Basically these Chinese mother****ers come in and offer the players 20-30k to throw the match.

It's obvious because half the team play in the Salvadoran league and they're practically part time strawberry pickers.

So when they come back from the gold cup, they're buying new cars and moving out the huts they use to live in and moving into the area where the rich people of El Salvador live.

Footballers don't get paid much in el salvador. No funds. That's why it'll always be a disgraceful bum country.

In a way, I kind of understand why they take the money. They get paid fuvking peanuts so a quick buck is tempting.

But selling out your country is a bastard thing to do.

I had no idea the entire Salvadorian team was made up of Rockin's opponents.

Biggest news of the day - Mario Balotelli missed a penalty!

[Don Collazo]

It takes time for a team to gel when there are 14 new players, they desperately need points but time is running out for PDC. Hopefully Sunderland turns it around soon so we can all see Di Canio going nuts again in the sidelines.

And right after I typed that he got sacked smh.

You mean in America?

They don't deflect like a lot of the Cuban players do when their national team gets to play in America once every few years. I don't blame them though.

That Man U team is built for 4-3-3 if Moyes insists on mugging off Kagawa. I don't really think United have a real problem at the moment except the system being wrong. Whereas Chelsea have fundamental weaknesses in the middle of the park.

It is all well and good playing both Rooney and Van Persie centrally but there is a reason why Ferguson stopped doing it. Having the ball is only half the game.

Replace Young with Rooney and you get a less effective Rooney but a stronger Man U, imo. He is better than Young even on the left wing - he tracks back, his work rate is insane, he has great quality even in those positions.

---Cleverly-----Fellaini----------Carrick

Valencia-----------------------Rooney

------------Van Persie---------------

I mean to me that is just the team that one the league quite easily strengthened by Fellaini. That team would not lose 4-1.

There are slight problems with all the top teams. Once Arsenal face another top team who is strong on the counter attack I think they'll be in trouble even with Flamini there. Tottenham don't score enough goals and play a high line which could be breached by a good counter attacking team. Chelsea have a soft centre and three bad strikers and no cohesion. City are very beatable without Kompany. Man U have lost their fear factor without Fergie and an experienced defence to me is just looking a little old.

I think Chelsea will probably beat Arsenal and Spurs but drop a whole heap of points to determined bus parkers.

City are very beatable without Kompany.

I keep seeing people say this. I don't really see how it's a problem, wouldn't every team suffer without a key player? I think people are massively overblowing how bad we are when Kompany doesn't play anyway tbh, we're trying to implement a new system so there's always gonna be a bit of a bedding in period for the back 4.

Nastasic is a top CB who's only 20 and we've just bought experienced quality in Demichelis who has already excelled under Pellegrini at Malaga. Then Lescott who is more than capable. There's been a couple of games where we've had to play Garcia there because of injury problems and people are going mad over it.

Nastasic and Demichelis is a CB pairing I'd be comfortable going into any game with and keeping a clean sheet.

I don't understand why Richards is being left out of some of these games. I mean he is a bit cavalier for a centre half but he's better than playing Garcia out of position.

Don't think he's been fully fit tbh. He'll probably play against Wigan tomorrow and yeah I'd hope he'd be ahead of Garcia in the pecking order at CB for league/CL games.
