I'd prefer to see a Welsh club (Swansea, obviously) in the Premiership if only to annoy the "this is England" types.

There's a 50% chance of it happening although there's a clause in the building contract of the Liberty Stadium that says Swansea must stuff up any good chance of promotion by either a) playing really well but failing to score or b) playing ok against decent opposition yet awful against poor teams.

Does City know that Swansea stole part of their code of ethics????

I always thought it would be impossible to hate a player more after they have left Liverpool, but Javier Mascherano has managed it. What an embarrassment he is, he should be ashamed of himself.

I've seen lots about this on FB - what did he do?

I've been reading up about him recently and his time spent at LFC was not quite as rosy as some people think. He was not a team player and didn't even participate in out of school golf etc so good riddance, the team has come on leaps and bounds since he and the other one left

My thoughts exactly, whilst Messi and to a lesser extent Tevez symbolise all that is good about Argentine football, Mascherano is a throw back to the past, Rattin would have been proud of him.

Take that challenge near the end, it was a 50/50 ball and he actually kicked the foot of the Madrid player with his toe yet writhed about on the floor holding his leg six inches above his ankle.

He was rolling around after every challenege made on him, then making a miraculous recovery in time to get up and shout at the ref telling him to book the Madrid player. It was just down right cheating most of the time, especially the challenge towards the end involving Diarra, where there was nothing else on his mind other than trying to get him sent off.

Its strange because i don't remember him doing anything similar whilst at Liverpool, it seems to be something hes picked up at Barca. I always thought he was supposed to be a 'hard-man' type player, obviously not.

Just saw it on the news the cheating barsteward

He had his moments iirc. Maxi Rodriguez did the same on his debut for us, he's just about getting into my good books now

Is Neuer crap and/or overrated now?

Dear City, we'll see your FA Cup final and raise you a Champion's League final

Shadow Demon UK · 04-05-2011, 22:11

3 finals in 4 years, not bad for a one man team/Fergusons worst ever United side....

Scary · 05-05-2011, 08:02

iadom · 05-05-2011, 09:55

It's not in the bag just yet

Don't jinx it.

Messi is great! Just to cover myself

Good win for Stoke today did us a massive favour, and now we (UTD) are beating Chelsea 2-0 inside of 30 minutes.

Good day so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!
