Why do you keep refering to Man Utd as United, that's quiet confusing when your reading a match report about Newcastle UNITED!

James Gowland, Newcastle, Tyne & Wear

What Mourhino forgets in these ridiculous outbursts, for which he should be brought to book, is that he probably wouldn't ever have got the job at Chelsea were it not for a very poor linesman's decision in Porto's CL quarter final against Man Utd. Paul Scholes excellent goal was ruled offside by an incompetent Russian official when he actually had 3 defenders playing him onside.

Dear robertZ, when English teams play continental teams this style cannot pass? Can I just be certain you are referring solely to the English national side, which is sorely lacking confidence and cohension? You surely cannot be referring to English club sides, which make up three quarters of this years Champion's League semi-finals, as well as finalists in each of the last two years? It really seems that "English" club football actually does rather well on the continental stage. (Hard to disagree with you about the national side though)

re your last sentence - did you catch the Man U - Roma Match? welcome you debate re cards yesterday but dont take it out of proportion - the premiership is globally observed and appreicated as the fact that you are comenting highlights - or put it another way if you dont like it im sure you can follow some local sport.

Yeah, ManU is the "English" team with Rooney, Rio and retired scholes and retiring neville.
Chelsea is the foriegn team with captain Terry, Lamps, Ashley Cole, Joe Cole and SWP. The ball is round, but first learn to count.
As for penalties not being given against United, it's a known fact. But such blatant favouratism is pitiful.
But still, ManU have tough away matches against Everton and Man City.
The Quad is still on, but if the refs do steal one for ManU, atleast the Treble is still on the cards.

john, London,

Suely we all know by now what these comments from Mourinho, Ferguson, Wenger et al are all about. They don't actually believe the nonesense they come out with anymore than we do. They do it pre-match to put pressure on referees in the hope that decesions will go in their favour and post-match to deflect attention from their own teams' poor performance when they've played badly. Don't take it so seriously folks!

Bill, Sheffield,

Sibierski wrestling Terry was not penalty? Ballack injury was fair tackle, handball was not penalty? Newcastle 0 - Chelsea 3 yellow cards?? Sorry dudes you don't know what football is...This is not good for English football because real talent is not protected. This is why there is no real creative midfielder in England team, because real artists like Wallcot,Joe Cole, Henry, Owen, Robben etc spend more time on treatmant table than playing while those who are responsible for their injuries don't even get yellow carded. The real creative talent young 16-17 yo is stoped very early by not being protected by referees. Only player that can come through this system is rugbylike type and that's how you got Rooney. As for Chelsea I understand now why Jose plays the way he does, and understand why Wenger complains about his players not being protected. But when England plays Vs continental team this style can not pass and that is your problem.

United have got their gifts in winter, in seemingly not important matches. What is happening now ( in almost every match, by the way) is just favoring the "English" team against "foreign" teams like Arsenal or Chelsea. I do not think it is all corrupted, it is simply not fair therefor damaging for the game.
It is not coincidence that English national team is so weak with so many good players around. The whole optics who is good and who is not are twisted because of the Premiership political correctness.
Happily the ball is round!

Help Mourhino has lost his memory he must have caught it from Wenger he won a european cup on poor refereeing and how many pens have Chelski been given that were not pens and vital free kicks United have been more sinned against then anyone Roonet should have had a pen last week against Sheff utd but not given hope you win nothing Mourhino
