Pretty funny. Lescott is such a goof too, the team constantly makes fun of him. He's popular but goofy.
Always trying to look serious for interviews and then he keeps doing weird shit off-camera.

Touré is a beast,
He's been the man of the last City games.

They're not supposed to, strictly speaking, iirc.

Champions League, what an achievement! From 10th last season to 2nd this season!
IDK if that was posted
Saddest/funniest moment of yesterday's match. All that work to keep the ball in... and then that pass.

Generally intoxicants are forbidden.
You can drink alcohol and still be a Muslim, it's just committing what is regarded as a grave sin and really you shouldn't under any circumstances.
I'd take Pogba over Clev.
You think Barry is better than Carrick or Scholes? He's not even better than Fletcher.

It's not that we're sitting back and playing for a draw or anything, but we really have to go for this now. We're going to have to beat Fulham anyway, so bring on Defoe and throw everything we have at them.
Their main scorer, John Guidetti, was a loan from City. Will be interesting what he'll do this summer. Best case would be a PL loan, but he might want to leave instead of loan.
downing is just foreshadowing england's summer
No CL, you wont make it past qualification silly.
YEAH BUDDY!
Lol, at least it was money well spent - except for Kaka, Coentrao, Altintop, Sahin . . . nevermind.
At least we have Ronaldo
I think he's about as good as Carrick. I'd take Silva over Scholes though, for obvious reasons.
I'd like to see him in the PL.

this is like a carbon copy of 04/05
- chelsea finally breaking out with a sugar daddy injection
- united need rebuilding bad
- crashing out of europe with a old midfield
only difference is city arent as scary as mourinho's chelsea and we dont have a 18 year old ronaldo
I think there is still a difference. Chelsea was sucessful even pre-Abramovic and not too long ago. I still remember the glorious Gianfranco Zola from the time around the milenium.
They also won a few FA Cups, the league and european cups.
City's last sucess dates what? Around 40 years back? They wouldn't stand a chance without that dirty oil money.
As have I, as I only know pretty loose Muslims, but I'm pretty sure the Koran says not to consume alcohol or something along those lines.
Scholes is done, Fletcher's having real trouble with his illness and Carrick's a decent player. Say what you want about Barry, and he gets a lot of shit because he's not as flamboyant as most but he keeps things ticking over and he does his job very well. I don't think picking between Barry and Carrick is as straight forward as you're implying, and I'd have Barry.
Think Carrick's got a better passing range but they both do the "enforcer" job equally well.

Yay. We can't even sub N'Zogbia.
That Guidetti loan has worked out well, yeah? Boy, I dunno what we're gonna do with him next year.
My fiancée is still sleeping in the next room so I had to just cheer with fist pumps and the caps lock button on my phone, haha.
I'm not disagreeing with you.
SAF knows where our weakness lies and I can see him trying to correct that in the summer.
And even with our inferior squad we're still only 3 points behind City with a match in hand.
Even though we've blown an 8 point lead
Same here.

He should get a card for being a prick right there. Adebayor
Seems like both Manchester teams could really do with some new blood in midfield, I mean are we seriously discussing whether one would prefer Barry or Carrick? It's like a bunch of Hodgsons' in here.
Me too. I still not sure if he's good enough. He's a fighter...
He couldn't possibly score more goals as a 19 y/o, I'm just wondering if he got enough quality. He's not exactly scoring Cissé-esque goals, a lot of them seems to be result of Dutch defenses being really shit and giving him a lot of opportunities and space.
He needs to play more next season, in a better league.
Monsters! Monsters, the lot of 'em!

IMO I prefer Carrick to Barry all day long, but when Carrick is on song. That is not a given by any means. Barry is better than people give him credit for though.
Carrick is a good player though, he's been great this season, wonderful passing range and breaks up alot of play. Mentally and physically lacking though.

Realistically, the title race is over. Nothing wrong with going out fighting to the last.
A trophyless season might do some good, though. Obviously, there's our midfield issues to sort out and dead wood to carve out, but I also feel like we've been complacent tactically and mentally this season after a booming start. It's not just City's ascendancy: the fear factor of Old Trafford is gone: United has gone behind eight times at home and won none of those games. We had some good matches, but apart from that early gung-ho period it never seemed like the side gelled together in consistent fashion.
Do you realise how much money Roman has put into the club? He did a huge overhaul. The original players were better than City's, but they both did huge investments in order to get where they are.
I might be wrong but one or two years in Chelsea had very few original players left in the eleven.
ive seen jewish people gobble up sausage and bacon
looks like everyones going to hell
It'd be sad to see Aston Villa relegated. They need a new manager so badly.
If the price is right and we get decent money from sell Berbatov, then I think ManU should.

Fixed for you there. No need to thank me.
