1. Well, the second half performance makes up for a less than clinical first half. Büttner had a great game, easily played well enough to keep Evra out of the team for a couple of the next few games. Maybe see Evra again against Liverpool where his experience could come in handy. I'd expect Büttner to start against Galatasaray and Newcastle in e League Cup.

    I hope Sunderland win this evening. It'd round of a relatively good day of football.
  2. Messi scored two goals again

  3. 61 goals in 45 matches in 2012, breaking his own record of 60 from 2010. Today 4 defenders walked around him, still he gets through. What a player.
  4. He wouldn't be scoring many against the likes of Stoke City, that's for sure

    In fact, just put Odemwingie in front of him.

    Evra HAS to play vs Liverpool, i loved watching him give shit to Suarez.
  6. Buttner should replace Willems in the Dutch squad.

    Here's the Odemwingie challenge from yesterday:

  8. can a team play all the matches away from its stadium? hehe
  9. Man Utd fans should be banned for Liverpool taunts - Joe Jordan
    Supporters involved in tasteless chants at football matches should be banned for life, according to former Manchester United player Joe Jordan.

    His comments came after a minority of United fans took part in anti-Liverpool taunts during the 4-0 win against Wigan, days after the report into the Hillsborough disaster was made public.

    The chants heard at Old Trafford included: "It's never your fault, it's never your fault, always the victims, it's never your fault."

    But the Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST) insisted they were not a reference to the Hillsborough tragedy.

    "Following this week's developments and release of revelatory information on the Hillsborough tragedy, MUST wishes to make it absolutely clear that, just as we condemn chants mocking the Munich air disaster, we also condemn any chants relating to Hillsborough, or indeed any other human tragedy," said MUST chief executive Duncan Drasdo.

    "We did hear the usual anti-Liverpool chants at the match today but we're pleased to say, despite some reports to the contrary, there was nothing that was specifically referencing Hillsborough."


    ------------

    It won't stop unfortunately. The chants are vile, but they'll continue in small pockets of each other's fanbase.
