Whoever printed that needs a lie down. He beat Pards 3-1, 4-1 and 1-0 while he was at West Ham aswell as 1-0 when he was at Charlton and of course the 3-0 at The Bridge last season.

Only need 5 these days, furthermore the club are getting allocated 40 medals that they can distribute how they see fit, there's even talk of RLC getting his mits on one.

That's what I think infact ill go one step further and say it's Messi then Ronaldo, Suarez, Hazard.What the later two lack in goals compared to CR they make up for in general play, where as every time I see Ronaldo play his general play is at times diabolical, some of his decision making can border on brainless, he is basically an extreme goal poacher. Messi on the other hand scores the goals to keep up with Ronaldo and is 100x better in general play, in reality like you said Messi vs Ronaldo shouldn't even be debatable.

In two days time he could have won more PL title's than Gerrard

He almost certainly will be number 1, furthermore in Paris it's an easy commute back to London on the Euro star or even plane so he won't have to uproot his family.

There's a difference between putting them in their place and bullying. If someone got caught pulling the stunts Pearson does in a normal work place they would be sacked on the spot.

From what I have heard from a couple of people that meet him Mourinho the person is one of the most humble people you can meet. Infact watching his interviews when the subjects get on to personal stuff and general life, it's actually quite clear to see, all the acting up is basically his football persona and nothing like what he is outside of sport. I remember rival fans use to think Drogba was a prick just because he use to throw himself about a bit on the pitch, until he did something no body could ignore re building the hospital, maybe one day the penny will drop for them with Mou too.

He called a reporter a prick a few weeks back and also told one of his own supporter's to "fuck off and die" in the game vs Liverpool in the winter. It certainly puts Mourinhos supposed cuntishness into perspective, or anyone's for that matter.

The page has attracted numerous Facebook trolls who make Bushman look like Peace, one time someone posted "Torres is better than Costa" and got over 100 likes Thankfully none of them have found their way here just yet.

Don't even joke about that.

Don't be so sure on the Gerrard guard of honour, I'd say it's almost certain Brendan will let him off the hook and "rest" him.

He has the talent but as you alluded to seems to want too much time on the ball, I think he has had a bit of a culture shock in England but I hope it can be ironed out in the summer, although a complete different position I remember Evra looking horrible in his first 6 month's at United but he worked out ok. If he's still playing like this come January then cut our looses and get rid (or get rid off the competition, make up excuses and build the team around him in the hope he comes good )

It can give them the taste of what it would be like playing in the first team and I think Mou thinks that too which is why he has spread the appearances around with the youth player's instead of putting his eggs in one basket. Also I do think he is genuine when he said he wants to bring the player's through, take against Marinbor, the best short term solution would have been to give Salah the 20 minutes to build up his match fitness but instead gave the time to Solanke.

Was he "given" them? Wikins came out and said Ancelotti wanted Torres infact he nearly came the summer before he actually did. You are always vocal in your critiscm about Mous tactics and I respect your opinion even if I couldn't disagree more but then surely you should be critical of Ancelotti in the second season, some of his tactical decisions were criminal and surely such an experienced manager could see the danger of naming lineups in the presser?

He completely changed the game with his tactical switch at half time when most manager's would do fuck all and hope it worked itself out. Pragmatism >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Purism Period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is he tho? Azpi has been nothing short of brilliant LB from a defensive point of view, and I think his supposed lack of attacking game is more down to instructions/team set up than anything else, he has actually had his moment's when he has ventured forward, prime example being his involvement in Diego Costa's winner at Anfield. In hindsight it would probably have been wiser to save the £16m and give Ryan the Felipe Luis role, but im yet to be convinced he is a better option than Azpi, also worth noting Ivanovic is slated a lot on here for letting crosses into the box but what went largely unnoticed is Bertrand was even more guilty of that. Having said that if we sign Cresswell in the summer then it would have been pointless selling Bertrand unless he really didn't want to be back up.

And the thing about last season's Liverpool is they completely neglected defending, last time I checked defending was an important part of the game, so isn't neglecting that 'anti football' aswell? Also Agger, Skrtel, Johnson, Mingolet performed like clowns all season, if they were rewarded with a PL medal it would have sent out all the wrong messages. I mean imagine Mingolet in the elite group of title winning number 1s? Barthez in there is bad enough, but Mingolet joining would have really took the piss.

As appealing as winning it vs Liverpool sounds id rather get it done then leave it to chance. If we end up dropping point's vs Liverpool we would then go to The Hathorns needing 3 point's and Tony Pulis sides in their back yard make me incredibly nervous.

No, we should never throw games no matter what. If we had City at the back end of last season I would still want us to win even if it meant handing that scum the title. I want us to go out and smash Liverpool and if that means handing United top 4 then so be it.

This game almost had the same feel to the game at this stage vs Arsenal in 2005 which also ended 0-0, all be it at The Bridge last time. Content with a draw that basically wiped out any remote chance of being caught but also meant we can't win the title the following game.

Yeah that's fair enough, about the cut off point people are classed as 'young people' until they are 26 In this country, I can only assume the PFA go by similar guidelines.

Im a bit annoyed he didn't get YPOTY aswell. Not meaning to sound greedy but the best player in the list should get it and he is the best player in both. But at least he got the main one, I was convinced they were gunna find a way to give it to Kane or even Sanchez.

You said "a big fuck you to the academy", Bertrand was 24 when Mou returned.

The trophy is always presented on the last home game unless you don't win it until the last day and you're away from home. So for example if we won on the last day last year we would have lifted it in Cardiff.

Bertrand and Azpilicueta are the same age, unless you are suggesting Mou choose the latter because he has an illogical hate for player's that came through academy.
