Let them have him.  He offered to play for free for United and they were smart enough to know that his medical bills alone will cost £35k per week.

He was fine in training multiple times and couldn't go more 20 mins in real competition.

(though, if he is healthy, Spurs is a better fit and I'm taking down the poster that hangs above my bed)

I didn't throw away the poster, but I'm not putting it back up.  I was lucky enough to get one of the new H&M David Beckham posters.  Yummy…and his name is on my underwear again, without me having to steal his this time!

They should have fired him after South Africa.. that was embarrassing… Was only Capello to blame? Of course not but it seemed he could not get any response from his team.. it just seemed like he had lost them..


Anyways, its kind of funny because I always want England to do poorly and they do under perform but the other team that has really under performed the past two decades is unfortunately Argentina!

i agree, they should have moved on after south africa. and yet they stuck with capello and he kept picking the same old, slow players. the euros wouldnt be any different either, and fabio knew it. no one folds a winning hand for the honor of 31 year old scumbag like terry

@FourFourTom: Luis Suarez wasn't being pathetic - refusal to shake someone's hand is a compliment in Uruguay, plus his grandfather had hands.

absolutely shocking. No class whatsoever. and king kenny continues to defend him

sad to see a great club decline so much on and off the field

Arsenal game was fun yesterday.. Van Persie was really pouring salt on the wounds at the end…


I got Gol TV and Fox Sports a few weeks ago and have been in soccer heaven since…


the Boca Juniors - Independiente game on Sunday was also, for Argentine league standards, great…even if Boca lost 5-4.

Gol TV shows every Boca league game live and Fox shows every Copa Libertadores game (with the Argentine announcers on the SAP channel)..


mainly I've been enjoying Barcelona though…

for a guy out of the game for six months I was surprised he still had his form.. notice the first goal it was set up by a corner earned by a nice Tevez pass into the box.. second one similar; a nice tevez pass… City looked woeful before he came on.
