Man U's club statement fwiw:

Goals scored.

He's injury-prone and at the end of his career. His departure will force Barca to find a proper replacement (or a midfielder-turned-defender ).

Coutinho to the right of Reina.

Agree. Only health issues will make him stop managing. The hip surgery at his advanced age could well be decisive in forcing him calling it a day.

Don't think so. Ashley is a businessman. He won't be so stupid as to put himself in the same situation as he did with sacking Souness, especially his philosophy is not to reward failure.

No but if Villa get beaten off Chelsea we are. actually depends on Wigan game vs Arsenal, we beat QPR and Wigan fail to beat Arsenal then we are safe no matter what happens final day We don't even have to care about the Arsenal-Wigan game. If we beat QPR and Villa get beat by Chelsea over the weekend, we are safe as those two cannot both overtake us (they meet on the last matchday). http://i.imgur.com/z5g1D27.png Chelsea in the hunt for CL spot. Win vs QPR on Sunday, we can pretend this cursed season never existed. Edit: Southampton, Norwich, Mackems will be watching Chelsea-Villa with interest as well. By the same reasoning, a Villa loss means Sunderland and Norwich need 2 points (Southampton 1 pt) in the remaining games to be guaranteed safety.

Wait, that face's jotenko. Brilliant.

5 goals in 12 games aside, have you seen him play? The guy won't look out of place playing for Spurs.

He's a doubt according to Dr Pardew.

At least Mbia is looking towards his holidays. http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1437892/mbia-unsure-qpr-future?cc=4716 http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1437557/stephane-mbia-denies-qpr-transfer-tweets?cc=4716

I'll be wary of Townsend besides the very obvious Remy. He has been doing well at QPR and I'm sure he will want to continue impressing before returning to Spurs. Then we have Jenas with a new contract to earn and an axe to grind. These player could just turn up specifically against us. Cesar would be another but luckily it seems QPR is adopting a long-term view with Green stepping in the last couple of games. Edit: Didn't know Jenas signed for a 18-month contract. Point about him being the bogey man still stands though.

like that. maybe cabaye to play deeper than anita? Fixed.

I expect sky writing above the DW stadium f*** me, i'm, already sacrificing my future happiness for you That might just be the highlight for a long time.

Shame they wasted the money in building a new stand with an excellent view instead of investing it in players. As it stands they won't be able to fill their stadium anywhere close to capacity.

Still haven't found a club even on a free?

General mood of this thread: http://i.imgur.com/bfBak4r.png http://i.imgur.com/EqIkOgz.png?1 http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1b3TCNkmF5w/TOuv17jsVbI/AAAAAAAAAoo/r73dRd-j9C0/s1600/stress.jpg

Sitting in our half minus the breakaway counters.

Not sure where you get the 'West Ham is a physical team, we struggle against them' idea from when we almost exclusively sit back half the time for all matches. We managed to do well against them in the first half and yet we can't deal with them so decided to drop back in the 2nd half apparently. It's not Pardew's fault that Ben Arfa the outlet was sacrificed for Shola the outlet and Cisse bumped off to the right wing, aye. We lack sufficient pace to be a counterattacking team. Pardew had the whole season to implement a plan B if he thinks Ben Arfa is his answer, and yet he has failed miserably. Pardew not to be blamed for that game when we should have gone for 3 pts and he settled for one ffs. That one point concept must be alien to Martinez.

Seems extraordinarily far-fetched, especially since 2 of the the main guys you'd want running into the box are Cabaye and Marveaux and they're either camped on the edge of their own box or sat on the bench when players such as Jonas and Tiote are on the pitch and further forward than Cabaye is. The West Ham game is a good example of this. First half, the players were committed, attacking and getting forward. 2nd half, we reverted to camping in our half shit-scared of conceding, handing the initiative over to West Ham. Cue a smiling Pardew. We have to ask why he is so happy that players are not running into the box when his gameplan apparently didn't ask for them to sit back. Someone must have missed the players making runs into the box in the first half. They are perfectly capable of it. It's a matter of being told to curb their instincts and told to defend at all costs like they did in the 2nd half.
