I can see them plumping up the cash for Demba Ba ( <£10m) if RVP leaves, but don't forget, they've already got Podolski on the way, apparently. |

Will Ba turn into Andy Carroll if that happens though? Personally, I think RvP stays. |

Ba comes from my team in Belgium. He could join City or Liverpool and I'd still love him. Best player that ever graced the Belgian pitches in my opinion. He was just something special. |

Andy Carroll is a lumbering oaf, but sometimes he looks good in the air....poor Everton. Too little too late for City. |

Manchester United have won the title more times than all the other teams in the league put together during my times following the EPL. they can fuck right off, boring cunts. Goal of the season... Crouch Coates Ben Arfa |

Agreed. Today's was less bad than last one though. Still, should cut the crap. On the other hand, how ridiculously good is this ginger guy in United's midfield. Arrived in January. Local kid I heard. |

 It's getting beyond a joke really. I've watched (parts of) 4 games today and in all 4 at least one crucial decision was given wrong. The Chelsea goal, the Young penalty and in Belgium some penalties given wrongly and some stonewall not given. Why are FIFA/UEFA refusing to do anything about it? It's crystal clear that it could be easily helped. Goal line technology is not that hard and even for penalties you can add the system like "flag on the play" (NFL) or "challenge" (tennis). It's ridiculous we rely purely on referees who will make mistakes and who will be influenced by god knows what (stadium, human feelings, human errors, money, pressure because of past errors, ...). |

You learn top cope with bad ref decisions when you watch football week in, week out. What is pathetic is continued favouritisim and cheating by Manchester United, the world's biggest bastards. |

Chalk the Tevez Yellow Card for diving up as a bad call too. The defender stepped on his foot. He had a nice goal right after that though so I'm guessing he was ok with that. I just don't understand why a replay official watching an official monitor is not used in every sport now. It makes no sense to expect a ref to see everything a series of cameras can catch. I'd rather have the calls be as close to correct as possible. |

P.S. Isn't it funny how United have the best all-English midfield in the league with Scholes & Carrick but that most likely neither is going to the Euro's where England will most likely once again flop big time? |

I'm not going to lie. had this gone in, I would have come. In fact, I already had and then saw it went wide.

We really need the points against the chavs now. It's Chelsea who will do the scum a favour by winning, not us. |

You are forgetting that they are both very much past it. They may be the best combination but I don't want to see them there because they won't be able to replicate it for England. There's a better question to ask - what would England's success levels have been over the past 15 years in international tournaments if Ryan 'incest' Giggs hadn't decided he was Welsh and wanted to waste his time playing for 3 million yodellers? |

Aaaah, the big urban myth that Giggs could have been an England player. Sorry, but that is wrong. Look it up. Quote: The reality is that our Ryan was born in Wales of Welsh parentage and has absolutely no English blood. So the option was never there…even though he did qualify for England Schools courtesy of being educated in Manchester. There is however one other country he could have represented … Sierra Leone. His grandfather is from there. |
