Manchester City set sights on AC Milan star Andrea Pirlo | Mail Online
If Pirlo where to really ever leave Milan. I reckon Chelsea would get him more than City, given that Ancelotti is their.

Having looked around, I've only really found that story on goal.com and tribalfootball. Two hugely unreliable sources that do just make stuff up. Even if Man City are interested in him (highly unlikely), there's no chance Barca and Madrid can be.
Look who's back. 
BBC - Roy Hodgson named new manager of West Brom
A good choice for West Brom.
Looking forward to the Manchester derby tomorrow. Just hope it's not as boring as the one at Eastlands in November.

Newcastle United Plan ?5m Swoop for Liverpool Playmaker | CaughtOffside
Might be the best choice for him i reckon. Since i really dont seeing him getting much first team games for Liverpool when they are full-strength.

What an absolutely vital win that was for us - not just because it was over one of our close challengers, but also because it followed the end of a long unbeaten run and after such a run, it's so easy to lose the next one and the next; I remember after Arsenal's long unbeaten run, after their defeat to us, the skids were well and truly put under them.
Smalling was great - I reckon Vidic/Ferdinand + Smalling is the way to go when either of the top two are out. Evans seems a bit out of his depth at the moment.
Mike Summerbee was making me laugh. I have to say, I've never seen a guest on Sky Sports that was such a perfect fit for the expression 'sick as a parrot' after a game - it was hilarious. And did anyone notice how he kept bleating on about City being beaten by a spectacular goal, without one word about the Jammy Dodger that was City's equaliser? Boy, was he pissed.
As for Mr Rooney, well what can you say? Only the World Class player can do that sort of thing - absolutely unbelievable! That will surely give him the confidence now to go on from there.
Back to Mr Summerbee for a minute - yes, City have caught up but what's this guff that they're where they 'deserve' to be?? Not to mention hardly a word about the exorbitant amounts of money they've spent to get there. Before this takeover, City were nowhere, as everyone knows. They weren't regular Europe challengers, they weren't top four contenders & they were a million miles away from winning the league; on the contrary, they were regularly fighting relegation. If someone could explain how that makes them 'deserving' of being in their current position, that would be nice. As I've said before, prior to their takeover, Chelsea were hammering loudly at the door as well as picking up quite a few Cups. Can't say the same about City.
Either way, the situation won't be like this for too much longer - sooner or later, the right offer will come along and Man Utd will once again be in their rightful position, as a club who can afford as well as attract the very best players. The way I see it, there's no smoke without fire and although Utd are denying it right now, this Qatar Royal family takeover keeps rearing its head; I very much doubt if Utd will allow themselves to be left far behind financially forever. So enjoy it while you can, City - and then be concerned with how to catch us when we can perform like this while not having your financial resources.
As to the City fans calling our ground a 'shithole' and that they want to go home, well off you go then.

Thankfully it wasn't - but then again at Eastlands, it was all about only one team actually trying to win the game. Agreed about WBA - as is currently being backed up by the current score in their game.

Just came here to make 3 points :
1. Glen Johnson = SCUM !
2. No Agger , no defence for Pool
3. Except for the Suarez free kick , can someone tell me what Liverpool were upto regarding set piece situations ?? Heights of Complacency !

If it weren't for the goals, then it might have been another dull game because it was certainly looking that way already before Nani scored the first goal.
As for West Bromwich, well, a good choice but they are Arsenal this weekend. 3-0 at HT and 3-3 at FT.

Arsenal won as well - looks like our game with them at the Emirates could go a long way to deciding this year's title. Mind you, we've still got Chelsea home and away and Liverpool away, as well as the Arsenal game. It's not over yet, not by a long way.

Incredible goal from Rooney. Very entertaining game, both teams had spells of excellence but Utd were more clinical. Silva, Toure, Kompany, Smalling, Giggs, Scholes and Nani all had brilliant games. Smalling was very assured and composed on the ball - looks a similar player to Rio, which is a very good sign.
Precisely. Except Man City, the other teams did not pick up all 3 points in their next league game after beating us. It's not a big deal and just thought it was an interesting stat.
And you do really like the part where Agger elbowed Torres last weekend don't you?

Fernando Torres' exit?from Liverpool leaves bitter taste - Sid Lowe - SI.com
All Liverpool fans should read that. Completely objective, and gives great insight into the Torres transfer. Long but worth it.
