Always does, for better or worse. He's usually the one trying to take all the chances and make all the passes near the end of a game. Great to see, sometimes. Hopefully he'll be able to channel that passion in a more composed manner by the time we sell him on to United.
Didn't you beat us last year at home in the league cup?
Duh, wasn't thinking of that one. Well, the first game that mattered.
And this time against a real first team squad even.Baconsaurus Rex

Second gif there definitely makes it look more two-footed than I thought it was during the in-game replays.

I hears 62 something but didn't make it out!

Not watched the game, only just found out about the red.
Have some sympathy with ref, last .gif makes it look a very dangerous tackle but the first one makes it look like a perfect one. Though it seems Dean's view was closer to the last .gif's.
that fucker scored? Crap

Clichy also won one with us.
Didn't get why the fans started booing him this match. Don't remember noticing it before. He left us wholly amiably.
That is just due to the angle. If Dean had made that call from that perspective it may have been an understandable mistake. As it is, he bottled it. The red card better be rescinded.. we have some winnable games ahead of us but our cover for CB will just be young Rekik with Kolo off in Africa.

Yeah, first gif makes it look totally clean and a fantastic tackle, which it was, but every other angle makes it seem 'soft' at the least. It was a tough one for the referee to call.
I really doubt it will be rescinded; they would never undermine one of their referees to that degree. The whole appeal system seems to be mostly a formality.
Best league in the world.
Fuck football farid, I'm gonna watch anime with AnimeGAF
Give me something, and a few gifs.
Someone recently had a red card rescinded for a smaller side... hopefully they follow suit. (Edit: Just looked it up, Nzonzi had one overturned for Stoke) It's entirely possible that City won't challenge it though since Liverpool would be the 4th game if they don't overturn it.
Betis is only 3 points behind Madrid. Incredible.
The only leagues that aren't predictable are the ones no-one cares about.
gtiyh
The fuck does that have to do with anything?
True but I'm still sick of it. It's either Manchester or London.
Why not Newcastle or Liverpool?
I couldn't remember the name of the team but saw an article about it. Nothing other than that.

Because they're not good enough?

Think Man Utd's win at the Etihad is the match that will decide the league. City needed to stop Utd winning that, especially as they still have to go to Old Trafford
Yeah, it's looking mighty pivotal provided we don't fuck it all up again. Not even points-wise, but mentally the push that will have given our players after last season is brilliant.
SO UNITED-GAF, IT'S
To be fair, many teams are a few points behind us but it's clear we're a league or two above this season

Confidence and momentum boost from that win was important.
If Vidic can find form (solid today IMO) and Rooney comes back and plays as he did for that 4/5 game spell I'll be confident. Rooney and RVP together up front were deadly.

Yeah, apart from a few Napoli matches I've seen you've consistently been the best team in the league
I thought there was definite promise in Kagawa's performance today when he was drifting in, so hopefully Fergie noticed that and thought that using him and Rooney as switcheroos would be great. Rooney's more than capable of playing out left so if the two swap and roam and support RVP, on paper we'd be great.
Real promise in the Carrick/Cleverley partnership as well, both were very good today for the most part.
I think it was a matter of keeping more bodies tight and compact while not sacrificing RVP. Welbeck was more capable of coming back and occupying someone than Hernandez, especially when Liverpool were on the rise.
We have a Serie D striking force though.
Always like sarky remarks like this because imagine saying this on the last day of last season. That day was why people think it's the best league in the world. Hard to argue with them.
:lol
How'd it look from the stadium?
Giovinco has 10 in 27 according to Wiki, that isn't bad! And Quag 9 in 18.

What the hell is going on? We are winning away, playing well and Labyad scored a wonderful goal?
Just finished watching the first half of the United game.
Carrick bossed the midfield. He's in excellent form atm.
RVP took his chance well but wasn't that involved in the game.
Thought United could have gotten a penalty when Wisdom shoved Kagawa into Reina.
Decent performance so far though.

Milan XI vs. Sampdoria (4-3-3): Abbiati; De Sciglio-Zapata-Mexes-Constant; Montolivo-Ambrosini-Boateng; Niang-Bojan-El Shaarawy.
Dat Niang.
Dat Niang.
Yeah Gio is a fantastic second striker <3 We just need a classy striker like Llorente or Welbeck to play in front of him.
It's technically 11 goals (Mirko stole his goal) and he's leading our assists chart with 5
