he's looked good whenever I've seen him. Low obviously thinks he's good and so does Wenger. Thanks for your view mate, but I'll go with Low's and Wenger's... Cheers
Nah, his original Matth account got banned for swearing and insulting everyone who trolled him and spamming the forum with threads. Back in 2012 or 13 IIRC. He had another couple (scholes 18 and carrick 16 IIRC) which also got banned. Then he calmed down, got better at not reacting to everything and was allowed back on the forum with a new account and the current username back in 2014. He's used the same one since with no trouble, so no more accounts made.
Ah, didn't realise he had been banned, just thought he had been given cooling off periods. That's why I couldn't reconcile the post count with all his activity.
Precedent has been set when Fellani elbowed Huth and got a 3 match ban. Then again Man City will make a donation to the FA Christmas party fund and a dodgy fax machine will lose the paperwork or something and Aguero will be let off.
Have just watched the pundit's reactions on MoTD and they are saying it was a yellow card at most - bollocks was it but can see the FA ignoring it.
It's either been seen by the ref and he's been incompetent OR it hasnt been seen and is an automatic retrospective ban. To say it's a yellow card is like saying you're a bit pregnant.
The ref saw it, he was about 3 yards away looking right at it. He didn't take any action at all and so there will be no case to answer.
PSG lost 3-1 to Monaco this weekend. It will be interesting to see how PSG's season develops without Zlatan. I also look forward to seeing how Di Maria copes if things go sideways for them.
am I the only one who think Spurs got their transfers wrongs?!! what they are good at atm is that they are so hard to score against .. what they lack is a cutting edge when going forward.. with CL around there attacking minded players will be tired and less effective .. janssen look average player so far
Not that fussed about Spurs tbh. I honestly think they have had their usual one good season out of five (which wasn't even all that good in the end) and will just miss out on 5th this year. Then Dier, Alli, Kane and others will leave for CL football next summer, Lewis and Levy will pocket a fair chunk of the cash they get, and they will be back to scrapping for 5th and trying to build up again. Interesting to see a bit of panic buying by Chelsea with Luiz. Particularly as they were pretty good at getting their targets well in advance the last few seasons. Wonder who he will replace at Chelsea - you'd have to guess at Cahill or Terry, but I reckon he might be pushed into DM and replace Matic. Hard to see such a defensive and disciplined manager as Conte being happy with Sideshow Bob tripping over his own feet at CB.
They need experience higher up the pitch - don't think they have anyone over 26 in the midfield which is one of the reasons they caged under pressure last season. Sissoko is a really strange signing as well - isn't known for being professional, was a poor DM last season and only success came as playing right midfield for France but Spurs play with wingers. They have much better options already so have paid £30m for a moody backup.
Was listening to radio 5 last night and they had a French journalist who was destroying Luiz calling him a worse player then when he arrived at PSG and the only reason they didn't get rid if him earlier was because they could find anyone daft enough to spend that much money until now.
Taken from RAWK, I think Astro wrote it August 2014) A Letter to Mario (Balotelli) Dear Mario, In this crazy world we live in, someone you've never heard of or will probably never meet, feels, as a Liverpool fan, that its ok to write to you on an internet page to say welcome. But here I am, and there you are, somewhere, preparing for the Spurs game today. But I'm writing this with real meaning when I say welcome, because you are now at a club that is different, and a club where the fans genuinely care about their team. Now I'm quite sure every fan of any team would say that, but at Liverpool, you're not just a player, you a Liverpool player and that means you're part of our family. You are now one of us, and you are now family (you're welcome round for tea anytime mate). Welcome to a bond with a set of fans that will not just sing your name, but look out for you, welcome to a ground where the feeling is different, a sense of history, family and warmth, of times shared and where the outside world and press are invited in but never truly part of it, welcome to a place, a sense of place, a culture that sets us apart from the rest of them. I've read about your upbringing, it must be very odd to have your everyday shared with millions, your history available for analysis and comment by strangers, and then to be called 'crazy' by these people who haven't a clue. They are the crazy folk, they are the ones who think its ok to write about other people as if they are professional pyschologists, mind readers and judges of character. Not you. Well, welcome to a club that sets apart from that world. Liverpool is a club that does it differently, where the emotions are heartfelt not invented, the flags are fabric not plastic and the noise deafeningly sincere. Liverpool's great players have all been special, and different and gifted and marvellous to watch, and all of them acknowledge the club has a special place in their hearts. You are brilliant at your job, wonderful to watch, and you arriving here has made a lot of people excited. You have the gift of creating emotion in men's hearts, that's the real meaning of football, and I hope I speak for all Liverpool fans when I say, have the best time of your life here, have a great career and score lots of goals sure, but really, truly, have a great life whilst at our club. In some ways, Mario, welcome home Fast forward to now and he was sent packing to Nice, Free!!!
