Watching the Man U game again. Gee Sagna should have been sent off. If that was the other way around I'd be raging but we scored an offside goal again and got away with that one.

Hmm lucky day. Sagna's experience will be useful for the remaining games. His red card would have hurt a lot. Arsenal fans should be more appreciative of Sagna, he gave the best years of his career to us, and is only leaving because offered him a poop contract. Wasn't great today though, very lucky.

Sagna has been pretty terrible this season. His leg breaks have really hampered him it seems. Last season he was so good but I don't see him regaining that form.

I have a bad feeling about wednesdays game.

I bet with you that Bayern will score a goal in the first 15 minutes of the game. I even see them winning in Camp Nou honestly. Bartra plays again and Piqué will probably stay bad during this leg as well.

Regarding the Madrid game, I think Borussia has got it. No Remuntada this year, but who knows how entertained we will be ?

Would be hilarious if a Spanish team makes it through to the final. With the way both teams played last week though I think the Spanish would be lucky to not let in another 4.

Watch Dogs looks so fucking good and its similarities to Person of Interest just raises my hype even more.

Still torn whether or not to get it for PS3 or PS4 though.

Seems pointless not to wait and get it on a superior system, assuming you'll be buying the PS4 at some point anyway. Guy talked about the advantages for things like AI and interactivity with the city and yourself. Plus the obvious visual (and hopefully framerate) advantages it seems a no brainer to go for the better version.

Oh for sure, the benefits outweigh the negatives. Still, it's dependent on when the console comes out in the UK. If you're talking up to a couple of months, I probably am better off waiting. There's enough games not out for next gen to tide me over so it would probably be ideal to wait. Launch line-up has sold me on a day one purchase of the console.
 
So that's two now? Nocerino and Boateng.

Hmmm... #PadoinFuture
Pretty much, yeah. They both scored more/had more chances when Ibra was on the pitch.
@Frank and Lucifer

What's going to happen to Nocerino, Flamini and Muntari next season?
Nocerino: he'll probably leave, hasn't played a lot during the year and isn't happy with it. He was talking to Lodi yesterday night about leaving, according to some rumors.
Flamini: he'll probably stay, if he keeps up playing like he did lately I don't see him leaving. Last few months almost convinced Galliani as far as I know.
Muntari: just like Flamini. He started playing at half season and has been decent enough to stay next year too.

As Frank said, Noce is probably going to be the one to leave with Traorè, so we'd free up two spaces in the first team that will be occupied by Cristante and (hopefully) a new player.

Do we know if FIFA 14 is coming out on next-gen consoles as well? Seems too unlikely not to have it come out on them.

Otherwise my final PS3 games of the year are The Last of Us, Grand Theft Auto IV and Batman: Arkham Origins. From then on it's all PS4 baby.

Edit: With the exception of picking up older PS3 games I missed out on. But cross-gen games like Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed 4, etc. will be PS4.

It'll definitely be released but don't expect much of an upgrade. The first Madden on Xbox 360/PS3 was pretty poor but it got better the following season.

Don't know if I'm doing a DC here but Pelligrini's agent was spotted with Txixi.

Would be a good replacement, I reckon. Stylistically it makes sense.

City EDS play Oldham tonight in the Manchester Senior cup.

Richards & Rodwell start alongside someone who is simply known as 'Trialist 1' on the team sheet.

Canny wait for MNF tonight.

One of those fixtures/other circumstances combo that gets your dick wet. Had a productive day, get to sit back with a big game pizza and watch Benteke fight Di Canio.

Mignolet (Cech); Zabaleta (Rafael), Luiz (Ferdinand), Flores (Dawson), Baines (Rose); Carrick (Schneiderlin); Mata (Hazard), Maloney (Mirallas), Bale (Cazorla); Suarez (Benteke), van Persie (Michu)

pls

4-1-3-2.

I know Luiz has swapped between defence and midfield but SO FUCK

Been a bad year for central defenders, none have really stood out. So much so I was contemplating picking O'Shea and fucking Colonic.

I want us to sign Maloney if Wigan go down and we stay up. Be good back up for Sess.
 
I have a bad feeling that Sony and Rockstar will announce PS4 versions of GTA5, Last of Us, GT6 and Beyond a week after the games come out respectively. I'll be livid if they do.

GTA5 and GT6 will get next gen versions, of that I have no doubt. Because they would sell consoles.
