Thought that was the case too till someone told me 2 days ago that it will only be taken into equation once they have played each other home and away, just like what haposano said above. Otherwise, they go by GD first.

Oh joy. Wanted to watch the game earlier and now it's going to be played on the same day we face West Brom.

Pardon me if I have a short term memory but has that happened before?

Title race in La Liga...

Looking through at some of the suggested teams, not sure why people want to break up the CB partnership of Terry and Cahill when they have been excellent together. And it would be unwise to rotate too much for this game - especially when we have played just 1 game this week(!) - when we can do so in the FA Cup next weekend, even if its against City. This league game has to be the main priority.

Nah. He's probably better when he's given the freedom to rotate positions and roam from one place to another behind the ST.

Looks like this thread will be flooded with posts about Mata every time United plays, never mind when he scores and/or assists only. So much for 'get over it'...

Think it was more of a case that he just wants to play and United are able to give him that. And yes, Mata's best position is in the No.10 position but by his own admission, he said he can play in any of the 3 positions behind the ST.

Any surprises? Mourinho has been playing down our title chances but since we went top of the table yesterday, the media wrote a piece saying Mourinho told the team he EXPECTS us to win the title. Go figure...

Regardless of the circumstances, I for one am not believing he's earning as high as 180k p/w wages here. Seems like a ridiculous figure reported by the English media and wanting to paint a picture that players joining us because of money. Moreover, I don't think the club are that silly to pay so much wages for one so young, especially when we bought Hazard at 21 y/o. Will only leave us in an unfavorable position if/when we negotiate a new contract.

Yup, saw that too but not believing it 100%. Maybe I'm being selective but more inclined to believe what was reported by the Belgian and/or French media of Hazard's wages considering they are more aware of what is happening with him when this move happened 2 years ago.

So you are basically saying he's earning way more than 110k p/w wages then?

That I believe is before the tax factor comes in. After tax, it's only about 100-110k p/w wages.

Yesterday's one is still funnier though.

Racism not behind Balotelli tears

As Mourinho once said (IIRC), finishing second is only good for losers.

Why bother putting in a release clause when without it, we can demand whatever we want for him (if/when it comes to this)?

This. Turnbull Bosingwa - Bouhlahrouz - Ben Haim - Bridge Geremi Tiago - Sidwell SWP - Di Santo - Sinclair

Hmmm, you're right. Didn't really realize that before. Current record stands at P7 W1 D5 L1 and they are the draw specialist in the league this season and the highest with 11.This is not in the league but West Brom did get KO by Palace in the FA Cup.

I don't know about that. Only saying what I've read from reports...
