Harry Redknapp has actually just said this about Malky Mackay: "He's not murdered anyone, he's not raped anyone, he's not a paedophile."

Redknapp is right?

People who have done far worse have got back in the game. Lee Hughes, Ched Evans, Marlon King, Nile Ranger, Ravel Morrison, Andy Carroll, Luke McCormick, Joey Barton etc. have all got back in.

"Vote on Corriere about whether it's a good move for Milan to sell Balotelli: 78% say yes."

Warning signs.

Also a bit surprised Rodgers has gained the reputation as someone who can get the best of his signings, Toure, Alberto, Aspas, Moses, Cissokho, Toure, Tiago Ilori, Yesil, Assaidi, Sahin and Borini have all been flops or not done as much as expected. Plus Sakho, Allen and Mignolet haven't exactly been big successes.

Arguably Coutinho and Sturridge have been his only real successes, and they were immediate successes.

Loads of Newcastle fans seem desperate to get rid of Steven Taylor (lacks concentration, injury prone, hasn't developed) and replace him with Micah Richards, in potentially the most grass is always greener signing of all time.

6 of the German U21 squad that won the 2009 World Cup, won the real cup. (Ozil, Khedira, Howedes, Boateng, Hummels, Neuer) And Schmelzer wold have went if fit.

8 of the England squad that got beat in the final have played for Sunderland. (Cattemole, Johnson, Rodwell, Fraizer Campbell, Gardner, Plus Onuoha and Rose on loan)

Gibbs, Walcott, Hart and Milner are the only players in that squad who I reckon have actually reached a high level.

Thought Riviere played well. He put himself about well, had good build up play and caused problems.

Hopefully he will add a goal threat when he plays against the weaker teams. And I suppose once he and the rest of the attack gets used to each other.

Good performance. Colback was excellent, and Janmaat, Riviere and Cabella all looked good. Quite nice to have Perez, Aarons and Obertan to come on with real pace. Quite a large attendance considering everyone cancelled their season tickets.

Christ - one game. We've played one game. We were awful, but the reactions are ridiculous.

It's more that the over hype of Van Gaal has been massive. It's hard not to enjoy it a bit. Especially when for the last 10minutes kicking to Fellaini and hopeless crosses seemed to be the tactic.

And that most Non-ManUtd fans feel that Moyes was scapegoated too much.

Jim White reckons we're signing Benetia.

Now I know his reputation is deservedly awful because hes such a goon on SSN but looking at his twitter timeline he's been spot on about absolutely everything he's said. It's crazy actually.

Sky people seem to be pretty accurate on Twitter.

Everton 2-2 Leicester has Everton 2-2 Norwich about it.

With Ulloa playing the role of Ricky van Wolfswinkel.

I watched West Brom 2-2 Sunderland. Pretty bad standard of play. West Brom gave away far too many freekicks around their own box. Their Belgian fullback looked good though. Sunderland looked no better than last year.

Can never understand why managers do what Poyet did today. Vergini and Jones were injured, so he moves his top CB (Brown) to RB and puts Roberge in the middle. Just play Roberge or Bridcutt at RB.

Southampton signing a top central winger there.

Stephen Kelly to Crystal Palace. Very surprised, thought he would be able to get a better club. Likewise Jack Cork who I heard was likely to go to Palace.

Sunderland signing another Newcastle fan in Will Buckley. THEY'RE OBSESSED.
