Special Juan

Robben was injured quite a lot, he also had a parrot on his shoulder in his father 24/7, it made sense to sell him and as we have proved before we will not stand in the way of unhappy players if it meets the financial needs of the club and the player is surplus to requirements. Mata didn't suite what Jose wanted, we sold him, now whilst people argued back and forth who was right and wrong in the build up to the sale, who is looking fruitful now? I know, but it's up to you to make your own assumptions on it.

Respect.

Terry being out is a slight worry but it isn't as if we are on the bones of our arse. Luiz is more than capable of coming in, and it should be him as it was against Newcastle. Barring Ramires next to Matic the team should be the same as Newcastle. The gap can be four, that is enough motivation for us to win this.

That's that then.

All that is correct, there is room for improvement definitely. Jose will make sure what he needs to up his game and it will come to fruition. His work rate right now is phenomenal, his distribution and link up play is also very, very good. Right now Willian is a proper team player, he is doing everything asked of him and for the shifts he is putting in he is nigh on un-droppable.

Tears man, tears.

Throwing Torres straight in is a risk, not just risk for fitness terms but a risk because it puts out of joint what has become a fruitful attacking force with Eto'o playing a pivotal part.

every game is huge now, we have great momentum with us and not only that players like Hazard are peaking. Game by game and all will be good.

Good old FA never fail to make you laugh, absolute fucking toss pots.

And Eto'o has been very good too.

I didn't see that, but yeah makes sense.

This line up for me, then if, if, we get a comfortable lead then change it.

If they hadn't signed Mata the United fans would be climbing over seats to get at Moyes, this signing gave him the reprieve he needed, well for a short while.

Fergie will be walking down the stairs to take back his seat when they get turned over by Arsenal on Wednesday.

They need a serious cash injection into that team, possibly more than what Spurs spent last summer, and following that will be a transition period. Right now they are just woeful which sits alongside some very average players.

'I'm happy in life, I'm happy with my football and I'm happy at this club. I am in good form now, lots of nice things are happening and I hope to continue like this.'

Also, not sure if mentioned but once again the donkey work of Willian was a joy. He not only pressed and harried players but his work off the ball, pulling defenders around the field and his distribution was superb. That second was brilliant, absolute top class and as soon as we where on our own 18 yard line I said to my lad "Breaks on" the ball from Luiz was excellent and the speed we swept forward was a joy. We are a joy to watch right now. I was watching goals on Sunday yesterday and a Newcastle fan tweeted in "It was a joy to watch Hazard yesterday, he was un-playable"

Arsenal will tear United a new one this week.

He does put in a real shift, whether it be chasing down or creating. It's all we have ever asked of a striker, just work hard.

Celebration for fuck all.

I'm well over him, just laughing like fuck at the shit he's joined.

He deserves a fucking medal going there.

Classic this thread.

Poor lad.
