Biding time in the office before beer o'clock tbh. Everyone else has gone home but I'm just watching the F1.

Well in Lewis!

A bit of a crammed 17 days coming up. This is why having 2 weeks off for internationals is a joke. And this is also why United (like Liverpool last year) will benefit from not being in the Champs League and League Cup.

A troublesome list that !

I haven't seen a thing written about Fernando's apparent groin injury. I'm hoping he'll be fit soon. With that fixture list it would be helpful to have both Fernando and Fernandinho healthy.

Absolutely Jelly. I think we'll need everyone fit, including the tea lady.

Mind you it seems the Mickey Mousers are the ones suffering the most at the moment.

Yeah. It's absolutely bonkers. The FA aren't exactly helping any of the teams who play in Europe.

In fairness you can put out a team of reserves against the Owls that's still worth more than their entire club and playing staff.

[Bredbury Blue]

Exciting times eh...

We've come a long way quickly, 10 years ago KK was manager, and first 11 was:

James

Mills...Dunney...Distin...Thatcher/Jordan

SWP...Bosvelt...Barton...Sibierski

Fowler...Anelka

Of that team (and how they performed at that time) I reckon only James SWP and Anelka would compete for a first 11 position, and Dunney (3 times player of season) and Distin would be excellent squad players.

Well lets hope Our Charming Man doesn't play a reserve team...we don't want another Blackburn (A) or Wigan (H) type performance in the FA Cup last season!

...and isn't that how manu got a 4v0 spanking recently by MK Dons

I dunno, there were a fair few first teamers that had a stinker that night.

[P45Mustang]

Yep. Bit of a [deleted] fixture congestion.

Fair play, Championes League 21.

Feeling lucky?

CL is not important for City though, so who [deleted] cares anyway.

Correction. CL isn't that important to me this season but I imagine it is to our owners.

Pellegrini won't be too bothered then. Hahaha.

[mrbojangles]

Why not

[P45Mustang]

^

Use your imagination. Or do you need it stated explicitly.

Expectation from owners is to perform well in the CL. Therefore, up to Pellegrini to deliver.

[mrbojangles]

But you said

Pellegrini won't be too bothered then. Hahaha.

And I said "why not". Because he will be bothered about CL. It will no doubt be in his performance review

[P45Mustang]

Exactly. That's why I added hahaha.

Aaah. Got ya. I can see why you were in advertising

Yep. Pirlo's still doing the business in Italy and Giggsy played til.....well, in all the excitement, I can't quite remember.

Falcao will be sh!t hot at UNITED whether he is 28 or 30.

I don't have any problem at all with chelsea having 26 players out on loan but I do have a problem with teams in the same Division loaning players between themselves. ..how can that be fair to the other teams.

Dunno mate. I'll have to have a think about it. Chelsea are working within FFP regs with an extensive loan program of young talent mostly going abroad.

Chelsea loans within the Prem are limited, and usually advantageous to the player.

eg. Lukaku.

Yeah assuming he can get back to his best coming from his 3rd ACL. Sorry fella in the words of rio Ferdinand I think yous lot got 'mugged off'.

You're not very keen on UNITED, City, or Chelsea, are you mate.

Rodgers will do the business with or without your help.

What's the problem? Big chip on the shoulder.

[mrbojangles]

So UEFA have decided that the FFP fines imposed on City, PSG etc are going to be split amongst the other Champions League clubs
