#bbcsalford pandering to Van Gaal's whinging about injuries http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34890727 Man Utd have 9 injuries, 2 of which are long term, at least 5 are back within the week, and the Rooney one improves them. For comparison Liverpool have 9 injuries, 7 long term, possibly 3 back within the week although one of them is Rossiter who isn't likely to play.
Have to say I am OUTRAGED about the coverage given on BBC Salford to some second generation Irish Tinker Clog Sparker/Cap Roller for winning one of the 4723 versions of the heavyweight-lardarse division of what used to be called boxing back in the day of Ali and Foreman simply because he's a Uniturd supporter who was put off his ale by Louis In The Sky With Diagonals' brand of hoofball for long enough to do the required training to beat an octogenarian Ukrainian (continues for 71 pages without punctuation).
Does it really matter? As long as Fellaini is fit, that's the tactical switch taken care of, just needs a starting 11and subs then
Spain's version of #bbcsalford http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34969098 Barcelona have complained that two ex-Real Madrid players suggested Neymar deserved to be kicked during commentary of this month's El Clasico game. Real substitute Isco was sent off for lashing out at forward Neymar in the 85th minute of his team's 4-0 defeat at the Bernabeu. Barca claim Manolo Sanchis and Poli Rincon "repeatedly justified the aggression" on Spanish radio. The club contacted a Spanish government group seeking to end violence in sport. "FC Barcelona believes these statements to be an incitement to violence and therefore ask for action from the anti-violence commission," the club said in a statement on their website. Barcelona claim former Real captain Sanchis said: "Neymar is going over the line, he isn't getting [hit] enough." Ex-Real striker Rincon was accused of saying: "If I am there, I hit him, there should be no doubt that I hit him; me and anyone else." Spanish authorities have been seeking to crack down on violence and verbal abuse in soccer since a Deportivo La Coruna fan was killed last year in organised fighting before a La Liga game at Atletico Madrid.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34970549 David Moyes keen for another opportunity to manage in Europe David Moyes would be open to managing another club in continental Europe, despite his first experience ending with his sacking from Real Sociedad. The former Everton manager, 52, was dismissed earlier this month a day short of his one-year anniversary at the Spanish La Liga club. Asked about coaching in other leagues, he told BBC Radio 5 live: "I'm open minded and Spain whetted my appetite. "If the right opportunities came up in the major leagues I'd be interested." When Moyes left Sociedad, the club were 16th and only above the relegation zone on goal difference. Of the 42 games he coached, he won 12 and lost 15. Despite a disappointing end to his tenure, Moyes said he enjoyed his experience in La Liga, which he believes has superior teams than those in the Premier League. "I think the experience will help me," added the ex-Preston boss. "I gained great knowledge from my time there. It was great to experience what I did and I hope that will make me better. "It's very difficult to compare the two leagues. The best teams are in Spain and many of the best players are in Spain." No mention of 'the ex-Man Utd boss"
Maybe Phil Neville will take Moyesy on as his assistant at Sevilla while he's in between jobs, he owes him that at least that for taking him to OT with him and because he was one of the backstabbers that helped him lose his job at yoonited.
Tremendous result last night. 1-6 with our reserve team at another Prem ground, against their strongest team. Why, even BBC Salford are reporting it second only to the news that Gary Neville is to manage in Spain.
Yeah, Neville getting the plaudits and hasn't managed his first game yet, Fergie's just given him the kiss of death though with his eulogy to Neville. His last one went well. "Announcing his successor, Sir Alex Ferguson said: "When we discussed the candidates that we felt had the right attributes we unanimously agreed on David Moyes. David is a man of great integrity with a strong work ethic. I've admired his work for a long time and approached him as far back as 1998 to discuss the position of Assistant Manager here. He was a young man then at the start of his career and has since gone on to do a magnificent job at Everton. There is no question he has all the qualities we expect of a manager at this Club.”
To be fair your paranoia is running away with itself there. The main story on BBC Salford is Pistorius being found guilty of murder. The main story on the Football page is the arrest of the FIFA officials. The second story is Klopp saying he understands the fuss over Sturridge. Why whine about something that isn't there?
Jeez, a full hour of Neville's presser and every word said on BBC's rolling sports news, LvG and Klopp combined never managed that.
The thing about news sites on the interweb is they change their articles from time to time. That's how they differ from the printed press. It's revolutioary stuff Mary. Not that I'm saying that your reply to my post 7 hours later hasn't taken that into account.
Over 30,000 people have signed an on-line petition to remove Tyson Fury from the SPOTY candidate list. Must all be Scousers
