Well, Macheda being off the bench is a great thing. He had no touch whatsoever when he came on. Maybe he came on at difficult times and with relatively shambolic service but it didn't seem like he had anything to offer. Putting Diouf on the bench is taking the piss, at this point. I'd prefer to see what Will Keane can bring, if we get down to that.

Chris Coleman in the Wales job. Glad he's there.

Glad too that the knobhead who came out in the days after with "Gary would have wanted me in the job" didn't get it.

Oh, and don't read the Mail's Rooney story. He says that the dressing room is a rough spot, arguments happen all the time, and that while he doesn't agree with the fine and being dropped, he accepts it. That's it.
 
No more so than when he plays alongside the corpse of Phil Neville. If he's a warm body that keep Neville out of central midfield, bring him in.

Pleasure doing business.

It's got to the stage where people are trying to decipher the tweets of Ravel's numpty entourage.

I've come around on it. Until the club are clearly on the record about him going, it's gibberish from the same bucket as the Lampard transfer, the big money Modric bid etc.

The odds of us shredding Bolton, if we manage to play a bit, don't seem so terrible, looking at their stats.
 
Dunno if you guys have seen this but it's pretty funny.

Number 3 on top news is HUGE NEWS!

Sorry for crap resolution, found on another site.
 
Cheers for recommending Kitbag, Messi. I'm in the process of being dicked around on an old order by a fairly dodgy site (uksoccershop: avoid - customer service is non-existent. On border of being a scam), but Kitbag have been exceptional.
 
Yeah Kitbag are pretty good. City got them in to run their online store and the two shops, one at the stadium and one on Market St, Manchester.
 
Sounds like Ravel Morrison has shit his pot at United.

By the sounds of it he's had chance after chance at United and been allowed plenty of support in his career so far. If you can't be fucking araed to sort your life out for Manchester United and can't be straightened out by Sir Alex, what hope has he got elsewhere?

I read a piece in the Telegraph that suggested he needs to leave the "distractions" of Manchester. Best hope he doesn't turn up at Newcastle then..

The kid sounds like a grade A bell end. Sit back and watch as a young man wastes his career *sigh*
 
Aston Villa fans, it is official - Keane is yours until the 25th of February.

Fady was accurate with his team prediction this morning!

Mcfc have tweeted that Silvas injury is not that serious. And Mancini has just said on BBC Tv that Silva will hopefully be good for Monday.

Also Balotelli reportedly pulled into the petrol station, filled his car up and paid for all the other people's petrol too. He's a legend.

I was huh? Kompany, Silva, and the Toures were REALLY missed though...the game was a bit dull to be honest, City were not horrible, especially in the second half, but they lacked a good final touch. I don't expect them to pull through at Anfield, but it would be most interesting if they did!

Liverpool were shithouse against City a few weeks ago and now they're going all guns blazing at them.

Why couldn't they play this well the last time?

Seems to a football problem in general. In Chelsea's last few games, they played their best performances against their toughest opponents (City and Tottenham) and went to hell against opponents who are nowhere near the top (Wigan, Fulham, and Aston Villa). Same with Barca, they played so beautifully against Madrid, and then they played so horridly against an 8th-ranked team.

Thanks for wasting my time tonight Liverpool and City. BOOORRRRIIINNNGGGG.

Fake Edit

I don't see Spurs winning the league - I'd like for them to prove me wrong though - but I see them burning out before the end of the season.

Dull game indeed. I stayed up for it, and now I'm dead tired : [

no red card either, come on guys.

I agree with you, both would have been harsh reds.

Nasri's a cunt. At least people are telling him to his face rather than behind his back.

They didn't say anything bad anyway. "Fucking Arsenal reject" was the worst it got.

Personally, I think that's a horrible thing to say, to any player, in any team. Also, why exactly is he a cunt? Is it because of turning his back on Arsenal and going for a better offer or?

BTW congrats on being joint with United. What an achievement. Two horse race is now a three horse race.

That's probably the least cringe-worthy article on that list.

"Pictures of Suarez with black people" :lol
 
Cahill may not join Chelsea after all, he's feeling "unsettled" and is in contention to play against United this weekend.

Barca's Maxwell off to PSG it seems. Thanks for all your contributions Max :]

After seeing that Notlob have conceded, what, 48 goals this season, Cahill being there or not being there doesn't bother me too much.

Watch him play a blinder, though.
 
The kids are alright! But adults barred from Dutch Cup replay after keeper attack

Only children will be allowed to attend the Dutch Cup replay between Ajax and AZ Alkmaar, after the original game was abandoned following a red card for AZ goalkeeper Esteban for kicking a pitch invader.
...
Ajax asked KNVB to permit women and children to attend, but the ruling body insisted on following the national law regarding equal treatment of men and women, therefore only granting children entry.
One adult will be allowed in to look after every six children, to watch the game on January 19.

I do wonder how he would perform with better players around him though. Should be a solid 3 points in the bag for you though. Premier League is full of surprises, but Bolton have been consistently subpar.
 
Help, Football GAF!

I find myself impaled upon the horns of a dilemma.

In three days, I'm gonna have to choose between cheering for AC Milan (joint top with us) or Inter.

FORZA AC MILAN

Insanity. Cheering for Intermerda because they are less likely to mount a serious threat for the scudetto.
 
tumblr. A great reservoir of decontextualised low quality gifs.

lol at stony Torres.

I need to vist tumblr more often! A funny thing I noticed about Torres - when he has that face on him, he doesn't play well. When he doesn't have that emo look, he plays MUCH better. True story.
 
Greg Stobart saying Levy met with Ganso's representatives in London and was offered the player for £15 million. According to him Levy wants the player as part of our long term strategy, and he's someone that's highly recommended by Ian Broomfield (chief scout). Similar situation to what happened with Sandro by the sound of it.
 
£15m?! I thought he was going to be nearer £30m. You'll do well if you get him, he's got an eye for a pass and can control a match.

P.S. sell us Modric.

Milan's penalty record is downright silly. I'd put a fiver down on Juventus winning by at least two. They're at home against Cagliari, for one, and I wouldn't be surprised if they also get a clean sheet.
