http://www.espnfc.com/blog/football-asia/153/post/2112016/aleksandar-durics-letter-thanks-singapore-for-the-memories Aleksandar Duric retires from his playing career with his final match this Friday, at the grand old age of 44. Canoeist at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, 16 clubs in five countries in a career spanning over two decades, while breaking records along the way. Legend. Hope he goes on to manage one of the clubs or gets involved with the national team in some capacity (he's a fitness coach atm).

His most staunch supporter. Rewarded him with that massive 8-year deal.

Is he invited for dinner though?

What a pointless transfer so far. Even Luuk got a chance to show he was crap. Facundo 'Unlucky' Ferreyra?

Wonder who would be injured only to make a miraculous recovery for Saturday.

...and they're never, ever pulled up about it. It's a stream of bullshit and it gets lapped up by the uninformed and lazy. Bet Rangers have got a load of fans like ours who just automatically believe everything they're told without even thinking to question it. The fact that thousands still turn up to watch them every week is testament to this. The same 'support the team not the regime' syndrome. The more 'loyal' the fans are, the louder Ashley laughs his way to the bank.

He shouldn't, he's been getting a kings ransom for being utterly gash for about 3 year. It's just the haggard beard, the way he's been stuck on that Villa bench for what seems like a century now, the way he waits fo rthat through ball that never comes once he does get on ... just tragic stuff man. Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke Didn't Carragher pick him out as one of the reasons Villa fans should be optimistic too? Living on his reputation despite being turboshit for several seasons. He would be here if Pardew had his way. Imagine.

rule, can't have more than 10% if you own another club anywhere. Not that it matters since its in no doubt whatsoever who's in charge there now They already changed the rules for him once What was the rule originally? 0% I believe. Upped to 10% for him.

Llambias at Rangers? How utterly predictable. Welcome to the dark side, Ranger fans.

Great. Nathan Dyer comes in with a point...

MUFC: De Gea, Rafael, Smalling, Rojo, Shaw, Blind, Fellaini, Januzaj, Di Maria, Mata, van Persie subs: Lindegaard, Blackett, Fletcher, Carrick, Herrera, A.Pereira, Wilson CFC: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry ©, Filipe Luis; Matic, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Drogba subs: Cech, Zouma, Ake, Mikel, Baker, Salah, Schurrle

Surprised Pardew didn't pick 6 subs as there is no way he will be brought on. http://i.imgur.com/YhBILmL.png So not playing that BlueStar erased him from the subs in the match thread.

No Tiote and Willo in the squad.

He's a Newcastle fan and has threatened to walkout before over how P45 plays the players he finds. When did that happen? The only time there was any news of him close to walking was when we appointed Jokin' Here.

Thought Keylor Navas would be Real's number one when he signed on. He's just wasting away on the bench now.

What a crap week. Losers - captain Aguero. Winners - captain Sanchez.

Did you see Tadic's goal in the 8-0 win?

Looking at Sanchez's reaction, I thought that was ruled out.

Eats Ronaldo's face Hope he has some fun with Pepe. v Exactly.

What got into their heads? They were supposed to stand there watching Hatem do his fancy tricks and runs so that they could blame any loss on him!
