FRIDAY Football Thread
No more British teams left in the europa league as rangers lose, liverpool draw and city win but on the night but are all left reeling on aggregate. I guess rangers defeat was likely, but the others a bit more surprising, especially liverpool who were rubbish. King Kenny clearly has no faith in andy carroll's ability with the ball on the deck, with liverpool resorting to long ball straight away.
At eastlands, even the most blinkered of Man City fans (........) will struggle to argue the case for Balotelli's continued presence at the club. The guy's an utter tool (yeah, yeah, he's hilarious etc, except he really isn't). I bet mourinho couldn't believe his luck when city opened their cheque book for him last year. They probably would have won last night if it wasn't for him (and that's aside from his glaring miss), and fair play to Mancini for publicly slating him. He's apparently going to be dropped for the chelsea game. When you see the difference in attitude between him and tevez, it must drive city fans nuts. Delicious irony at De Jong coming out and criticising him as well...
Ferdinand's dead. Again.
UEFA give joe jordan a 1-match ban for getting strangled and head-butted by gattuso. There are no words to describe how inept UEFA are at times.
Sepp Blatter's role at FIFA under threat as the head of the Asian federation(?) will stand against him later this year. Fingers crossed.
Yesterday, there were no managerial sackings.
