I know you're just defending your man, but it was a goal and should have stood and this is an awful excuse. Since when does a goalkeeper ever refuse to dive in a direction or go for a save when someone's in their way? If someone's there, they barge through and if they're impeded a foul is called on the attacking player.

Pardew did what most managers would if a perfectly legitimate goal had been ruled out. He was pissed and wrongly took it out on Pellegrini.
Its a shambles really and it was only disallowed bcause of Hart's begging. If that goal had flown in at the other end for City it would have stood as the ref wouldn't have had the balls to disallow it.

Is Berardi co-owned or is it just a loan?
Don't care about Pardew, Pellegrini or Newcastle. Pardew should he suspended for a few games for that though. Totally unacceptable.
City getting too many decisions lately. Bloody ridiculous. They have the best squad, them winning their games is expected, but it should be at least done with fair decisions.

"Well after the fact, Harty (aka the Hartster, Harty-lad, English Harty) described the situation from a briskly self-serving perspective. And who are we to doubt him ? You calling England's number 1 a liar ?" etc
Both. We own his 'playing rights' and we sent him on a season-long loan deal to Sassuolo.
So he's coming back to us next season.

Don't do this Jack
CR7 invited his whole family to come with him :/
I know its already a done deal but I want to believe. It would be so good if a Bayern player wins this
That's a human-managed player as opposed to AI. People tend to emphasize attacking stats over mental stats.

Do Cavani&Ibra play well as a unit, or do they play more individually? Could we see the return of the old-fashioned strike partnership?

You think Juve will keep hold of him next season or loan him out again? Was thinking he would be perfect for a season with Parma^^
Really happy for Berardi in that Milan performance. He's got a massive future ahead. I kind of hope Conte works his tactics around him: play him behind the strikers, with Vidal and Pogba in a double pivot. Pirlo will have to sit out but his contribution to Juve has been fading a bit. Games seem to pass him by nowadays, though I honestly think that has something to do with Pogba being a little too rigid. He loves to burst forward but just kind of drifts out to the side and lets Vidal do double the work defensively.
The one thing I'd worry is that Juve's 3-5-2 means they defend rather deep, Berardi as a marauding No 10 would mean they'd have to do more defending from the front. The wingbacks would have to be narrower to crowd out the space, but I think that'd be good for Awesomoa since he always looks a bit unnatural having only 180 degrees of the pitch to work with.

Hey glad to see Kermit banned again
@Odd: the good thing about him, is that he plays wide on the right! Conte WANTS to switch back to a 4-3-3 but we don't have the personnel for it. Our only winger is Simone Pepe, and he's never fit. And quite frankly a bit shit.
I just hope we don't go for Menez or Nani ffs
We don't have any wingers so I'm sure we'll keep him.

Imagine. The whole world and their mother knows Ronnie is winning it. So does Cr7. He invited his whole family. Sitting right next to Messi. Who is there with Xavi and Iniesta next to him. Just chilling. The time for announcement comes. Everyone holds their breath and waits for Ronaldos name.They want to see his reaction. Ronaldo has his speech ready in his mind going through it once again. The envelope is opened. The announcer says The Ballon D'or goes to.....
Lionel Messi.
Oh God!!! I think Ronaldo will have an emotional breakdown right there in front of the world.

Hahaha, I would love this. I rather haave GOAT win this than CR7. It could all be part of the plan that Baltter has. Starting with his twitter attacks and a public humilation in front of his family and the whole world would be too epic.
I think it probably was a goal. But saying this we had a goal ruled off for 'offside' against Newcastle on the opening game of the season.
We didn't resort to kicking the opposition though. Ahh well, it's done with now. On to the next game against Blackburn on Wednesday.

I love those nicknames.
It would be shit if a Bayern player wins it. No single Bayern player deserves it, it was the whole team that drove Bayern's success, not any one player.I know its already a done deal but I want to believe. It would be so good if a Bayern player wins this
Lightning pls. Just because you'll get knocked out 2 years in a row by Bayern, doesn't mean he shouldn't win it. He is and was our best individual player.

That was Marcotti's blog after Ribery won the best player In Europe award.
I view the ballon d'or as the most outstanding footballer in the world award.
Quite simply that is not Ribery. In 2013 that was Ronaldo and Lahm.
Sadly defenders always get fucked over for this award. Thus the winner is Ronaldo.
You put Ribery into the RM squad and does he make them better instead of Ronaldo? No.
You put Ronaldo into the BM squad and does he make them better? Yes.
All this talk of Ribery winning is simply because of the historic BM season and he is the most flashy attacking player.

Astori: Yurt's reaction suggests this motherfucker has a 4 cm vertical jump and can only see out of one eye.
Niguez: Dunno. Other decent clubs reputedly keen. Can't be that shit.
That's okay. Next season we'll have an even stronger squad to try again.
Ribéry is still not that good though. Bayern's best player, yes, but not better than those he's up against for this award. He doesn't deserve it, he didn't do enough on his own to stand out.

If Messi was healthy then it would have been between him and Ron again.
I think Lahm is the best player in the world. There is no other play in the world that can do what he does. He is just a perfect player. Best player in the world at a couple of positions and has a flawless reading of the game.
I don't rate him AT ALL, he's not United or even top 4 material. Moyes should go all out for Dejan Lovren, he's three years younger and ten times better!
Vidal signed a contract extension a month ago, and I don't think Mourinho is going to sell Mata to a PL side?
Moyes is fucking around again, isn't he?
Haha, I really spilled my cup of water here
Ribery plays outstanding for a couple of years now and Ronaldo might have the more fancy skills and far more swagger but that doesnt win him nor Real anything. Ribery is essential for Bayerns system and he is the heart of attacking and creating chances. He is efficient as hell and deserves this shitty trophy just as Messi. Shanks, pls understand.
The heart of the system? Having the world's best captain and right back helps, an absolute beast of a dm in Martinez helps, one of the best goal keepers in the game in Neuer helps. Bayern are fantastic all over the park, much more balanced team than Madrid or Barca who rely on individual talent to win. Bayern don't, Bayern teamwork teams to death.Haha, I really spilled my cup of water here

Mkhitaryan injured apparently. Dortmund is cursed. By the time they play us they might not have any players left.
Beats me.
Unless we're getting some kind of eye-watering bargain, I hope we've not gone back for Herrera.

So what you are saying is that Ribery was so good because of the system. Lets face it, he is no world beater for France. He doesn't take them to another level. Portugal would be nothing without Ronaldo
Ronaldo can play in any system in the world and would still produce.

Portugal isn't that good with Ronaldo either. Got Capello'd in WCQ.
He ain't getting on the end of a Bebe cross.
Shanks pls. That CR7 show against Sweden was great but Ribery initiated 2 of the 3 goals that France scored to qualify, he doesnt score that many goals but he makes them happen, different quality - same result. You can favour which ever you like. And if we go by internationals than its a rather sad story for Ronaldo, so lets face it: he's might be the most highly skilled footballer of all time but his lack of tactical understanding and weak mentality blocked him against Messi for 4 years now and even Ribery surpassed him as overall football player.

I know haha. I dont expect much from them at rhe WC. But without him they dont qualify. France would still qualify without Ribery IMO
I have to say I've never seen a manager with such a topsy turvy season. Crisis? What crisis? Man Utd just won their 5th in six league games. Our league performance was lagging now we're getting results. Our cup competition performances were great; now they're very poor.
We're supposed to be replacing scholes; we're linked with defensive midfielders.
Welbeck's scoring. Januzaj Best is our superstar winger. Vidic is leaving. De gea gets clean sheets. Fletcher is back from the dead. Fergie time is dead. And we can't buy a penalty for love nor money.
Ah well. Onwards.

Its not like Messi and Ronlado playing with amatures. Did you take a look at Barcas or Reals squad? We surpassed them as a team only because we combined skill with tactics - have a matchplan against any opposition. Yet Riberys individual class is needed to outperform many teams as he is working like a bottle opener and as I said he initiates most of the goals in either France's national team and Bayern's.

Rather sad story for Ronaldo in terms of internationals???? Ribery's is non existent. If you exclude the finals that they have both appeared in because 04 was Figo's team and 06 was Zidane's team, then Ribery has achieved nothing. At least Ronaldo took a less impressive Portugal to the semi's of the Euros.
Edit: Also at the end of the day, if you use the criteria you set. Ribery doesn't even beat Totti.
