Tevez? He is doing himself no favours. I wonder if he is all there? MUFC getting 20 million quid to get rid of him seems like damn good business in hindsight.

MUFC leaking goals in the CL. Sir Alex started the first 5 games with much the same players, the trouble seemed to start mostly when he started the squad rotation recently .
I dunno about this De Gea character, he pulls off some amazing saves sometimes, then looks way out of his depth at other times.

No favours at all, and City want 50M for him now and I think there's only a few clubs that would pay 50M for a player that used to be a goal machine *cough*.

Utd was quite funny, 2 goals in 2 minutes (really soft too I heard) then 3-2 down and facing a home defeat, luckily the injury time fairy was kind to them yet again. Apparently De Gea was very lucky that a ridiculous shot from just inside their own half went wide as he wouldn't have got to it.

They are obviously hoping that Mancini might agree, just to p155 off Tevez, to also send a message to the rest of the team and give Mancini the last laugh. He's under contract so he has to go where they send him and if I was Mancini, that ugly fker would be at the Ryanair check in desk at Manchester Airport right fkn now.

That is really funny. good to see a laugh finally be produced by what has been nothing but a bad joke thus far.

The Sheik might step in and offer him a loan spell in the UAE, then push him out of the helicopter somewhere around where the seals dumped Osama.

The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.

I'm a starter - especially because it's against Adelaide (Mrs Tofu's home town).

I'd love to, I will start swimming now.

As for current news in soccer.

So after conceding more goals at the start of this season than I thought possible, and after Arsene has said that Arsenal do not need a defensive coach, we still continue our horrible form in the league.

Thanks Arsene, thanks board. You guys are doing a great job.

Pat Rice isn't the only one who wears rose tinted glasses, so it seems.

Behind them in spirit you mean? It's just I don't remember seeing you at North Harbour in the pissing rain once Lead! :) I liked going to the Knights games, they were so bad it was funny but we had a great bunch of guys from the UK who just adapted footy chants from back home to suit them. For instance, when playing Perth "Small town in Scotland, you're just small town in Scotland...small town in Scotlaaaaaand, you're just small town in Scotland.

good times in Block 5 :)

When Herbert came in they started winning but it was all too late.

Anyway, as for the Phoenix I can't make it, as I will be in Oz.

Haha, pitty he is banned for the weekend, otherwise he might have been able to hit a patch of form, instead of hit a patch of the stands like he has been doing.

The Arsenal game last night/ this morning was so boring. Very happy that we got the win though, as it did not look like we would at all, even though Marseille was there for the taking.

This was funny, this player Yoav Ziv was integral in the sending off of Cameron Jerome, the crowd's boos turned to cheers after this incident.

So if Arsenal were to win tonight (could easily go either way) then we will only be 2 points behind Liverpool.

Considering the amount that they have spent on their squad, and how Arsenal were tipped to get relegated this season (lol), I think that's pretty good. :P
