True football ability as far as I'm concerned. Watching him play, how can that be cheating? That's natural ability.

Read my explanation. You took it out of context.

Fair enough.

What's with the Sturridge negativity all of a sudden anyway? So he's missed a few chances, he's our second top-goal scorer and he'll keep having shots on target because of the direct approach he has. One thing you can't doubt about Danny is he will quickly find a goal, even if he hits bad form because he's still got attributes that'll allow him to find space for himself.

Defoe will not make the squad. Not with the way Redknapp keeps him on the bench, in favour of Saha

I was starting to think I was the only one that saw this.

I don't. I'm very sceptical about this because it's simply blown up far too quickly. I've never seen anything like it. While I respect the cause to raise awareness about Kony, it just seems to me there's so much more to it than meets the eye. It's just another reason for the US to impose its colonial ways upon the world. AFRICOM's their attempt that, despite being rebuffed by most governments they still believe they have a right to police the world. Convenient how they've know about him for 20-years but choose to 'strike' the same year Uganda find 2.5 million barrels of oil.

I wrote an article on what I believe is the real motive, if you'd like to read it: http://articulateramblings.wordpress.com/2012/03/07/joseph-kony-colonialism-in-disguise/

A 'council of Europe' committee has suggested UEFA should prohibit the City-Etihad deal as well as Real Madrid selling their training ground. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1032211/report-highlights-possible-financial-fair-play-circumvention?cc=5739

Effort mate, effort.

Hahaha imagine if it did happen though..

Oh lord. Even Szcz- is having a laugh at as.. This is beyond embarrassing now.

We're a club in a mess though, he'll have obviously taken notice of that.

It'll be a reality, we're a selling club.

LMAO

I do notice these things, any persons would be blind to. His movement is better, he provides good passes and shows intelligence when he's not thinking about scoring. For this we can say his overall play has improved since last January. The thing is though, we need a striker in him to come out, we can't move his position (that would not work well for his confidence) so the only option is to drop him. Drogba, Torres, Lukaku all compete for that position, under Di Matteo the latter might get more chances now and Torres has to score goals to justify his place in the squad. I know service is still the issue, but Torres has issues that go beyond service. Psychologically he's not right in front of goal, he's like a child who panics when he's one and one and when he's finally made his decision he'll either miss/allow the ball to be defended away. His assists have been good this season, I'll always recall that beautiful cross for Mata v. United. He's a goal scorer, and those goal scoring instincts aren't with him.

You can't 'suggest' penalty takers. The taker must be 100% confident to do so, ideally they shouldn't be selected out of a pool the manager should ask (one-on-one) if said person wants that role. Torres was well within his rights to say 'no', if Mata was not confident it should've been given to the next assigned person.

Not in favour of Hoddle as long-term.. He's been out the game too long. I'd really like Lowe, if he was truly interested.

The cause is great, well done Invisible Children. However, I'm not in favour of US military action. I'm still trying to debate if this is propaganda or a cause that's still retained its purity.

It did make me uncomfortable. At the same time.. Perhaps we'll see some positivity in our play now. I don't like what it's at the expense of, but this is football.

How was that by the way? A lot of people were talking about it.

He definitely comes across as the type that will not go to a team that'll be in a rebuilding phase like ours, even if we did get CL football I think. Arsenal should be favourites, but let's be honest.. They're not paying £30mil.

LOL forget Hazard, I'm sure he's City's now.
