Considering what happened last week and this game is going to be more than just a match, better hope the players don't do anything stupid and have to miss the Man City game because of suspension..

Bild is hardly reliable but to follow that up...

Depends on how you define 'joke' I guess.

Don't get your hopes too high, Patrick. Better have a contingency plan as to who do you want to play for after Chelsea...

Would be an understatement to say Roma are failing rather miserably in their quest to win the Serie A. Seven points behind Juventus now after another draw. Even the title race in Ligue 1 is becoming more interesting than the one in Italy. Lyon rampant in first place. Marseille and PSG inconsistent but close behind. Monaco slightly further back but have improved greatly after poor start.

Apparently, this leaflet was doing the rounds outside the stadium..

Where are those Spec Saver ads when you need them?

OMG! Seriously?! :lol:

On Youngsters, Opportunities, Frustration and Reality

You can't blame the man for being consistent, even when we're losing.

Starting to feel concerned about our defence of late. Never mind shipping 5 and 4 against Tottenham and Bradford respectively, even Watford and Newcastle gave us no end of problems till we got the goals. We have been making it too easy for teams to create chances against us and if we don't sort out the organization and discpline of the team defensively, things could go horibly wrong on Tuesday and next Saturday.

I guess the reason why people desperately want us to sell Schurrle now is because of the money Wolfsburg reportedly offered but that aside, I would keep him at least until the end of the season and offload Salah. After all, Salah has, arguably, played even worse and hardly made any impact. Schurrle, for all his issues right now, at least has the goal return factor on his side, if you know what I mean. As for Cuadrado, I do wonder, if we get him in, would Mourinho actually use him equally with Willian or consider him a squad player like Schurrle/Salah? Because if that's the case, then we might be sitting down here and talking about selling him this time next year due to his lack of impact.

Fletcher's contract with United is expiring this summer. So, West Ham will be getting him without having to pay anything - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/west-ham/11367946/Man-Utd-transfer-news-Darren-Fletcher-expected-to-leave-Old-Trafford-and-sign-for-West-Ham-United.html

From yesterday...

Blackpool only got the mention there because they shipped in 7 against Watford yesterday. That stat can give the wrong impression to people really.

Curious to know what is Squawka's definition of 'Defensive Errors'. It feels almost nonsense that Ivanovic is not high on that list.

Erm, we were talking about the 2013 FA Cup final between City and Wigan...

But they were still a Premier League team that season. Moreover, league status aside, losing 1-0 is still better than 2-4 after going 2-0 up...

Losing to a third tier side at HOME after being 2-0 up is certainly more embarrassing than losing 1-0 to a fellow Premier League side, regardless of the occasion.

CONSPIRACY THEORIST ALERT!!!

Should just cancel his loan deal with Milan and send him to somewhere he can develop. Milan are in a mess right now (no thanks to Galliani) and with Inzaghi being under pressure to achieve their targets this season (they haven't won a single league game in 2015), doubt he can afford to integrate young players into the first team when they desperately need the results on the pitch.

Hardly an opinion shared by everyone. Every team have encountered results like this down the year and unfortunately, it was our turn to suffer one against Bradford. Just gotta accept it and move on.

Yeah but it's still not exactly an excuse to treat players unfairly.
