He has God on his side.

None shall pass.

Kolarov - Clichy - Javi Garcia - Zabaleta

What a back 4

Surely a back 3. Which doesn't make any more sense. It's made up of 2 full backs and a midfielder.

Maicon, another defender, is about to come on.

Mancini.

Really poor performance, probably worst for 3 seasons. Don't even think Southampton played that well, they did alright, but we gifted them 2 goals and to some extent maybe even 3.

Clichy at CB... Why? He can't even play LB

Ask Mancini that, constantly plays Clichy on the left side of a back 3 when he uses it.

Because clichy is better defensively than going forward, Kolarov, Maicon and Zabaleta are their only players that are any good at being a wing-back

It's so stupid, I don't think Mancini gets it either because he would of bought someone like Asamoah and another CB if he was serious about this 3 at the back thing

When you're LB doesn't understand the offside trap I don't think it begins to matter if he's better defensively than attacking

On that note, Mancini's got to go. I don't for one second think he's a shit manager but he can't motivate a lot of the mercenaries and neither can the good guys.

His buying is awful too

Kompany passed the fitness test so I'm not sure why he didn't play and Nastasic has played good this season so not sure why he didn't play either.

I know, can't see why he tried it in the first place. Why try to implement such a massive change to the system that won you the title a few months earlier?

Add to that the fact it just doesn't work for them.

Think he's off in the summer anyway, hopefully Tevez is too.

Fred Done, the owner of Betfred is paying out already on a Man U title win. He did the same last year and we all saw what happened, cost him a fair bit. He also did it in 1998 and they lost that year too, to Arsenal. I really really hope it happens again but sadly I think the smug twat will be safe this time.

Why does he start paying out before it's official? What does he gain?

I can only assume it's because at the end of the season he will be paying out on a whole host of things like the winners of all the other leagues, the CL, the FA Cup etc and so will be paying out a lot in a short time period. By paying out a chunk now (as the most money will probably have been staked on the EPL winners) he reduces the hit he has to take in May.


Or maybe he's just a smug twat. I should have mentioned he's a Man U fan himself.

That makes him even more of a bellend.

Bale with another 89th minute goal. 3-2 Spurs. Fucking hell he is too good.

Nah I think he just does it for publicity. They should be able to plan for the hit in May easily, just keep the money they take in when the bets are made.

2-0 Spurs in the 40th minute.
