Stick as much money as you can afford on City to beat Everton. If they win you get a nice bit of cash. If you lose then it will be in our hands again. I don't mind losing money if it means the league's in our hands with two games to go.

I've already tried this as I'm notoriously good at losing money on bets. Didn't against Palace so will leave it.

Watching Juve vs Benfica and even without an English team playing Townsend manages to piss me off.

Two observations. 1) The lad we were looking at, Siqueira, is fucking rapid. 2) Pogba is mint.

[polymerpunkah]

Enjoying the match.

 

Refreshing to see two teams play the game, regardless of the score.

 

Minimal play-acting, time-wasting, simulation, etc.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Gutted for Pogba being offside there, even if I do much prefer Benfica.

[Faustus]

I like that Markovic lad from what I've seen of him.

[Faustus]

Just jinxed him there, didn't I?

Jinxes all round.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Caught a massive one in the face then.

[Wicket]

That's a harsh booking for the Benfica lad to miss the final from.

[JermainePennant]

I like clattenburg as a ref but where's the consistency, he books a player for a close hand ball while didn't when Rafael clearly handballed in the area against us.

 

Very harsh especially as it cost that player a final.

Taxi for Terry

Fish-fart.

I just noticed that Dirka Dirka won his first ever league with Fenerbache on the weekend. For a bloke that has put in the effort he has and the near misses for both club and country (along with a few domestic cups at least), one could only say it is well deserved!

That means he's fast, no? I watched more of the Sevilla-Valencia, is he (Siq) any good? 28 already.. Oh, and how did the GK from Benfica do, he's from my country, a great prospect at 21.

[skend04]

I'm very surprised Luisao has never moved on from Benfica, the guy is usually pretty immense whenever I've seen him play. Most impressive last night was Markovic, that lad had some engine.

[Josef Svejk]

Two really good games last night, with a lot of talent on show (especially in Turin).

 

United could have Pogba, if Ferguson wasn't such a monumental twat...

He's some muppet. Clueless, arrogant, Chelsea loving cunt.

Looked solid to me.  Made some good saves in very tricky conditions (wet, very wet) and didn't make any errors of note.

He had a shocker last night, but watch the praise at the weekend from Martin Tyler and the likes for how he did.

Hilarious that they've spent all this time and money looking around for a decent young central midfielder when they had Ravel Morisson and Pogba in their youth teams a few years ago.  The former might have been difficult to force to buckle down but the latter ... what a mistake that looks to be.  Rumours that PSG will make a bid for Pogba this summer in the area of 58 million.

[spider-neil]

Pogba is a disasterous call by Manu, worse than Pique and Pique was a really bad call.

[Hand Shandy]

Difficult to say that at the moment. Pique has won the lot, while Pogba is only just starting out.

 

Just looked - Pique's still only 27!

[DanDanShaw]

Refused to give a "greedy" Pogba £25,000 per week and allowed him to go on a free, but agreed to give Januzaj £40,000 to stop him doing the same haha.  You've got to laugh really.

[Hand Shandy]

They only did that after they saw what a colossal fuck up they'd made with Pogba.
