@Mwenza....I don't really follow any football news through tribalfootball but then again if it did happen thats kawaida in almost all football clubs there are fans who loyal to the club and na kuna wale who support the team only when you win a match.




You will be surprised to note that I also rarely visit manutd.com. Am sure if you stopped reading most soccer news on arsenal.com, you will see the other side of the coin.

The reason I rarely visit manutd.com is basically because they always tell me what I want to hear. They never mention any weaknesses pertaining to Man U or the management.

BTW, you can't compare tabloids in England with the Kenyan ones. Ever thought that "news of the world" is a tabloid? A tabloid it may be, but its always accurate in its news.

Rooney's 2 game ban by the FA upheld. Rooney becomes the first player ever to be banned by the FA for swearing at the cameras are many others have done it before. To make matters worse, Rooney apologized only hours after swearing while the others never bothered to apologize. This is pure persecution. Whether it's for being one of the greatest players, being a Man U player, influence from the media etc. is anyone's guess.

After the England - Algeria 0 - 0 draw in South Africa, Rooney swore at the English fans who were booing them. He specifically said "Nice to hear your own fans booing you, That's what you call loyal support. For f***'s sake.". Did the FA ban him (withdraw him from the final group game against Slovenia)? NO! Did they give him a warning? Hell NO! Did they publicly reprimand him? You guessed right, NO!!! As a matter of fact, they just let the matter slide. Why? For selfish reasons. They were just thinking of England's progression in the tournament. Now the same bunch of fellows turn around and ban him for two games for swearing at no one in particular. Highest level of hypocrisy!!!

We will miss him at Wembley. Saturday we'll do just fine. On a brighter side, this can't be good news for Chelsea. He'll definitely be fresh enough to score one or two goals against them in the return match at OT. Mark my words. The anger will also help - if he can control and redirect it.

FA trying to throw spanners into our title hopes...............This FA nonsense is coming just as the lad was hitting top form and when the EPL trophy had just started its journey home(to OT).

In other but related news...........

There is a rumour that the busy FA disciplinary department might charge Liverpool with bringing the game into disrepute . . . for nicking £50million off Chelsea.

@Mwenza....I have no issue with other football websites apart from that one.

@Maichblack...I think the FA were just getting back to Rooney after he escaped an obvious ban in the Wigan match (elbow).

This will not affect the EPL title race. It is the FA semi final I am concerned about. The game against Man City calls for a Rooney - Chicharito partnership as opposed to Berbatov - Chicharito partnership. Rooney's persistence and energy coupled with Chicha's speed and predatory instincts is just what you need in such a game.

Let's hope Berba will surprise me on the day though. But I guess this development confines him to the bench - again - in the CL second leg match against Chelsea.

This is what I have a problem with. The FA should not be about "getting back" at a certain player. How can a credible organization do that? Consistency is very important. You can't turn a blind eye when it suits you and punish when you feel like.

@MaichBlack...........You can't use the word "credible" and soccer running bodies in the same sentence. These guys are simply crooks. Since they realised that Rooney will not elbow somebody else this season, his recent outbursts were a god-send for them.

They always source their news from mainstream press. Plus if you concentrate on official club websites, you will never know, for instance, that Jack Wilshere, at 19, is soon to become a father with an ex-girlfriend.

Somebody sarcastically said that if you were to put a camera and a microphone on the 11 chelsea players when they were appealing for that "penalty" last night................Then,trust me, all of them would have suffered a two game ban by UEFA.

Amen to that!

I miss the treble. It's been a long time since we lifted it. The time is ripe for another one. And beating Barcelona in the CL final would just be... no words! We need to get our revenge at the highest level. And that can only be the CL final!

True story.

I have seen players - severally - swearing at the referee while walking away after a decision they feel was not justified. You can tell from the mouth movement exactly what they have said! Now, which one is worse?

This is the price of greatness. If it was a 'normal' player from a mid-table club - okay, almost any other club - who did exactly what Rooney did, it wouldn't even have made the news. As for Rooney "pundits" started discussing (immediately after the game) how Rooney might "get away with it" because he is Rooney; because he is a Man Utd player bla bla bla. The FA was already under pressure "to act" even before they saw the footage!

My fellow fan ningependa kukukosoa, unless I have misinterpreted.

The ban covers the Fulham game at home this Sato and the SEMI against Man City

Rooney missing the Semi is painful, I hope Berba and Chicha come through...the Fulham game is at home but Fulham look resurgent - I hope there are no spanners thrown there.

And on that note the FA can go to hell!

Well unfortunately its only players who vote and you can't even vote for your own teammate. I know he has also played well for Man Utd throughout the season but the fact that he hasn't won any "player of the month award" illustrates what his football peers think of his performance.


This was what daily telegraph had before FA named its six finalists.

Yes i did because the award was calculated by combining the results of the previous 10 years (not what you won in one season) of the International Football Federation of History & Statistics manager-of-the-year. Hakuna mambo ya votes hapa.Shame on you Shame on you Shame on you

The winner will be announced on 17th April.
