WTF was that noise Wilkins made just now?

That thing where one commentator says he'd be thinking about bringing X on, the co-commentator agrees that yeah, bringing X on is *exactly* what he was thinking about; then the camera cuts to the bench and lo, X is already stripped and standing in full view of the entire stadium.

that was p much a pen for stupidity hence justified

Andy Gray was the master of that xpost

gnev was enthusing about meirelles' run into the box for the goal when the nonentity brayed across him to note that d sturridge was english or w/e and gnev's look of sudden disgust was a1

Why oh why did we force Meireles out?

Arsenal look set to head into the hectic festive schedule with no recognised full-back after it was confirmed André Santos would be out of action for around three months with ligament damage to his right ankle.

The club revealed on Monday that the Brazil international – who had impressed in recent matches following his August transfer deadline move from Fenerbahce – was set to have surgery in his home country after sustaining the injury in what was effectively a meaningless final Champions League group game away against Olympiakos last week.

i mean

i have never seen so many fans of small indie clubs who are struggling along on the money they make from selling fan DVDs at their indie games as i have hating Man City in the last 6 months

Nando's clearly not good enough for Bendtner.

Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher is to take a break from football after being diagnosed with a chronic inflammatory bowel condition.

The Scottish international has made just eight Premier League appearances this term, scoring in the 6-1 defeat to Manchester City at Old Trafford.

He has not featured for the Red Devils since the 2-2 draw with Benfica in the Champions League on November 22.

"On behalf of Darren Fletcher, Manchester United wishes to announce that he is taking an extended break from football for health reasons," read a statement on the club's official website.

"Over the past year he has had several absence periods which we have attributed to a viral illness in order to respect his right to medical confidentiality. Darren has, in fact, been suffering from ulcerative colitis (a chronic inflammatory bowel condition) for some time preceding this.

"Whilst he was able to maintain remission of symptoms for a considerable period this has proved more difficult recently and Darren’s continued desire to play and his loyalty to both his club and country has probably compromised the chances of optimising his own health and fitness.

"He has therefore accepted medical advice to take an extended break from the demands of training and playing in order to afford the best chance possible of achieving full remission once again.

Shame. Hope he can get better.

That's rough. Hasn't been the same player for the last couple of seasons but that's pretty understandable in the circumstances. Now buy a bloody midfielder Fergie

hat's not even worth joking about. yet. genuinely like the guy, and utd badly need him.

makes the failure to buy a midfielder in the summer even more damning though. It's not like they haven't know about the extent of his illness for quite a while

very true
