DA if Spurs were in this situation I'm sure you would want them to do the same. The decision was incorrect so they might as well try and appeal it even if it does get rejected.

How about Palacious getting sent off against Blackburn which was totally outrageous and ludicrous? Not a chance of him getting off because it was 2 stupid yellows. Or Keano getting sent off last year in one of the most ridiculous decisions I've ever seen, but nothing on appeal.

Utd know the rules. You aren't allowed to appeal a red in UEFA. But they have. And they'll probably be let off becuase they are Utd and they know they can push the envelope.

It's disgusting.

I have a sneaking feeling that DA actually loves Man U.

He wont even eat in Chinese restaurants in case the owner says "You rike see Manu"

no we all love man united they are a great footy club with great supporters that dont give threats to mates of mine. yep they are fantastic. I would actually love them to get the appeal for fletcher so as when /if they are beaten in the final they dont have an excuse on they didnt have a full strength side.

Watching the news this morning, British Airways have increased flight prices to rome to £900. Even EasyJet are jumping on the rip off bandwaggon increasing thier fares from around £80 to £700 pounds.

The excuse from EJ, well we are losing shed loads of money with this recession so we see an opportunity and we take it.

Man U are offering a members package at £580 but stupidly it doesn't include a match ticket which range from the cheapest at $63 to the most expensive (stand seats that is) at £181 each.

£181, that's around $360.00 for a ticket. I will remeind those who complain about paying $9 for an SANFL game what prices are like for soccer.

Even the Roman hotels are hicking the price as eveyone tries to pick the carcass, of what is the away fan, clean.

Well DA, United didn't win the appeal so you can be happy again.

Also you failed to mention Barca appealing the Abidal red (poor decision) and the Alves yellow (clear yellow).

I'm only happy as rules are rules and the ban should stand. Yes it sucks for Fletcher because it was a crap decision (IMO - should have been a pen, but only a yellow) but unless they bring in video replays, this will continue. The blatant cheating of the likes a couple of weeks back will continue.

On the Barca boys, yep, I failed to mention it. Simply because Barca took the piss out of United by doing the whole "you're trying it on, so will we" routine like an immature schoolboy.

COME ON BARCA!

[johntheclaret]

I know you won't understand this DA but I will definitely be cheering on the reds

Come on united. Stick it up that French knob platini's jacksey

[Bully]

well as you all are aware i cant stand man united but the reason i am wanting barca to win is because i want theirry henry to be on the winning side.

While I won't be laughing, it would be funny if Henry did play and Barca won. When Barca beat United a few years back, straight after the game he said he would never, ever play for Barca because they don't play pure football... and now look.

Iniesta looks like he will miss the final, and Henry is no certainty either.

Nah, I understand mate. Almost all of my Enlish mates are hoping for a Man U win to prove the dominance of the English game. (Except those, like me, that are still biter about a couple of weeks back).

think the money side of it showed him the light. was one of the darkest days when he left for barca. rememeber him saying that aswell that he would never but yeah he did.

[RoosterMarty]

Oops I meant to say when Barca beat Arsenal in the CL Final.

Now it could be all games and Iniesta and Henry could play... I also got leave approved for that week so I won't have to rock up to work completely knackered like I did last year.

Are you going to the game Marty ?

[RoosterMarty]

I wish I was... but no I will be watching it in Adelaide. Either at home or the Rosemont depending on how motivated I am at 4am-ish.

[Bully]

yeah rosemont is good at that time of the morning. normally all of the drunks have either been run over or made their way home by then.

Is that Barrie Robran's place? I bet he has the play off finals on too.

[BALLHOG]

So what are people predicting in the big match tomorrow morning,fingers crossed Man U go back to back. Should be a belta of a match. Man U 2-1.

[JK]

I like Man U at $1.85 Draw No Bet
