Your reputation precedes you, Mr Ronaldo Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo thought he had won a
penalty during yesterday's Carling Cup final when Ledley King tripped him in the area. Referee
Chris Foy had other ideas and booked Ronaldo for diving. Replays show that King clearly caught the
Portuguese international and that a penalty should have been [.
The spot-kicks that settled the silverware The Carling Cup final went the whole way earlier today.
This is the penalty shootout that eventually settled the match after a goalless 120 minutes. Man
Utd emerged 4-1 winners at the end of the shootout. For now you can enjoy the action (particularly
look out for the contrast in Carling [.
After watching Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United side clinch yet another trophy, I couldn't
help but wonder how we can fix extra time. Anyone that saw Sunday's Carling Cup final was forced to
witness one of the most boring and slow half hours of football. Played at a walking pace, both
sides were exhausted and just waiting to bring the match to penalties.
1. The quintuple is still on for Manchester United then. It is a big ask, but then again they won
this one without some of their biggest stars. 2. Ben Foster was immense. Please let him stay fit in
the run-up to next year's World Cup. 3. So David Bentley can hit a skip from a roof, [...]
It seemed like a whirlwind footballing weekend. We got confirmation that Arsenal and Liverpool are
in a freefall, while Chelsea still has a long way to go if they have any hopes of closing the gap

Cristiano Ronaldo insists he should not have been booked for diving during Manchester United's
Carling Cup final win over Tottenham Hotspur. The United winger was cautioned by referee Chris Foy
in the second half of Sunday's game at Wembley following a challenge by Ledley King inside the box.
Foy cautioned the Portuguese ace for simulation, but Ronaldo [.
The title says it all. The English goalkeeper has been hailed by many as the future of English
football, and his performance in the Carling Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday is
exactly why. With the likes of Edwin van der Sar and Tommy Kuszczak getting the bulk of the playing
time, appearances for Foster are normally few and far between.
Goalkeeper Ben Foster will face no disciplinary action from the Football Association for
"iPodgate." Foster broke no Football Association rules by studying Tottenham penalties
before the shootout in the Carling Cup final yesterday on his iPod. Man of the Match Foster
admitted that before the shootout he looked at previous Spurs penalties on his iPod which showed
Jamie [.
For many football fans, it's a dream come true. The possibility of seeing your favorite team play
in a cup final at Wembley. But in the case of Man United fan Phil Spark, it turned into a nightmare
when he couldn't get a ticket to see his team play Spurs in the Carling Cup Final. [...]
Two points off 'The Zone' again and a proverbial six pointer against Middlesbrough on Wednesday.
How will Spurs react to the Carling Cup loss on Sunday? Last year we won it and switched off: this
year we lost it and if we repeat last year's run in we will be in the Championship.
Now everyone from Alan Hanson to my mum knows it can't happen but we all know actually that it
could.
