Another 3 or 4 mercenaries quit Manchester City today and instruct their agents to take them to warmer climates.

Rodwell to United is nailed on unfortunately.....As for Feilaini, his dad is currently slating Everton something rotten, which indicates all is not well in the relationship between club and player...Its definitely the first move by the player's reps to instigate a summer move.

Just because Fellaini's Dad came out and said he was played when injured doesn't at all say anything about the relationship between club and player. In fact Fellaini has since came out himself and said that this wasn't the case and he was fit to play against Sunderland. He doesn't seem unhappy at the minute and hasn't been any signs he wants out. Like Moyes, unless someone comes in for him I don't see him leaving - however it does worry me that a Pienaar type situation could arise next January time.

Not could be, definitely will be.....The noises have already started emanating which will lead to Fellaini's departure.

He will be followed by Rodwell's sale to Old Trafford, and then inevitably Heitinga and Baines leaving for more ambitious sides.....Moyes, if he has any ambition will follow, leaving the club in a real mess.

At the moment, I just pray they are still in the Premier League come August, because, if not, we are another Sheffield Wednesday waiting to happen, big club, lots of fans, no money, no idea....

I don't see how you can say it definately will be, I'm not convinced anyone will leave yet. It's a possibility we could lose players in the summer but I wouldn't go as far as nailed on. Rodwell signed a new five year contract not too long ago so I can't see why he'd be off, unless the books are desperate and going by the last lot of figures they're not. I don't see Moyes going unless a job comes up at a financially better off/stable club.

Nani=Fani

Think Rafael was lucky there

Spineless/pathetic/inept/lacklustre, choose any word you like and that will sum up utd's first half performance. Dreadful attempt at defending the first goal & WTF Nani was doing for the 2nd god only knows.

Carragher should have walked for that tackle IMO, way too high & looks like he's set out to "do" him.

He was lucky as well you're right.

good job half time came, the game was about to explode, ref could have given two reds in stoppage time
interesting second half ahead

Carragher - straight red. Lucky we didn't see another snapped leg on live TV.

Rafael, took studs high in his hip and then went in low & 2 footed but not contact - probably a yellow.

Despite what the pundits are saying I thought United had slightly the better of the ball in that half, the two goals were, for me, just against the run of play. Can see a red or two before today is out.

Overall - another example of why football is an embarrassment at times, and why I love RL so much.

Loving this.

Re: Football Chat Thread : Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:05 pm  

Worst performance from united all year. Dreadful. Yes Carragher could've / shouldve walked, but we were not up for this today. Liverpool have played us off he park. This is as bad as it gets for this lot.
