I would sell him twice for that.

Sick of his sulky face, piss poor attitude and inconsistency. He isn't worth £100k a week in wages unless he turns up every game and he blatently doesn't, United are bang on not giving him a pay raise based on the last 15 games, he sulked and didn't give a fuck about the results.

Thought this was a bloody fantastic piece:

I never knew United had such an Irish connection.

 

[Aoami]

Very interesting

 

[cHodAX]

Being born and living here all my life and having an Irish family I am well aware of the history but it was still worth the read for a few nuggets.

Sagna is starting on his exit strategy then Oh well no one is too big to sell. Although he is one of the best RB's in the league.

There is a real dearth of quality full backs around at the moment, Sagna is someone you should really try to hold on to.

I agree I would love him to stay, but Song has just shown how serious the club are about not being held to ransom. I rate him i really do but if he is saying shot like this despite being "desperate" to sign a new deal I have to believe he would of left in the summer had he not been injured and next summer sees him with 1 year left. But then i have a low opinion of footballers right now.

All this whine coming out la liga shortly after the higher rate tax changes, who would have thought

Also cesc is an idiot

The Ronaldo whine is due to the simple fact, his team mates think he is a c***. He never makes an effort with them to socialise etc and is more of a prima donna than Raul ever was, so its understandable he doesnt have a connection with them. Instead of trying to mend these bridges, he expects his team mates to do this, even though they have done nothing wrong and conesequently is just sulking at the moment.

England look good. Its always annoyed me how we so often struggle early on against these shit kicker teams, whilst the best teams beat them 6, 7, 8 -0. Heres to a few more goals.

Oxlade-Chamberlains looking tasty, him and Baines look good down the left, and Johnsons pass for the 2nd goal was an absolute beauty.

 

[Aoami]

the ox looks great, same can't be said for cleverley though

 

[Vladamir]

Pique you rascal

[CorNokZ]

That feel when Bendtner will never score a goal as good, nor as important, as that

Feels bad man..

 

[Shagrat]

nice, I bet he had a few drinks bought for him after that goal.

 

[Aoami]

Lallana called up for England! Highly unlikely he will get a game but delighted for him none the less. Saints through and through.

That's the best thing I've ever seen.

 

[cHodAX]

He always ends up getting bummed for some reason.

 

[Billargh]

Scrap that, what a beast goal from Cissé!

 

[Shagrat]

nice, thats some header

 

[cHodAX]

Awesome.

Marcotti is an ugly bastard.

 

[soze]

England really looking average through the middle here. It is good that some of the kids are getting a chance now. And I really hate Wellbeck for some reason the way he carries himself and ambles about, i am not a fan (this is in general not just tonight).

He isn't working hard enough at addressing the flaws in his game, that is what bugs the fuck out of me. His ball collection and retention is rotten at times, with his build and pace he should be dominating defenders and just isn't.
