Mentioning Gervinho reminds me about one Fifa match I played with my friend around Christmas. I played as Denmark/Bendtner and he played as Ivory Coast/Gervinho.

Gervinho scored the winner on fucking extra time.

I died inside that day

Yeah but stranger things have happened. Utd didn't have the best squad last season too.

No but they were masters at grinding results and had the best manager to grace the game. Fergie was worth 20 points regardless of squad.

Liverpool are not good at grinding results. Liverpool either blow teams away or drop points. West Brom/Aston Villa.

I don't disagree with you, but there's always a chance.

Of course there's a chance but it's a very slim one. More chance that Liverpool could miss out on top 4 altogether if Moyes sorts his shit out.

Liverpool or Everton are the teams I want in the top 4 but with Mata at United they are a very big threat now.

Man, I had a scare tonight. Went for some drinks after work in Moorgate and I work up in Hammersmith with a dead phone with no idea where I was. Luckily I found the right night bus to get me home.


Like Liverpool's top four chances, I'm in a fucking state.

I couldn't imagine. Whenever our key players leave they seemingly always eventually come crawling back (Arshavin, Tymo, Bystrov, Kerzhakov). I hope you guys manage to overcome these personnel losses this season and manage to avoid repeating

I'm sure you said that about Stoke.

Though Stoke may not be as tenacious as they were under Pulis, they are still a mildly competent team - they managed to beat Chelsea as well, don't forget.

Fulham, on the other hand, are a complete joke in every respect.

Fulham are poop. They are going down almost guaranteed.

Pulis will keep Palace up most likely. But how shit does Pulis make Holloway look? This is basically the same players and Holloway walked away because he couldn't do it while Palace make the signing of the season in Pulis. I hate Pulis but he's good at getting results.

If Palace stay up I won't be looking forward to Selhurst Park next season.

http://www.championsleague.ca/2014/...ic-quitter-who-has-let-united-down-37668-9115


Arsenal legend Martin Keown has lambasted United captain Vidic for his decision in the Daily Mail. Vidic yesterday “mutually” decided that his tenure in the United backline would finish this year.

In a post titled, “Quitter Vidic has let United down… he’s left as soon as things got tough at Old Trafford,” Keown wrote:

I was stunned to hear that Nemanja Vidic will be leaving Manchester United at the end of the season.

It looks as though as soon as things have become a bit tough at Old Trafford, their captain wants out.

Of course I do not know every piece of inside information about what goes on at Manchester United but they have given Vidic so much over the years and his departure will hurt the fans.

Vidic is not old, he is 32, so he should be rolling up his sleeves and fighting for the club that allowed him to win five Premier League titles, the Champions League, three League Cups and one Club World Cup.

I wouldn’t want to give that up — where does he think he is going to be better off? It disappoints me that he is leaving and that his representatives are telling people that he will only consider deals of £4million and up.

Maybe David Moyes hasn’t fought to keep him and that has made the decision easier but it doesn’t make it right.

When I was at Arsenal, I clung on with my fingernails, staying until I really had nothing left to offer at 37 years old.

So why is Vidic running away? He has been a fantastic player for them — one of the best defenders in Premier League history — but he is turning his back on them, the club that took the captaincy off his centre back partner, Rio Ferdinand and gave it to him.

That was a huge show of faith so it is a shame he is not willing to battle on. He should be fighting to the bitter end.

United will miss his leadership qualities and aerial dominance. He attacks the ball brilliantly and is a commanding figure who makes United almost impenetrable in the air, similar in style to John Terry.

He is up there with Sol Campbell, Terry, Ferdinand, Jaap Staam and Tony Adams as the best central defenders of the Premier League era. Vincent Kompany will join that group if he carries on at this level for another couple of years.

Vidic will be remembered fondly by Manchester United fans although, in my mind, he isn’t quite as good as Stam, who was the greatest centre half to have played for the club.

So how do United prepare for life after Vidic? For now, I’d advise Moyes to pick a central defensive partner for the Serb and stick with him, injury permitting.

He has Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans who could do that job on a regular basis but I’d back Smalling. His passing has improved dramatically and he deserves a proper run in the middle. There comes a time when you have to stop being a utility player because it is demoralising.

When I returned to Arsenal under George Graham I was moved across the back four on a regular basis and I struggled.

You are not taken seriously by the fans because they don’t know what your strengths are and only when you cement a true position do you feel part of the fabric of the club.”

What do you think of Keown’s opinion? Is Vidic a quitter? Has he let United down?

I don't agree with Keown there.

Don't see an issue with any of Bla's posts. Every game is a potential tough game and sooner or later Bayern will lose a game. It's football.

Not Bla's fault Bayern are the greatest team on the planet. But even the best lose, it's the way it goes.

Liar. You don't expect that. I will be overjoyed if we can win though.
