Death From Above Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 BBC Sport was live tweeting and it just kept saying MISSED PENALTY over and over and I started wondering if it was some kind of bizarre gimmick where they moved back the spot or something.

Lazlo Woodbine Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The TalkSport phone-in has me in stitches already. "He(Moyes) wears a cardigan under his suit, he doesn't even have any style." said a man on the verge of tears. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Good day for schadenfreude. And City. Seen a few posts from United fans happy they didn't go through because they'd get smeared by us in the final. That's the spirit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewar Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 United are six points off a Champions League spot with 16 rounds to go, they have made the final 16 of the Champions League, and everyone is screaming for the manager's head because he's not going to win a title with a squad that clearly isn't as talented as some of the teams above him. They have missed their best two players for portions of the season, and are now missing them at the same time. Some chill pills need to be taken by the United followers. Besides, we all know Spurs will somehow finish fourth, and then those 7th place bullies United will win the Champions League to knock Spurs out of the competition for 2014/15 anyway.

Raziel Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Reports that United gave Chelsea 63 Million for Mata. Yeah, I can see this ending well finacially long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo Woodbine Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 For a second there, I thought you meant pounds sterling. $63M sounds about right to me, in absurd football terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Yeah, damn Fox Sports for reporting it in USD instead of GBP. 37 GBP is little higher than the reported asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo Woodbine Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I was just reading about the Euro 2016 qualifying seedings and such (the draw is on the 23rd of February) For some reason I thought the hosts had to qualify now, but it seems they will only be participating in the groups, playing but their matches will generate no points. The reasoning being that the host finds it difficult to arrange friendlies, says Platini. So France will be in the 5 team group. Mental. Also, Spain and Gibraltar will be kept apart, as will Armenia and Azerbaijan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Blue Sam Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Good luck tonight, Sky Blue Sam. Didn't repeat your heroics against Arsenal last season, but still pleased with my team last night. Think 4-0 flattered them a bit, we were in the ascendancy in the second half, but the big difference is they could bring Cazorla and Giroud off the bench (both of whom scored in the dying minutes), whilst our squad is so tiny we had to bring on our reserve right back up front towards the end. Massive respect to the Arsenal fans for applauding the fan protests last night. Unlikely we'll return to Coventry this season, but the media focus will do the Keep Cov In Cov movement no harm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 This gambling malarkey is a hell of an on again off again rush. I backed Blackburn vs Derby, both teams to score, and Derby equalised on 84 minutes. I've got a 10 and 6 match accumulator and barring last second goals (glued to the scores right now) everything seems to be coming in. If you have money on games, you become more concentrated on something than you ever have been in your life. Edit: If anybody has the smallest of interest: Bournemouth v LiverpoolLiverpool @ 1/3 Stevenage v EvertonEverton @ 2/7 Real Madrid v Granada|Real Madrid| @ 1/16 Sunderland v KidderminsterSunderland @ 1/4 Southampton v YeovilSouthampton @ 2/7 Manchester City v WatfordManchester City @ 1/10 Rushall Olympic v Barwell|Rushall Olympic| @ 8/13 Stourbridge v Biggleswade Town|Stourbridge| @ 4/7 Rangers v ArbroathRangers @ 1/14 Forest Green v ChesterForest Green @ 8/11 Luton v NuneatonLuton @ 4/9 Southampton v YeovilSouthampton @ 2/7 Bournemouth v LiverpoolLiverpool @ 1/3 Manchester City v WatfordManchester City @ 1/10 Leicester v MiddlesbroughLeicester @ 4/5 Blackburn v DerbyDraw @ 12/5 Second edit: NEVER bet on your own team, part of me (a big part of me) doesn't want Derby to score a last minute winner based on match 10.

SturmCRF Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 If only football matches ended after 59 minutes. For a while there I couldn't help but believe we might do something, once City scored the result was inevitable, but considering I would have been content with only losing 4-0 before the match, we did amazingly well. If we can just take that first half performance into the league, this season may have some life in it yet. Congrats Pete, I'll forgive you and your team for tearing my guts out if we get to say we went 2-0 up at the Quadruple winners by May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
