Sir Mikel OBE

He and Suarez really are a class apart. To think we almost had him

Good signing.

Was he full of energy when he looked older than Xavi in the confederatios cup final? Amazing energy all right. Was so amazing watching the striker put more a shift in than him when we didnt have the ball

To be fair there was no reason for a defensive mid to play today. Everybody was behind the ball.

Ivanovic crossing back.

This has been poor.

You didnt have to read the articles, you could have just asked me. Silva is a much better player than him. Silva also is a much better player for Spain.

His price is going to be insane.

I'm watching Crystal Palace(dont ask) how do Arsenal look? Southampton taking it to them?

I didnt even know he was playing until he came up injured. Everton really not up for it today. Hope the injury isnt too bad.

Sturridge is a beast. He must start in Brazil.

Mata in front of old ass giggs. They will let in at least a goal today. Whether that is enough remains to be seen.

Clearly onside there.

Ramires-Matic pivot coming?

This has been some great football.

Ashley REALLY wants his starting spot back

Just wanting to play isnt a good enough mentality for this club IMO. He should want to play at the highest level. Mourinho, IMO, was pushing him to become a better footballer. He's no old man. At 25 he shouldnt be past the age of learning, and adapting, his game. As our best player(a statement many people believe) he should have had more than half a season's worth of fight in him for our club. There is no question in my mind that Mata has more than enough quality to work in a mourinho system. It comes down to the simple question of "Did he want it?" though

Considering he's a championship footballer at best I think he is punching well within his weight with an actress like Brooke

Less than half a season before he left. If this was April and this was the case no argument could be made for leaving, but he got more than enough games for this point in time.

If he was special he would have stayed and fought for his place.

Looks like Moses of Old today.

There isn't a single player in our senior squad who couldn't be more elsewhere than a squad player here. Our two time player of the year should show more fight than what he did. It isn't even about being fancied. Azpilicueta wasn't fancied at first and fought his way into our squad

I know that from the shit they have been getting recently while being constant professionals.

There was no slaughter on here. There were a few people questioning it, and dozens or so mata minions saying: "everyone would do it" like it was no biggie. If he didn't want to fight to get off the bench then he is weak.
