There are plenty of players like Carrick and Barry, many of whom are a lot better.

No, he's pretty much fully fit.
Congrats on the job.
That are available and fairly priced? Not sure there are, to be honest. De Rossi could've done a job for City, but that fell through.
I suppose there was Joe Allen, to be fair.
Souness taking ill of zonal marking, do one.

Thanks mate.
You graduate next year right? What you planning on doing with your Economics degree? Mine is getting me nothing
I kinda like Souness. Not sure why.
Congrats. Where?
Retail isn't that bad depending where. Cinema (is that retail?) blew asshole. Toy shop was fun.
Congrats. Retail blows though.
He played with the U21s on Monday so Wenger might be erring on the side of caution. It wouldn't make sense for him to start either with the amount of time hes missed. Looking forward to seeing more of him in the future though, I think he has quite a lot of potential.I see. Interesting that Coquelin started instead of him tonight.
And congrats Viva
I feel really bad, I remember him as a poster.
Thanks mate.

I have absolutely no idea yet tbh.
There will be a few jobs fairs at my uni in a couple of months time. I'm going to go to those and see whats open to me.
If I can't find anything then I may apply for a post grad (if my grades are good enough) and stay in uni for an extra year.
Houston Dynamo vs. Olimpia was very goo yesterday. The rest of the group matches are going to be played tonight. I'll watch Sounders vs. Marathon

So why does Mancinis strategy always revolve around playing like a pussy in European games? It wasn't any different when he was at Inter, I think he never made it beyond the third round.
You have a 200 million+ squad, and you can't even dictate a game against a usually rather poor Ajax. You play with one striker and 2 holding midfielders. Well done.
I was surprised Mancini wasn't sacked last year, I guess his lucky championship win kept him on board.

Yes. Let's not forget that Carrick and Barry were once players who offered a lot more than just tactical discipline. Even players that are not defined by that attribute can do that job.
Dem JT's.
Ferguson favours Pep for United job
It's an article from Miguel Delaney. He isn't prone to making up bullshit so he's obviously heard something from someone he trusts.

You're right, but when they did so they played in teams that required them to over extend. Villa needed everything they could get from Barry, Spurs too, back then. United and City don't ask that from them now because they have such depth in and around the opposition goal.
United should groom OGS. In fact Blackburn should go for him.
That's a bit harsh. They held Dortmund scoreless for 86 minutes in the match between them. Ronaldo styled on them, but City lacks a player of his quality.. everyone but Barcelona does really.
Mancini has been undeniably poor in Europe in his career though. It'll be interesting to see how everything pans out. Hopefully we can beat Swansea and keep our league record on track.

Just got home from school and I find out City lost.
Utd would be perfect for cunte. He can cheat without getting in trouble.

I can already see Dat Pep Swag on the sidelines of Old Trafford, yelling at all his midfielders.
We don't have any midfielders.

I doubt you'd notice a huge difference if you swapped Barry for someone like Mulumbu. My point being that you shouldn't give Barry credit just because there's no one in the squad that can adequately replace him.
I remain with the faint, naive hope that he's turned down Villa, Blackburn and Bolton with a mind to only make the move back to England for the United job.

So Liverpool-gaf are you guys expected to rest a bunch of your players tomorrow in order to save them for the clash against Everton on the weekend?

Thanks guys.
Yeah I'm hoping it won't be too bad but I just can't be sitting around at home doing nothing so it's something to fill my CV with and a chance to save some money!

Bringing Thiago and some other wonder kids from Barca's academy (preferably midfielders)
I'd have hoped so ideally, but it's rumoured that we'll start Gerrard and Suarez. I normally wouldn't be massively bothered about resting Gerrard for a Premier League fixture, but he's usually brilliant against Everton.
Messi.

Schmelzer > Alaba
Lewandowski was awesome at Schmelzer's goal, too. He made room for the shot, I think Pepe would have surely touched it without Lewandowski and who knows where that ball would have gone.
lol but seriously

Congrats Viva <3 Not too bad for a start, it'll be an interesting experience at the very least.

I don't understand Gareth Barry. I watch him play, I look at his stats, his face, his name and everything about him is average and generic.

Interesting. Should be a good match then. They're actually showing this game on tv here in Canada. A welcome break from sopcast.
I think Mulumbu's quite underrated, to be fair. The difference is consistency, to me. Rodwell's a serviceable midfielder but he's prone to a mistake or two, and lacks the constant threat of a lethal pass. Can't think of the last time Barry or Carrick had a shocker, at least when the latter isn't playing at centre back.
James "JM7" Milner on the other hand is a star, a man who is a brand, a man who will gain recognition through the platform of Channel 5 and the Europa League. A man who deserves better.

It's because there are a plenty of players like him in Italy.
Congrats on the job Viva. If anything it will be good for your CV. Make sure you keep job hunting whilst your working though!
That comes with age or rather experience. I think Rodwell will eventually be able to do his job anyway, and then no one will care about Barry.
It's irritating more than anything else. We now have an annoying trip to Germany where we have to win.

You will have too many when he gets there.
I said the other day he could probably get the younger guys, Tello, Thiago, Montoya etc. But I doubt he could convince Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Pique, Busquets.

Holy Shit! Our (Farnborough) manager was approached by a team for our manager and he turned it down. He owns our club and they were not paying much :lol There was rumors it was Blackburn but I didn't think it would be true but maybe it was :lol
