He would probably think a lot better of him if he signed the contracts they were offering him. The boy ran down his contract purposely, so he could leave for a paltry fee and was worth an eight figure fee in less than one year. It is a bit ridiculous to act as though Manchester United never let go of players that could have helped Newcastle United at a point in time. Even the likes of Diouf, Tosic, Simpson, Shawcross, etc. could have contributed at this club. He generally made the moves that were best for Manchester United, but it is a huge club and so much talent comes and goes. Smith, Butt, and Obertan are just poor chocies. The first two were immediately regrettable investments on players who were not the same physically after years of injuries and playing at the top level. Obertan was an acceptable risk to take who simply hasn't worked out and only racks up appearances at NUFC because there has not been proper recruitment to replace him.

Bielsea is back!! Annoyed I had to miss this match, because it sounds incredible, in great contrast to terrible recent performances. Ayew and Batshuayi both at the double. It has been only nine months since the World Cup and it is incredible how much better Batshuayi is than the pretender Origi. Belgium seems to be producing a line of Congolese strikers at the moment with Lukaku, Benteke, Mboyo, and now Batshuayi. Luckily for them they have all chosen Belgium as well. Coutinho has been great, finally playing consistently well. Always been an excellent footballer ont he right day, but lately he's been consistent which is really important and should be the #2 guy for the national team at the moment. In place of out-of-form Oscar or in the same side?

If this enough evidence to be pursuing the case so aggressively and releasing the name of the suspect to the public? Obviously, I am not presuming Johnson is innocent, but it is a bit ridiculous they can tear people down publicly on so little. No physical evidence or anything damning at all. *assuming internet rumours are true

Basketball players are constantly hydrating, though. Exactly, and in situations where there isn't water immediately available people are spitting in the nearest bin if playing inside or through the fence/out of bounds if playing outside. It is a natural thing to do. ------------ http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2006/08/mendes250806_400x600.jpg Flying elbow leading to convulsions=six games initially, 8 after extensive appeal process. http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/audio/video/2013/4/22/1366636821149/Luis-Su-rez-bites-Otman-B-005.jpg Seven match ban-actually biting a person in the neck. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/09/21/article-0-151476F7000005DC-860_468x400.jpg Alleged Racism-Eight matches http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/04/22/article-2312710-196BEDE1000005DC-871_634x514.jpg Second biting offence within three years=ten match ban. http://img.thesun.co.uk/aidemitlum/archive/01584/ANTON_1584617a.jpg Much more clear cut racism than Suarez done by England's captain=four match ban, the same you receive for a late tackle. I don't have anything against Thatcher, Terry, or Suarez, but the penalties are disproportionate. Spitting is terrible but not actually going to harm anyone. It is something I've only done once in my life, and don't plan to do again, but you see how it can happen in a tense match AFTER someone has already spit on you.

I'm a little concerned about Aarons, tbh. It is now four months he hasn't played competitive football at any level, with a new reasons being found to delay his return at seemingly every available opportunity. The facts remain that he has only played five matches professionally, starting only two and playing 90 minutes in none. He had so much momentum in the preseason and the early part of the league campaign, so it would be a real shame if he didn't get another chance to show himself and learn at the top level before the next preseason.

Tbh, one of the main problems with the Olympics football seems to be that the Europeans either do not care, can not be bothered, or cannot properly organise for the event, which is borne out in the results. It wouldn't surprise me if this has something to do with the complete lack of a corresponding qualifying tournament. I've always enjoyed football at the Olympics, tbh. Usually a good mix of young, fairly unknown talent with a few established stars, there are upsets at that level almost constantly, and the matches are usually fairly entertaining.

And still the second best wide player in the squad.

Would you rather Espanyol or Atheltic in the final?

Matic had every right to shove Barnes for trying to break his leg in common sense terms, but football works on something very different than common sense. Cisse will receive a four match ban.

Not watching this match at all, but Vine tells me Riviere was denied a clear penalty. Typical.

Ryan Taylor was inadequate in 2009 and has since gone through two knee surgeries.

I think he's easily the worst keeper in the Prem now that daft c*** Hennessey doesn't get a gig anymore. He's f***ing doggers. Either that or regularly dices in Asian betting markets. Him or McGregor for me. Speroni is fairly poor as well, imo. Outside of Lloris, De Gea, and the two Chelsea men, I don't find many of the keepers in England very impressive.

Sunderland and Hull are both perfectly capable of not winning another match all season. It is not done. The Foster mistake is even more galling after replays. He should save the initial shot, and he should catch the ball, but furthermore there is not any reason to recklessly dive at the Villa player in that manner. What happens if he just stands up tall in front of the player? There are probably six defenders and eleven total players between him and the goal.

Great effort to stop the penalty as well Wasn't this man England #1 for some time?

Foster needs to be drug tested and/or investigated for match-fixing.

I wish West Brom would bring on Sessegnon, Mcmanaman, or just anyone outside of the two forwards that will try something other than nothing. Lescott against Agbonlahor and Benteke has been reminiscent of Coloccini against Lukaku.

What is the record for least points necessary for survival in a Premiership season? I wouldn't be surprised if it is set again this season because these bottom teams are barely competitive.

It is ten minutes in the match, and there have already been five shots of Sherwood acting a maniac. Surely his personality must be grating to players.

Yobo is honestly better than both NUFC's centrebacks, imo, and that is very, very sad.

I am the same. For me, it is more a matter of comfort than anything. Unless it is excruciatingly hot, I always wear gloves when playing football, and similarly almost always wear tights when playing basketball. I like the feel of these things.

It is just another pointless end to a season with nothing to play for or aim for, similar to 2006-2007, 2010-2011, or 2013-2014. One has to assume the manager is a lame duck (In Jesus Name ) and any real investment (if any is forthcoming) will be this summer. I can just watch the match, when I am bothered, with the bit of solace being that I do not pay for any of this, sorry for those that spend their hard earned on it.

Colback has been the best passer in NUFC's midfield this season, fwiw, not that this is some great competition. He is generally fairly accurate, and has been more proactive than Anita. I like Abeid, and he should get many more opportunities this season with Tiote injured and Anita probably working his way out of the team or playing emergency fullback. The sample size is far too small for him to be labeled as some sort of winning charm, but he has good attributes and good experience from Greece.

The top scorer in that division last season was some Icelandic, Finnbogason, who scored ~30 goals in a 34 match league season, then promptly moved to La Liga where has failed to score even once.

You may think so but I thought he was crap - as usual. He may have scored the goal - and God be thanked for that - but his general play and control is amateurish. He also lacks pace and is now just a poacher who I would sell if we had a club run by a professional instead of a greedy tight-fisted Market trader who won't pay market rate for a decent CF. You obviously weren't following the club when we had Shearer up front or even David Kelly, let alone Supermac. With Mandoon here, like. Cisse played perfectly well yesterday. We all know he's not Shearer or Supermac but I couldn't care less if he keeps scoring a goal every 85 minutes or whatever his rate it. Neither should you. The average football match has less than three goals. Even if Cisse lied in the grass the rest of the match, a goal per 80 minutes makes him the most valuable player in the team by a distance. Still, we have seen his goals dry up often before and when that is the case, he is rather useless. If this club was serious, they would bring in another established striker in the summer if Manu continues not to show anything, so we don't have such a Cisse-dependence.
