| Quote: mutt1 "The dissalowed goal was pretty much 50/50 there was an offside player but i'm not sure he was interfearing with play, after the Gallas off side yesterday it was a goal allday.
Tevez was offside no question
Tevez clipped the defenders ankle in the build up to his second that was a definate free kick.
I feel sorry for pool as they played Citeh off the park and but for a couple of dodgy referees decisions city should not have won'"
To say we were "played off the park" might be a slight overstatement. We scored three goals and hit the woodwork three times!  |

| Quote: Enfield Exile "Adebayor was dreadful and has been for a while. Along with De Jong being scared of making a tackle, we were effectively playing with 9 men for 60mins. Throw on a class player and we score 3 and hit the woodwork three times. Joe Hart made two saves, so all this talk of Blackpool playing us off the park is nonsense.
Football is about winning the battles in the two penalty boxes. Blackpool went from box-to-box very neatly, and disturbingly easy, but we were better defensively and we were more ruthless in attack. That’s all that matters. We were poor between the boxes but we won.
Ask yourself…were you happier when we battered Bolton (the time when we hit the woodwork 4 or 5 times, and Jaaskeleinen produced 4 great saves, but they scored with a pen in the 83rd minute) but lost 1-0, or would you have preferred to have had a slice of luck and won?
We were terrible for 60mins but you don’t always win points for being pretty.
As for the ‘foul’ on the centre-half? It was never a free-kick. If anything, the defender pushed Tevez before the alleged trip. Tevez’s goal was off-side but it was marginal. It was never ‘clearly’ offside.
I see there was no mention of a the blatant foul on Tevez leading up to one of their goals.
.Our two best players this season were signed buy Hughes.
Bridge and Lescott admittedly have been poor. But then neither has been fit for a sustained run of games. At the moment I would rather have Zabaleta at LB than Bridge, and Boyata at centre-half.
TBF I would rather have Bridge than Ferreira or O’Shea, and I would also rather have Lescott than Brown or Evans, I would also rather have Richards that Rafael or Neville.
We have the most talented set of players that we have had at the club for a long time, we are not in a financially perilous state, crowds are good, the club are doing much more for the supporters, ticket prices are relatively low and there is at least hope that we may actually win something for only the second time since I was born. TBH, Dave, you rarely say anything positive about the club. If we beat United 3-0, you would moan about the price of a cup of tea. ![]()
I'm positive about many of our players at the moment but Lescott, Bridge and Adebayor are very average players. Blackpool had more chances than anyone has had all season and anyone could see that Lescott and Bridge are a disaster waiting to happen and could have been punished on more than one occasion.
There's always room for constructive criticism.

£38 - £50 in the home sections seems a big increase from last season? Even the cheapest ticket at Old Trafford is £27.
£46-£48 in the away end as well. The £40 price last year according to DD was because of the increased allocation (meaning more police etc) for the league cup game. Will be interesting to see how he can blame Utd for this years prices? |

Hodgson should have three more games to save himself, max. I'm disgusted with what he's been coming out with over the past couple of weeks.

Single match tickets have increased but they remain less than a lot of clubs. However, the club do a number of special deals for groups of matches – e.g. 3 UEFA Cup matches for £50, and there is a Super 7 ticket that offers considerable discounts. Match tickets at City were cheaper than the vast majority than the amounts City fans were charged for away games last season. Arsenal surprisingly was only £33.
My ST is in Colin Bell 3rd tier. It costs me £522 for the season. That works out at around £27 per game. That is for one of the best seats in the house (but with the worst atmosphere) – two blocks away from the away fans. The nearest comparator at Spurs is around £1,600. Your equivalent would be 3rd tier of the North Stand. Plus we can decide whether or not we have to take part in an automated cup ticket scheme. STs on the bottom tier are around £450, I think.
The cheapest tickets are £275. To enter into this you had to be a current ST holder. If you entered your name went into a ‘draw’. Those who were successful couldn’t choose their seats, as it was a lottery. Great value regardless.
Our most expensive STs are something like £670. For that, you also get free parking and a programme. Assuming parking is £5 and the programme is £3 (cannot remember when I last bought a programme and I don’t travel to the ground by car), you are only paying around £27 per match. That’s a great deal IMO. That works out at around £14 per game. If memory serves, tickets for kids are £200.
Ideally, I would like to have a bigger ground and fans charged only £10 per game. However, the FIFA Fair Play Rules have put paid to any chance of that happening.
We should charge United fans more for the following reasons:
* Southerners can afford it
* We don't like United
* We had to reduce your allocation because you misbehave and thus we wanted to claw back some of that lost revenue
* We need extra policing, security and stewarding as United fans throw objects at players and bring things like darts into the ground

I think the time has come for Alex Ferguson to retire, how many times his he going to fall out with a player and end up shipping them out and replacing them with dross! Ince, Stam, Beckham, Van Nistlerooy, Tevez, and now it looks like Rooney is on his way next summer. His recent signings have been nothing short of disgraceful, players such as Obertan, Diouf, Kleberson, Anderson, Manucho, Berbatov and £8m on a player he never even saw play in Bebe, millions and millions squanderd. David Gill keeps saying they have money in the bank for big name players, instead Ferguson decides not to go for the likes of Tevez, Ozil, De'Maria, Silva, Villa, and instead concentrates on players like Smalling and Bebe. Sorry Alex, thanks for the memories, your time is up.

Last year's pricing was increased because of that reason. To a certain extent it is this season because we still have Category A, B & C matches, but those levels have all been whacked up considerably.
This year, panic would appear to have set in about UEFA's break even policy because some of the matchday prices are pretty shocking.
What gets me is that a lot of our fans have been moaning about paying £45 at Spurs and £40 at Blackpool etc, whilst we charged £48 to Liverpool fans back in August.
I've been the first to moan about the prices you have charged us in the past, but I can't complain this time around.
