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.

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 :|

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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.”

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.

I think it can be, but obviously that's not all there is to it. It's been recognised as a post-career thing in cricket for ages.
