no more to blame for the threats than any other manager who has slated a ref.
However, in this case one of the best refs in the world has resigned directly because of Mourinho's words and the effects of his words. I don't think Frisk resigned just because of the threats - that was the final straw after having his integrity repeatedly called into question by Mourinho.
If the conversation did take place then surely that would be the correct outcome?
If he did have a half time meeting with Rikjard thenhis integrity would be questionable and therefore no longer suitable as one of the world's best refs
That's a big if, Dan.Quote:

Mourinho made it up on the spur of the moment. But supposing that he really did see Rijkaard going into the ref's room, he should have made damn sure he had proof before saying anything on TV.
Otherwise he just ends up looking like sour grapes.
Meh, otherwise it ends up looking like sour grapes :toocooltoedit:
:lol: shrivelled and wrinkled.
you been spying on thier changing rooms yourself? :ohmy:
I must admit I do think what he said was probably bollocks too
Yep :D

Who gets the FA Cup's UEFA place if (somehow) Man Utd get to the final versus Arsenal?
Probably Middlesboro', Villa, Spurs, Bolton or Charlton - whoever finishes 6th in the league. Can't see it being anyone else http://www.sighost.us/members/danb/angel_not.gif
Btw, the CL draw is at eleven today and the UEFA draw is at midday, I think. Good result in the week, mate. Why can't Shearer score like that in the Premiership any more :netty:
