oh look Sunderland are first on motd

invested hugely in the academy (google tells me £100m) which is the weird thing for me, as man citys academy seemed at least half way competent at bringing through players before though I suppose the difference in quality required explains that. The transfer policy does seem to have gone downhill drastically since the two barcelona guys joined up in 2012, a quick look back at transfers since then and Fernandinho is about the best of them or Demichelis but neithers been truly exceptional

No Carroll, nowt to play for and Nolan's back smoking 40 a day. doesn't help Allerdyce is basically a lame duck with it clear he's not getting a new contract

Crystal Palace 2-1 QPR Arsenal 2-1 West Ham Leicester 1-2 Hull Sunderland 0-1 Aston Villa West Brom 2-1 Stoke Burnley 0-2 Man City Chelsea 1-0 Southampton Everton 1-0 Newcastle Man Utd 1-2 Tottenham Swansea 0-2 Liverpool

paybacks a bitch

only one anywhere near is Italy which has been worse in europe lately, its nowhere near being overtaken

4/7 penalty not given in the first was to blame 10/11 poor referee 3/1 FFP is an unfair advantage 7/1 UEFA conspiracy 25/1 Platini 100/1 Qatar funding ISIS 1/6 David Luiz assaulted Costa in the first half and shouldn't play again

superb performance from PSG and glad to see mourinho crashing and burning, pity City likely won't get their act together to stop him winning the league

how stupid can you get

Bigger mystery tonight is why he leaves Costa on, the man is a ticking time bomb and should have been sent off twice already. why bother taking him off when the ref has shown no inclination to sending him off anyway and if he does get sent off why jose can say its all a conspiracy

Hope we see some real blood. All I'm asking for is some palnese style football along with a PSG win and Mourinho embarrassing himself after the whistle. This would be mildly amusing if the PSG team weren't bursting with scum as well. true but I'll give anybody a good reference compared to mourinhos chelsea

This isn't over yet. We can still hope he'll bounce out against 10 men. doubt it he'll park the bus for the next half

fucking usual mourinho cheating bullshit as always, all the resources any manager could ever want but delivers average football (at best), his players cheat and he consistently is talking utter tripe which the pathetic press just laps up and worships him for

the reasons seems to get progressively sillier as it goes on and lots and lots of repetition. Also including anything from before anyone was alive and has nothing to do with football like the English Civil War is just plain stupid.

I'm always reluctant to really pass judgement on any player in their first season after moving to a new league it can be very random how quickly someone adapts to it some take to it straight away others take a full season to really show their best but it would be nice if he could show anything that says that he is any sort of improvement on Shola.

key question really because as it stands rangers financially are up the creek without a paddle and the boats leaking all the while ashleys got the merchandising already and the current loans secured against everything rangers have that isn't Ibrox. Ashley may not have a presence on the board but he's got them by the balls.

its the racism thing that really grinds my gears, this is fucking simple stuff its utterly unacceptable but time after time FIFA (and uefa) have done nothing significant to stop it and punish those guilty, I think back 10 years ago the monkey chants in spain vs england spains punishment? around 50-60k fine. Terry gets 4 games-oh no the horror, Suarez got 7 (and 1 for an obscene gesture) they should have been banned for a full season if they were serious about tackling it and it has no place in the game as they claim.

Captain Courageous and Mapou cowering springs to mind. its fair to say we've all seen some fairly terrible defensive displays as nufc fans on pretty much a weekly basis for as long as we've been supporting the club but that really pissed me off more than the (many many) other times just because of how ridiculous the sight was of our cbs trying to run away from the ball in terror.

oh jesus christ its not front page of a national newspaper story even if the paper is the fucking sun

I have never been so infuriated by something like that as with the mcmanaman incident and the shit that spewed from Martinez and Whelans mouth I don't give a shit about mcmanaman anymore but do rather hope Martinez fails miserably in everything he does

real world yes but in the FIFA world admitting guilt is a bad thing

as if the FA has the fucking balls to do that to a man utd player.

probably both teams with major defensive howlers

this is my major problem, I have absolutely 0 issue with Cisse getting a ban but frankly it seems stupidly over the top to me, yes spitting is rather disgusting but ultimately it hurts no one, does no serious damage to anything but ego but it gets automatically twice the ban violent conduct does? Gets more than being a fucking racist which is a far more serious issue than some saliva. Whomever decided this rule has seriously skewed priorities

dunno, spitting is disgusting but don't end careers, bad tackles can. Seems rather backwards and overall petty
