PICTURE THEFT!

Was impressive how the snipers bullet that hit Bellamy was disguised as a coin. I can honestly say I've never been hit by anything that made me roll around on the floor like that. Bellamy is a horrible toad and I'm not going to come on here showing mock outrage or sorrow about it, I cheered like 80% of the ground when he went down. Good to see City fans now have United's debt to sing about along with Munich. Will start worrying when they are singing about things that actually happen on the pitch.

Got to be the most boring transfer window ever, what happened to all the deals we were supposed to be seeing, with City 'flexing their muscles'. Has anyone signed anyone apart from a few irrelevant loan deals for the basement dwellers?

First coach loads of City fans I saw last night were from coach companies based in Cheltenham, Hazel Grove, Heywood, Blackpool and Preston.

I suppose with 9,000 fans, every single one of them coming from places with Manchester postcodes, they would have to have had coaches shipped in from all over the country wouldn't they????

Adam Teese, 26, of Nelstrop Road North, Heaton Chapel, Greater Manchester, is accused of "throwing a missile on to the pitch" during the Carling Cup semi-final, police said.

Given his address, maybe he was a City fan in the United end who went a little too far in trying to disguise his Blue leanings? Surprised that the bottle of Magner's being lobbed at Bellamy hasn't been mentioned yet.

Do you not want football players to show emotions?

"Well done ol' chap" *shakes his hand* then they trot back to the centre circle to re-start the match. Scoring a goal is the best feeling in the world as a footballer...let them go berserk.

My beef with letting the other team start while their opposition is in their half wouldn't be allowed to happen at the start of either half so why a referee would allow it to happen after a goal would be ludicrous.

I'm not saying that i would like it to happen, but it would be a way for referee to get there way to prevent over the top celebrations. I was asking the simple question of wether it was allowed to happen as i was told it was on Soccer AM not too long and did happen.

Algeria ended today's semi final with just 8 men left on the pitch against Egypt. With the goalkeeper only getting a yellow for headbutting the ref!

I doubt teams will splash out £15m + in the last few days The big spending will probably wait until the summer.
