Yeah, ITV really need to tone down their bias and support of the British sides. I don't want commentators to sound like fanboys.

I mean, a really sizeable proportion will want the British side to lose anyway.

An organised protest tomorrow, from 'fans groups'. Still can't work out what they're protesting. They just keep using the word ambition, and pretending Newcastle used to be good.

"Ashley is showing no ambition and is willing to settle for top ten and no cups." - Newcastle haven't won a domestic cup since the 50's and have had four final defeats since - finishing those seasons in 13th or 15th. And in the past 50 years, Newcastle have finished in the top ten, 15 times.

Have you just picked those players at random?

I honestly can't see how you're trying to link them.

I mean your points fair enough, but I think its just because we see a lot more of those players and often peoples criticism of United players is very lazy, cliched or uninformed. Everyone's got an opinion on a United player whether they really watch us or not.

They've all been criticised at some point, for not being 'Man Utd quality'. I get the impression that happened at least.

I think it comes with the territory as well, Man Utd are a lot bigger club and people generally want to see them fail more than other clubs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wrote out a 23 but it was practically identical to Dutton's

Only points I would make is if Smalling or Jones are going then England might be better off taking an extra winger rather than Kyle Walker.

No one is really right about Welbeck. Man Utd fans way overrate him and everyone else underrates him.

This. With every Manchester United player who isn't world class or doesn't make an immediate impact. I think it's a mix of a inferiority complex other fans feel towards Manchester United, and a lot of Man Utd fans trying to prove their not glory seekers.

Man Utd start playing Welbeck/Jones/Smalling/Rafael/Cleverly/Gibson/Carrick/De Gea/Fletcher

Non-Man Utd fans "He's not Manchester United quality"

Man Utd fans overcompensate - "Well, ACTUALLY his contribution is vital...."

It sorta makes sense though. Northern Ireland can sit back and have absolutely no pressure to do anything other than stop Russia/Portugal/bigger nations from scoring, where as Luxembourg/smaller nations will do the same to Northern Ireland.

His reluctance to shoot complements Townsend and Sturridge nicely.

I like Welbeck though, and can't really think of anyone I'd rather have instead of him.

Hahaha. "It's not cheating, cus the developers should've picked it up."

Exploiting a flaw in the system of a game, clearly breaking the guided path and rules the game has set for you.
Isn't that like.. the definition of cheating?

Define 'English'.

It's ignorant at the least, xenophobic at its worst. Januzaj won't play for England anyway, so that's irrelevant.

I assume he was gutted during the olympics when the Somalian Mo Farah won all of those golds as well.

He's a cretin.

In fact lets go further, how about the Ivory Coast born Wilfred Zaha? Jamaican born Raheem Sterling? Belgium born Bradley Wiggins? Chris Froome?

Let's go even further;

Jack Wilshere - "I''m a white supremacist, who believes in a racially pure England national team. Ain't no black in the Union Jack."

Bored of the whole outraged xenophobic thing. Oliver Kay was suggesting that people don't want Januzaj to play for England because he has a a foreign name ffs.

I thought one of the Brighton players took a shit in the away dressing room. Poyet sent a 'rant' email to the staff, and the Brighton board suspended and sacked him.

It seemed to me that Brighton were sick of him and used his 'rant' as an excuse.

Why are you writing off Spurs? If you consider Arsenal and Liverpool as contenders then Spurs should be as well?

I find it interesting how Arsenal have regressed five points from the corresponding fixtures from last year.
