Well they will surely have lukaku suspended for Watford, arsenal and us so there's a really good chance that we can go 15 ahead if we beat them.

I can't see them getting any more than a point or two out of these two games coming up.

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/ ... bong-clash

Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku will face no further action for his clash with Brighton's Gaetan Bong on Saturday, Sky Sports News understands.

Lukaku appeared to kick out at Bong on two occasions just before Ashley Young's shot deflected off Lewis Dunk for what proved to be the winning goal in United's 1-0 win at Old Trafford.

The Belgium international was left sweating on possible retrospective action as the incident was missed by referee Neil Swarbrick and his team of assistants.

That meant it was referred to a three-man panel of former officials, which has to find a unanimous decision if a player is to be charged.

However, Sky Sports News understands that the panel could not agree that an offence was committed and Lukaku therefore avoids what could have been a three-game ban for violent conduct.

The December 10 derby clash with Manchester City was among the games Lukaku could have missed had he been sanctioned.

This panel should have their findings published with a script of how they came to their conclusion. This is as blatant as it gets. The only thing that saved him is the opposition player not making a meal of it.

I have a got a vibe about Watford.if the odds are decent, i might put a few quid on them for a win, but cash out as soon as they go 1-0 up :lol: :lol:.Huddersfield were 20-1 for the win yesterday.If you had put £100.00 on them,and cashed out as soon as they scored you were going to win a few quid.If you back first goal scorer in games the odds are pretty shit compared.You are better backing a win and cashing out,if you can :lol: :lol:

Exactly.

I'd love to see the cunt explain on camera how he watched that video evidence and saw nothing.

The only reason in this case is bias. Nobody is that incompetent.

i had a fiver on huddersfield yesterday for that exact reason
plan (after they scored) was to cash out a few mins into the 2nd half when I was getting between £15 and £20 (was £12.45 at h/t). 'sadly' we scored too soon...

Ridiculous how they came to that decision and wierd how Sky pulled the only bloke in the world who thought it wasn't worthy of a red. Found it strange that there was hardly any coverage from the major TV outlets such as Sky, BT or the Beeb but it does make sense that if they favour a certain club then they don't highlight it.

It was only through social media that forced their hand and it was no surprise that Gallagher towed the Sky party line.

How could anybody really believe that it wasn't a red is obviously batting for a certain side and f you looked at it realistically, if Lukaku had actually been good at kicking balls then Bong would no longer be the same person, he'd be able to wear a thong without the crown jewels slipping either side.

Once again, just proves the Rag agenda to me.

I like Shaka, seen him sticking up for us a few times, and very anti-Rag and some eyes as he says it as he sees it.
