Thank you Welbeck! I am feeling more comfortable now, but lets not come out flat. We should be able to put in 1 or 2 more.

Going to see Cabin in the Woods tonight. Think we're grabbing a Frankie and Bennies before hand too. Should be sweet. I'll have to stick the second half of the FA Cup on record though.

Thank fuck for that Danny



Delph? He was good at Leeds

Well we sent him back to Leeds on loan this season. I like the idea of Clark developing into a cdm. But I don't think it matters as long as McLeish is in charge. If we get relegated I wonder if he keeps his job. I bet yes.


Also, Im thrilled that I'm going to be missing the first legs next week while I'm on vacation in the Caribbean. :(

There's previous between Ryan Taylor and Ashley Young:

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newc...-at-england-star-ashley-young-72703-28498413/

RYAN TAYLOR has accused Ashley Young of “conning” referee Stuart Attwell for the foul which led to Aston Villa’s winner yesterday.

The England international went down heavily after a challenge from Joey Barton, and from the free-kick James Collins glanced the ball past Steve Harper.

Captain for the day Barton was furious with the decision from Attwell, and made his thoughts clear to Young too as the player rolled around on the floor.

Taylor – making his comeback after a three-game suspension – sided with Barton afterwards, and told the Chronicle: “They got a goal through what, basically, wasn’t a foul. Ashley Young cons the ref a good few times every game.

“He fell for it, and we paid the price.

“It was disappointing to come away with a defeat.

“We created some good chances before they got the goal.

“It never went our way.”

Taylor had Villa rocking when he sent over a stoppage-time free-kick, and he felt that United would have deserved a draw had the effort dipped under the bar.

He said: “There wasn’t a great deal in it. It wasn’t the best game you’ll see, but at the end they’ve taken away three points.

“We’ll crack on and keep working hard before we play Man United, and hopefully the home form will stay good.”

Taylor is hopeful Shola Ameobi will be back for the clash with the Red Devils, and said: “Shola would have been a big presence for us.

“We probably needed him on a day like this to rough up a few defenders – especially Richard Dunne and James Collins.

“They’re two centre-halves who like a good physical battle.

“The inexperience of Nile showed, and it would have been nice if Shola had been part of that team. Hopefully he’s not too bad, and recovers pretty quickly. We need him throughout the season.”

FAO United fans defending the dive.

Yes there was contact but Young created the contact himself. It really was a brilliant dive and I don't blame the referee at all really, a really tough call to make and the blame is 100% on Young.

It was the same thing we've seen so many times this season, "buying a penalty." It's not really a dive, but like you say the contact wasn't there until Young created it. He's searching for a leg to trip over more than a path to run through and it's unfortunate.

It's a clever technique and it'll continue until the FA grows some balls and does something about it.

I can't wait for them to all fuck off. Giggs, Scholes & Fergie. Then it may stop. Great players and a great manager, no one can doubt that. But the media arse kissing it just too much.

It would be really hard to prove something like that though, and ban it. It's the ones where there's no contact at all that they should do something about, I think.

McLeish's post match interview:

"It's always tough coming to a place like Old Trafford..... We have some key players absent..... On another day we have a penalty go our way....."



Same old crap. It's now 7 wins in 34 games I think.

Adam Johnson has great technique, deserves a team that will use him more often.
Click to expand...

He does deserve mid-table football, yes. He's not good enough for top-4, unless he change his mindset. He's perfect putting on in the 80th minute, but he's not prepared to play football for 90, let alone 45. He's ONLY effective when coming on as late sub, when everyone is tired.

I swallow Hudson's cum during Barca games.

Fully warranted though.

Man United this season... not so much.

At least La Liga isn't Sky's main billing. It's a secondary affair, and the audience that tunes into it wants to hear about how beautiful and technical it is. Just part of the appeal.

Anyway I'm not even watching this abortion after Rooney's pen so I have no comment on the commentating.

Dwight Yorke doing his best Jamie Redknapp. Fuck off and give us Neville, I'm sure he'd give Young the crucifixión he deserves.
