It needs an overhaul for sure, ref's are under way too much pressure. The reason people like Fergie keep complaining is because he knows it has an effect. That comment re not sending off a Rooney though is shocking really.

err.. you list a player we don't have, one that might be leaving us and one you want to get rid of in your OUT as our right midfield - then go on to say we need a left mid, where you have 3 decent to good left mids already?

Think we should take a leaf out of club books and ban twitter, at least till September 1st.

I don't think you're right abput that Obi, it implies the club has nothing but the Carroll money to play with or that Ashley views it that way at least. Wether Carroll was sold or not you have to assume money would have been spent on transfers, even if that was only a few million. Plus it's almost certain there would be seperate funds for maintenance, non-playing staff renumeration etc, etc. The club does not run or fall on the Carroll money. Finally there's nothing, but people's prejudices, to say that Ashley has to take his money back everytime the club has some income, TV money, League place income etc. He can sit on his loan, he doesn't have to be in a hurry to reduce it, except perhaps in dribs and drabs. All said and done though I doubt we'll get through this without at least some bad news, (like Barton leaving for instance), nor will we have a complete squad with solid backups in every position but I think we'll be in a lot stronger position. I've my fingers crossed anyway.

Lots of things could influence this. Tiote his international teammate, Cabaye his recent Lille teammate, but at the end of the day I think he has his heart set on a higher target. He'll talk to us but ultimately go elsewhere. When Cabaye came off they were clearly saying bye to each other. However, I think we'll get the Zog back instead so it won't be the end of the world by any means.

Just send him the screaming goat, he'll still be wiping the tears of laughter away as he signs.

depends, if he signing for us then yes he's exactly what we need. if he was signing for the mackems then he's a bit lightweight to play in the prem and probably won't cut it in a better standard league.

Rennes just hit the post, almost 3-3

Well that's Cabaye subbed off with 5 minutes left, reminds me a bit of Rob Lee.

Brilliantly unselfish play from Gervinho there. Sow's third.

Just said Cabaye has missed his last 3 penalties in a row.

Penalty to Lille, Sow to take,.... and scores.

He had to try for it like, there were two in behind him.

Good save from Lille keeper there.

At a guess the club is livid his names got out. It's going to be a long week.

Bench. That would be a big call considering his status at the club and season just gone. They didn't hesitate on doing it to JB. Wouldn't surprise me if Nolan's next. Huge, huge difference between Barton and Nolan though, in virtually every aspect. True that, Barton is not a bad footballer. Seriously though if we can put out a team where Nolan is on the bench (something he said himself he accepts will happen) then surely we're fielding a better team.

Evidence There is mixed evidence that elastic therapeutic sport tape produces clinically significant benefits. One randomized, double-blind study of the tape showed no medium- or long-term benefit, although there was a statistically significant effect immediately after application. The authors conclude "Utilization of KT [Kinesio tape] for decreasing pain intensity or disability for young patients with suspected shoulder tendonitis/impingement is not supported." [6] A randomized clinical trial of patients with whiplash found an effect that was statistically significant, but "improvements in pain and cervical range of motion were small and may not be clinically meaningful."[7] A study of the effect of Kinesio taping on muscle strength found "Kinesio taping on the anterior thigh neither decreased nor increased muscle strength in healthy non-injured young athletes."[8] A study of the effect of elastic taping on baseball players with shoulder impingement found "elastic taping resulted in positive changes in scapular motion and muscle performance."[9] A study of the effect of Kinesio Taping on changes in the tone of the vastus medialis muscle during isometric contractions found an increase in muscle tone 24 hours after application, but a decrease to the baseline during the fourth day. The authors conclude "Kinesio Taping used shortly before the motor activity it is supposed to support may fail to fulfil its function."[10] A study of the effect of kinesio taping on lower trunk range of motion found an increase in range of motion for flexion, but no significant difference for extension or lateral flexion.[11] Kinesio taping on the IT band and hip flexors worked well for tendonitis and/or bursitis when on, but when taken off, it re-occurred

She knows what she's talking about. Yeah but Ben Arfa has done f*** all this season. Is that Wearside's point then? Yeah. Sessegnon has done more in 5 months than Ben Arfa did in 3 games. Ah crap, Wearside wins then, fairplay to the lad.

She knows what she's talking about. Yeah but Ben Arfa has done fuck all this season. Is that Wearside's point then?

Bit frightening to think what Barca would have done to the rest of the EPL considering what they just did to ManU.

Valencia's a liability here.

Shit effort at a save by VDS, basically fell over full length - no leap at all.

I'm bricking it now that his name is out there, we don't have a signature yet.
