Neil Taylor was a non-league player, wasn't he ?

WTF

Tiote in front of that and that's arguably one of the leagues best defensive units. Cabaye and Jonas do a lot of work defensively aswell.
-
he done well today, i thought but I'm not looking forward to seeing him against Enrique on Friday.

Is there an attribute he doesn't have ?

News Manchester United fans top Premier League of shame for match-day arrests Steve Robson December 23, 2011 Share Article | Submit Comments | Comments (163) | Printable Version Previous | Next Manchester United have finished top of a 'league of shame' for match-day arrests. The champions had more fans held by police than any other team in the Premier League during last season – almost twice as many as second-placed Sunderland. The figures, released by the Home Office show that the number of United supporters arrested rocketed from 165 in the 2009-10 season to 276 last year. Some 117 fans were held at home games and 159 at away matches. The vast majority of the arrests were for alcohol offences (127), followed by violent disorder (63), ticket touting (26), pitch invasions (20), public disorder (15) and possessing offensive weapons (11). City joined United in the top four of the list - with 108 arrests last season. Bolton had 52 fans arrested and Wigan 27. Outside the top flight, Rochdale had seven arrests, Stockport five and Bury just one. United said the figures should be seen in context of the fact Old Trafford had a bigger capacity than any other ground. A club spokesman said: "These figures should be presented as a percentage of the stadium’s crowd, rather than as individual figures." Mark Longden, from the independent Manchester United supporters association blamed the high number of arrests on 'over-zealous' policing at football grounds. He said: "We're one of the very few teams that sells out their ticket allocation wherever we go. "We all have our bad eggs but I think most sections of supporters are the same. The main issue is over-zealous policing. "The way supporters are policed in general is conducive to getting arrested. The police release these figures every year which are designed to show football supporters to be hooligans carrying bricks and knives. "It's in their interests to talk up the aggro." Manchester City declined to comment. The figures also showed that 23 fans were arrested in the Premier League for racist or indecent chanting – including two United fans. Total number of arrests - home and away Manchester United 276 Sunderland 126 Newcastle 123 Manchester City 108 Arsenal 107 Aston Villa 103 Birmingham City 74 Chelsea 74 Stoke City 70 West Ham 68 Liverpool 66 Bolton Wanderers 52 Wolves 50 Tottenham Hotspur 48 Everton 45 Blackburn Rovers 37 West Brom 35 Wigan Athletic 27 Blackpool 26 Fulham 12

Are you actually a Liverpool fan because you seem to be constantly standing up for them over everything. No, not at all but everyone seems to attack them and i think that a lot of the time they get more criticism/hatred than they deserve. In particular over the Hillsborough stuff. Hillsborough aside, I think you should spend some time talking to Liverpool fans. Then you might see why they get so much hatred. I'm not saying i can't understand it. I have had a go at them myself believe it or not, sometimes they do piss me off in particular when they get on their high horse over fans booing their team, and how they don't believe it's"The Liverpool way" especially after the way they did exactly that to Hodgson, but sometimes people go over the top and seem very bitter.

Tbh, though do you not have to make allowance for the fact that maybe in Uruguay there is a different meaning ?

What has happened ?

They usually do win these type of polls. Notice how Sky Sports goal of the week usually goes to a LFC player, Some times Man U aswell.

Would have liked the Schmiechel option, tbh. I voted for Shearer anyway even though i think Henry is the best of those options.

Krul Richard Colo Kompany Enrique Dejong Modric Sturidge Silva Mata RVP

You forgot to mention how classy he is.

Thread should have a poll. David Silva, btw.

"Paris Saint-Germain are known to draw their support from both far-right white nationalists and Île de France's multi-ethnic population. The Kop of Boulogne is a stand in the Parc des Princes which mainly housed the Boulogne Boys, a supporter group associated with the club. It is known as the "most notorious stand in French football" due to its links with violence and far-right political groups. The KOB became synonymous in French public opinion with not only football hooliganism, but racism and fascism since the 1980s and continutes to be associated with violent elements within the PSG support due to a number of high-profile incidents.[31] The Boulogne Boys, however, were not all far-right supporters as many supporters rejected the attempts of right-wing parties to infiltrate their ranks."

They didn't change them for us: they changed them for any subsequent CL victors that got screwed over by their FA. How did you get screwed over by the F.A ?

With a stadium as nice as the vicente calderon it's always going to be difficult for an architect to improve the design of the stadium. Would it not be possible to create a bigger version of the same stadium on the new site ?

What i'm trying to say is that over the season it hasn't been too bad, so that maybe as i said we are over reacting to this. Over the season it has been terrible tbh. Realy ? Don't remember to many incidents.
