The subs are worryingly predictable lol. Kaboul will come on for Dawson at some point because Daws will be aimlessly punting the ball up the field. Townsend will get shifted over to the left because he's a greedy little bastard who can't stop shooting...

Very true. :lol

Newcastle United (4-3-3): Tim Krul; Mathieu Debuchy, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Fabricio Coloccini (c), Davide Santon; Vurnon Anita, Moussa Sissoko, Yohan Cabaye; Hatem Ben Arfa, Papiss Cisse, Loic Remy

I uh.....I like this lineup.
 
The official utd twitter account is very lazy isn't it. It doesn't even provide in game updates like all the other club twitter accounts. Just gives team news and its back two hours later. Amazing

Copenhagen made a separate account for it and thank fuck for that, don't want my timeline spammed with useless updates when I'm watching the matches myself.

They get the team news wrong too.

And they didn't announce Fellaini till like 4 days after it happened :lol

Marry, you're too late. Adnan is already a United idol.

What should I do, finish Guacamelee while listening to awesome music or watch Ozil get injured?

Perfect cameo for Janujaz. This is what the last game against West Brom should have been like last season. A few more games like this from the bench and he could easily be pushing for a first eleven spot against the likes of Valencia, Nani, Young.
 
In a frankly bizarre twist, Sampdoria caught a Genoa scout dressed in camouflage gear spying on their training ahead of Sunday’s derby.

The two local rivals will face off at Marassi on Sunday at 19.45 UK time. Click here for a match preview.

It seems Genoa were hoping to gain an advantage, but were left red-faced when Primavera youth team goalkeeping Coach Luca De Prà was caught spying on Samp’s training session.

It was Sampdoria who revealed the strange story with a statement on their official website and photograph of the man dressed in full camouflage gear to hide in the bushes outside the Bogliasco camp.

“We knew the derby was a matter of nerve, tactics and strategy, but we frankly never expected it to become a matter of espionage,” read the Sampdoria site.

“And yet, in Genoa, this too can happen. Just two days before the big match, Delio Rossi ordered training behind closed doors and an emissary from the other team was asked to spy on the tactical systems for Sunday night.

“It was a real secret mission set by the Genoa generals, a military action with full camouflage gear and mountain boots.

“Like a would-be Rambo hidden in the Poggio bushes, Luca De Prà, Coach of the Primavera youth team goalkeepers from the club of such noble descendants, could not fight the counter-measures of the Blucerchiati’s intelligence services.

“However, there are no prisoners, nor bloodshed. Once he was caught in the act, with his hands in the cookie jar, the soldier from the other side was set free so he could return to base.


“After all, one must always forgive enemies, as nothing irritates them more.”

Genoa released their own statement assuring the spying mission was his "personal initiative" and De Prà has been suspended awaiting "an explanation."

Hard to take too much from that, being against one of the weakest teams in the league at home with their manager suspended and with ten men. And the first half was dire.

But the second half has left me with a real smile on my face. Fellaini looked like exactly what we need. It was a delight to see Carrick as high up the pitch as he's been in years, and Marwan's a real fucking hard bugger.

And Adnan. He has to get more chances than this so I hope Moyes is brave enough to give him the time. He did more in 25 minutes than Valencia did for the whole match. He's a pleasure to watch, and look how comfortable our players were just giving him the ball.

Carrick was good I think. Want to see Evans given some game time in the CL tho, rest Rio.
