Soda Jerk Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 I didn't know you're not allowed to celebrate with your fans. Young got a yellow card for hugging a few fans in the first row after scoring a penalty. Ridiculous rule.Macheda's strike was magnificent. Villa should have won though.

ca_gere Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Kolarov starting for city today. Let's hope he gets a free kick 50 yards out.

Soda Jerk Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 United are going to be unbeaten and not win the league.They'll lose to Chelsea away, but no one else.United are incredible at not losing. They just need to figure out how to win. Valencia also needs to figure out how to not be injured, and return quicker. There's just no delivery. Two wingers who can't cross is just pointless. Why is Nani taking corners when he can't cross? When you're on 70k a week, your corner has to beat the first man. Is it so much to ask Nani to kick the ball higher than 8feet in the air?The midfield was bossed by 3 kids. Carrick, Park, Fletcher and Nani were all dreadful, and were schooled by inexperienced youths + Downing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 I just heard that Mancini took off Tevez and replaced him with Barry. A real sign of attacking intent there. He's got to go, his lack of ambition is embarrassing now. I think he wants to leave but wants the pay off, so he wont quit. Get Rijkaard in. He'll get them playing attacking football and at the same time cause anarchy in the dressing room, if we're lucky we might even get to see a fight between him and Mario on the touch line.

RossP Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Aberdeen are now bottom of the league.Until Caley romp home against Hamilton. You're welcome It'll be exactly 1 year unbeaten in the league, if we don't get beat against Celtic in a fortnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 welcome back lolerpool. That little winning streak was worrying but after the mid-week draw and the loss today it's clear this squad's going to struggle for the whole season.

Soda Jerk Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 City need Hiddink. He is one of the best at getting the best out of what he's got. I don't want them to get Hiddink though, because Hiddink is good, and City are all gays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 I want them to get any coach that gets them playing some decent football but doesn't win anything. I'm going to end up watching plenty more of their games this season and I don't want them all to be super dull affairs. Plus they do have some players I like that I'd like to see used properly (or at all in AJ's case).Super rich teams should be obliged to take the old Galacticos approach and ignore defense and just score loads of goals until everyone hates each other and the coach gets sacked.

Soda Jerk Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Rumour has it, from a City supporting member of my family anyway, AJ wants out of City. Allegedly Manc isn't even speaking to him and disapproves hugely of his partying lifestyle. He also said recently to the press "some good runs and crosses doesn't make you a good player", so he appears to not really respect or value him. Behind Silva, I'd rate Adjo as their most technically prominent player, and possibly the only player in the side who can get behind the defence with the ball at his feet. Getting rid would be daft, but it probably comes with the territory of being a team with loads of money. There's going to be plenty of ego clashes.United should buy him. He could be the successor of Ryan Giggs, and Fergie would stamp that partying nonsense right out of him. He can also take a free kick too, which would be handy. Nani currently thinks he's a bit of a deadball specialist. He isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 He should play for us, given he's a Toon fan and all.Jay Bothroyd and Chris Smalling being in the England squad kinda takes the gloss off Carroll's call-up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Carroll will probably actually play though. Hopefully Bothroyd won't. Why Bothroyd anyway, and not Kevin Davies? He barely even got a chance.I hope Gabby and Carroll start. Loads of pace, and loads of Abidal and Gallas getting smashed about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Chelsea are getting cunted, Danny Welbeck has been supreme, and that's not even sarcasm this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsinho Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Sunderland have been tremendous today, brilliant pressing from the front for the whole match. Chelsea never got a sniff and no player in blue was ever given space and time on the ball. The third goal exemplified that with Cole getting that backpass all wrong under pressure near the corner flag. Great game to watch. Obviously it helps that Chelsea were missing the core of their usual first team but their backups are no slouches so I wouldn't pin all their woes on that.

Soda Jerk Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 A midfield of Mikel, Zhirkov and Ramires is still a very solid midfield. Taking Malouda off for Kalou was a strange one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 This guy was prepared and new what was going to happen today Chelsea still had great players out there but that midfield three just hasn't been doing it lately. Ramires especially has been disappointing recently. They did well without him for a while but Lampard is really being missed now. I can see more points being dropped before a return to form once Lamps and Essien are back.I didn't see the game but it looks like Madrid were a little lucky tonight.

Soda Jerk Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Mikel and Zhirkov did well. Ramires not so much. I don't know how Josh McEachran remedied that though. He looks very reasonable for his age, but not the type of player to drag them back into the game. Taking Malouda off just killed them I thought. He's possibly the best crosser of the ball in the side, and he's very composed. They were just lashing at everything when he came off. Baffling decision. I think it all came down to the defence. They didn't look comfortable at all, and Welbeck playing between the lines somehow caused them all kinds of problems. Danny Welbeck caused Chelsea problems, at Stamford Bridge. Good grief.

delboy Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 It's the 'magic' of the FA Cup for Cambridge tonight. Don't think I'll be feeling much magic when we get well and truly tanked away at League One Huddersfield in our replay! Wish I could be there but shall have to suffer the pain from the comfort of my own armchair listening on the radio! Mind you if Northampton can win at Liverpool anything is possible!
