We have been very blessed to have him in our ranks. Wasn't at his best, quite udnerstandably for a season or two after his injury but it really bugs me how he is never mentioned when people talk about the top 3, or even 5 keepers in the world. Undisputedly been the best keeper in the prem this season, the only keeper who comes near to him in the league is Joe Hart and along with the likes of Buffoon and Neuer is one of the 3 best keepers in the world. (Iker would be there but been so long since Jose let him play)

Always rated Dzeko very highly starting back at his days as a Wolfsburg player. It is really hard for any City striker to shine with the constant rotation. Look how well Balotelli has performed since he moved to Milan and became their main man. However... City wont let him go to a title rival for anything less than well above what he is worth

Lets get Courtious out on loan to a premier league club next season and see how he handles the many rigours of the premier league before making any hasty decisions. havent seen any of the higlights from the final but apparently it was spectacular

He played a big part in our cup run last year and he played a big part in it this year. He has every right to be in his kit. Demba was wearing a suit but thats because he took no part in our run at all. His only participation in the Europa League was for Newcastle

Would not mind him here at all. He is a very intelligent player, doesnt mind sacrificing himself and if you stick him as the main man he will put them in the net. Dont really like him as a human being, then again I felt the same way about Cole at Arsenal... I think Rooney would work really well with the three playmakers behind him and wouldnt be surprised if he got upwards of 25 league goals with us if he is to come. As long as its not stupid money, and by that im talking 25mil or less then im all for it.

Benitez will be out of work in the summer, maybe thats the whole plan. They love him at Old Trafford

Should the worse happen and jose were to go to Madrid there is still no way that Benitez would stay on. There had been talk that Roman was almost choosing Pellgirini over Jose as it was. I think Moyes taking over at United makes a lot of sense and espicially one or two season with Fergie working closely with him, something I dont believe Mourinho would be prepared to do

holy crap its happened. Hate him but there arent many people in this world i respect as much as him. A truly incredible man

Scratch that last comment, just found the original thread and saw I put us down for a draw with Spuds and Everton. Watch me fall even further off the pace

My lack of faith in getting a win at OT has hurt me dearly. Luckily the fact that we won at OT is enough to cheer me up. Watch me take it out in the last 3

If Wigan beat Swansea, then Norwich are going down in my books. Unlike Wigan they contribute very little to the league so really wouldn't be bothered

Mccarthy the reading goalkeeper. A position we really dont need to strengthen considering we have two of the worlds finest. Doing my absolute best not to comment on Roman Emporer's post as I still have a feeling it may be someone on a wind up. As for Lewandowski, outside of the champions league i havent seen much of him play but from everything i read he has a great all round game to go with solid finishing and could be a player that works very well with our attacking mids. Cheaper than Falcoa and younger, wouldnt be complaining although I also wouldnt be complaining if we land Falcoa

Just seen episode 4. Credit to them they got Theon's back on track. Also Arya's isn't too different. Locations are slightly off but following the story reasonably well

Read all the books. seen three episodes of the new season. Loving it as far as a show goes, slightly concerned with how they are differing from the plot of the books with a few storylines, most notably Theons. Season one they absolutely nailed it, plot was very consistent with the book, second season went way off on a few things just hoping they keep it more in line throughout this season.

Don't really think you can compare us to Bayern unfortunately. Despite us having some amazing talents they are leagues ahead. Been reasonably sceptical on Lewandowski but partly due to not having watched enough of the bundesliga. Take away all four of his goals today and he still had a fantastic match. Great at linking up, works defensively and is just an immense talent.

Only real question about this is what colour suit should Juan wear when he collects the award? The man is a genius. The term is thrown around in football far too much these days but is completely justified when talking about our magical number ten.

Just about to post this!! Crazy, can't get my head around it. Firstly why on earth would Dortmund announce this now right before the biggest game of their season?? Second how have Dortmund allowed this to happen? Third what Bayern players are going to get shown the door? There are a few (muller, kroos) I wouldn't mind us getting our hands on.

Absolutely love the kit. Not optimistic about our away kit for the sole reason that nothing they do will come close to the masterpiece that we have had this season. Ever since the monstrosity of a kit we wore in 09/10 we have been nailing these year in year out

Toure situation is completely different. He is an older player at a top club already. Schurrle is a very talented youngster looking to take the next step in his career and move to a bigger club. Completely agree with your initial point Davey and something I moan about quite a lot.

Matches like this I really miss not having the giant Ivorian up front. Seven consecutive FA cup matches at Wembley he scored a goal and you just know it would be eight if he were spearheading us today. Anyway something along the lines of: ---------------Cech --Cezar--Ivan--JT--Bertrand --------Mikel----Lamps --Oscar---Mata-----Eden ----------Ba It will be Luiz in for JT however and i'm guessing rami in instead of lamps. COYB!!!

I can dismiss those rumours as a load of crap straight away by the fact that there is absolutely no way AVB would get the Madrid job. Has taken a team that finished 4th last year to most likely finishing out of the CL spots this season.

I realised that, but just had to get Fellaini in there no matter what and its not necessarily a DM role

That really is a great story. What a class act our Jose is. Especially love the part "when you are with me you don't pay for sh*t." I can just picture him saying that. What is pretty special is two CL crowns and as many semi final appearances as Sir Alex Ferguson in well under half the time

I'm not too sure about Shawcross. Granted I watch sweet F all of Stoke due to rather poking my eyes with a sharp metal pole but I think players like Jagelkia, Agger or Ashley Williams. Also due to my huge dislike of all things Man United will do my best not to include Carrick in there. ----------------------Begovic ----------------------------------------------------- --Zabaleta--Vertongen--Williams--Baines-- ----------------------------------------------------- ----------Dembele--------Fellaini--------------- ----------------------------------------------------- -----Mata-------------Suarez------------Bale-- ---------------------------------------------------- ------------------RVP--------------------------- I know it's a bit crazy only having one United player in there considering they are sprinting away with the league but back in 09/10 i'm pretty sure we only had two players in there so screw it. Also just could not manage to fit Michu in there despite him being the absolute man and having an incredible season. Was also really struggling with my keeper and tossing up between petr, lloris, begovic, mignolet but ended up going for begovic as he has put up some big numbers for my fantasy

Barca scrape through the first knockout round and very undeservedly scrape their way through the quarter final. Must say i'm very happy we didn't sign Lavezzi, has his moments but seems far too inconsistent and I think my opinion of him has been somewhat enhanced by the quite majestic performance he had against us in that diabolical first leg in Napoli. As for Barca they amount of players I cant stand in their team is just crazy: Busquets, Alves, Alba, Pique, Pedro, Mascherano, Fabregas......
