Liverpool absolutely TRASHED Aston Villa this weekend, leaving Manchester United only one point in front (though with one game less played).
Liverpool's offensive play against Aston Villa was astonishing and for me convincing except the last 20 minutes or so, when the game was dull as hell.
And you have to feel sorry for Brad Friedel, wrongly recieving a red card for his "tackle" on Fernando Torres.
Yes, it was a penalty.
No, it was certainly not a red card.
I hope Blackburn protest so Friedel can play the next game. Guess who's the opponent? Manchester United.
Speaking of red cards and Manchester United, Paul Scholes AND Wayne Rooney both got shown off in their loss against Fulham. It was, in my opinion, a right decision by the ref to give Scholes the red card, but the second yellow to Rooney was rather doubtful. I'm sure Manchester United will protest and will have Rooney for the next game.
That's my view on the case. But it's now time for
THE WEEKLY "SIR" BULLSHIT FERGUSON'S OPINION!
According to the norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang, Ferguson claimed in a post match interview that both red cards was a mistake.
Ferguson said that the distance between Scholes and Zamora was too small for Scholes to react differently. With all due respect, "Sir" Ferguson, Scholes suddenly threw both his arms over his head realising that Zamora was going to head over him. And that's no natural place to have your arms unless you're trying to block a ball illegally or smash someone's face with your elbow!
Further on, according to the same newspaper, Ferguson apparently said "... but it's Phil Dowd, so what do you expect?".
If "Sir" Ferguson doesn't get somehow penalised for this quote, this would be outrageous! The FA would not be consequent and Ferguson will again get special treatment.
After all, the FA launched their "Respect"-campaign last season, trying to improve the respect to each other, with slogans like "Respect the ref".
If Ferguson doesn't get penalised, how ironic is that?
