Two reasons I love what Craig Bellamy did

Sunday's Manchester Derby was thrilling.

United capitalized on the unorganized, poor defending Arsenal fans are used to seeing thanks to Kolo Toure to score three goals. The first came on a quick throw-in while the City back line tried to organzie their marks in the second minute of the game. The next two came on set pieces and two connections from Ryan Giggs to Darren Fletcher. Fletcher did well to score, but the marking on both his goals was atrocious, it has to be said.

City capitalized on lazy defending by Rio Ferdinand and another bone-headed mistake by Ben Foster, who inexplicably lost the ball to Carlos Tevez outside the box and Tevez passed to Gareth Barry, who provided a good calm finish. The next two goals were two delightful equalizers by Craig Bellamy, who started the game on the left wing. For me was was the best player on the pitch during City's 4-2 win against Arsenal last weekend, and we was the best player again at Old Trafford on Sunday. Bellamy's first came because John O'Shea and Rio Ferdinand gave him far too much time and space, Bellamy took it, and fired a screamer into the far corner of the net. The second came after yet another error by Ferdinand, who passed the ball to a City player and Bellamy beat the England defender for pace before sliding the ball past Foster, who was in no man's land and probably should not have left his line as Ferdinand had done well to narrow Bellamy's angle.

But inevitable referee controversy at Old Trafford gave United another questionable home victory at the death. The referee had signaled 4 minutes of added time moments before Bellamy's equalizer. Michael Carrick subbed on as well during added time, which somehow is an automatic 30-second addition to stoppage time, even if the substitution itself only takes 15 seconds. When United got a free kick 5 minutes into stoppage time, Mark Hughes, who is a massive cunt, complained to the side official that the game had already lasted a whole minute too lond, and that it should be over. The referees ignored him, and the free kick was taken, and cleared back to the half line by City's defense. The referee still did not blow his whistle, and Giggs played a wonderful ball in to Michael Owen, who nicked the winner 5 and a half minutes into stoppage time, a whole minute and a half after the game was supposed to be over. There certainly is case both for and against extending the game this long, as there was a goal and a substitution to account for, but as they always do at Old Trafford, Man United got the benefit of a twelfth man with the whistle, and they took another three points as a result.

After the game, a United supporter ran on to the pitch and was restrained by security guards. Bellamy, undoubtedly pissed off because they had lost the game so late after the effort he had put in individually, confronted the supporter. Here's the video:

The supporter clearly spits at Bellamy and in return pushes him in the face. He clearly does not intend to hurt the fan, and doesn't have a swing at him, as the real time video shows. United supporters are outraged, and because they are Man United supporters, they claim Bellamy punched the idiot fan. Here's the picture Republik of Mancunia posted under the title "Bellamy Punches United Fan"

I love that Bellamy "punched" the fan for two reasons.

1. He will surely be suspended by the FA and join Ade-ban-or on the sidelines. Bellamy is a bigger loss as well in my mind, as he has clearly been the Citizens' best attacking player in the last two matches. Without their little Welsh cunt and their Massive Togolese cunt in the lineup, City will undoubtedly struggle to score goals.

2. He hit a Man United fan. Let's face it, Man United supporters are cunts. They are scum without any class whatsoever they could always use a slap in the face...from Craig Bellamy, their mothers, anyone. We're talking about fans who booed Tevez with every touch of the ball on Sunday. Tevez! The same player who last year was their cult hero, the same player who begged Ferguson to let him stay because he loved the club so much. The same player who turned down moves to Chelsea and to Liverpool so he would not hurt United's chances at another title. He was repaid with a chorus of boos everytime he touched the ball. Going in for half time, walking into the tunnel, a United supporter threw a coin at Tevez and missed because he is a cunt, and instead hit Javier Garrido. When we visited Old Trafford at the beginning of the month the Old Trafford echoed in their favorite Arsenal song calling Wenger a pedophile. Whenever they play Liverpool, they have no problem singing about the tragic deaths of the Heysel Stadium disaster of 1985 (Although they aren't alone in their cuntiness there, as Liverpool fans sing songs about the Munich plane crashes in return). Bottom Line: they are cunts. The worst fans in the league. And they deserve everything and anything they get. Thank you Craig Bellamy for giving it to them, next time you should break out the trusty golf clubs like you did to Riise...
