ps they may not have the best grasp of the english­ language but they are the ones with the medals and last­ time i looked you dont need qualifications for those­ just to be on the winning team. so in the oh so queens­ english term from a team who are based in landen its­ time to go up the apple an pears so jog on. in real­ english not some stupid cockney terms means go to bed­ and f**k off.

adrenaline and alansavill yeah drogba dosent go down­ easier than kate moss on a rock star, john tery doesnt­ rugby tackle people and all of the chelsea playerw dont­ harrass the referee at every call. dream on the only­ reason they didnt on suday was because as soon as utd­ tackled he had the yellow card out before they could­ get there wake up, you slipped up last season, forgive­ the pun. we are the champions no time for losers cause­ we are the champions.. chelsea = soho rent boys

if this nigerian consortium takes over before the new­ year and they do go for the yak, i don't think any­ deal should be done without martins, owen and cash­ going the other way!
a blue through and through.

Well said Alansavill. You only have to listen to­ Ferdinand's, or Rooney's, poor grasp of the­ English language, when they are being interviewed, to­ realise that they aren't the brightest of sparks in­ the barrel. So naturally they are hampered, by their­ unability to converse adequately, and resort to using­ abuse when they attempt to talk to the ref. It's­ the only way they know to get their point across. ­ Empty vessels make the loudest sounds after all.

That's why england national team never win anything­ in europe cup or world cup, cause player like rooney,­ rio etc can do anything they want like kick other­ player etc, "so england players grow up!!!, you­ never win anything for your country.

"Home of­ football" hahahahahahaha, kiss my %^&^&$$

OK the PL refs should get it right more than not, and­ they do, but playback would help in a controversial­ situation like the non goal in the Reading game. Like I­ may have written before refs everywhere are getting­ abused verbally and physically especially in the local­ football leagues ( where players have no doubt picked­ up things from the TV )and no one wants to do it­ anymore unless you have really thick skin. I do agree­ also that those PL players in the top 5 or 6,­ especially internationals. believe refs should listen­ to them and that they are untouchable. All should­ remember it is a very short ( 10 year ) career and the­ next generation is waiting. This is certainly the case­ for Ferdinand and Lampard and quite a few others.­ Rooney is also not going to make 25 at the top the way­ he is going as he allows his temper to get in the way­ of his talent. He is also played out of position which­ does not help his frustration levels.

I see lots of comments here about Sir Alex and Rio­ Ferdinand,but that tackle at the end of the game...did­ any of you actually see it?? Just take a look again at­ it, take a look at who got tackled.. eyes starting to­ open now as to why rio was so angered?? The lack of­ respect starts with players cheating, i.e. Diving, as­ Mr Drogba did there. Im a United fan an will be the­ first to stick my hand up when it comes to Ronaldo and­ diving..so dont even think of goin there. The lack of­ Respect starts with the players in relation to other­ players, tryin to get others booked by diving. If these­ guys could be rooted out then there wouldnt be half the­ cards in the premiership or elsewhere.how do you do­ this i hear you say.Well the F.A. should review matches­ on a monday, if a player is found to have dived..slap­ him with a an imediate 3 match ban. another thing id­ like to point out.. anyone watched a rugby match­ lately?? How often do ya see a player get cheeky with a­ ref?? You dont..cause he'll be sin binned straight­ away. It should be made a rule that if a Ref has to­ talk to a player then only the captain and player being­ spoken to should be allowed within a 10 meter radius of­ the Ref, then alot of the @#$% we see week in week out­ would be stopped.

i like the suggestion re 'sin bin' only prob­ with that is players like rio would spend more time­ there than on the pitch every week till ferguson­ realises he's a liability an gets rid. Still,­ seriously think sin bin might have some real benefits­ to the game

I Think Big Tv Screens In The Corner Of The Stadiums To­ Show Replays Would Work No Going Wrong Desisions From­ Them!

Every week our referees and linesmen make split second­ decisions. No replays from every angle. No computor­ graphics and endless armchair discussion. Most times­ they get it right. When they make a mistake or when it­ goes against a 'top four club' player all hell­ breaks loose. When players react in this manner a­ rugby/ice hockey style sin bin may be the answer. How­ long would Sir Alex or any other manager allow half his­ players to be off the field of play for 10 minutes­ before he made them behave? If there is no respect then­ make the players responsible for there behaviour by­ making them repent in the sin bin. Five or ten minutes­ depending on offence saves alot of yellow cards and­ really disadvantages their team. 2nd offence in the­ game and there off.

Refs must be culpable. Living overseas I get all my­ football on the box and watch the German, Spanish and­ Italian football as well as the English Premiership­ highlights. I can't understand the poor quality and­ lack of consistency shown by English refs, if you­ refereed a game in Italy like this the fraud squad­ would be checking you out and you would have questions­ to answer, why aren’t referees responsible for their­ poor decisions that can cost clubs millions in lost­ revenue, something stinks. Overseas commentators are­ always bemused and replay over and over all the­ controversial refereeing decisions that happen weekly­ in the premiership and imply the ref is on the take.­ Why can’t a club, a player or a manager criticize bad­ refereeing and bad decisions? Why does the FA usually­ support bad refereeing blindly and not right obvious­ wrongs? Offend a ref and you get a booking, end a­ players career or sideline him for months and months­ and you get a booking where's the justice in­ that?
All refs should be above reproach and reveal­ their earnings and justify their assets.

So seven yellows and a slap on the wrist what a joke­ they are at the FA.

Goooooooooooood Afternoon madam, i am calling from your­ bank.

"You must remember that Ferdinand and­ Rooney are of low intellect and so disrespect is second­ nature if you cannot converse properly."

Who are­ you to judge their intellect it shows a lack of respect­ and if nothing else your own stupidity.

Hahahahaha, Ricardo, that's the funniest comment­ I've ever read on here.

i think Ferdinands outburst at the final whistle on­ sunday was bang out of order as he just jump to the­ conclusion that the ref was about to book him. As for­ the amount of yellow cards shown just goe to show how­ competative the match was. if you start using video­ evidence you will lose a important aspect of the game­ sometime your team gets lucky and sometime it goe­ against you this is football.

england is yet to 1, get a referee that deserves­ respect 2, find a club with players as rude and as­ f*cked as chelsea.

man u and chelsea are by far the worst when it comes to­ the lack of respect both to refs and other players
