At this stage Mosley is a shadow of what he was. A sure fire 1st ballot HOF entrant, but his time is long since up. Mayweather demolished him, Pacquiao will do something similar. In the Margarito fight you could see his shock at the ref not stopping it, I don't think Sugar's corner would let him take the kind of beating Margarito did.

Yea but you being minders butt buddy wouldn't

Everyone having a good time with banter back and forth and you come out without something pathetically immature like that. I wish I could say it was a surprise.

3 wishes would be wasted on you

Other than the fact that makes no sense, congratulations on the fact that you lasted two months or so this time.

This thread the last few days has been WUM centre & Ross4life reeled Minder in with ultimate ease.

Exactly, but catching Minder is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.

You really are a master of psychology.

Sons Of Anarchy......well worth a download. 1st two seasons are quality, 3rd isn't all that great...orish accents are terrible, as well as so many other things relating to Ireland. Looking forward to the 4th season though!

Sons of Anarchy is absolute bollox! Incredibly watchable, but bollox!

Still haven't bothered watching the third season - when I heard the club had a "Belfast Chapter" I was tempted to give up.

Its cringe city gallsman....everything about the episodes set in Belfast are a joke. You just have to laugh. Hope season 4 gets back to the basics....mexicans and neo nazis knocking seven shades of sh1te out of each other for some hole in the desert in California!

Finally getting around to watching third series, no idea why I'm bothering.

Christ the accents are worse than I imagined! For some reason there appears to me an Afrikaaner PSNI officers. Attacking cops armed with M16s. Absolutely ridiculous.

[at least it's shows fergie's main priority]

Subs: Kuszczak, Evra, Vidic, Giggs, Fletcher, Hernandez, Owen.

League cup team for a CL league semi final...Crazy  at least it's shows fergie's main priority & of this team.. i can only see VDS,Valencia starting on Sunday.

Tonight will be VDS last ever CL game in OT & hopefully fletcher gets some game time in the 2nd half.

Nonsense, as usual. Do you think he would have put that team out with the tie evenly poised? He is taking a chance the tie is almost safe. You might get some clown convinced that they don't give a shit about winning the Champi

Your the biggest circus clown here & i don't seem to be convincing you 

That reflects a lot worse on you than it does on him ross! 

And don't get me started about gentlemanly Rugby - a game where the victors are the best cheats, the referees don't understand the rules and there appears to be a secondary competition to be the most gracious losers. 

There are no rules in rugby just laws. Don't mistaken gamesmanship for cheating, I have no time for any sporting comparison in this context but if one compared  the antics in the UCL semi-finals to the HEC semis there is really only one winner. Amazing, been a gracious loser is now something to be mocked 

It was probably the most depressing pair of games I remember, and my 'beloved' José played his part in doing so. He has done his image damage through this I'd suggest. He'd have a bit of a point re UEFA, Barca and questionable decisions, but it's all lost among the antics!

Mourinho hasn't done his image "damage", he's destroyed it altogether. Bringing Unicef into it??

Some good old fashion wummery going on in here alright..it's been a long hard season & i'm loving every last bit of it! who's the linesmen for Sunday? afterall it was a lineman that decided the title last year & indeed last Saturdays game 

You're fucked, it's Sian Massey.

As for the disallowed goal - I thought it should have stood on first viewing. Then I considered the fact that I don't actually know the rules.

As I see it:

a) Ronaldo was fouled (and made the most of it) and the referee played the advantage.

b) That foul that created the advantage caused Ronaldo to knock into Mascherano (who clearly made the most of it) removing Barca's only chance of attempting a shot on goal.

Now, does anyone actually know the rule? An accidental foul is still a foul. The advantage rule isn't like rugby where the first team sinned against gets the ball.

Barcelona are categorically the only team in the world who have divers.

They are also the only team in the world who hound referees.

They put up with that sort of thing in the Premiership. It's for real men.

No one is saying that. The point is they shouldn't have to dive as they are one of, if not the greatest team ever. For example Busquets will be remembered by most for his diving and play acting, when he should be remembered for his ability on the pitch.

The point is that particular posters on here who have allegiances to a particular Premier League club would have you believe their team is full of good, honest, hard working English lads who would never dream of such antics.

For any Spanish speakers (readers) - Marca being objective???

Essentailly says Barca were too good, they were no conspiracies, nothing to do with refs, UEFA or children's charities.

Digs thrown very obviously at Mourinho - saying his players "died on their feet" while he sat in his hotel.

The Copa del Rey might not save him.

What is Adebayor's role in this Madrid team other than to run about and kick as many people as he can?

"Disabled due to copyright claim" is killing me and it's not on terrestrial German TV - anyone got any good links?

Great news about Abidal.

Anyone else watched the videos of Busquets allegedly calling Marcelo "mono, mono". While Busquets is a despicable f**k and I certainly wouldn't put it past him, in the video circulated, the words coming out of his mouth clearly aren't "mono, mono".

Mono is also the adjective for Cute/good looking maybe Busquets swings that way 

The whole thing is strange:

Guardiola not outright denying it.

Marcelo not reacting in any outraged manner.

Real not reporting it initially.

Real actually reporting it at all given the torrents of racial abuse raining down on Dani Alves. Again.

Real releasing a video of proof when, in reality, Busquets could be saying any number of things. "Puta" could just as easily have come out of his mouth.
