Dont you just hate this shit! The FA true to their colours, fuck us over once again. Damn lucky Poo.
Barwick Announces Fixture Replays.
FA Chief Brian Barwick announced late this evening that the Premiership fixtures originally played on Sunday, October 22nd were played in violation of Football Association rules, and would be required to be replayed.
This decision affects the following Premiership encounters - Reading v. Arsenal, Blackburn Rovers v. Bolton, Tottenham Hotspur v. West Ham, Middlesbrough v. Newcastle United, and Manchester United v. Liverpool.
This startling and unprecedented action was taken after it was determined that Liverpool Football Club were forced to play Sunday's game with only two players of Premiership quality as they were embarrassed in front of a global TV audience by goals from Paul Scholes (on his 500th game for the club) and from Ruud van Nistelrooy striking replacement Rio Ferdinand.
BBC 5 Live pundit Alan Green explained the situation to BBC Sport. "Disgusting! Horrible! Revolting! The most shameful thing I have ever seen on a football pitch! Feed me! (unintelligible) John Barnes! Special wee."
With a quarter of the season played, and Liverpool now trailing pace-setters Manchester United by a massive 11 points, the FA has determined that Liverpool will be allowed to replay every game in which they perform below par until they can assure themselves a Champions League place. With 27 Premiership fixtures remaining, it is believed that Liverpool will need to play another 493 total replayed matches in order to string together 27 games of top four form.
Raphael Benitez is pleased with the decision. "I am thinking is justice for us. Me, I buy many shiet players, and sometimes pies, but they saying I so great. Genius, even though I am fluke. Craig Bellamy? he has horse teeth but we get over it, it doesnt matter. We try and keep him out of trouble. I plan for him a youth centre where he can talk with youth worker. I know he is not young but his mind is still developing, do you understand?' sorry for my english-Ive been here two year but still cant learn it, I lazy someytime.-and I feel he benefit from this treatment . We have best support ever. Some of them are even on, how you say, parole, asbo, but still manage to watch game." It is unknown if the move will be enough to cool the anger of Liverpool supporters, who threatened to burgle all the homes in manchester and take all the televisions,dvds and jewels and sell it at at their stall if their team was not crowned league champions for the first time in nearly 17 years.One liverpool supporter stormed 'I had enough like, I spent all me benefits money on a ticket and the only return I get is complete s*** from the team, no heart, no f***** spirit. I promis nike, me and my f*** boys we'll rob every lot of ya if we don't get our way like. 5times you c***'', Graham Sankey, spokesperson for Kop's Independent Liverpool Lovers Association, demands "Justice for the 5,000" travelling Liverpool supporters. "We didn't steal any car radios for a week before the game just to build up frustration for the encounter. If we have to do this again, we will. We demand action, and a knighthood for Stevie Gerrard".
Reaction from United circles has been mixed. Sir Alex Ferguson refused to comment to the BBC, but it is understood he told sky reporters that he is disapointed but not suprised by the way the FA have treated United "We are more disappointed than suprised. It is the nature of our club that we are targeted. You'd hope common sense would prevail and that people in the FA would see that even a reply would not help Liverpool's season. The best a team like Liverpool can hope for is a Intertoto cup place" Manchester United owner Malcolm Glazer supported the reply. "It will bring a new generation of customers to our franchise and build even greater brand identity. We know how hyped up the match is, here in the uk between Man UtdvLiverpool and we all know the 2nd round of this match is just going to be awesome", the American claimed.
United supporters and players were unanimously against replays. Gary Neville, self-proclaimed 'Biggest United Fan of Forever' stating that "we beated them before and if they cant accept it, we are going to have to go and do it again. Hopefully it will be 2-0 again so they cant complain it was a fluke even though they didnt even have any more than 40% possesion in the first flipping game,pardon my langauge. All the lads were not happy when we first heard the news, but now we are rallyed on to beat themn again for even more bragging rights. If we could play Liverpool every week I'd be happy". United teamate Nemanja Vidic would only give our reporter a fierce stare, but the monster behind this verbalisation was not to be mistaken.
It is not only United supporters and players who are surprised and shocked by this move from an independent panel of the FA, chaired by Phil Thompson. During Sunday's game Jailmate Pennant claimed is alleged to have said "it was his ankle prison braclet that made him miskick the ball after attempting to do Ronaldo like step overs. While merseyside police hve given him permission to remove the ankle brace for the scheduled reply.
The affected fixtures are scheduled to be replayed on the 29th of February 2007. Fans with tickets for league matches played by Liverpool are encouraged to contact the Liverpool FC ticket office and return them, as it is going to be another horrible season.
