didn't seem so wee when we spanked them 3-0 last season, eh

 

[Dubby]

"last season", United also lost 6-1 at home against Man City last season.

 

[Lee]

they also put 8 past your lot, I fail to see your point

 

[Zoro]

rip

also lol that red card shown to Nasri

 

[Zoro]

Kinda feeling bad for Newcastle. They managed to score 3 in Manchester and in Arsenal, but they failed to gain anything from it.

Definitely didn't deserve this (especially the loss against United, Arsenal scored seven times so I'm sure.

edit: on the other hand, Arsenal scored seven times so that one might be deserved.

i think we are 8 players off a good starting xi

anita / ben arfa / marveaux is a solid start

 

[Kinneas]

Newcastle pls :(
I stopped watching at 2-2 to go play a LoL game, come back and it's 7-3. What happened?

 

[Dubby]

Well to be fair Newcastle gave up at 5-3. I was about to go off on Gibbs if we didn't manage a win. Now we REALLY need Walcott to sign that contract.

despite nasri being a momentous cock end, what kind of girl's sport are we playing if that is a sending off?

Is Nuri Sahin injured or is his performance so awful that he isn't even considered a backup now?

i had to stare at AVBs face for 20 minutes to clear the horror out of my eyes

 

[phalanx]

i would like to see Neymar Messi and Ronaldo at united... but that won't happen :(
Strurridge is overpriced

and realistically we need a midfielder and cover for Evra... see if Everton will have a BOGOF on Baines and Fellaini ;)
and sell Nani and get Bale :P

 

[zpattack12]

Don't tell me that British media is lying to me, Wesley Sneijder to Liverpool!!!!

I like Sturridge, I really thought he could be a top prospect. He is fast, strong, and looks to be a natural finisher. He did really well at Bolton and again at Chelsea when he came back from his loan, but since Torres was signed Sturridge has been shunted out of the side to accomodate him. Being left out of the side is probably down to wanting to play the 50m man and also probably down to Sturridge's sulking, he's reported to have a pretty inflated sense of self worth so he won't like being left out. No matter though, I still think Sturridge could be a top player and while 12m isn't cheap it's at least a better deal than 40m for Downing and Henderson.
