you look nice today!!

I actually don't care about him staying, i just don't want him to be first choice forward. His performances this season would be good enough for a Kalou lite role, just not first choice forward. If he wants that tag he should earn it and take on any competition we bring in. What better way to prove himself to the fans than to do to Falcao what Drogba did to Sheva? I find it embarrassing that we have had top forwards as good as whoring themself's to us yet we are stuck with a more expensive Kalou up front.

We need a Goalscorer ! In other news David Cameron is the Prime Minister of England.

He was played near enough non stop for the middle third of last season, he got dropped when his performances dipped, i wish that would get done to his fellow blonde countryman.

If your talking about their overall career's then yes, but in a Chelsea shirt? hhahaahahahahahahahahaha

What we also should realize is Roman's name is not Daniel Levy, if one of those maestro's get sold for a high price, the money will be reinvested straight back into the team, so either way we don't have any serious worries.

To be honest for the first six month's the main excuses were actually valid, but all of them were gone that summer (of 2011) including the service one (you can't complain about service when Juan Mata is behind you). The latter is unlikely but former is impossible, Torres is finished, no magic move back to Liverpool will change that.

We have had more stability than Arsenal. How many captains have they had since we appointed John Terry back in 2004? We have had (and stil do have) a dedicated and ambitious owner and have for the last decade, do Arsenal fans know who their owner's are? Stability does not begin and end in the manager dugout. Maybe it can be irritating constant manager changes, but lets be honest all of those sackings apart from Mourinho have turned out to be the right thing for this club.

Let them develop on loan, as someone mentioned we lack experience this term, the 3 i mentioned could have helped towards that.

I remember saying till i was blue in the face during the summer that Malouda, Meireles and Benayoun should have been kept for squad depth.

Ossie will be turning in his grave at what damage is being done to his number. Didier and Hasselbaink, although they won't admit this publicly, must be bewildered, they both had to work hard to be number 1 forward and have to see someone else get it because they throw a sulk.

Bring in two new forward's in January, get them to compete with Danny. Keep Torres until the summer and if he wants his place back in the team he can battle and prove it on merit. He owes us that at-least.

I wasn't saying the Dutchman doesn't deserve any credit, he does, i would actually say his teams from 04-06 were more exciting than the Barca side today. Does Pep deserve all the credit for Barca's success and philosophy? no, does he deserve all the credit for their success under his management? 100% Rijkaard had his success in his spell (bar the last season) that he deserves the utmost praise for but he had nothing to do with the dynasty Pep built. When Pep took over Messi was a young talent but any comparison's to Maradona where laughed off. Iniesta and Xavi were class midfielder's but not to the level they are today infact both were on the bench in the 2006 CL final. The reason there thought off so highly is for one reason Pep's management.

Barcelona were a mess in the last season of Rijkaard, they were 3rd 10 points behind now relegated Villareal and 20 behind Champions Madrid and went into a Champions League semi final overwhelming underdogs, something that would never have happened under Pep. Pep did so much for Barca as his time as manager, he may not have promoted Iniesta, Xavi and Messi but he took them up a few levels to what they are today, can you honestly say you saw Iniesta and Xavi as world class and Messi as potentially better than Maradona back in 2008? The myth that Pep fell lucky is boring and untrue, don't get me wrong i want us to stick with RDM but Pep is an absolute genius who doesn't get half the credit he deserves because of some boring little myth.

Liverpool were terrible right up until their goal, which swung the momentum and naturally they finished stronger because of the buzz but the first 70 minutes they were utterly terrible, worst away display at The Bridge since Stoke 7-0. They are a very average side and the fans seem to be optimistic about Rodgers long term but to me they seem to be taking alleyways full of dead ends.

Compared to what they could have been.

Any news on the injury front?

Nani and Anderson had stupidly high ceiling's when they signed for United, especially the latter, if they both reached their full potential United would have been stupidly good.

Transfers im happy enough letting the board have a major say, you only need to look at Benitez and Dalglish to see what can go wrong giving a manager total control. Tactics? you seriously think Roman has a say in that? or selecting the team?

But if Fergie is so great with developing young players, then shouldn't he have got the best out of atleast Nani? The point im trying to make is their is no guarantee Fergie will get Hazard performing like a world beater (like the op suggested) he has had nuemrous fuck up's when it comes to young players. For one Ronaldo there's a group like Kleberson, Bebe, Anderson, Rossi and Pique (the latter two have came good since but at United they weren't great atall).

Not true, Tottenham were terrible at Old Trafford and still won, we need to stop focusing on the Manchester two this term, we won't cut the 25 points gap in one go, we need to focus on keeping Arsenal and Spurs at arms length.

Ferguson is not as great with young players as we are lead on to believe, Anderson and Nani had ridiculous potential as teenagers and Fergie ruined them.

Don't get me wrong i want us to stick with RDM too, but Pep is the reason those players are known as those things. Xavi and Iniesta were in and out of the team under Rijkaard and Messi, while we could all see his talent under the Dutchman, who could forsee him developing as well as he has?

Ironic considering your username.
