Change it, now. All I know is that there could be a **** load of goals in that game.

I have hit so few bankers that I forgot about the extra points.

He's straight, honest. And Xenu is real.

the extra bonus for hitting it multiple weeks in a row is so nice though

i know how you feel.

a lot of their games aren't even "for sure's" anymore though.

chelsea at home is

Yes, but you're yet to have plumbed the depths by scrapping it out with Marty for the wooden spoon. And I'm losing, despite a rousing fight-back in the last three weeks.

tbf Cashy made a good post a while back on why it'd better to go for the x3 rather than the x2. Also quite hard to pick one of the big threes actual result.

No one had Chelsea beating Fulham 1-0, did they.

Fair enough.

I think you have a better chance of getting a better score for 2x though. Easier to predict the outcome and result obv. You rarely get a minus score.

I've been watching a lot of Porto the last few weeks after it was reported in the Portuguese press that United have had a scout at every Porto game watching Hulk and I have been very impressed by him. Athletically he's very gifted, both strong and fast, he has a cannon of a left foot and his right isn't bad, and his technique/dribbling is also very good. The only question mark is I remember in the past his decision making has been very questionable, constantly shooting from ridiculous distances etc but in the six games I've watched (I still have another five games to watch on my laptop) it seems like he's improved on that as well. That said, not for United. The last thing we need is another right winger/wing forward and while he can play on the left he's clearly better on the right, cutting in onto his left foot.

Speaking of Porto, I already talked in Skype about their new manager Andre Villas Boas and how he is going to be a star. 33 years old, worked for Jose at Porto/Chelsea/Inter, saved Académica from relegation last year and now at Porto, with basically the same squad that finished third last year (sold Bruno Alves, Meireles, bought Moutinho) he is now top of the league with 9 wins and a draw, 25/4 goals, and in all comps has 16 wins, 2 draws, 0 losses while playing attractive attacking football. He's one to keep an eye on for sure.

Saw bits and pieces of them on Sunday night, they ripped Benfica apart in the 1st half.

This. In the City game an Arsenal player (can't remember who) lunged 2 footed at Tevez, fortunately it didn't connect but it was a disgraceful challenge. Arsenal fans do themselves no favours by pretending their players are angels.

Kron,

What did you make of Mancini's approach to last nights game?

Today's Evening News apparently had 11 pages on last night's derby. Impressive journalism to come up with that much about a terrible game

I don't really have a problem with it, he is always more cautious against the big teams and it was important not to lose that game. If he's still so cautious in one or two seasons time then it would concern me but at the moment he is still working with a team that haven't played together much.

The game was a dull spectacle admittedly, my only criticisms would be that Milner just doesn't produce enough attacking wise compared to Park for example and Adebayor should've been given 10 mins rather than the silly substitution in added time. I don't know if Balotelli would've started ahead of Milner, Mancini seems to like him a lot so there's a good chance he would've played if available and provided some entertainment.

However there's a lot to be said for building from the back, City have played Spurs, Chelsea, Liverpool (lol) and United already and kept clean sheets against them all which will do for me.

i'm sure i've done this 2 or 3 times already, look where it's got me.

Looks like Barton will get a 3 match ban.

Given his history on and off the field they should throw the book at the little horrible ****.

citys performance was awful, against a united team missing Giggs, Valencia and Rooney and with half the team recovering from the flu to play like they did was a joke.

If the situations where reversed and City came to OT missing Tevez, Silva and Milner they would get ass raped.

Tom Cleverley watch:

i've just signed him on loan for Celtic on FM, so i'll keep ya'll updated on how that's going

He was great in FM10 when I had him on loan at Watford

A more fitting punishment for Barton would be to watch Match of the Day on an endless loop, Clockwork Orange style

This is players who have been injured by a tackle. Not players who have gotten injured training / away on international duty / taking a sh*t / buying groceries

I think it's quite obvious since Arsenal have more than 3 players out injured.

He was great in my dream (this is an equally pointless statement). Always tilt when people say "I SIGNED HIM IN FM AND HE WAS GREAT"...

How does this matter at all :/

Someone up my dosage, myself and Turtle have just agreed twice on one page.
