Utd dominated for most of the second half and extra time but in a toothless sort of fashion. Valencia actually started taking people on with five minutes to go and looked a different player. I really wish he would continue to play to this strengths

rooney is white

How is Gibson still at Utd, if it was gonna happen for him it would have by now. Pogba, Morrison etc are ones who still have a chance of progressing, then you had some squad players (Berba, Park, Rafael) but perhaps a few too many who fall between the two.

Actually scratch that, just saw the initial line up and most of the team are established squad/first team players.

I was complaining about that at half-time

Number None, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 22:31 (twelve years ago) link

How is Gibson still at Utd = waiting for lucrative contract when he leaves on a free next summer

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 22:32 (twelve years ago) link

Who's gonna pay him more than Utd have been? Steve Bruce hasn't got a job y'know.

pandemic, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 22:34 (twelve years ago) link

Well he didn't go to Sunderland because they wouldn't match his wage demands apparently :|

Number None, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 22:35 (twelve years ago) link

yah im not saying he has good reason to, but id guess that's what he is banking on.....

palace is my team of choice to root for when watching the football league show so obv i am made up.

Fuck!

pandemic, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 22:41 (twelve years ago) link

City will play their reserves, unfortunately their reserves are better than our first team. Oh well Championship team in the Final will be good.

pandemic, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 22:42 (twelve years ago) link

Couldn't care less right now tbh.

Chris, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 22:49 (twelve years ago) link

Pfft, you're forgetting we're just off the back of murdering City 1-1.

Chris's spirit died with Lucas

Number None, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 22:57 (twelve years ago) link

Totally. Just fed up with this 'we exist to win trophies' bullshit. Daft to play him v Chelsea, daft not to have adequate cover for him, daft not to manage him properly and daft to overrely on him.

Chris, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:00 (twelve years ago) link

I almost feel worse for you than Lucas. I wish Aquilani could come back to make everything better.

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:01 (twelve years ago) link

lol

Where's Christian Poulsen when ya need him?!

Psyched for Liverpool's-£20m-signing-Tiote's debut.

Igor Biscan has surely got nothing better to do. He can fill in.
xxp

pandemic, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:09 (twelve years ago) link

igor biscan was some legend on cm4 i'll tell the world

Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:10 (twelve years ago) link

Biscan's wonder goal at Fulham in 04/05 is one of my favourite football moments of all time. That 'wtf how did I do that' reaction afterwards was simply heartwarming. Just beautiful.

Chris, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:16 (twelve years ago) link

Guys, relax - Jonjo's coming back.

Actually think this could mean more of a central role for Henderson, who has improved a lot in the last few games. And Gerrard must get fit at some point?

Stevie T, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:28 (twelve years ago) link

Gerrard is done (allegedly)

Number None, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:30 (twelve years ago) link

I wonder whether Agger could do it? Otherwise Henderson's the way to go I reckon.

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:30 (twelve years ago) link

how good is martin kelly

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:31 (twelve years ago) link

Been reading up, and apparently fatigue does indeed have an impact on the damage done by even the most (seemingly) innocuous of challenges.

Thank God we don't have to listen to Bruce's faux-exasperated whinging about refereeing decisions in every single post match interview... for a while at least, he's the sort who always ends up with a job even tho he is shit and has never achieved anything. Wolves manager by the end of the season?

good shout, tho if i had to be i'd say villa

Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Thursday, 1 December 2011 10:14 (twelve years ago) link

Pardew has a bad couple matches, ol' Ashley trolls the fans once more.

big popppa hoy, Thursday, 1 December 2011 10:30 (twelve years ago) link

promise that i will refuse to watch Wolves so much as warm up for any length of time they spend with Bruce in charge

Julie Lagger, Thursday, 1 December 2011 11:30 (twelve years ago) link

warm up? None of that new age nonsense from a steve bruce team.

pandemic, Thursday, 1 December 2011 12:12 (twelve years ago) link

His teams warm up by pulling pained what-have-we-done-to-deserve-this expressions, shrugging shoulders, sighing deeply etc

There were more questions, like: “One thing you couldn’t live without?”

“My kids,” replied Speed. “I’ve got two at 14 and 12.”

The final question was: ‘What item do you cherish most?’ Sometimes footballers go onto auto-pilot in interviews. They talk clichés, niceties and nonsense. Speed paused for a good 30 seconds.

“Certainly nothing material,” he replied. “I don’t even know where my championship medal is from Leeds. So I’d say family. We’re an item and they mean everything to me.”

Don't know if this was linked yet, but FourFourTwo remembering Gary Speed

God, yeah. You can see how depression must be a thing for some ex-players, losing an all-encompassing way-of-life and with not much to look forward to, but his circumstances don't seem like that at all.

Ismael Klata, Thursday, 1 December 2011 14:07 (twelve years ago) link

tho that's really not how depression works either tbf
