Gotcha! Don't tempt fate bitch. Otherwise that name 'Amels' will be thrown out of the window.

7 red cards in over 160 games is not that bad. What is Balotelli's record for that? And curious how many of those are straight red cards for Costa..

Apparently? Where's the proof Skippy??

That's such an understatement and you're making out as if he had lots of red cards before that.

Hilario has retired and is now a GK coach at the club.. http://instagram.com/p/rU4KQlwzEO/?modal=true

Premier League announces new rules for head injuries

If anyone is need of some laughter, read this season prediction from Charlie Nicholas... http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12090/9406480/charlie-nicholas-tips-arsenal-to-win-the-premier-league

Gosh people, if you are so eager to comment about Melanicus' attitude, then please, PM him about it and not derail this thread..

Had our non-HG quota been fine, I don't think Romeu would have gone out on loan but because the quota isn't fine, we needed to find a way to solve the issue and one of it was obviously to loan Romeu out. Of course, it could have been others like Van Ginkel but perhaps Mourinho believes he would be more useful to the team at this point.

Considering what has happened to Jones' development at United, not sure if Rodwell would have experienced things differently had he went to OT.

True and not to mention the narrowness of the formation. We suffered quite a bit under Ancelotti when he used his diamond system. But if the back 3 doesn't work, then I don't think it will take long for Van Gaal to change his system anyway.

United improving this season under a better manager is expected but they have done rather well in pre-season and are beginning to worry me a little. I know it's only pre-season and all but think they will put in a strong challenge for the Top 4(at the very least), if not possibly even the title especially if Van Gaal were to get a few more players in.

If he doesn't, then what are you gonna do?

He may be HG but there's no point in keeping him if we aren't going to use him especially when he's the sixth choice AM. The main issue with the squad now is settling the non-HG quota.

Yes. Clichy is considered as a HG player. http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/clubs/profile.squads.html/man-city

at putting Zabaleta as the second choice RB..

Really, he's not only deluded but a complete idiot as well. The amount of BS that comes out of his mouth is utterly pathetic!

Can't help but to feel annoyed whenever I read such views. It's almost ridiculous to say that a player will automatically or is likely to do better just because they have more creative players around them and will get "real service". If it's as black and white as that, then maybe we all should throw our names to the club and volunteer to play since things are so easy with these talents around. Also, people seem to have selective memory. While having the likes of Hazard, Schurrle, Oscar etc is better than having Malouda, Kalou etc, let's not forget we had won trophies with the latter group. To discredit in any way for what they did for the club is almost farcical!

If you compare Drogba with Lukaku and Torres, then of course, you could say he's better than the two. But in general, Drogba has passed his peak and is no longer the player he once was. He can give us a few good games here and there during the course of the season but don't be surprised if he frustrates more than pleases with his performances. What people seemed to have forgotten is that in the midst of his achievements in the Champions League three seasons ago is that Drogba was effective in the league. In fact, he has been ineffective in the league since the 2009/10 season. So, people really need to avoid having high expectations of him this season or otherwise, there's gonna be a lot of disappointment.

If that happens, then we all know who to ban..

Fixed.
