Looked like he was instructed not to go so far past the half way line. Didn´t screw up once, and was accurate with his passes.

Just helping him to his feet tbh, games would be raining pens if this happened every time players did this. Yeah......no.

I hope people making fun of Gash here deep inside know that we were very lucky that the ref didn´t award them a penalty. Barton truly trolled them this time.

It clearly was a penalty, the ball was still in play when Barton manhandled Gervinho. We were fucking lucky to get a point. Hadaway man. Worst dive I've ever seen. Gervinho dived when Barton picked him up off the ground? Ah, I see what you're saying. Would it be a pen for something off the ball like that though? Well, what´s stopping people from doing it otherwise? Im no expert on the rules of the game, but as long as the ball is still in play, I can´t see why it shouldn´t be a penalty.

Thought he did well considering the circumstances. In a game where we aren´t going to defend and hoof the ball past the midfield he will be better. Nothing to do with the "pace of the english game".

I can´t even describe how much I would have hated him if I supported another team.

AGH!! These two and a half hours will not fly by I can feel. I need my fix now maaaan!

That sig man. What the f***? Get it removed please. Agreed. Quite disturbing for a forum, not that I really care but its a bit too much for many I think. Ditto. My stomach twists when I see it. Please remove it.

Got to be true

They do archive results from tests etc you know, and they do have staff that worked there before he arrived.

Even without the ones who have left, Krul, Coloccini, Tiote, Cabaye, Jonas, Ben Arfa, Ba, etc. is the core of a good solid top 8 squad. If players want to leave that then that's their choice but we're still attractive. Besides from Cabaye and Ben Arfa, which of those players has been proven as capable at playing consistently in a top 8 side of any European league, let alone the Premiership..? Even then, those 2 have it all to prove in the Prem. Coloccini at Deportivo and Ba at Hoffenheim. Krul is a talent that many top clubs have been interested in, has games for NT. Jonas has played in the WC.

At first I thought Daves replies the last half year were serious, as 80% of them are just a short one line reply with something sarcastic about saving money, but now I´m starting to think that he may be on a trolling quest the internet has never seen the likes of.

No love lost from either side makes this enjoyable news to me.

Marveux - Left wing/attacking midfielder Alan Smith - Gutierrez - Left & right wing Ben Arfa - Attacking midfielder/left wing Obertan - Right wing/right forward Other then that I agree with the rest. This is only my perception btw, before anyone feel the need to slag me off.

I hate the "doesn´t matter what fee he's being sold for, as it won´t be reinvested in the team any way" line. Well, it may not be reinvested, but for some reason I can´t stand the thought of Liverpool getting a coup on him. They should fucking pay what he's worth. Bleed them dry or tell them to fuck off.

But he still injured himself by coming back early for selfish reasons

Luckily Owen injured himself, while others have injured Ben Arfa.

Hope following Fat Sam, Nolan and the West Ham fans this season will give me lots of schadenfreude.

He really doesn´t know what he just signed up for, poor lad

Why are people so surprised? MA wants to cut the wage bill. That doesn´t happen if you replace like for like. It´s a painful process, but hopefully it will pay dividends in the end. The Carroll money were a large one-time sum, and using it on transfer fees only would just result in a bigger wage bill that the normal revenue would have problems to sustain.

I seriously doubt we went in thinking we could get Barnetta for 40k and passed on it because he wanted 45k like... http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n286/FantazDick/motivational%20posters/CommonSense.jpg

Which is a stupid rule anyway. You pay for a ticket to see a full match, not at least 60 minutes of one. Might feel unfair, but it´s a live event, and they can´t help if the weather is bad. See nothing wrong in claiming force majeure in events like today. Any kind of refund should be appreciated, but not expected.
