David Villa has finally been confirmed as ruled out of the Euros. Wank. I don't want Spain to win it, but I want all the best players there. It's a shame when massive players miss out on the summer tournaments. I can't believe he's already 30. With all the great young players coming through at Barca and Bilbao, he might not even be in the squad for the next Euros, as he'll be 34 then.

Would have been a great opportunity for the FA to experiment with their stupid idea of playing Premiership games abroad. Sure Chelsea and Man City fans wouldn't have given much of a fuck. It's little more than a friendly. Play it at the fucking Giants Stadium or something.

An opportunity to experiment with a shit idea that hopefully never returns to anyone's thoughts.

Villa park is one of the traditional grounds used by the FA. Nicely between Manchester and London as well. It's not strange decision at all really.

They tried to sign Faddy in January on the grounds it would give him a chance to get fit and put himself in the window.

It was actually in the summer, and by all accounts if what I hear is correct (which it is) it was a real possibility for a week or so. No chance of it happening now, though.

We also tried to get Maguire back on loan in January but he wasn't interested in the slightest. There's no reason why he won't get another pop in the Championship after his successful spell at Portsmouth. Bristol City might fancy him given the Scottish connection.

So, Eden Hazard has agreed terms with 3 clubs, and now it's just a matter of picking which one he likes bestest, which he's gonna do after the 2 friendlies with Belgium. Is he better than David Silva? They essentially play the same position, so if he's got a firm head on his shoulders, he'd pick Chelsea or United, where he'll probably play every week. He's better than Malouda and Young respectively.

I'd still rather he went to City or Chelsea. United are fine in the winger department. They arguably 3 of the best wingers in the league, but the midfield is shite. If they are going to splurge £30million+ on one player, it should be a big, fuck off hard bastard of a midfielder.

To be honest, although I love the man more than any other man in the world, he'd probably be pretty ineffectual at The Dons. Obviously he'd be our best player by miles, but he'd probably get a bit bored quite quickly and his performances would suffer. Also, he's always injured, and you don't want to have your highest paid player out injured all the time.

Regardless, as Nef C pointed out, it's not even worth discussing as it will never happen. Maybe in 4-5 years.

So. Pogba's off. He's leaving because he wants first team opportunities. Daft cunt. I think he's got a much better chance of getting a head of Anderson, Cleverley, Fletcher and Carrick in the pecking order than Pirlo, Vidal and Marchisio. Scholes is in his last season and probably won't play more than 20-22 games next season. Anderson and Cleverley are made of glass and Fletcher probably won't return to full fitness and form. When did unproven 19 year olds become so impatient? Commanding to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world at 19 years old is mental. You have to earn it. He'll probably sit on the bench all season long next year too. Good move.

Did anyone see the documentary about Rangers tonight? If even half of what was reported is correct then it is astonishing. The best bit is no doubt the EBT's were set up by a porn producer, just classic!

Aye, MIH backing up Rangers' debt with money borrowed from the bank themselves. Insane. Guy did a great job on his investigations.
