Raya punches the ball, and Nevile wants a penalty because the forward got a touch on it first? Which is completely irrelevant.
****ing absurd.

He also wanted a penalty for Dec's elbow and thought their late overhead kick was onside initially.Quote:

Suddenly they had a massive advantage and this coinciding the PL and CL money meant that we could have ended up one of those one-club countries. They were able to spend ?30m on Ferdinand one year and Rooney the next - buying the best English players up because they were the only team to play for given their dominance and if it hadn't been for AW - who only had an ?11m Titi and ?12m Skiltord above the ?7m he paid for Overmars - then English football could have been destroyed for good.
But 30 years later, he still takes it personally that this {totally legal} financial dominance meant they only won 7 titles, not all 10.
That is pathetically twisted.
