Against Man City last night Rooney played an excellent game, he was certainly the only ManUre player who gave everything he had all the time he was on the pitch and he created most of their action in front of goal, including their goal. Joe Hart must have had a good laugh at Bravo's display though ...

First squad and promises that everything is going to be different but ends up playing 8 of the 11 that played the last game and we stumble over the line to a boring 1-0 win. Please - I've heard it all before. I didn't see MUCH wrong with the team, it was the tactics in the Euro's that baffled me ...

I've always seen Rooney's future for England and ManUre as that played so well by Paul Scholes.

They have the same attributes and ability to score from outside the box.

If I were Scholes i'd be offended by that comparison.

What is it about Rooney?
It's almost seems like mangers feel obliged to play him.
Even Mourinho's using him in the midfield when it's obvious to most he is neutral at best in that role.

Although 'The Special One' has had great success at every club he's been at I have some doubts about his true ability. He never stays very long wherever he goes and always goes to big clubs who can afford to buy the players he demands. Both times at Chelski he bought big, won some trophies and then ...

The players look like they have real belief in Sarri's plan and Hamsik is now showing his real quality not just in fits and spurts

Higuain is just lethal

Napoli were a step above us, it was a very poor performance by Juve. Napoli need to take that form into Europe . More importantly we need to keep taking that form into Serie A. Its difficult to take the Europa League seriously before the semi's & you see the Champions League carrot dangling.

Midweek draws making it all the more important.

Girls are so complicated :?

Just couldn't beat the Ukrainian powerhouse Dnipro... (although Napoli had a case for both goals which went against them)

You said it...not me.

Regardless of that we were terrible & have been for some time now.

#ForcaBarca

Win all 3 of the remaining matches & we have nothing to worry about & if were true to form it's only Cesena will we have to worry about.

I know & failing that i'm left hoping Juve fall, preferably to Madrid but if not then a loss in the final would be fine...possibly even better.

Guys been there for five minutes.

Nice to win this morning, great game if you were a neutral Juve dominated the opening 20 mins but Napoli deserved their equaliser and dominated the second half, Higuain and Tevez are monsters. Buffon's save in extra time from Higuain was unbelievable. Marchisio and Vidal were missing, Pogba very ...

2-0 up vs Palermo and now vs Cagliari and draw 3-3 AT HOME no wonder the locals are restless Benitez needs to have a good think He's a cup coach not a league coach. :roll: Just conceded 3 away goals in the 'cup' The problem is bigger than Rafa - lack of quality, lack of investment, 3rd should be ...

I hear women are ugly in england, so maybe they're just biding their time.

Shit food too.

Last match day Italian football was finished. Today Arsenal drop their bundle at the Emirates to Anderlecht no less & Liverpool are celebrating a respectful loss in a game where they'd conceded defeat before it had started. Happy for you that Arsenal's stuff up this morning against 5 time Euro ...

Value of having a world class player, looks like a keeper playing out of his skin will keep a clean sheet but then moment of brilliance opens the game up. 32m bargain, probably best player in the league. Yes better than Costa and Aguero IMO. His workrate is ridiculous, reminds me a lot of Suarez ...

Sure he does, next stop will be somewhere with no pressure and he'll look like a world beater again. Liverpool didn't buy a world beater. Balo was average in his time at Milan and woeful at the World cup. Would it be fair to say it was more a panic type buy? It seems Rodgers had all this money and ...

Serie A should get 1 CL spot? A one team league? All this after 1 game? Clearly the only league you watch is the Premier an the odd CL highlights package. How 'bout 2 games? Italian football is irrelevant. Looks like Napoli has run its course too Napoli & success don't necessarily go hand in hand ...

I guess Roma fans would know what it feels like to be a Brazilian fan after that WC semi against Germany.......... :shock: :oops: Not good enough to be getting a guaranteed spot in the CL any more. Serie A only has one team in it now, not sure why that's happened, but to win the league by 17 points ...

Napoli, birthplace of my parents.

It's not been easy but it's worth the pain.

From camo to denim.

oh my.

Heard on the BBC World Service that Gibraltar had only just been approved last month to enter the European qualifiers after the objections from Spain were finally dismissed by EUFA's & FIFA's hierarchy. So how many divs in the Gibraltan league? Imagine, being virtually (a part of) world champions ...

The cause of it all?

Nobody, least of all Sir Alex ever stopped & thought about life after Sir Alex.

A massive failing for a club of Man Utd's stature .

Looked good last night. Should have had a goal or 2 but he has a presence on the game After seeing how lazy he was at the world cup, it was good to see him back in defence helping the team out. What did you expect on his first day at the office? With Balo it's not so much about what he does today ...
