    You're a rascist!

    Me on the other hand thinks that monkeys look like Alves.

    Like it or not, there are just some things that one should not say, especially a high-profile athlete. Calling someone a "monkey" is bound to get you in trouble. Howard Cosell (famous Monday Night Football announcer here in the States) called a guy (one of the Redskins, coincidentally) a "monkey," meant only in a complimentary way, and he got roasted for it.

    Both Fergie and Anclotti spoke about the Ref before the game.... BOTH praising the ref as a good one...

    and yet only Fergie is charged for talking about the ref before a game....

    *Does Not Compute*

    and in WORSE news.... i've realised the date of the CL final is the same day as a family wedding... and i may not be back by kick off *WEEPS*

    that's true. you are right, they gotta watch what they say when they're at that level of sports. just strictly from your personal point of view, do you think he looks like a monkey or not?

    This is what Fergie said "He's definitely the best referee in the country, there's no doubt about that. We are getting the best referee and we hope it's our turn for a little bit of luck."
    Quite suggestive wouldn't you say? I've no idea what Ancelotti said though.

    he said Webb was the best ref for the game...

    Fergie has been charged for talking about the ref specifically, not for any suggestive comments.... Ancelotti spoke about the ref as well.

    So why charge one and not the other?

    Same here, specially as MUFC could secure the title a few minutes before the game starts... a nice Double whammy

    He looks like someone who needs to go 80 minutes on a rugby field. Then again, they all do...

    Time to lose that gayass minge on his chin.

    Alves: An individual who has an over-inflated sense of self worth, compounded by a low level of intellegence, behaving ridiculously in front of colleagues with no sense of how moronic he appears.

    As if that is any different from actions of C.Ronaldo or Sergio Bosqette just to mention a few, why are they not called monkeys?
