The only decent thing Rafael did v Liverpool was win the ball off Enrique for their goal.

He got skinned numerous times and Liverpool almost/should of scored when Hendo put that brilliant cross after he skinned Rafael.

a scouser in been delusional shocker :O He was our best player by far and was very very good.

In real time it may have appeared so but watching the game back you see plenty of flaws and mistakes in his game. The highlight being when Henderson comfortably beat him and was allowed to put a gorgeous cross in under no pressure what so ever from Rafael, only for Gerrard to fuck it up.

Valencia was pretty good though. Annoys me that Liverpool were never in for him.

Oh dear...Guess the racists don't just hang around Anfield.

Manchester United fan charged for shouting racist abuse at Stoke match

A Manchester United fan has been charged for shouting racist abuse at opposition players during a Premier League football match.

Howard Hobson, 57, is accused of a racially aggravated public order offence and using threatening words or behaviour to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

Hobson, of Weaver Walk, Openshaw, Manchester, was arrested at the Manchester United v Stoke City game on Tuesday.

During the match a spectator made a complaint to stewards that a fan in the north stand was shouting abusive comments towards Stoke City players. Police were informed and Hobson was arrested.

He is due to appear at Trafford magistrates court on Wednesday.

There were stats about number of racism incidents since 08-09. Liverpool featured once, Man U 4 or 5 and one of the smaller teams 7 or 8 times.

I find it curious that offender's ages are over 50.

not at all... They are old timers after all

Anything other than a draw would have been a travesty. Chelsea didn't deserve to be 1-0 up, let alone be leading 3-0. The Welbeck penalty is debatable but Young should have been awarded a penalty in the first half anyway. United could have had another penalty as well. Rooney transformed into Ronaldo for both penalties.

Valencia I thought was their best player today. Dude picked it up in the end.

Howard Webb & United, is there a more suspect looking combo than that going on at the moment?...How can the FA defend Webb's record with United?...Particularly with penalties...It's bizarre

[Ambrosia]

17% of all penalties Howard Webb has ever awarded have gone to Man U.

United have also been awarded the most penalties this season as well.

SAF should have subbed Rafael and brought Park or some other winger at half time... Attacking with Valencia and another winger on Bosingwa from that minute would have brought them into the game even earlier

It really is ridiculous. If this was happening with a Serie A club or Barca and Real, English football fans would be accusing the game of being bent in Italy and Spain.

I think Web and United alliance is pretty obvious. I mean his actions on the field are so predictable.

Man Utd = the Berliner FC Dynamo of English football.
