frankly this is a disgrace by Pards. I've never said a bad word about him since he came in but this is a complete joke. Our starting line up and half-time substitution were pathetic. Raylor man? I said he'd get fucking rammed up the ass and he has done, he's not good enough, he's nowehere near good enough. Shola on for Ben Arfa, what fucking idiot does that? Shola will add nothing to the side apart from a high tally of off-sides. Just gutted about this to be honest

Raylor shat the bed against Man City and completely bricked it. If the same happens again today, we're fucked as he has so little protection. What a massive disappointment this is

Just get fucked Redknapp, you sick fuck. Get out £30 million and you can have him

Means a lot, great effort. I really hope the Swansea match is a memorable one

Just get fucking Santon on the left wing man. What a joke. He works hard but he's not going to touch the ball all game. The only good thing to come of this is, Ben Arfa will link up play really well with both Ba and Loven as they both have good movement. The problem is what happens after Loven's good movement when he fucks up an easy chance. This is such a pisstake man

I'd be sick to my stomach if that happened. Don't think it will, Ba, Ben Arfa behind. Obertan right, Guthrie and Cabaye central with Sammy on the left. Best will come on in the 72nd minute. Feel like it's going to be massively open which could be a good or bad thing. We'll definitely get chances but I reckon with it being open, they'll get at our fullbacks, especially Raylor. Think I'll go for an optimistic 3-2

There was never anything in it. Just some PR and press people being fed rumours and paid cash to plant stories to get him a new deal. Even so, it's always a relief when the news fucks off

That really annoyed me when I read that this morning. Horrible bunch of bastards, looking forward to them being relegated. He's a desperate sham of a man who is completely out of his depth. He looks manic in all his press interviews and can barely string words together. That football club can fuck off

In fairness, that is just gold

The music line was a pathetic line from him and made him look cheap but I still think he's a decent enough guy. I've said it before but it was a desperate attempt for him to ingratiate himself with the Sunderland supporters. Look at him now though, they hate him and we don't like him. His move to Sunderland is a career destroyer

I feel sorry for him, he's not a bad guy but he's completely the wrong man for the job. He doesn't have enough pace or skill in his midfield, has signed too many cloggers and there doesn't seem to be any system to their play. Theoretically, with Sess and Bendtner they should be able to create but they just don't move it around well as a team. I don't wish anything bad on Bruce or Sunderland but surely they must realise that chanting 'Fat Geordie Bastard' is only going to make things worse. They all seem to be conspiring to fuck the club up, with the manager and fans turning on one another. I prefer the premier league with Boro and Sunderland in it, just not when things get too aggro on the pitch or off it among the fans. No need.

This is still really hurting. Just thinking about all the time he had left, all the people he'd had such a great impact on and all the people he could have helped. Just a horrible reminder about how things are often not what they seem

This game's got a Steven Taylor goal written all over it. 3-2 to the lads. Ramires is looking quality for them and I think Meireles is improving. Sturridge is a worry but I think our midfield can match theirs no problem. Can see it being a really open game

When they're "rationalising" by firing modestly paid journalists and backroom people, the obscene amounts they pay to Lawrenson,Hansen,Shearer are a disgrace. None of them add anything to the programme. I'd say cut the bullshit, show more highlights and save money at the same time. This, waste of time. Just a round up of cliches from people who often know far less about the teams they're talking about than fans do.

Just started to hit me now, shocking news. Loved his attitude on the pitch and his game, always wanted him to succeed at Wales and was pleased he was getting them results. Just horrible

Can we not swap Wireside for Sir Ricky Sbragia, I fucking love the guy. Really tempted to create an RTG account just so I can read through his posts.

What a bunch of pathetic cunts. Who gives a shit man, it happens all the time to every team and finally when it happens to Man U, this sort of shit happens. The double standards are the 'travesty', not the decision making. Beautiful that this could be the game that takes the title away from them come the end of the season.

Its rare I go into a game thinking we'll lose but I think we will,anything else and I'll be ecstatic.just hope we don't give away any soft goals and attack positively.can't wait for it whatever happens

Wireside man,you're not doing yourself any favours.no need to come on here just to talk s***.enjoy your Wigan clash.focus on your team because if you lose/draw against wigan you're f***ed

I like Ronaldo, don't like CT. Would like to know whether Arfa has made it completely clear he thinks he should be played through the middle or Pards has. That is a murky topic. Pards says he doesn't think Arfa has the relish for it but as has been made clear a few times on this forum, he's desperate for minutes and when Sammy was brought on instead of him for Everton, I'm sure he would have been desperate to get on. I'm really undecided on whether I'd go for Best,Ba with Arfa on the wing if it was an option or just stick Obertan in there with Arfa just behind Ba. I really like Best but I think Arfa will play his best football and make more for the team through the middle. On the wing I could see him just drifting in more and either and getting brought down or going for shots. Either way, Arfa has to start

Depending on the grade of the injury, the lowest grade (grade 1) can take between 2 and 10 weeks for the injury to fully heal. Recovery times for grades 2 and 3 are difficult to predict because of the amount of damage done can take weeks to several months. It is difficult to apply pressure on the injured leg for at least a few days. From Wiki

medial collateral ligament? Edit: will look it up

Wouldn't trust Wikipedia in this case. Been absolute class at centre back for Montpellier. Would be a terrific signing. Fear he may be a bit on the expensive side though. Last year of contract or not?

Agree with this and have done all along. Couldn't care less if that makes me a fanboy. Coloccini is a world class defender, Tiote is a world class defensive midfielder and Ben Arfa is a world class playmaker. I don't think we have any other world class players but these are the three that cement us a good team. Once Ben Arfa rediscovers his top form and it will happen providing he has no major injury concerns we will be a far a better team because of it. I think Parky mentioned that Ben Arfa was/could be as good as Nasri. I disagree, I think he's better than Nasri or at least will prove to be when he returns to top form

it's the fact he enjoys it so much that pisses me off. And the fact he gets us all talking about him, I know it's counter-productive to even make this claim but if we had some sort of board solidarity to not get involved in debates with him regarding Jonas and Ben Arfa, now even Tiote, it would take away his evident troll enjoyment
