Does that idiot even realise if they were within a few points of the title going into the last two games of the season then that kid wouldn't have had a sniff of the bench, let alone started as the main striker........ The only reason he got a start is because it was a 'nothing' match which...

I actually find that a good post and quite funny :-)

Re: City & FFP (continued) Barclay is dickhead. How can £7m be overpaying for a PL left back and, arguably, £24m overpaying for a class attacking midfielder when the scum just paid £37m for one.

Re: City & FFP (continued) If we end up paying the fine I think Sheikh Mansour should turn up at EUFA HQ with a fleet of armoured trucks and £50m euros in 10c coins. Just park up the trucks and hand over the keys......... ;-)

Re: City & FFP (continued) Agreed, weird. How can you have different entry criteria for teams entering the same competition. Surely, the fact that Monaco and Liverpool are NOT getting assessed for FFP is discriminatory?

Re: City & FFP (continued) They are setting an interesting precedent here. If the fine for failing to meet FFP is 50% of the alleged overspend then that could seriously cripple any other club wanting to invest by producing a CL quality team and all the other clubs (which are hardly getting a...

Wednesday this week, Sunderland vs. West Brom. Sunderland and West Brom each only need a point to be mathematically safe and ensure Norwich are relegated. Anyone think we might see the most boring game ever in the PL on Wednesday night?

Pity about the other 9 players in the side - obviously Lee Sharp forgot about that :D

That's some major purchasing they have to do in summer Vidic, Evra, Giggs, they need a backup LB and RB and they could do with a class midfielder. Not much change there from £150m if they sign top class talent

Moyes is going to be sacked?

That is it definitely sorted then, mata for defensive midfield............. Chortle....

Was going to point that out also. I expect them to go for a 4231 with mata unless moves is brain dead. That means they need to keep Fellaini and carrick as holding midfielders - so add £20m to their total..........

Much as I'd like to see them disappear into the championship or even lower I doubt that will happen. They've still got a few top players and even with how much we're taking the piss out of them their squad is still comfortably better than 50% of the teams in the PL. If Agent Glazer opens the...

It goes to show what they need to spend on a per player basis to get their team up to scratch. I think they need at least another 3-4 players AS A MINIMUM, which is going to rush them £120 -£160m.

Comment on local lunchtime news, I live in the northeast. Something on the lines of "Sunderland fans are travelling to their league cup semi final second leg against the"once-mighty Manchester United"<br /><br />-- Wed Jan 22, 2014 4:32 pm --<br /><br />Comment on local lunchtime news, I live...

Agreed, it's going to cost them >£150m easily and what people don't take into account is actually buying the right players. So far, if not actually wasted, then close to it over the last few seasons (since 2010-11) on the following players who either aren't CL quality or just can't function in...

The fun thing is they could lose Shrek for relatively peanuts - or they pay him an astronomical wage. RVP will likely get pissed if that happens and I can see a queue of players wanting bigger contracts also if that happens! If RVP is going back to his perma-crocked ways and Shrek goes they are...

Ignoring clubs in mickey mouse leagues (including Scotland) only 3 teams have ever achieved a 'major' quadruple Barcelona 2009-10, Porto 2010-11 and Bayern 2012-13 (Santos, Sao Paulo and Galatasary have also managed it plus some mickey mouse sides). Celtic managed 5 in 1966-67. So in the...

I'll be surprised if the rags don't turn around a 2-1 deficit at Trafford especially if away goals count. Hopefully they won't make it though!!!!!!!

It's a repeat of the summer with Fabregas - standard tired old excuse to be trotted out "We tried really hard but the calibre of players we need weren't available" instead of the truth "We made some bullshit offer just so it would look like we were trying to spend money we don't have". They can...
