Wenger refused to shake Martinez hand.

He is such a bad loser and has been that way for years.

Thats why I can never like him.

Great result for Wigan, This is the why the Premier League is the best...

*Looks at Bilbao dismantling of UTD and City's flailing against Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League*

Oh...
 
what the hell were those two doing...hahahaha

Caldwell being a classic wind up merchant, persisting after rvp refused to shake his hand, whilst shaking with others :lol

rvp obviously frustrated from being picketed and no one being able to pass to his feet all gam

hats off to wigan, pure hunger and better tactics

RVP form from the season goner, right before Euro 2012 as well.
he will probably be inivisible there for us again.
Huntelaar ftw then I guess.

Just realized that QPR's final four opponents are Tottenham, Chelsea, Stoke, and Man City. Yes!

Excellent news for Wigan (whose last two are against Blackburn and Wolves).

Bolton have two more matches to play than either, so I think they may just escape.

something Ive been noticing here, people hate QPR huh?

I don't hate them. I just want to see Barton go down after leaving us to be captain of QPR.


Just found this GIF. Make good use of it Kyoufu.

Wow. Great stuff by Wigan, well worth the win. Just think, if decisions hadn't gone our way at the Bridge, Wigan would have beaten Chelsea, United and Arsenal one after the other. Crazy stuff.

Also, no hate against QPR. I just think it would be amusing to see Barton have his Twittering while playing in the Championship.

I have no doubt that another PL manager would sign Barton.
 
Kyoufu giving it large tonight, even read a post that mentioned 3rd being possible in the height of his bizarre ecstasy


To be fair, he pretty much singlehandedly dragged them up to third place in the League. He's probably exhausted at this point.

well, nobody wants chamakh to start a game, it would feel like playing in the reserves

ugh, one of those clubs looking for a battler/thug for sure

Good news is that Koscielny will be back for the Chelsea game at the weekend so we'll at least have our two best CBs playing. Also Gibbs was apparently 50:50 to play today so he might come back for the Chelsea game.

I still doubt he will go to City. Will probably go to Madrid when they finally realize that they need a world class striker.

they are better at scoring goals than pretty much any club in the world and benzema and higuain are both very good. what they need is more depth in their defense and maybe midfield.
 
RVP is not

A: a disloyal cunt B: a money-whore C: unimportant to the club future

those are the criteria necessary to make the switch from Arsenal to City

like Nasri, Adebayor, Kolo Toure and Clichy

The Telegraph seem adamant that Gaitan will be at United next season.

But Times journalist James Ducker has called the Telegraph story "utter horseshit."

I wouldn't mind Gaitan playing for United. I just have a problem with his price.

I think there are better players out there that United could buy for £20m.

But he wants to have a chance of winning something right? Emirates cup to included.

Apparently Arteta is on crutches and has protective boot on his right foot, can't see him playing against Chelsea at the weekend, Ramsey is going to have to step up.

The Telegraph were just parroting that Portuguese report from last week, right? Perhaps the Times guy doesn't believe the original rumor. You'd have to think there would be some proof for another domestic paper to run it but then again, British journalism isn't necessarily known for its professionalism..

I'll put money in it he won't go City. I'm sure of it. He'll stay this season because they're in the CL for sure. And then next season he's 29. Not old by any stretch of the imagination but I don't understand why Madrid, City or Barca are going to splash out on a near 30 year old with only one and a half great seasons under his belt

NO! Nothing's gone right today. No Arteta for Chelsea makes me more worried than I already am regarding that game. At least Kos is back...

It looks like Fabio will be going to Benfica on loan.

Journalists must assume that United will be doing more business than just the loan deal.

British football journalists write a lot of rubbish. But they rarely go full out and say that such and such will definitely happen.
