i figured whoever got dortmund was going to the hardest group

also, i still hate the league cup

As United fan I like the league cup because it gives our fringe players opportunity, but as a football fan I agree it's a pain in the arse really. Bigger teams don't take it seriously and sturggling teams have to deal with it when they have more important things to worry about, like position in their respective leagues.

Let them have him.  He offered to play for free for United and they were smart enough to know that his medical bills alone will cost £35k per week.

He was fine in training multiple times and couldn't go more 20 mins in real competition.

(though, if he is healthy, Spurs is a better fit and I'm taking down the poster that hangs above my bed)

Meh.....If United released him he's free to play for whoever he wants so no hard feelings on my part.

I do think it's a waste of time. The bloke obviously has knees that aren't up to this level of use anymore. He should go the Gary Neville route and become a really good panelist.

City will probably get a handful of games out of him...just hope they bench him against Stoke or he'll be finished.

I still say Drogba dived though!!!!!!  ;)

This was my tweet from the weekend:

For all the times I've seen Drogba fake death on the pitch, this time I really think he might have done it.

I had to chuckle that the goalie poked him to see if he was faking it as usual...then his own fucking team mate came up and did the same!!!

He bounced very nicely though. I'll give him that....

Hargreaves is a trending topic on twitter (Baltimore) - must be a slow news day

"At Milan airport and just spotted Sneijder and two men get through security check... I am an Inter fan and sadly I am not lying."

Hmmmmmm......is Fergie pulling a last minute deal or did City step up to his 300k quid a week demands?

They're an ugly team so he just raised the bar in the looks dept. on the bench.

Wenger still spending money like it's his own.....TIGHT ARSE!

I'd be beyond pissed at this point if I was an gooner .
