They want to win all the competitions (what they say) but prioritised on the basis of how much money they are worth (what they don't say).Quote:

In fact that schedule is pretty much designed for it, allowing some rest for the game changers before Barcelona.
Chelsea's team will also be weaker in the fa cup than in the league games.
seriously
hazard got no bonus points again
seriously?
you don't get bonus points for being really good?
i see noon has more red arrows than a jubilee flypast. :)
couple of good moments but largely anonymous, i thought.Quote:

ramires also involved in the opponents penalty area a lot - but to no great effect.
once chelsea scored it was like the script had been torn up - city really floundering.
down to third in the sz league.Quote:

dumb fukking game
:(
strange goings on down in jackland
looks like swansea have fired the backroom staff and installed gary monk as part of the coaching team
wouldn't be at all surprised if laudrup is gone today
the board signed the incredibly average championship standard emnes and n'gog over his head by all accounts
super timing before the derby
:)
testing
Sky sources are reporting that Garry Monk is to become part of the coaching set-up at Swansea.
The news comes in the wake of speculation that manager Michael Laudrup's future at the club may be in doubt, Saturday's loss at West Ham having left the Swans just two points outside the relegation zone.
Laudrup is 4/7 favourite in Sky Bet's 'Next Premier League boss to leave' market and Monk's price to be the next manager of the club has been trimmed dramatically.
The 34-year-old defender is now 6/4 favourite with Paddy Power to be the next man to take charge at the Welsh side, following the news that he is set for a coaching role.

Swansea only 2 points off the relegation zone.....they've looked totally shit for the past few games too.
I see the noon has done his transfer....presume it's Janazajai to Mata.
i will of course be shouting on my Arse boys for the cleansheet.
:)
he doesn't seem to have any answers to their drop in form, does he?Quote:

First time I've ever heard "pathetic fallacy" come up in football commentary today.... Clark Carlisle during Fulham v Sheff utd
not sure what he was on about... pathetic crowd more like
it was raining though
magic of the cup (TM)

but there must be more to it than results
he hasn't been on good terms with the board since they banned his agent from the club
garry monk installed as interim manager
don't think he's ever coached before
very interested to see the response but i'd imagine the spanish contingent will want out asap
I'm not sure everyone shares your faith in a reborn united.Quote:

Isn't that massively off putting?
Weird that in the last three gws Januzaj has played 90 / 6 / 0 minutes and his price has gone up by 200k.
he's got it wrong again
i have neither bunted young januzaj nor purchased mata
if they carry on playing as shitily as they did against stoke, they'll need an injection of young belgian winger soon enough
Against whom they were going to be filling their boots according to joff.Quote:

Have to think Januzaj could start ahead of tumblin' Young this weekend.
i want to remove gerrard
he's lying so deep at the moment that he's never going to be effective
i brought him in for his penalties but injuries permitting, he'll be gone next week
