The forum code for the emotion is w00t inbetween two colons, i.e : w00t : with no spaces
w00t is a gaming term that means a variety of things but usually along the lines of expressing excitement / gratification, which obviously wasn't your intention!

Thanks Man U, you did us Newcastle fans a favour. But I'm afraid there was some great diving to earn those soft penaltys!

First penalty nailed on.
Second penalty 50:50 - certainly more so than City's yesterday.
Penalty that should have been in first half.
Free Kick and Red Card that should have been in first half when Welbeck was brought down outside box and would have had a shooting opportunity if not felled.
I think the ref had a bit of a mare but perhaps the second penalty balanced up some of the first half shockers.

Rubbish!
It's spelt penalties.:wink:
Re: Tonight's football thread
Saw part of the game on internet streaming, thought welbeck penalty shout was rubbish, he fell over the player more than the player brought him down. Thought it was good call by the ref.

I'm a Burnley fan Danbert. As we've only had 1 season in the Prem I tend to follow the teams that are pleasing on the eye, although I do admire efficiency.
My first team I really appreciated was the Everton team of the 80s under Kendal. The next team was the Liverpool team with Barnes, Rush etc. But I also liked the George Graham Arsenal team and that 2-0 win by them at Anfield in 89 was perhaps the best performance I've ever sat and watched.
I never really got Ferguson at first and I was never a Man Utd fan, but when he brought these youngsters through, Giggs, Sharp, Beckham, Scholes, Neville Bros, and showed that useless Jock Hansen what for, I thought he did a remarkable job and actually put a team together that was fantastic to watch.
So I have a great admiration for what he has done and the sides he has produced.
I used to feel similar about Wenger. The invincibles was a great team. But he's lost his way since then and seems to have somewhat lost the plot.
So I suppose to answer your question, Man U are currently the side in the Prem that I look forward to watching before anyone else. They are box office and todays match underlines that.
