I remember the debacle that is the Asian Cup final and now this fancy gimmick. Maybe they should have air-conditioned vests for players next.

Add David Luiz. Both Suarez and him are good enough for Barca imo.

In a way he single-handedly dismantled the great Ajax team of 1995. Mental how many top players they lost on frees.

Just need to add Chubby Jason's Venom and we'll have a good team imo.

Well spotted. He's thicker than I thought if that IS a gun and he puts his guns together.

They really said that ? "Interesting", "Never seen this before".

Liverpool set pieces involving Carroll now just look like what we had. Clueless commentators saying they have never seen such a tactic before.

Gyan to do a reducer on Suarez for World Cup revenge, with both coming off with season-ending injuries.

Yeah why the thread title change? I thought it was just a simple 'Ryan Taylor' thread. Made me think which other NUFC there is.

Hypocrite that. Balotelli had probably learnt that high tackle from de Jong himself.

They should be looking to cross from wide areas or get free kicks and corners in dangerous areas instead of hoofing the ball direct from defence. Sadly Liverpool will be fine when they realise how to utilise him. I just hope it's nowhere soon.

This is like having to choose between Butt and Smith Absolutely right.

Had the effect of rival fans mocking him but that's all it is really. And he got the media shifting the focus from his players to him, which is probably what he wanted. Can see him with a smirk on his face now. Someone told me it applies to the dressing room as well, although I'm not sure if that's true. Read somewhere else that it applies to the dressing rooms only in Europe and not in the PL. It is an outdated rule, perhaps effective decades ago when there were no cellphones. Now it's near effortless sending a message to the bench that it's pretty much a useless rule.

How much will it affect the team selection and results though? Jose Mourinho has shown that you can circumvent the ban using wireless communication so can't see it as having any real impact.

Brilliant.

But that's because there are 2 clubs in Manchester and Liverpool? Or has Sunderland become a suburb of Newcastle?

Can't see what the fuss is about. Lehmann is clearly going back to Arsenal as a short-term back-up possibly til the end of the season as we did with Srnicek. Sure beats having a teenager on the bench. Although Arsenal is tight financially, Wenger should have made an exception and spent the cash on a really good goalkeeper. To say it's one of the most important position on the pitch is an understatement. Get a capable GK and he'll be settled for at least the next 10 years, possibly more.

No defenders on the bench for Man U. Guess they ran out.

Bless you.

Almunia, Sagna, Djourou, Koscielny, Gibbs, Denilson, Diaby, Wilshere, Nasri, Van Persie, Arshavin.

This is going to be interesting. Can't wait.

442? VDS Brown Smalling Vidic Evra Rafael O'Shea Gibson Fabio Rooney Hernandez

That lineup makes ours against Everton looks reasonable.
