fantastic match

Del Potro magnificent to take this to a final set when he was facing 2 match points against him

djokovic is too strong for del potro in 5th set, I think

I stick with my call 4 hours ago... Del Potro to win 😀

I agree Demi it was great match, maybe second of all time. What kind of points and what kind of shots an tension and turn around. Great match

now Rooney is staying, yes

Do they need anyone else? Fergie has built a great squad.

I think they need a winger

Only???

was kinda hopingto see Ronny come back, if only to see his eyewatering FPL price! Theirry Henry was the highest ever at 14m I think, so could Ronny have gone to 15m? :O

thiago yes. In the future we need a LB so maybe. I also think we should get get rid of get a decent winger (who can also play in the hole) and sell one of Young or Nani.

I haven't seen it but I believe it Fifa

Gabbidon is terrible. Mirallas over Kagawa.

gabbidon?

Taylor so.... 😀

Kags > Mirillas + Gabbidon > Lovren??

Plus one! Theyre always outstanding.

Yes. Have to give a big thumbs up to the quality.

Not just the articles but the site structure in general. Plus all of the new tools.

Excellent value for the freebie and especially for 12 1/2 quid.

Best spent money of the year for me.

mid july sometimes. Settle will ya 🙂

19th

They want a 15% pay rise
They claim for food and drink
They claim for travel expenses
They claim for second homes
They claim for decorating
They claim for gardening
They claim for furniture
They claim for office stationary
They claim for council tax
They claim for house hold bills
They will claim for anything they can

I think you'll be wanting fantasy political expenses scout. There's off topic and there's way off topic.

do you think Zaha will get games this year?

I think Vidic and Rio still have a good season in them. Looks good.

I think this is better.

.......................DDG

DDG
Rafael Vidic Evans Baines
Jones
Carrick Thiago
Valencia Kagawa
RVP

Would love that with baines and kagawa partnership similar to baines and piennar, and Rooney GTFO!

Nani? he'll be gone!

replace nani with Zaha or Valencia

anybody know?

i think so but it has gone quiet

I reckon they are thinking a happy, settled Rooney will return to having a big impact and being less inclined to going in the huff. He is a quality player so they should at least try to resolve things.

thats my problem with Rooney, he throws tantrums to get more money. Ok all footballers won't money but the way Rooney goes about it is disgraceful. I think we should sell Rooney and Nani and buy a winger who can play in the hole as well, as well as signing Thiago. We do need a new LB, but that can wait as i don't think Baines is the best option. He is 28 and too attacking minded.

how dare you to suport serbs?

i cheer against them in any sport

cmon Murray stop that coocky serb you can do it

true but he has been going downhill a bit like Torres. If he can find his form he can come good.

Rooney is the best player in EPL after Suarez

shame that people couldn't see football with my eyes

he is miles ahed of RVP in every aspect of football game

no he will play behind RVP. However that means Kags on the wing, and in that position Kags is wasted. Kags imo would play better in the hole.

ANYONE???

He said it was disrespectful and it wasnt his style to comment on players contracted by other clubs. Also said MUFC would always look to sign the best players. Absolutely no Thiago questions which is odd, may have been banned but don't know:)

fantastic match...

Stopped reading at "Marca".

😀

Someone posted a few days ago about the difference in the number of English coaches and elite coaches compared to Spain/Italy/Germany. The difference is staggering.

Wouldn't quite agree with that. The likes of Gerrard and Lampard were World Class players during their prime. 2004-2008.. Yes, they could not work together as a part of the same midfield. Rooney on his day is World Class too. No two ways about it. Very few strikers in modern day football are as versatile as him.

When it comes to international tournaments, England always seem to fall short because of the lack of flexibility and fluidity. 4-5-1 with the likes of Milner and A.Young would never work. Carrick is developing into a fantastic player as well. Just that all of the players never perform at their best at the same time.

The Italian and Spanish leagues, in this regard are at an advantage. Most of their national team members play together week in week out. A pattern is developing in Germany (and was arguably there) with the likes of Bayern and Dortmund. Another thing that England lack. That's not to say that individually English players are far behind the rest

It's complex...but just taking one of your points..."Do you think PL teams need to work on growing young English talent, instead of buying talent from other countries?"...The PL teams get a bit of an unfair criticism for this...Never in the history of the game have clubs looked at so many youth players and spent as much money funding training as they do right now...Just about every club (?) has academies and youth set up and scouting networks looking around the country week in and week out (I live in the NW and my son has regular visits with his team).....So if you accept that it's not the amount of "work" that prem clubs put into developing youth then it must be the quality of the coaching...see SW6's reply....The numbers given were quite staggering...

hope so... have 50 quid on that bet

Go on then Forca I'll bite

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Perry

Didn't he also play football?

Your women could beat most men tbf....

yeah let's do it

murray is brilliant defensive and taktical player

just like i like

i had several fights over him in Croatia cause i've been saying people in last 6 months that he is the best player on planet

somone need to stop Djoko!!

He's Scottish and he is also British. English are also British...

Who are schotcs?

Novak is doing really well. You must be proud.

Because there are no great English tennis players.
England in sports such as tennis, resemble New Zealand in rugby, in that they adopt they sportsmen of smaller local countries and attempt to make them their own.. more so the media than the authorities in Englands case.
But it's mostly the media, the British media (in my opinion) is vile.

another promising young talent about to be ruined

Looks like we won't be seeing him for a while then....

Big link 😳 but it works

Format messed up

..............De Gea

Rafael Vidic Ferd/Evans Evra

........Thiago/Stroot/Carrick

Valencia.......................Bale

..................Kags

.............RVP & Lewo

Is Redmond any good? Could you compare him to a current PL player please?

Tettey and Johnson in the middle

You can probably swap Hoolahan out for Toivanen
