Leeds are outnewcastling newcastle it seems.

If it's something North-Eastern I may have picked that up from my smoggie friend. I tend to pick up stuff from the people I talk to frequently, inconsciously.

Some of the touches and interplay with Messi towards the end from Zlatan were very nice. You could see the confidence flooding back. Aye. That's the best thing to get out of this game. Goal aside, he was much more involved in all our moves.

0-1 FT to us Again not a great performance, but I'll take the points. Best news is that Zlatan has had his best game since January.

They will probably be back in Barcelona this same evening. Regarding clubbing... they are a bit the same, but they don't have the press stalking them as much as they do in England so it's quite under the radar except some of the most famous players. Barça's regulations are much stricter nowadays after what went down at the end of the Rijkaard days so it's pretty quiet so far in our front.

What the fuck Zlatan has just done with his back, this should have been a goal!

ZLATAN! 0-1

Top US sports franchises have inferior revenues than the top European football teams, however. The New York Yankees "only" have €275m compared to Real Madrid's €400m, Barça's €366m, etc... http://www.forbes.com/lists/2009/33/baseball-values-09_New-York-Yankees_334613.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deloitte_Football_Money_League The fact they don't pay transfer fees in America allows them to pay these silly wages to players.

He was also pretty shit and now he is great for Mallorca. A Samson in reverse?

Some of these markets have the size of a small European country. Those numbers are not great, but decent enough to get by.

Milito is playing so well since ha came back, chuffed for him We started badly but we are getting into the game now.

I'm honestly really surprised to see how Nani has developed this year. Always had him for a headless chicken kind of a player. Cheers to the lad. And with this, Ibra misses an one-on-one.

He's very raw. Guardiola seems to rate him but I don't think he's going to be great or anything. But he's the more traditional winger we got.

f***ing tell me about it! Especially when I looked online before we went and there was supposedly a direct bus from Port Authority. Went there, asked at a desk where we got it and were told they stopped running that service a few months beforehand! Ended up having to get a train from Penn Station to Seacaucus (didn't even know what train we were getting on as a ticket inspector wouldn't tell us, rude b******) then a bus from there to Giants Stadium. Was a right carry on! They have added a train service since then, so now it's easier to get there. But the bus deal was a pain in the pass, particularly with how awful traffic can get in this city.

New York has 8 million people, and the Red Bulls only attract 12k every week... the Giants stadium was a pain in the ass to reach though, the new stadium is more easily accessed with public transportation.

It's a footballing cliche but boy it really is terrible. Sky

Scholes' tackling

Everton missed a good chance to get themselves in contention for an Europa League spot.

Are you going to kidnap Frank Lampard and dye his hair to pass him off as Kevin Nolan?

its at the reebok Well, Coyle's Bolton shouldn't be that hard to beat there, as Allardyce's was.

Wonder how a Rooneyless ManU manages, although Bolton at Old Trafford isn't the hardest fixture in the world...

Another thing they could do is what Espanyol did when they were broke and they were still fan-owned (so money couldn't be injected directly). Their sugar daddy bought players on his own accord and he loaned them to Espanyol free of charge. What I mean with all this, is that this rule can probably easily be circumvented if someone really wants to.

I would like Arsenal to win this but I also need them to lose a bit of morale for our CL tie

Does Al-Mansoor really care about the 2m or so they get from Etihad?

Ouch for Villa.
