Ashley Young still looks twice the player Di Maria is.

Smalling and Jones are clueless.

Every so often they have a really good game and you think they've got a chance to come good. They don't.

I love fat Ronaldo, but he's not close to C. Ronaldo or Messi, no one is.

They're miles above anyone else currently.

Real going for double figures against Granada.

4-0 at half time, 3 more within 10 minutes of the 2nd. 7-0.

Ronaldo has 4 including an 8 minute hat trick.

The difference is, there's no way in hell he deserves what he's being offered, never mind what he wants.

He's been average at best this season.

Coutinho's been far better and won't be on anything like that.

Liverpool came closer to winning the title last year than Arsenal have in the last decade.

They aren't any more likely to win it in the near future than Liverpool. How many years has it been since Arsenal have actually, realistically, challenged for a title?

It's not as big a deal as people are making out.

Would it have been as huge a shock if someone like Sweden beat them in a friendly?

There may be a hit at some point if large numbers of people move away from watching television.

They won't.

Apparently Netflix could be out of cash, with the huge Friends deal, and that's why they were nowhere near Seinfeld.

Can't actually believe Top Gear was still on, just assumed it ended 5 years ago.

You thought Top Gear ended? It's basically the most watched program in the world.

By Franck | On 26 March 2015 - 11:54 AM

I'm not sure Netflix would be that interested in "Top Gear", most of the show's value comes from licensing to other countries, Netflix has little market penetration in most of them, if their service is even available at all. "Top Gear" has much more value to producers following the normal TV model.

Netflix is available in most the countries that matter with the biggest markets. Having Top Gear exclusive on it would see their subscriptions go through the roof.

So we're at a stage where stamping on someone's leg, intentionally trying to injure them (and if it was not on a football pitch, would be classed as assault), carries half the suspension as spitting?

Imagine if this was outside of sport. Imagine someone getting a longer sentence for spitting at someone than stamping on their leg.

Di Maria really is a waste of space.

Loses the ball dribbling into nowhere, then just wanders off with no intent on getting it back.

I find it odd that people get longer bans for spitting than head-butting or elbowing someone.

Pretty sure Utd spent 150m this season, not 200m or 180m.

When you consider Liverpool spent 120m and Arsenal about 90m it's hardly ridiculous. Everyone knew there squad needed rebuilding and it would cost a fair bit.

Shaw will be a good signing and as said, potentially there left back for the next 10-15 years. 30m could be a bargain.

Rojo, Blind and Hererra have been decent signings and Di Maria has shown a lot but will just take a bit more time to get used to the league, injuries haven't helped him either. 10 assists and 3 goals in 16 starts is hardly terrible. Fucking awful at corners though.

Falcao being shit and RVP losing all form is what's hurt the most. The reason Van Gaal is getting more time than Moyes is that he inherited a squad that was fucked with no morale and has rebuilt it, I think people really underestimate how difficult it is to get so many new players (Almost all from overseas) to gel, it's going to take time. Moyes inherited a good squad that just won the league and he made no changes to it, you don't go from champions to shit in 3 months. It was his responsibility to get new players if he felt he needed them.

When I saw the team yesterday it was the first time in the last 12-18 months that I thought it actually looked strong. Given time and a consistent starting 11 it will come good.

Second half was somewhat better for us, obviously on the whole pretty dreadful. Di Maria was very good, Januzaj too I thought and McNair looked great.

Hopefully we'll start Wilson next game instead of Falcao or RVP.

Rooney upfront with Herrera in midfield is the obvious choice.

Doubt it though.

Wenger will probably come out later saying he almost signed him, as he has done with every half decent player around.

I don't know enough about rangers at the minute to comment, but are they actually going to play a lot? I'd have thought they have a decent team for the level already?

22m for Schurrle? How have Chelsea managed that?

So we've got the following on loan from Newcastle:

Gael Bigirimana
Haris Vuckic
Kevin Mbabu
Remie Streete
Shane Ferguson

Are any of them good?
