Dressing room damage

The FA are investigating after the Manchester United Wembley dressing room was trashed on Saturday night.

Following the FA Cup semi-final, which saw Paul Scholes dismissed for a violent challenge and United players in a bust-up at the final whistle with Manchester City players, Wembley officials found a wall had been vandalised in the away locker room.

And United could now find themselves facing a bill to repair the damage which was discovered by Wembley staff and brought to the attention of the FA on Saturday night.

It has been confirmed the hole was discovered after United vacated the dressing-room on Saturday in the aftermath of their 1-0 loss to City, which was marred by a fracas at the final whistle, with Mario Balotelli and Rio Ferdinand being held apart.

Sources claimed the hole, in a wall of the open-plan away dressing-room, was discovered in the “manager’s area”, but there has been no suggestion as to who was responsible for the damage.

Wembley maintenance staff were required to repair it before Stoke used the dressing-room for their FA Cup semi-final against Bolton the following day.

The FA refused to comment on the incident - but it has emerged United and City will not face disciplinary action for the brawl that broke out shortly after the final whistle at Wembley.

The Manchester derby clash ended in vitriol after Scholes had been shown a straight red card for planting his studs into the right thigh of City defender Pablo Zabaleta.

Tempers flared at the final whistle when Balotelli enraged United’s players by goading their travelling fans by lifting his shirt towards them in a frenzied celebration.

That caused an ugly shoving match involving Balotelli and United duo Ferdinand and Anderson, as well as City boss Roberto Mancini and coach David Platt, who tried to act as peacemakers.

Although ref Mike Dean mentioned the episode in his official report, it is understood the FA, who studied TV evidence of the fracas from footage supplied by rights holders ITV, have decided against taking action against either club.

Last time it was throwing a boot at Beckham, this time there was no Beckham to block the shot.

They are slowly but surely losing the plot.

It was Balotelli

[dick dastardley]

[Avalon]

It would be funny if they'd lose every match from now on too and miss out on winning the EPL.

Traces of what seems to be Argentinian Steak were found at the scene of the crime, ginger hair was also identified.

FA Officials conducted an in depth investigation and believe that a rare Buenos Aires Copper-knob Bison may have run amok in the dressing room. The stench of Bull Shit in the room supported that theory.

Mr P. Scholes G.B.H. fresh from tenderising the thigh of Mr. P. Zabaletta H.E.R.O had no comment to make on the matter.

I think it was Ferdinand using Strudwick's face. Just look at his face.

That photo is even better than the one of him winking, he's as cool as ice with 4 players hanging out of him trying to provoke him and he's just got staring at the ref daring him to do something. He's saying, "you know, you can see what they're doing, you can see what I'm not doing".

[Avalon]

looks like Anderson is about to rip the emblem off. You're right though apart from the gauding wink (terrible and shocking behaviour :O), the Stretford Utd players are close to undressing him...

United players [strike]in a bust-up at the final whistle with Manchester City players[/strike] having a paddy and kicking off trying to gang up on a 20 year old for daring to celebrate an fa cup semi final win, pushing the city manager about and screaming at the city coach.

Whatever has been said to balotelli after the kiev sending off has worked a fucking treat. Glad we now have a footballer and not a headcase.

He keeps behaving himself and gets fully settled in the team and he will bang 30+ goals in next season.

[Chinners]

If I remember correctly didn't you want him castraighted amnd deported a couple of weeks back?

That's like saying Shrek has matured now! A good sign maybe but we all know he is still a headcase and it's likely we will get proof soon.
