I guarantee if we lose today and then beat united at home on Sunday everybody will forget how bad our manager actually is. He managed to do the same when we played city.

To be honest? None of them. Our club is too hungry for success and unfortunately doesn't have the time or patience to give a young bloke a go. We will just keep loaning them out until we unearth the next Ronaldo or Messi. Until then, we will just keep buying mercenaries, paying overs for them and giving them ridiculous salaries.

Pretty chuffed about this signing. saw an interview with him today and he carries himself well. I think this is very smart piece of business from the club. He is extremely accurate and that is something we have lacked in his position for years. He admitted that he lacks speed but that is something he is working on.

Not looking forward to this. Sunday night games against the top four haven't been good to us since 2010. We will know a lot after this game.

Its a tough situation. Do we let him go to Manchester and guarentee we won't be lifting a title for a long time? Do we give up on the Avb "project"? At the moment, Burkina Faso have more chance of winning the world cup then we look like scoring from open play. Or do we bring in Mourinho, give him the freedom he never got and AVB has and let him build the dynasty we have been craving since we watched fergie turn manure into one of the most successful clubs in the world?

We are missing self belief. That's all. We have the players, they just don't believe in themselves.

To any of the Australian members. I read an article in the Daily Telegraph today saying the game will be on FoxSports1 at 11:00pm. Can anybody confirm this? My listing has the Cricket on at that time. could be a viewers choice game. I just find it odd as the FA-Cup has never been aired on Foxsports.

Great read! John is an absolute legend and he deserves all the accolades he gets. Like i always say, If we had 11 players on the field with the heart of JT, we would be unbeatable..

Still think we would be dumb to let him go.

I can understand your point, but you have to understand where I'm coming from. By the club making it a rule not to sign players over 30 on more then a 1 year extension is exactly the point I'm trying to make. Players like Drogba, Lampard, Terry, Cole and Essien are either over 30, or near it. They are the back bone of our squad and frankly, without them we would be in a worse place then we are now. So by agreeing with the club, you wouldn't have signed a player over 30 if he wasn't performing? Right?? OK now lets rewind to 08-09. Drogba 30, has without a doubt the worst start to a season of his carrier. Injured, falling out with the manager and becoming unsettled. He plays a handful of games off the bench and gets suspended in his first game back. Then gets injured again and isn't seen for a while. It's now January 09 and he has only scored 3 goals so far. What do you do? Inter wanted him, Real wanted him and so did Arsenal. Should we let him go? He's over 30!! If you had done that you would have pretty much sold the best player from the rest of the 08-09 till the start of the 10-11 season scoring nearly 60 goals in that time including the winner vs Arsenal in the Fa Cup Semi Final The winner Vs Everton in the Final and our highest goal scorer in the 09-10 season. I understand this is all in the past and that your saying he's not the same, but if the club are to stick by this rule and not be able to make an exception for a certain player then we are pretty much screwed. We need these guys at the club just as much as United need Giggs, Scholes, Ferdinand and and up until recently, Neville. With 11 young blokes on the pitch we will become nothing but another Arsenal. We need leaders and experience to lead the way and give the young guys confidence and support.

Couldn't disagree more! Drogba has stated his desire to stay at the club and rejected other offers in the past to sign on with us. He wore his heart on his sleeve in nearly every season till Torres arrived. How would you feel if you where once the main striker at a club who has won countless trophies, scored dozens of important goals and then told your getting replaced by the guy from Liverpool who has won fuck-all? On top of that, not being offered the contract you deserve and being told your free to look elsewhere. What would this do for your confidence? Would you be knocking them in left, right and centre?? Also, what would this be doing for the players around him? Seeing how such a loyal player is being treated would surely be playing on the minds of the others reaching there 30's. We all know what Drogba is like, he needs to feel appreciated. At the moment, most of you guys are ready to throw him on the scrap heap. I for one think he has plenty of goals left in him. It's a shame we won't realize that until he's scoring them for someone else and where still stuck with our lemon.

I miss Drogba.....

Now with Lamps out i reckon we are going to struggle against these grubs. I hope Luiz doesn't accidently snaps Bartons ankle.

Another half arse performance from our "superstar athlete's". FFS where is the urgency?!?! 5 mins to go and Ramires is playing with the ball inside our own half. Please just kill me now so i don't have to watch us finish below Spurs...

Good call Ulster.. I reckon your 100% right!

Henrique, If it was up to you, you would sack every player, manager and assistant! The way you carry on about transfers just shows how much you know about football. You think the sun shines out of the sewers of Brazil. Frankly if there was a button to ignore you completely, i would have pushed it when you joined this forum.

They will probably put Ash on the highest possible floor with not enough bed sheets to make a window escape.

Nice, your a glory hunting imbecile..

So you were happy that our Captain was injured?? Good Onya Dickhead.. Go support Manchester City if it's glory you seek at any cost..

0-3. Our away form has been better then our home form. This should be a comfortable win. But who knows??

People around here become psychotic when we are losing! This wouldn't even be a topic if we were top of the league! It's all Kalou's fault! Honestly, everybody relax! It's not worth It..

Apart from his defense, This bloke can actually score from a set peice! Welcome Gary...

Bout time we became a club that's not offering fucked up wages to tempt players. Let em go to City and warm the bench..

Thats fucked up.. May she rest in peace.

Will this be broadcast anywhere?
