They need to buy some decent defenders, Leverkusen. They have a stud keeper in Leno and they shouldn't have to rely on their strong forwards to score 3-4 goals every game to win a game. Defense has just been shite for them.

Running rampant here, great to see us bounce back after a tough one!

Fuck off, prick though Blatter undoubtedly is, he's allowed to express an opinion. This is just Ronaldo being whiney.

Shut up you mong, he's allowed to express an opinion but obviously when it comes to a question like that and you're the president of FIFA, you definitely should be more cautious in giving an answer. If it involved one of your City players in that whole feud I'm sure you'll be unhappy.

Hardly an insult to say he's like a soldier on the field whilst Messi is like a goody-two-shoes. Ronaldo has come out on FB and Twitter and basically said how this shows how biased FIFA are against him and that he'll never win anything with Blatter there.

He also said Ronaldo has more expenses on his hairdresser, which is a joke but really no need to say it to the public especially in what is supposed to be a neutral position. He's certainly not paid to be the president of FIFA to say that he prefers Messi as well.

This whole Blatter-Ronaldo thing is fucking ridiculous. Totally blown out of proportion. Chap makes a joke and the world goes mad

He makes a joke but it's kinda like when you insult somebody and say that it was a joke after, which is really stupid to say. He probably didn't mean to insult Ronaldo but still there was no reason for him to say that.

Wow, did the refs ever fucking ruin that game. Some penalties were definite but they called like 8 straight on us but when the Sharks committed the same kinds of things we did to get penalties, the refs didn't call it. Fucking ridiculous, I hope the players and coaches publicly criticize them through the media.

I might have over-said stuff as I wrote that right after a nap... but still, all of that unreasonable stuff he says in that article would anger any sports fan.

Just hoping we put up a good fight against the Sharks tomorrow.

I'd argue with you, but Ryan Lambert at Puck Daddy already raised most of the points I'd bring up.

Basically, there's no point for the Flames to lose a contract year just to keep him up in a season where they will be a complete write-off.

I actually read that article a few days ago, and it's just pure bullshit.

I'm not saying Monahan shouldn't go back to junior, but the way this guy talks is bullshit. So he's basically saying that it's a waste to have Monahan up with the Flames because it'll "burn" a year of his contract while they will have another bad season? He says Calgary will be very far from the playoff picture, and supports it by only picking out the unimpressive stats we have. Yes, our goalies' SV% and team GA are concerns, but he does not emphasize the positives that have complemented our weaknesses. He's simply judging the Flames based on how they look on paper. I can agree that we don't have the strongest-looking team on paper, but it's pretty damn ridiculous to ignore the way we have played. I'm not saying we're looking like playoff team as it's too early in the season, but I'd say we're looking pretty good and there's a higher chance of getting better than getting worse. It's foolish not to be optimistic after a good start.

I don't like his use of stats regarding Monahan either. Yeah, Monahan is sheltered from strong lines (which he says might be the reason why he's producing those stats he has), but isn't that how it's done for most rookies? They have absolutely nothing to do with his notion that he should be sent back because Calgary will be a write-off. If that should be the case, the likes of Scheifele, Yakupov, Ristolainen, Barkov, Trouba, Nichuskin, Chiasson and many others should not be on their respective teams because they will be write-offs, and he should write identical articles regarding those players. But that's not the reason teams send their rookies down. It will have more positives than negatives if they get sent down, but it's a ridiculous statement that it should happen to prevent the burning of a year of their contracts because their team will be out of the playoff picture.

Whatever the case is for Monahan, I hope he stays. The Flames may have a bad season, but I truly believe it'll be important for him to cement his place in the organization as early as possible. Also, Ryan Lambert should really piss off as I could write about better things in a much better way.

The advanced stats people are pretty high on them this year as they are generating a ridiculous amount of shots compared to their opponents.

I could see it, mostly because they have ridiculous centre depth with Thornton, Couture and Pavelski.

That Matthew Nieto kid is pretty good too, the sick goal he scored last night vs Dallas when he flew by the defender.

The Flames should send Monahan back to junior.

He said in an interview that he doesn't want to go back to junior, so I doubt the management will do it against what he wants, and they know he deserves to follow his desires. Plus, his junior team is still struggling so even if he plays 25-30 minutes a game I don't think he'll benefit much opposed to the ~15 minutes a game he's getting in the NHL. Wouldn't hurt if he goes back, but he seems too mature to be referred to as a player that was rushed to the NHL.

Laviolette has been fired by the Flyers after only 3 games.

Deserves it, to be honest. Last season they were unimpressive as well, and change was necessary. With that team you really should be doing better, and one of the reasons why Bryzgalov shit the bed often last few seasons with them was because their defence was horrible.

Anderson needs to go. He is now an example of a failed United player and he's not going to get any better as long as he stays. He was given a chance to show something in that match against Palace but he failed miserably. He really should've been gone 2-3 years ago, he has done close to nothing here.

The biggest thing he did wrong was criticizing many of his players publicly. Any professional would fall out with a manager that openly bashes him, and I'm really not surprised to see him sacked this early. Even if he stayed for a month longer I wouldn't see things get much better, they are on a steep decline and a change was needed badly.

I think RDM would be a decent manager for them though, they've got a good enough squad to turn it around.

I'm pretty sure they mentioned he was filling in for someone who was injured, could be wrong though

Yeah you're right, Kadlec was preferred over Boenisch the last few seasons. His abilities really don't suit a starting place on a side like Leverkusen though. All season he has made runs up to join the attack but often destroys it with a bad cross or a shot from outside the box that floats up. Not a good defender too, slow-footed and just lanky.

EDIT: Nevermind, Kadlec moved to Fenerbache and Hosogai moved to Hertha, and they were both LBs. I don't know who else they would have as LB.

Surprising that Leverkusen don't have a better left-back than Boenisch. He's been used in every match for them so far, he frequently joins the attack yet can't shoot or cross, and the guy has been an automatic door all game and as a result Valencia is looking like a beast.

Apparently we missed out on Herrera because of €6 million, that's fucking ridiculous, fucking €6 million.

€6m is not a small amount though. United fans here were saying €36m for Herrera is the appropriate amount just because he's "a player that we need" but he's really not worth that much. It's stupid to overpay out of panic as we will be able to have a go at him in the future for a much more understandable price.

Although I'm thrilled to see Fellaini at United, we did overpay for him. Ridiculous set of behaviours from the United management, waiting until the last day to sort out everything, and this Woodward cunt needs to go. Why the fuck was he hired in the first place?

Good signing for Arsenal. Don't think they absolutely need a striker, I can see the likes of Giroud, Walcott, and Podolski improving significantly.

I'd be satisfied with only Fellaini coming. Herrera would have been a good addition but still, €36m is simply too high for him.

Only disappointed though in Woodward's actions during the transfer window, that cunt needs to go as soon as possible.

Don't know why Ozil would want to leave or Real would sell him, whichever the case is, he's still their best playmaker and he's going to start games consistently.

They don't need him do they? He's better off staying in Schalke to play every game, he's not going to develop in Arsenal.

S.Y. Ki on loan to Sunderland for a season. Apparently he wanted more playing time as Laudrup made it seem he'll play less, even though he was one of their best players last season. Laudrup seems to rate Shelvey higher than Ki, which is just idiotic.

Leverkusen is a tough one though. Their front line of Son, Kiessling, and Sam are looking pretty good, and they've got a real good young keeper in Leno.
