err.....meanwhile, down in the Championship, Kevin Phillips (age 47) bangs in a hat trick as Palace....er.....maintain their.....promotion....push. (there! said it!)

He shoots,
He scores,
He fought in both world wars,
Super Kev, Super Kev.
 
Was Kagawa injured? Seemed strange to leave out both Rooney and Kagawa. (Heinsight) but why leave out Evans who has played so well all season and was superb in Madrid? Also, Madrid were unlucky to have a goal disallowed but by virtue of something not going United's way later on in the game it's been forgotten.
 
Taking Frankie Boyle seriously is akin to thinking Spinal Tap is a real documentary

Right, so you're saying it's okay to mock kids with Downs Syndrome because it's 'just a joke'.

Pathetic.

According to The Telegraph, “Mrs. Smith’s husband, Kieron, said he was stunned by Boyle’s jokes. “He frequently used words like ‘Mongoloid’. He did impressions of the way people with Down’s syndrome talk. One of his jokes was, ‘Why is it that everyone with Down’s syndrome has bowl haircuts and bad clothes?’ He came back three times to the idea that people with Down’s syndrome die early.“
Here is the BBC’s account of the event:
“Mrs. Smith said that during the whole segment her heart was racing and she wanted to cry but that most of the audience were laughing as far as she was aware.
She said Boyle noticed her talking to her husband and asked them what they were saying.
She wrote on her blog: “I told him that my five-year-old daughter has Down’s syndrome and that I was simply upset at some of his jokes.”
“He tried to laugh it off – ‘Ah, but it’s all true, isn’t it? Everything I have said is true, isn’t it?’ To which I replied, ‘No, it wasn’t’.“

What a comedic genius.
