Will probably watch the Liverpool game tonight (until they go 2-0 up or something and it's no longer a contest). It is good to have them back in the CL.

yeah what a goal.....im very disappointment thats Ex-hammer Diame scored against West Ham!


It was a poor goal to give away, it wasn't a good idea to throw the ball infield although I do think the player (forgot who it was) should have made sure he met the ball before Diame. Instead of waiting for the ball to get to him.

Good game between Hull and West Ham tonight. Gonna catch up with all the goals in a sec but saw Valencia's, cracking strike.

Napoli aren't looking too good. The two performances (if you can call them that) v Bilbao and then yesterday don't make good reading for Benitez and he could be coming under pressure soon.

Game and a half tonight, Parma 4-5 Milan. Including an excellent Jeremy Menez backheel goal. Always did really like him at Roma.

QPR may as well have stayed on the team bus. Martin Tyler was also painful to listen to today.

I thought Rooney played well but hey ho.


One pass he did not long from the end was absolutely top drawer. But today was the kind of game he can ping those around, 3-0 up at HT at home against a poor team.

Great win at home to Wigan today we struggled in the first half and they were the better side and Ramis missed a penalty for them! Second half we were much better Marshall scored 2 worldies! Carson should have saved Rhodes header. And Varney could have got a couple for us! Overall I think a draw would have been fair but I am delighted with a win. Not happy that we have conceded our 4th penalty of the season though and again this one was very dubious.


We did well yesterday. Agree about their penalty, he didn't half throw himself to the floor, we still need to be careful in the box though 'cos 4 penalties already is too much. Apart from the penalty though, they were better first half and we couldn't have complained if they were 1-0 up at the break.

Second half though was a completely different story! Getting the equaliser so soon after they took the lead was key. Decent strike from Marshall although not as good as his second one which was excellent! Another goal for Rhodes too who I thought also played really well in his general play. Yesterday was my first home game since Burnley due to uni at the end of last season and holidays at the start of this season, and it was noticeable that Rhodes looked better and stronger.

Gestede probably wasn't 100% fit but was actually growing into the game when he got subbed, and even Varney did well and looked lively! So fair play to him. And bring on Wednesday v Derby.

Assuming he goes soon, which I hope he does for your sake, who would you all want to come in?

Seen Bruce linked. Moyes too and he'd definitely join you and try, he'd be so determined to rebuild his reputation. Pulis as well, and you can guarantee he'd do at least steady the ship and do a decent job.

Rodgers has had a nightmare against Villa at home since he went to Liverpool. One draw and two defeats.

Arsenal playing well. Welbeck unlucky when he hit the post, thought it was in when it left his boot.

And there we go! 1-0 City.

^ You'll beat the Faroes, and that'll give you 6 points from 6 which I bet hasn't happened for a while, but yeah it'll still be tough to qualify.

Even though Wales barely scraped past Andorra, it was a very good night for them - I still highly doubt they'll qualify but Bosnia losing in the other game was good news.

Sounds like Hodgson is feeling a bit of pressure.

I'm not that bothered about what he said about the two shots on target, plenty of other managers would roll out similar comments, but saying that the opponents in England's qualifying group will be the reason why Wembley will be half empty every game is poor. If England had a team that the country could get excited about, or that were at least good to watch, Wembley would be full every game - regardless of the opponents.

Also it was disappointing to read him say that for Monday's game "England may turn into Norway" (or something similar, they'd just been discussing Norway's defensive approach). How are we supposed to progress when the manager has got that attitude? Switzerland are decent enough, but let them worry about us.

Good to see a lot of articles in papers today about how the team should be built around Sterling, agree completely.

I had no idea Shearer was even a candidate, let alone the early favourite, after Sir Bobby was sacked

Hull had a good day today. We'll have to see about Abel Hernandez but Ben Arfa, Diame and Gaston Ramirez should all do well.

And you've got him somehow at a bargain price.


What would you value him at, Ninja?

Why didn't Madrid just get Falcao? Instead of Hernandez from United...who in turn get Falcao?

Thought him going to Madrid was pretty much nailed on not long ago.

Good start for Roma last night, 2-0 at home to Fiorentina. Empoli away next and then it's Champions League time.

Happy for Pippo Inzaghi, good start beating Lazio 3-1 at home.

The Chicharito one is a strange one. He's good enough to be starting every week at a good club. He'll just be going from United's bench to Madrid's now.

Remy will probably play a bit more at Chelsea than Chicharito will at Madrid, but again he could easily be first choice somewhere else.

Correct penalty decision, he could have stayed on his feet sure but you can't put your arm out like that.

Cracking goal from Moreno.

I went to Wolves away today and it was really poor today. Gestede was injured but we should have still gone 2 up front as Rhodes struggles on his own. We defended poorly as well and Dicko and Sako were very good. Shame we conceded when we did though as we were getting back into it


Only seen the very brief highlights on the FLS but it looked, and sounded from other comments, awful. So predictable too, not good signs at all and the defence needs sorting ASAP.

I hope Cleverly goes to Valencia. More English players need to go abroad.


How good is Shane Duffy, Deano? Think we're signing him permanently.

Edit - just seen he's only played 5 times for Everton, so you may not know how good he is!

Cleverley should get out to Valencia if he has the chance. New league, fresh start, better team (than Villa, if that's his other option), and possibly a style of football more suited to him?

The first England squad permanently without any of the Golden Generation...


Rooney probably counts as one of the 'Golden Generation', he was at the 2004 and 2006 tournaments.

Jack Colback and Fabian Delph in the centre of England's midfield. How we have fallen.


+1.

Nothing personal against them two, but the lack of English talent around at the moment is pretty depressing. No wonder the Norway game will be empty.

How Celtic fans must miss the days of Larsson, Sutton, Hartson, Petrov etc with O'Neill as manager. The current lot they have are dire.

That would be mental.
