I wonder if Redknapp will call out Hazard for being a fcking cheat like Monk did about Moses

 

[Mumorn]

Sandro was superb today, great to see

 

[markysimmo]

You have to love the media, Hazard cheated and dived 100%, yet BBC and Sky both fail to mention that fact

If Southampton finish 8th after losing highly thought of Poch and half the team, mostly their best players, then that's a fantastic season.

No they wont. Southampton fans are as fickle as all the rest. The problem with a brilliant start is that the only way is down !

Come,they are still Southampton and had a summer of upheaval after which everyone including saints fans thought they would go down. 8th will be more than acceptable.

I agree............that what they "should" feel. But we all know thats not how it works. Look at the history of the premier league and how many managers over achieve to get a "small" club promoted from the championship into the premier league. Its all forgotton by christmas when this newly promoted team is in the relegation zone and the fans are calling for their head. Look at Laudrup at Swansea - wins them their first major trophey in their history and the following season they want him out.

Success and over achieving is quickly forgotten by the fans. Just look at us for a prime example.

They are ahead of last season, especially when you compare fixture by fixture, but after their next two games it gets a lot harder.

Which is the most expensive team?

 

[Jordinho]

MCFC: 800k, 8m, 20m, 4m, 7m, 13m, 26m, 18m, 19m, 23m, 40m = ~180m

MUFC: 18m, 17m, 7m, 18m, 33m, 15m, 29m, 500k, 33m, 66m, 27m = ~265m

Daley Blind is the player many on here seem to think Capoue is.

We need a player exactly of his ilk in midfield.

I think Blind is too slow actually.

 

[Mumorn]

Blind has been diabolical so far, but I've seen enough to know he'd have been a good signing for us. Stambouli is better.

 

[Rorschach]

Two stupid yellows from smalling.

 

[Jordinho]

Another day, another incompetent ref.

 

[JerusalemMan]

BBC Feed has just said something similar to what I was going to post here - and still shall.
The serious questions must keep being asked of Van Gaal that they can have spent so much money and end up playing Emirates Marketing Project with Carrick and Valencia in their back 4.

 

[Jordinho]

Tyler and Neville spent most of the half talking about City's problems.

really?

 

[Jordinho]

Not a pen.

 

[shaney]

Wish our players were brave enough to throw themselves into full blooded tackles like that !
