For the life of me I can't understand how these fellas can't put in this kind of effort more consistently during the campaign.
They've been having injury problems and their squad ain't deep with talent.

Emmerson Boyce is the first name that comes to mind.

My biggest issue with him was, of course, how he treated Balotelli and also how he and ownership (I'm sure they had a lot to do with it, too) handled the Tevez situation.  To me, he made it a point to show up Balo from on the sidelines whenever Balo was perceived to have done anything wrong on the pitch, or say some sly shit (like the national team's coach did the other day) in the media. The general consensus was that Balo was a cancer in the locker room (which, when you consider that he was a young boy amongst a team of elite veterans, sounds stupid....to me, at least) and so they got rid of him and now he's happy in Italy, scoring goals for Milan that you have to wonder if little things like that might not be among the things that grinding at the owners' craw. It would at mines.  I think his style might be better suited to his own culture in Italy.

Men like Scholes represent the ending of an era of one club careers, at least clubs that play in the upper tiers of professional football. Scholes, Carragher and then Giggs, dont recall anybody else of note.

In modern day football there are no loyalties, only contracts.

 Yuh have to take that word,"Loyalty", with a grain of salt.  Most (if not all) of these clubs and their owners and board members are only loyal to profit and nothing else, no matter what you see and hear them say when the cameras are pointed at them.  Maybe when a club is now forming up in its embryonic stages and it takes local players from the neighbourhood to be club members and fill out the roster, yeah, but as the club itself gets bigger and its goals and objectives change, then the players are seen more and more as commodities and less of "club members".  Players have to go where their interests are best met and their futures are more secured, too.

I was out all day, reach home to see who win and is Wigan?
Bwahahahahahahahaaaa!

Great game by Wigan, City look slow and heavy-legged whole game.

On a side Note, I really wanted to give Gus Johnson a chance eh, but all he does do is shout. Ian Wright giggling after the goal was classic though.


  ....and he cyah even get the timing of his shouting correck....sometimes you wonder if Ian Wriight watching the game live and if Gus Johnson watching a 4-second delay.  Maybe he have Tourette's.
     People does find fault with Ian Wright but I actually like him.  He honest and straight to the point....sometimes he does need to get he eyes checked but I find he does a good job....but yes, it was rell kicks hearin' him ketch kicks off the goal....makes you wonder exactly what he was giggling about or who he was laughing at.
   :D

Them fellas does talk about other sports while the game going on lol. Ian is not secretly a United fan? Lol.  Yeah, Wright!  ::)  Allyuh bitches eh play allyuh desperate nuh! LMAO!


It makes Roberto Martinez look genius, compared to his counterpart
yesterday, who couldn't get it done with Inter, and now Man City.

  ....I feel Mancini poor man-management skills does get in the way of whatever tactical genius he is supposed to be. Nigel de Jong was sayin the other day that Mancini have a kinda corporate, chain-of-command, standoff-ish way about him.  Sometimes is them little things does make all the difference in getting men to really go out and buss dey ass fuh yuh.

Thank you, 'seeker, this was nothing less than I expected from Buffon.  He has always been a class act and always been the best of his time in my book.  :beermug:

136
Giggsy, maybe king jackass IS right, maybe he WILL improve. Ah now notice in trute he make a correction: Barca game he was pronouncing Villa name "Day-vid" but today he at least tried to pronounced Silva name "Dah-veed" the way it is supposed to be pronounced.

It is stupid to even suggest that Gus was "let go" from CBS.  Anybody who know anything about college basketball would tell you that for the 16 years he called college basketball he was the best announcer there was... bar none.  The two sides could not agree on a new contract and so he left for Fox Sports.  To suggest that he was some how "let go" over performance or style issues only shows that the two ah allyuh doh know what de ass allyuh talking about.  No surprise there.

  When your employer is happy with your work, they will pay you what you are worth.  "Gus" obviously felt his style and performances was worth more than what his employers felt they could have gotten from someone else.  I am sure there are tons of basketball fans that would disagree with your self-anointed opinion of your best friend....maybe He "can only get better" but your idiotic assertion that he actually will get better (when his style has not changed since he was in college) only shows how much you can't get enough of his johnson. Like I said, you wait for that upward curve. I suspect yuh waiting for an "upward curve" alright...no need to prostrate yourself to do that though...but no surprise there, either.

142
I agree with you, They pushed out Bobby McMahon on FSC news, he was their best analyst in my opinion. Gus Johnson suck!!

No need to disparage Gus because of how they treated McMahon, the two issues are not related.  McMahon's a studio analyst and Johnson's a game announcer so is not like he replaced McMahon.  I agree that firing McMahon was a mistake though... Gus needs work, but I'm sure he'll get better.

  If you think "Gus" will get better then you dumber than I think, you wait for that....like how people probably waited for jp delacamera (or however his name is spelt) to get better.  where was "Gus" working before he came to fox and why was he let go?

143
FSC is so much shit now.. good riddance.. they ruined the EPL and CL broadcast by bringing American panels and commentators on.. Gus Johnson was the turning point for me, absolutely ridiculous

I don't think that is true. This is America. Is their network. Is not friggin TT who will demure to all things foreign. . The broadcasts were great. At least the camera shots. That is the most important thing in broadcast sports.  I turned down the volume when I use to hear a lot of crap. Gus is not great, but I have heard worst. NBC and the Arabs have bigger  wallets at this time. Fox did not or could not match them. I am not a Murdoch fan, but that was his best product.

The camera shots might be the most important thing in sports, but, for most of us on this English-speaking side of Europe, that have gotten so used to having the English commentators be our only source of commentary, we liked the commentary, too....and it takes a whole lot to get used to the American style....to the point where it takes too much. You have to remember that this might be America where some of us live, but everybody else in the region is forced to endure them as well when Fox bought out all the rights for the region and they shafted their english-speaking customers, plain and simple.   I dunno who you could have heard that was worse than Gus Johnson...that was English....and/or not American but for me, the only setta commentators that are as bad as or worse than gus are the Americans. ALL OF THEM.....except Christopher Sullivan (who I don't really consider "American" anyway) and, for what he contributes to the pre and post game and occasional in-game analyses, I actually like Brian McBride. I mean, who really wants to have to turn down the volume on a Europa League semifinal because the assigned commentator (that has stuffed down our collective throats) does not know and has has to ask his partner analyst "what is width?"?....or during the FA Cup final now, when Ian Wright says "...mancity looks a little leggy to me..." and Johnson asks "what is "leggy", what does "leggy" mean?"  Really?!? And all this after he did such a butcher job on names and important information in both the Barca-Bayern and Chelsea-Basel matchups.  Gus needs to go, so, "goodbye, Gus". 

Back in the 90's there used to be a station/channel called "Fox Sports New York" or something to that effect....I presume it was under the same "fox" umbrella....they showed the '93 U-20 and U-17 World cups...won by Brazil and Ghana respectively. for a brief period they used to rotate seasons between French, Dutch and Portuguese football....I cyah remember what became of it and how it morphed into nothing but maybe they might want to check that out.  these executives underestimate how much in this America, the land of immigrant football junkies and with the swell of growing interest in the sport among its indigenous people, that a steady diet of football from all these different leagues is never too much for us.

3. Chelsea 37 21 9 7 73 38
4. Arsenal 36 19 10 7 67 36
5. Tottenham Hotspur 36 19 9 8 63 45

So de 4th place finish playing CL qualifying against who though ?





  against the other European teams that qualified similarly in their respective domestic leagues (2nd, 3rd or 4th place, where applicable, etc).....and other variable qualifying criteria...I thinks.

From day one up until now, Lampard has always been a class act.  Hopefully we could win a trophy on Wednesday and he could ride off into the sunset like Drogba.

Man U have set an example: you do not just let your most experienced players ride off into the sunset. You don't go from hero to zero overnight. He is currently the 6th highest goalscorer in the Prem this season and is more than capable of making a contribution next season.



  I totally agree that he still has something left in him and he should stay. As long as he first can accept that he can't be an everyday starter.  That was something that he was absolutely not willing to accept last year under AVB when he was actually struggling to score but (ironically) seems to be quite happy to accept this season under "rotatin' Rafa" now that he's back to his old self again...this season he has rediscovered his scoring foot again, in great part to doing what I was saying last year that he needed to do, which was, to find his shooting foot again...especially when it comes to what is his greatest asset to the team: his medium-range shooting. (ain't that something. ;)) Ironically, again, (according to the football experts that carried the game today) it's because of his alleged role in the perceived undermining of AVB's attempts to re-shape Chelsea into the "British Barca" that is seeing him to the exit door. If yuh find out sumting at next week's game, leh we know.

As impressive as his resume with Man Utd is, let's not forget what Sir Alex achieved in Scotland and in Europe with Aberdeen, breaking up the Old Firm duopoly in the process:



  ....was thinking the same thing all day. Truly remarkable what he did there in a short space of time.

Espn had a documentary about him. Even when the team won he still wasn't satisfied. Man was cussing while the players celebrating. Lol




  Yeah, that is that "win or else....there's the door" mentality....lettin dem know they couldn't rest on their laurels....all the players that talk about him talk about how much he demands of them and you could see it in their relentless play in their domestic play....is only when dey (or, should I say, "allyuh") come up against them European giants allyuh does boil dong like bahgie.  ;D

You mean when referees rob we.

  manu has never been robbed....not in England. Not in Europe.

No time to justify this man' s achievement to "buy a trophy" team supporters. 

  Teams can't buy trophies...they can only buy players and hire coaches to win trophies....Rumour has it that manu did their share of buying players just like everyone else but credit must and will always be given to them for having fergie as a constant.  His longevity will never be replicated...but I will wager that there are many more than 4 coaches out there that would achieve the same domestic results and maybe even three times as many more "trophies" (in more dominating and convincing styles) in Europe than fergie did.....with the same resources. (referees and FA in their back pocket included) 
;D I was surprised that you did not comment on that in your response earlier..it was a dig at Chelsea and Man.C lol.. Just saw on Sky that in all his years he has spent over 500 million on players, but after selling players as well, the net amount was in range of 250 million in all his years. That is not bad at all. I'll try to get the exact figures. Too lazy right now.

     :D Yuh lucky ah didn't see it at first otherwise yuh woulda end up sendin' dat bitch-ass moderator after meh!  I, too, saw the little piece on sky and I will say, he was the right man for that club, in the right place at the right time.  He is a no-nonsense man and with the club's legacy (whether we all see it in the same light or not) as his backing, I could see how he could start putting out feelers for talented players at various clubs and win the negotiation battles.  When you are a young or developing prospect and manu come knocking, I could see him saying "you can take our offer or leave it" and teams giving in to that.  If that is how he is, I agree I would want somebody like that laying down the policy for player purchase at my club.
