There's a big difference between somebody like Jesé or Sterling being on there (young and inexperienced, but clearly a lot of potential) and somebody like Shelvey being there - he's very average.

It's got feck all to do with Liverpool.

Then you see the Rooney's chop tackle on Mata (I think), which brought on the freekick and goal for Mata not given a yellow. Yet, something like Torres going to ground when a clear foul is had gets booked for diving.

Without singling out any particular foul, Wayne Rooney is absurdly lucky when it comes to picking up bookings.

I missed the late Boca surge while taking a dump, it was pretty entertaining for a while. Ponzio thought he was god for the rest of the first half after he scored from his free kick.

Wasn't as good as when they got relegated though, that was real entertainment,

Argieball's always entertaining for a good fight or two.

Didn't Mancini sign a new long-term deal last season?

A 5-year deal. It'd be a £20m+ payout if he was fired this season. He'll have to seriously fuck up for that to happen.

If Mancini leaves/gets sacked/resigns at the end of the season, I am certain we'll get Guardiola. I'm in no way convinced he's going to leave, though. Neither Sheikh Mansour nor Khaldoon have the Abramovich-esque trigger-happy style.

I'm delighted about the appointment of Begiristain, though, the less Marwood has to do with our transfer-dealing the better.

Manchester City appoint Txiki Begiristain as director of football

Interesting. Although apparently this restructuring of player recruitment and youth policy is costing upwards of £200m, which makes me sad.

I think most of that £200m includes the massive new training and academy complex, so you shouldn't be too sad.

Goal.com are claiming we're on the verge of appointing Txiki Begiristain as Technical Director, presumably in place of Brian Marwood.
