Oh yea Coentrao, forgot about him.

Yea he's very good. But Marcelo has been one of the world's top LBs in recent years so he hasn't really been getting a game at Madrid.

I remember him being one of the standout stars at the World Cup in South Africa.

Levy can certainly do a deal.

Can't imagine why.

Can't imagine why.

According to Sky Sports News Anelka has walked out of training at West Brom and told club officials he's retiring! Make of that what you will...

[davulsukur]

His agent Died.

[John]

@SkySportsPeteO: Nicolas Anelka's representative Doug Pingisi denies player has retired: "No, Nicolas has not ended his career." #WBA

Sky sources correct? Ram raid if true!

@SkySportsNews: Sky Sources: Chelsea in advanced talks to sign Willian from Anzhi #SSN

Sunderland grab a goal earlier, free kick and looks like the Saints had NO one at the posts, bad goal to concede, unprofessional for Southampton.

[The Rover of Finland]

Some crazy desicions seen by new managers. Mata shouldn't play wide. He was lost there big time. Jose loves the idea of left footed playing on right but Mata is very different from Robben or di Maria. Fellaini shouldn't play deep in the middle. His place is closer the striker. Martinez wants to give a chance to break for Barkley but Fellaini was their top player and now playing wrong position. Wouldn't be surprised if he goes to Utd but Baines stays.

Everton, draws with Norwich and West Brom.

A few years ago, they started out slow too but once getting composure moved up but I've got to think if I were a fan, I would not be happy with those results. Next Cardiff, Chelsea and West Ham.

[Audax]

Cardiff actually beat City? Shocker. Chelsea too were fortunate from what I hear to get my Aston Villa midweek. So unfortunately, the best club out there is starting to look apparent.

I think I saw Tevez is playing for Juventus..

Joe Hart is dreadful.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

"If Mancini and I were still at City this year, Joe Hart would not be there. We made a choice to sign Stoke's Asmir Begović."

That's what David Platt apparently said earlier on Al Jazeera tv.

[DE.]

Hardly a surprise. Hart is an obvious weakness at City and indeed for England as well now. It's rare to see such a sudden dip in form that lasts for so long (Hart's been off for at least a year now).

Always been a flapper, masked by being a nice media friendly kid. Excellent shot stopper too although his kicking is also a bit suspect. Personally Id still have Friedel over any other PL keeper bar Cech, because he's very reliable and makes few errors, and organises defences very well.

[Guest Norbert]

Probably distracted by his itchy head.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Friedel, Mignolet and Begovic are the three standout keepers for me ahead of Cech, Vorm and Lloris. I'd even have Krul, Boruc. possibly De Gea, Stekelenburg (sp?) and Jasskalinen (sp?) ahead of him as well.

Baffling how he gets called the best in the world.

Not really when you consider the people saying it.

[Audax]

Craig Bellamy, captained for Cardiff vs. West Ham, don't know about yesterday's game but that 2005/06 was a very fine club alrighty for the Rovers.

Poured water on the referee yesterday. Other than that bit with Liverpool where it seems he had some trouble, believe they were in Spain or Portugal, he's been an asset to every club he's played with and the national team as well, played with Cardiff last year, you could almost wonder if he's a bit of a player-coach.

I know Finnish names are hard to write but that isn´t even close!

He's a football fan, not an ice hockey fan!

Esa Tikkanen, that was some player on the Gretzky Stanley Cup winners, at least one of those Cups:

I do apologise. Laziness on my part.

[Audax]

Finland's national football team is rather good, I know they have an impressive history vs. formidable opponents. I guess I didn't mean that the way it sounded. http://uk.soccerway.com/international/europe/wc-qualifying-europe/2014-brazil/1st-round/r15653/?ICID=SN_04_40 They have played Portugal and I think Denmark well. They drew Spain, looks like though, they have a bunch of draws.

At a bar on holiday in Ibiza watching man united vs Chelsea and the bias of some of their fans is unreal.

Shouting at Oscar to get up after Valencia smashed him. Bell whiffs.

The same as every other set of fans in the world. Ever.
