Manchester United will allow Wilfried Zaha to go out on loan, says Moyes
Disappointing imo. Can't believe he's choosing Young over Zaha. Travesty.

I think the BT commentators are being a bit harsh on Sunderland - the way they're talking, you'd think Sunderland keep forgetting what way they're facing and they're only drawing through sheer chance. It has been a lot more balanced than they're making out.
Absolute joke. We're taking people out the club without bringing anyone in.

Fuck Zaha.

We'll Wes Brown has already been sent off quite a few time this season has he not?
That should have been a foul and a red card.
Diaby broke his leg and ankle up there in a similar tackle back in 2006. Been injury prone ever since
Shit..

Not when we have to play Young over him. Sets a general bad precedent for meritocracy.
Looked like his other leg got trodden on.

No chance it was a red card.
It looks bad on that still but it wasn't that bad a foul at all. Would have been an awful awful decision to send him off, just like it was the last red card he got.

Looks worse to have a slacker getting in the team.

If anything it'll probably be a bit of both. Diaby's for reference:

On paper this should be an easy win and possibly our first thrashing of the season. However, with us I can see us making it a lot harder than we should.
So that's what Jojo's been doing since he's been injured

He was the last man, if it was given as a foul it would have been a red

So potentially ending someone's career is now not a red card? The challenge was out of control, studs up and high. He lunged in, both feet off the ground.
Yes he tried to get the ball, but that doesn't stop the tackle being dangerous and poorly executed.
This kind of shit needs to be stamped out of football. If there is no way of making the challenge in a safe manor, don't make the challenge at all. Simple as.
I don't think this team is capable of thrashing anyone.
We'll score 2 goals at best, defend until the end, possibly with 4 FBs on the pitch.

Yep. Wenger has started to become anti-football after we score a goal. It's working though...

I would have to see a replay but I think there were 2 other players pretty close to it.
You can end someone's career by not even fouling them. The injury has nothing to do with whether it's a foul, or a yellow or red - so that's the first thing.
I don't think it was out of control. I don't think it was high. I don't think it was a lunge with both feet off the ground.
People get hurt in football. The idea you shouldn't be able to tackle unless you're 100% sure you won't hurt them is complete nonsense.
It should have been a foul and a yellow card. That's it.
but Zaha's crap though. At least the few times he wore the utd shirt.

Imagine getting your chance at a club like Man Utd, coming from The Championship, and then being a tit in training.
The only advantage to having a small squad is that you tend not to get wasters pissing you off with their existence

Fulham are truly awful. I hope we can score at least 3. 4-5 will be real nice.

Apparently he's been like that since he got the move in January. Some Palace players were not impressed.
Just seems like a dickhead. £15m. FFS.

City are gonna absolutely batter Cardiff. Can easily see both Negredo and Aguero scoring hattricks
You guys need need to realise there's no such thing as easy wins. Last season we drew this fixture and Fulham have some talented players.
Cardiff will defend with their entire team just you wait. City should win but wouldn't surprise me if Cardiff were hard to break down.
Think a lot of the £15m is add ons for appearances and success, so he might never end up costing that much.
You have to believe that if Zaha was doing good in training he would get more starts, his absence from even the subs bench tells us that behind the scenes he is either not trying, disruptive or not good enough. The few times he has come on he has run into players and produced very little, though in pre season he showed some real potential. A loan is the best thing for him if he isnt even going to get on the bench.

I agree, Wes Brown didn't really seem out of control and had no intention to cause harm. He did win the ball and the injury was just an unfortunate consequence.

There is though. Especially against teams like Fulham, who, when they're not on their game, can be brushed aside without breaking a sweat.
There are no games that you can assume will be easy, but there are easy games.
