Huge cover by catalan Sport:for them ,Van Persie wants to leave Manchester United after fall out with Moyes, and Barcelona planning a move

If there´s even a whiff of truth in that he´ll have his head turned and be offski - a dream move for him

Well my take on the rag demise is that its all there own fault because they put all the eggs in one basket with GPC he controlled all the club from top to bottom so when he left there is no structure left clubs like barca real and Munich have it so when a manager leaves its easier to carry on successfully playing, something we are trying to do, anyway long may it carry on.

gpc`s fault, he let the core of his team get old, and played the glazers game by not spending on quality new young players

Ozil is top of assists league in the Premiership, but Silva creates a lot more chances

Was talking about over the last few years and Ozil is still adapting to the league and has been this good already. He has not even had a preseason with the team. As you said the confidence and the fear factor is equally as big as his performance. It was a signal of intent from Arsenal and gave all their young players the belief they can compete for the major trophies. Facing Ozil also means the other Arsenal players get more space, because everyone has to put that extra attention.

was it the little boy inside him told you

No it was from comments he made and things many journalist have said.

oh journalist, it must be true then

I think Supercrystal7 has put forward a pretty good justification of his comments, and displayed a good understanding of the methods of Real Madrid over the years. Time to stop calling him out over this issue.

Being Mickeys, I thought you all had that legendary sense of humour (see Stan Boardman!) and would appreciate a spot of cockney/Asian/Irish/West Country wit aimed in your direction!

Poor Pete Spencer's looking shellshocked here even though he claimed to be a Bury fan on the one, futile, occasion when I met him!

http://www.manchestereveningnews.co...chester-united-crisis-video-reaction-6383162#

This looks like a dispassionate interviewer, a passionate fan, and a kid running about in the background. Spencer looks very much like a disaffected rag here, although he does manage to avoid referring to United as 'we'.

I would doubt his credentials as a Bury fan going off this. Maybe the Bury tag is like rag referees Mason and that guy from Wythenshawe (Taylor is it?) claiming allegiance to lower league teams so that they don't jeopardise their chances of glory fixtures at OT.

Maybe Spencer was originally a Bury fan but his rag credentials are mightily impressive. I've heard him on Talkshite referring to the rags as 'we' as well as being completely negative towards City. As he gets his guest gigs in his capacity as sports editor of the Manchester Evening News it's understandable that any neutrals listening would assume he's actually being objective and truthful.

oh journalist, it must be true then

Jouranlist, Madrid's propaganda paper, Moyes, comments from team mates and just my general observation of the situation. Moyes then backs up his claim by playing Rooney where Ozil would have wanted to play. If you don't want to believe it then don't, though I find the evidence a bit overwhelming. There is no point going over it again and again.

"We weren't close to buying him but something was mooted a little bit before that," Moyes said. "We didn't need that position at the time. I didn't even say it was an interest, it was put to us and it was just something at the time we didn't need.

"We had Shinji Kagawa and Wayne Rooney and people of a similar ilk so it wasn't quite what we required at that time. We were looking at different positions."
