Quote ="Lord God Jose Mourinho"We're discussing issues surrounding the match. This is part of what the thread is for.
I have taken the defeat on the chin. The biggest issue for me from the game was the lame performance we put in when we needed it - again. But that's a CFC issue and no one here will care about that.
But the issue of Man United emulating Barca with their cycnical cheating is a wider issue, and there's obviously a bunch of United fans on here to debate with over this.
Now, my personal opinion is that gamesmanship is a part of the game and no less cheating that kicking a player into the air. But English football fans haven't agreed with that. They see diving and feigning injury as something disgusting and to be driven from the game. Well, that was when Drogba and Ronaldo were the ones doing it. But when it's from Rooney and Giggs it's somehow ignored.'"
Speaking of kicking players into the air how did Drogba stay on the pitch after the two footed lunge on Carrick? I rememeber Ronaldo getting sent off for something similar against Citeh even though no contact was made.
