ooof! so close. HOWAY THE LADS!!

We're far too reliant on long-balls into the box for Carroll.

Take Tiote off?

Not a bad team selection today. Would've had big Willy in there though instead of Taylor.

Love this group of lads.

Let's hope he's just lowering expectations.

but, he's the Best Manager In the World™

I play 3-1-3-1-2 on Fifa and love it. Realistically it's not going to work though, especially with the growing love of a single striker up top, having three guys cover one person is a waste. It kind of looks like this: X X X X X X X X X X X

I honestly don't see Barton as the type of player to go elsewhere because he gets offered more money tbh. He really doesn't strike me as that type of guy. I think he's more concerned with showing what he can do on the pitch rather than what he does to fill the back pages at this point in his life.

Robbie Findley to Nottingham Forest.

Thank you Toure.

Fucking Zabaleta. What a cunt.

The Man City team just look like a team full of egotistical schmucks. I wouldn't be surprised to see some Dyer v Bowyer style incident this season. They look like they are all out there for their own personal gain and lose their shit so quickly.

I really enjoy Ian Darke and Steve McManaman but sometimes Darke really does speak in hyperbole and seems really off-base. Usually he's pretty spot on though.

Nice finish.

What the fuck is all this snood business? Just saw it on Routledge's Twitter too.

good time to start watching.

This will be on espn360 for anyone in the States.

Would love for HBA to fly up for this one, although I doubt it would happen.

He looks tore up but his hair looks far from it. By the way, if any of the players see this thread/the avatars in this thread they're going to fucking report us.

For anyone who hasn't seen the conditions: http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/8996/ipswitchsnow.jpg

man that's some snow.

I love that he plays the game so differently than the majority of players. Most players will see the ball and themselves as one but Tiote uses his body and the ball totally independently of each other in a very real way. This probably doesn't make sense but I hope that it does.

Used to do that myself when I had a "real job." Canny beer money at the end of the week.
