Hell of a month isn't it. Henry's back at Arsenal and Scholes is back at United. City are pounded 3 -2. Deja vu.

Hell of a month isn't it. Henry's back at Arsenal and Scholes is back at United. City are pounded 3 -2. Deja vu.

I wouldn't exactly call it a pounding. It should've been. It should've been sweet revenge and more for the 6-1, but we were far too complacent in the second half. Don't get me wrong, Scholsey can probably still do a job for us, but to put a player who hasn't played for ages on in such an important game shows how complacent we were in that second half. Scholes is as rusty as the Titanic right now and it shows.

On Sunday, we had a great chance to really put the skids under City's season, but instead of that, they'll feel like it was a moral victory despite losing the match.

And Kompany's red card is sure to be overturned - that was one of the worst red cards I've ever seen. If it's not though, that'll mess City's midfield up. So you can guess what I'm hoping for.

I will be astonished if the red card is overturned.

After the tottenham game and the deby, Chris Foy should be dropped to the championship at minimum, but the FA's stance of backing refs no matter how terrible they have been is laughable.

If I was that bad at my job i'd be sacked.

Saying that, I am posting on here while at work, but nobody has noticed yet

I'll be astonished if the red card isn't overturned! Delighted, but astonished.

If Michael Uchebo joins Stoke, the team's going to be legendary in air.

Enough of rumours please.

Here are a couple of 'confirmed' transfers:

Reus -> Dortmund
Maxwell -> PSG

Dortmund are getting increasingly stronger now. They really look like being the long term title rivals to Bayern Munich.

I doubt it really. Maybe in short term, but in long term they will lose their stars. Gotze, Hummels and Subotic, probably more will definitely be gone within three years.

Maybe it's possible if they can find replacements, but having a better squad than Bayern for a long period of time, or even one close to Bayern for a long period of time will be unlikely IMO.

Robbie Keane has joined Aston Villa. I'm finding it puzzling, but a good move as it adds more firepower to Mcleish's attack.

Gilardino (Fiorentina) moves to Genoa for 8m euros. Has had a poor season thus far at Florence, netting only 2 goals, so hope this move clicks for him.

Other so called interesting transfers:

Marco Borriello (Roma) on loan to Juve.
Reyes's re-union at Seville from Atletico for 3.5m euros.

 

[Bevab]

Hoping to see Donovan score some goals for Everton and put them out of their striker misery.

----------

And Borriello's move to Juventus is not at all nice for him. Conte's is believed to be looking at Giovinco and with also better players in the waiting line ahead of him, why did he move to the Old Lady?

Gary Cahill set to complete ?23m move to Chelsea - ESPN Soccernet

Everton complete signing of Darron Gibson from Man United - ESPN Soccernet

 

[BKB1991]

Cahill is completing a 7M move that sees him earn 23M in 5 years. Thought I'd correct that

Good for Gibson, didnt feel he was good enough to play for United at any stage of his career

 

[Dr. Pepper]

When is a big club going to be linked with Steven Fletcher? Class player.

BBC Sport - QPR target Chris Samba hands in Rovers transfer request

He is good enough to play for any of man utd, man city, liverpool, arsenal, chelsea or spurs.

With Vidic out, SAF should seriously considering coping him.

 

[MasterBlaster76]

Yep, Samba's good in both penalty areas.
