I'm sure we've discussed it before - but is he the dirtiest player in the football today?

Constantly fouls, constantly elbows, constantly complains that he should be allowed to do it ...

He's an ideal Mourinho player.
 
He's a fabulous role model. 'You want to dominate in midfield? Just hold your elbows out like this and knock them into opponents' cheekbones, noses, mouths and eyes if they get too close'. And refs won't penalise you for that??? 'Nah. Well they let ME do it anyway...'
 
If you take hair growing steroids does your hair grow into that big bush thing?
If not where can they be purchased from

And then the diving cheats are better than the playacting cheats.
We need to rank this somewhat... how about the sneaky cheats like Alli, Costa and Huth - the guys who try sneaky assaults stamping on others while the refs are not looking?

So...

Fellaini - throws nasty elbows, high raking challenges
Costa - oh this motherfucker; dives, playacts, slings snot, does sneaky kicks and stamps
 
I'd like to be able to say he gets a free ride because he plays for ManUre, but the unfortunate fact is he mostly got away with it scot free for the blueslime as well.
 
What's the name of that Australian player, used play for Millwall I think. Tried to injure players all the time it seems. Something "Muscoe" or whatever.
 


There's no way this is the top 3 horrible tackles by him. Maybe in the Aussie league.

Kenny was nearly blinded by a manc elbowing him in the face and ended up with a really bad broken cheekbone. That creep Fashanu left Mabbutt with a semi-paralysed face. And to think some players and pundits get more exercised about spitting. I don't care if the players can kick a ball occasionally or hit a pass - they're not footballers if they resort, regularly and deliberately, to such thuggery. Carragher was right about Fellaini - he shouldn't be in the game.
 
He is so lanky and clumsy the refs give him the benefit of the doubt. Crouch is of similar stature but often free kicks were given against him for simply standing there looking like an uncoordinated giraffe. It blows my mind how little red cards Fellaini has received.
 
If refs can't see that his elbowing is premeditated they shouldn't be refs. They can see all right. They obviously think he'd be red carded every game if they reacted. And he should be. Look at the two Europa games against us last season - absolutely blatant red card offences, ignored.

I can confirm he hit the deck squealing at the ref - who waved play on.

Bahahahahaha

This is an argument that I was making during the whole Suarez affair that the usual suspects misinterpreted as me defending Suarez's innocence. I think it absolutely incredulous that the country and FA get up in arms about the relatively harmless act of biting yet almost endorse good old fashion thuggery even if it ends with a serious and career threatening injury. I always compare that Rooney elbow to the head of a Wigan player, it was 50 yards from the ball, and Rooney was running at pace, and elbowed him in the head whilst the guy wasn't watching, it was a scum bag sucker punch and could have seriously hurt the player, but nothing. Suarez on the other hand rather disgustingly takes a nibble at someone, caused next to no harm, and it's a national scandal and he's banned for 10 games. As you say, blatant acts of aggression / dangerous play need to be taken more seriously and need to result in bans, ideally 5+ match bans so they're actually taken seriously, but this country has a love affair with the no nonsense hard man, as a result I can't see it changing anytime soon, only way I can see it changing is if there is a high profile ending of a career, which is a tragedy.
 
Yes. It's a scandal that almost everyone in the game has become so used to Fellaini's deliberate assaults that they've become immunised to them. It's just 'what he does'. Forget Crouch - getting leverage with your arms isn't the same thing as standing next to someone, glancing at them and then ramming your elbow into their face. If he didn't intimidate opponents with the threat that, if they challenge him too closely, they'll get an elbow in the face, he'd never survive in a top team in a top league.

He only gets penalised for them on the extremely rare occasions that a ref is so close, or the incident is so blatant, that he feels pressured to react. The number of times refs 'didn't see it' must make even Wenger laugh.

And yes, the media will occasionally highlight certain acts, but then they ignore them again, rather than seriously addressing the fact that he's a serial offender.

Look at these images - there's nothing even vaguely ambiguous about them. He's just been allowed to incorporate a red card offence into his game as somehow 'natural':

And how often has this thug been sent off in his career? Just three. That's nothing short of scandalous.

Hahaha, you have completely made that up.

Were you there for the game he tore his hammy from chasing me, and missed the first month of the A-League season as a result? Cunt couldn't get near me. That's right.

That's a bit harsh on Muscat though mate - he was like 40 a year away from retirement, and you were in your prime.
 
The guy's a source of some embarrassment to me as Muscat's a Maltese name (it wouldn't altogether surprise me if we have some family connection somewhere).
