    Alan Pardew's reaction to the goal was hilarious!

    Yep, Marquez has ridiculous talent. Spotted him a few seasons back in the 125s, riding for KTM, and thought him a definite future World Champion then. And now he already is... twice. You're right about the Qatar straight. The Hondas walked away from the satellite Yamaha, and the factory M1 was only able to stick with them in the tow. That long straight favours the peaky motors. Even the Ducatis were doing quite well because of it. Super race, and the Qatar event isn't usually one of my favourites.

    A truly sad day, apparently I am on the brink of being banned from the QPR forum. Devastating.

    The racing value should be so much better this year, Marquez is going to add so much to the class "win it or bin it", love racers like him.

    For just one moment consider how devastating it would be to be in their shoes right now, then imagine someone from the QPR forum coming on here and winding us up all the time. Would piss me off pretty quick too.

    Also, they were pretty restrained after they beat us at home to be fair to them.

    Oh well, my despise of Redkrapp is worth getting banned for.

    United have signed an 8 year deal to sell their training ground name of "Carrington Training Complex" to Aon. Now "Aon Training Complex".

    Aon have also acquired training kit sponsorship.

    Also, United have signed a new shirt sponsorship deal with Chevrolet, who will begin sponsoring in the 2014/15 season.

    Agreed. I thought Scott Redding was going to do that in the Moto2 race. It was clear Pol Espargaro's bike had a slight edge over his, in speed, and for a moment I thought Scott was going to try a win it or bin it lunge, but he realised that a 2nd place on the podium was better than scraping his backside and bike down the tarmac.

    I'm not exactly a Marquez fan. The kid has talent, yes, but I don't see how a win it or bin it attitude will work in MotoGP. Hopefully he matures with age, and then he really will be immense. I will enjoy watching it while I can though :p Very impressed with Cal, it's just a shame he threw it off the road towards the end, but a good result nonetheless. And who isn't happy to see Rossi back up at the sharp end. It would've been awesome to see him dominate on the Ducati, but clearly that bike has fundamental issues.

    I do like the look of Redding in Moto2. He's definitely worked on his racecraft over the winter, and you can tell he's gonna be a winner this year. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in MotoGP next year.

    The money that top clubs can earn from such sponsorship keeps them happy under the new finance rules. aap3 did not pay a lot as our sponsors and have got themselves a bargain being on the shirts of a PL side...no argument with that...they sponsored us when we needed a sponsor. This is just an area that increases the difference between the top and the rest. look at the massive money paid to sponsor the Etihad...totally out of proportion to what they could earn as a sponsor from the exposure. Wenger pointed that out...just a way of slipping money to a club.

    Probably just my opinion, but I think you are behaving like an immature kid, what you are doing is neither clever or Saintly, and to boast about it makes it worse, yes, just for once I am having a sense of humour failure, because I find this sort of thing stupid, if anyone from another team does it on here, everyone gets up tight, so why do expect them to be any different? Grow up.

    We have been in the place that teams like QPR and Portsmouth find themselves...haven't the heart to tease all and sundry. Even found myself wishing a Pompey fan luck on Saturday...it would be like kicking puppies.

    That kick on Boruc was shown on MOTD as the difference between the two keepers. They said Boruc knew he was going to get hurt and got the ball anyway...so we won by having the dafter keeper<laugh>

    Blimey, MP thinks a lot of Rodriguez...

    He is a player that has a great dynamism, great technical quality, the Saints boss said.
    He is obsessed by football, lives for football, has a great mentality and is always available. The sky is the limit for him. I don't see a roof &#8211; there is no limit.

    I have been thinking about behaviour on chat sites, I have found myself becoming an internet bully when I perceive that someone is misbehaving on line, being basically a shy person, I wouldn't dream of getting involved in a face to face situation, weird.

    I wouldn't call myself a Marquez fan either, but he's an exceptional talent. However, he has always had the best equipment, even though the bikes of Moto2 were meant to be roughly equal. I sometimes got the feeling that some bikes were more equal than others.
    I also like Iannone. A great racer of the future who sadly, isn't aboard a competitive bike, this season. As regards Redding, neither would I.
