Howay

I've no idea how Chiles is a multi millionaire from doing presenting. He's a fucking joke and I'm yet to meet anyone that thinks he's areet. That world cup (2006?) when he wore the half Croatia, half England shirt was cringeworthy and he's kept getting pay rises since then.

The daft American commentator here is yelling that it was a ploy by Athletico Aye they'd waste one of 3 subs in one of the clubs most important games to try and cause the Real defence a quick re-think to change and defend Adrian.

The money they've spent and experience they have and all they manage is 1 shot on target after being on the back foot for nearly the whole game. Shame for Derby just lacked that bit of class up front, I thought that Dawkins should have scored when he was about 3 yards out.

That was QPR's only shot on target. Feel bad for Derby like, but QPR look far less likely to give us a kicking next season on that evidence.

Well that was undeserved

Agreed, really impressed by them tbh. Such a young side too, the lad from West Brom Thorne looks like a very good player.

Derby playing some tidy stuff so far.

Aye, I think Haidara would make them a comfortable profit if he was kept a bit longer but selling now wouldn't. Ant's earlier point about Haidara and Mbiwa possibly wanting to leave is a good one, I think they'd be mental to let them but it's very plausible that they do as honestly they've been dicked about (especially Haidara who is clearly better then the lad who's playing his position). We simply can't lose the amount of players that are being hinted at, we already don't seem to be making the fast moves in the market Pardew was hinting at as we're now 3 week or so away from the world cup and the only strong link we've had is a 20 year old 2nd division lad.

"stepping up" their pursuit of Hazard now too according to a few of the tabloids, Platini really showed them.

Aye Luiz is a liability in defence sometimes, seems much better in a midfield position where he can have a bit more time on the ball but PSG are a bit crowded there. Good for Brazil I guess having him and Silva together all the time, but 40m is a lot tbh.

Assisted one of the best goals I've ever seen live in all (The Shearer volley against Everton). End of an era

Can't understand the logic in trying to flog Mbiwa and Haidara, I agree with DK that he looks to be the best left back we have defensively. Mbiwa has struggled but hasn't had much of a chance really, shocking that they'd give up on a player who cost around 7m so quickly. It would just leave us with yet more holes to fill in a team that's already thin.

I read an excerpt from Bullard's new book and it had a bit about Chopra at Ipswich, said he owed 150 grand and some bloke come looking for him at training and was told to leave. After training the bloke grabbed Chopra by the neck and asked if he was Chopra and Chopra pointed to the teams left back Cresswell and goes "nah that's Chopra" What a cunt.

What a disgrace that picture is man, the hair on him. I'm glad it says it's a sample of his chaos army in the top corner, as it's more of a rabble than an army.

That 1 for us was against Sunderland mind.

Aye he's chatting shit like, Taylor is a local lad and gets probably more shite than Luque ever got. Like you say every fan base likes to see youth come through, but they still have to be good, Luque fails to take any blame for the fact he was fucking terrible while he played for us. He's also wrong when he says every Spaniard that comes here fails, Enrique did well. Colocinni and Jonas have both done well (I know they're Argentinian but they were both more suited to the Spanish style of playing that Luque refers too). Luque failed because he wasn't good enough to play his way and be effective or wasn't able to adapt. Some lads struggle with the transition but there's shit tonnes of Spanish lads that play in the lower leagues where it's far more the direct English style than in the Premiership, it's all about how well you can adapt and how hard you're willing to work. Of course coaching adds to it and will be vital for a lad as young as Perez, but Luque was at an age where the responsibility was on him a bit more. Colocinni and Enrique are perfect examples, they both looked abysmal when they first come and took stick, but they dug in worked hard, adapted and both become far better players, Luque in contrast bottled it.

He wanted to end his career at Barca yesterday, now he wants a guaranteed job for life at Man City, the blokes a total fucking loon.

Class.

http://talksport.com/football/exclusive-agent-reveals-toures-man-city-future-not-100-certain-and-hints-barcelona-move Wants more attention and it's not about the birthday cake as he can afford to buy everyone birthday cake. What a tart this bloke is moaning he doesn't get enough attention and one place he'd want to go is Barcelona? one of the only clubs in the world where he'd get substantially less attention. I really hope he's just agitating for a move away with all of this and they're not actually serious that he feels slighted because he isn't getting enough attention from his boss, otherwise when he retires he'll be similar to Leazes ranting away in pubs, except rather then telling people how right he was/is it'll be about how no one is giving him enough attention/respect.

The people on youtube comments reckon Porto were after him too, mind the same bloke also is in an argument about why would a player pick Newcastle over Porto and he's said Newcastle offered to pay far more over the release clause which makes no sense tbh, as then couldn't Porto just meet the clause and discuss with him anyway? anyway either way can't say I'm thrilled with the prospect of signing a Spanish second division player, I know he's only 20 and could develop well but, Pardew can't develop players and we don't have time to develop them anyway we need strikers that can walk in and perform right away.

The stuff just after the trial by combat. Good to know DK

I wonder if Mansour goes round wishing every one of his employees a happy birthday and shakes their hands, if he doesnt fuck knows how he still manages to run his businesses.

And the directors of every team have to come down to wish him a happy birthday and shake his hand, its just common decency.
