"I thought we played very well but couldn't get the final cross in to get the final chance in front of goal. We put three forwards out but Chelsea made it hard to score."
"I didn't have a great view of the penalty claims, but I think it's still a situation where the referees don't know what is handball and what isn't. I think the referee had a good game but I don't think the managers are quite sure.
"I am frustrated we didn't get the points but we'll take it and go and build on it"
Hmm. 50/50, David. You go ahead and build on it.

Giroud would get into your starting eleven.
Does it look like someone has blown up a bag of maltesers and then poured a Fruit Twist Fanta in there?

Bale will follow his lifelong hero giggs. Ronaldo will follow. It is known.
"Well he's got one thing right - this is a special club". OK that was corny.
Also not denying the interest in Bale.
Well that was a pretty awesome way to end the season. Incredibly dramatic.
I know but when you consider how much we've spent on the squad and the coach we have it shouldn't be anywhere close to this result. One goal against Granada? Not to talk shit about them, maybe they've improved but with our squad it should have been more than one goal. The most depressing thing that can happen is if we end up being just as shit with Bale in the squad, that will be even worse than the Kaka fiasco.
Moyes is a very reactive manager. He's not the type to say "well this is the team I pick and the opposition will have to deal with that". He'll pick his team to counter specific dangers from other sides.
Would I have made the same choice sending Giggs on instead of Kagawa? No. But with a few minutes to go, I can understand why Moyes made that choice.
I'm not going to read too much into it. Liverpool will see us carry more pace and not linger on the ball as much and I think we'll try to counter, and it'll be the same at the Etihad and I don't have a problem with that. Conceivably with Kagawa's speed of thought and strengths with his back to goal I could easily see him starting next week.
If he doesn't start vs Palace, that's the time Klopp should come with his motorbike and helmet.
you wont be laughing when gare7h 9ale turns up at anfield next week.
What's his shooting accuracy and chance conversion like?

Ah it was amazing, mostly because I've never been to a game in a standing section with a beer before haha. Since it was Gamescom all the trains were packed, plenty hot cosplayers around though. I would have went but I was with my dad, don't think he'd enjoy it.
I think it's more to show Roman that he doesn't care about Torres/Ba and to go get him a striker.
Don't think Rooney is leaving now.

It doesn't make any sense. Everybody knows Rooney would start if he went to Chelsea. He doesn't have to sabotage his lineup to express that feeling.
Did you not see the Slug smirk?
Bale m8. Another colossal fucking failure for your club to pursue.

Won't see another season like that for a while.
He missed an open goal, so 0%.
I agree. United will only embarrass themselves if they go for Bale.
Feel bad for Moyes. Actually, no I don't.
Cabaye is offski. No two ways about it. Is McCarthy the right replacement? Who knows.
What is a priority for me though is that we get a new striker in. Remy may never play for us and Cisse is 100% fucking horse crap.
:lol that was hilarious. And he protested so much after ahaha

Take back ba.
I like the guy already.
I agree with you, but the thing is this was only the second official match that we had and still really early to make some kind of judgement on Michelangelo/New Transfers.
I would take him back 100%. Would he want to come back? Doubt it.
Except last season Mourinho backstabbed Benzema and caused much controversy with the squad.
This season will be different. will be without the backstabbing and the controversy. though the latter i am not sure how long we will be without that. Casillas not playing this one did raise an eyebrow for me. Mind you I prefer Diego atm but Casillas should be given a fair chance.
in any case if u watched madrid match, take notice that for the first time in a long time, Benzema played a full 90 mins. very rare that happened last season. such is what Benzema needs. A consistent run of 90min games will improve his form. CR7 is still learning the new stuff he is expected to do from Carlo so it is to be expected.
We are still getting adjusted to Carlo's designs. We must give Carlo time.
Looking at our first five games and what comes after, it was very conceivable that we could have finished this run with 4 points, or at least to negative cunts like me. I expected a draw at Swansea, a win against Palace and the other three to be losses.
If we get out of this period with two draws away and the Palace win with 9 points, I'll be happy. A lot of winnable games after that.

He'd be better than Valencia on the right. He does decent going backwards too. Will add more creativity and make a difference to the team.
I think it's a bit of a panic buy but one that could work out.
Still doubting it though. We should know more soon.
But we'll still all go 'ffs moyes pls bring on kagawa'
What's the point if we have Ozil? I don't get it. Doesn't look like Rooney's leaving. Let's put that to bed, get Fellaini in, don't bother over Baines. That's the bare minimum we should be doing right now

I couldn't find it, but I found this.
RAWK continues to embarrass.
Oh my god that is pathetic.
Redcafe, Bluemoon, Arsenal Mania...none of those idiots come close.

Rooney isn't being sold to Chelsea. There is no one else that will buy him. You'll have to play Ozil out wide.
