Yea it was Sunderland, for some reason thought it was EvertonThink the game was against Sunderland wasn’t it? VAR would have ruled it out for offside if it happened today

Wtf!? Void the CL that year!Another fact:
Eric Cantona once accused a referee of being bribed after our 3-3 draw in a match with galatassary in the European cup (that led to our exit). He got sent off for making the accusation.
That referee went on to be banned...
For fixing champions League games

How did you even remember this ? I’ve seen worse not given tbf.The fact that this was not a red card, or even a yellow card. Not sure the linesman could get a better view if he tried.
There are definitely worse fouls than this one. But this stuck with me because it was so bloody blatant right under the nose of the linesman. Can't imagine what must have gone through the minds of the linesman or the referee to not send him off.How did you even remember this ? I’ve seen worse not given tbf.
1 UCL final goal >> 3 random goalsRonaldo has scored more times against United (3) than he did against Chelsea (1).
He was actually waving for a Chelsea free kick, which is what was given. You can see the ball being launched upfield at the end.I reckon the linesman was staring so intently at the ball, he didn't even see the foot. He was immediately waving his flag to say the ball had crossed the line.
Who? I know Poll was accused?A so called top referee (ex now) fixed a game of football in PL and bragged about it in the media. He never got a suspension, leave alone an outright ban from PL and FA.
And as a matter of fact is now happily in the media giving out his opinions on other referees and rules of the game.
and after he was sold club president Maurizio Zamparini called him an "out-of-control womaniser"Kyle Lafferty's strike partners once included Dybala and Belotti. He outscored both.
Clattenburg?Who? I know Poll was accused?
Didnt he say he let the spurs players just go when we stopped them winning the league. Putting chelsea players mainly hazard at risk. The knob.Clattenburg?
Get out of hereLingard and Fellaini both played more games for United than Dwight Yorke did
thought it was fairly well known Kluivert and RVN were born on the same day?Among the dutch national team players born 1/7/1976, Van Nistelrooy does not have the highest amount of national team goals.
not seen that before or have forgotten it. Truly ridiculous that he just walked away from that, I’m not sure there are many fouls that are that blatant!The fact that this was not a red card, or even a yellow card. Not sure the linesman could get a better view if he tried.
If only the ref thought this was worth a second yellow it would've been 1-1Premier League red cards
Juan Mata 1-0 Diego Costa
park the bus was said by him to describe Spurs though. it wasn’t said to describe his team. Though he obviously and ironically became known for park the bus footballJose Mourinho's 2011/12 Real Madrid are the highest scoring side in a single league campaign in the history of the top 5 leagues with 121 league goals.
His Real Madrid team also recorded over 100 league goals in each of his 3 seasons in Spain.
It's interesting when you consider how notorious his reputation is for being a negative, pragmatic coach with some people labelling his style anti-football. Also, the infamous "park the bus" phrase was coined because of him.
Yes he is a pragmatic coach, he knows his teams strength and weakness. He knew what his Madrid capable of.Jose Mourinho's 2011/12 Real Madrid are the highest scoring side in a single league campaign in the history of the top 5 leagues with 121 league goals.
His Real Madrid team also recorded over 100 league goals in each of his 3 seasons in Spain.

It just shows how funny football is. Some top strikers would balk at that haul over a six year period, but others would be delighted to have won everything in a country before moving on.Van Nistelrooy's total trophy haul at United is limited to:
- 1 PL title
- 1 FA Cup
- 1 League Cup
True. Truthfully, even by the historical standards at United, he is incredibly successful. It just seems otherwise because we had teams that won three league titles on the spin as well as a champions league almost immediately before and after his time here.It just shows how funny football is. Some top strikers would balk at that haul over a six year period, but others would be delighted to have won everything in a country before moving on.
It shows how lucky we are as United supporters that this was deemed to be an underwhelming trophy haul.
Might be the most shocking one here yet.Premier League red cards

You’re misremembering. Or I’ve misunderstood. He invented the phrase ‘Park the Bus’.Jose Mourinho's 2011/12 Real Madrid are the highest scoring side in a single league campaign in the history of the top 5 leagues with 121 league goals.
His Real Madrid team also recorded over 100 league goals in each of his 3 seasons in Spain.

Thought it was Sunderland... And the ball was not guilty..A goal scored with a beach ball was allowed to stand in an official Merseyside derby in the 2000's.
That beach ball belonged to a Liverpool fan and was eventually sold at auction for £411.
