Do you think we're too 'nice' ?

[DJS]

I cant help but wonder if we're too 'nice' to really challenge....

 

Chelsea are complete c**** as we all know, with their diving, harrassing refs and general all-round arsey-ness...

 

And United have been at it for years....obviously stalking referees, but also sly tactics like withdrawing players from internationals, with mysterious injuries which clear up for the next game....not to mention the diving antics of horseface and ronaldo....

 

We've never been like that....and nor would i want us to be - at least, not to such an extent.

 

But we never push the boundaries.....we've always been very 'in line' with football ethics and ettiquete (sp?).

 

Even to the extent today where, after Warnock had that incident with Toure, where Toure went in two footed and injured himself....we had the throw in, and fecking threw it back to them - even though the ball went out of play courtesy of the 50-50 challenge - they hadnt put it out or anything.

 

I was fuming at that, and it got me thinking - do we lack the 'nasty' streak you maybe need to win things? Are ruthless enough, in our thinking?

 

Or am i just reading something into nothing?

I think it was formally a problem but the likes of Xabi, kewell, sissoko and pongolle have street smarts

We've never been like that....

 

 

the funny thing is you probably believe that.

Ok, i should've said 'to my recollection', oh Mister patronising....

we should sign at least two nasty, cynical sh*t-kickers in the summer. a couple of argentine bottle covey types.
