Why shouldn't Ferguson's man-management be in question? Clearly he knew how to build a great team spirit and winning mentality, but when it came to big personality and demands he didn't like he was obviously lacking in that regard.

Hello Russia.

I don't buy that at all. That's just the picture Ferguson wanted to paint for the media. It's no coincidence that he left just before his contract ran out. We've seen this trend before. If a player makes demands that Ferguson thinks are above their station then his ego can't handle it, and they...

No it isn't, it's the tangle of legs that Giroud causes. There could have been no push by either of them and he'd have still tripped Rooney up.

He wouldn't need to be to have been accommodated though would he? I actually haven't seen any indication that Pogba or Morrison wanted higher wages, they just wanted games. The latter took two pay-cuts to eventually get them at Birmingham.

I don't see how you can predict that so confidently. Liverpool or Spurs could easily be in there.

It's very possible. With the way the best teams have weakened and the chasing pack have strengthened the top of the table will be ridiculously open this year. First time in a long time we really have no idea how things will end up.

Pogba never had behavioural problems, that was Morrison. Both left because they weren't getting games and it sounded like Januzaj was on the verge of that too until Moyes started playing him.

Sorry no, it doesn't work like that. In both scenarios Giroud's actions are the same, therefore it should be a penalty in both scenarios. Rooney didn't knock himself over, Giroud knocked him over. The only difference is that Rooney tried (and failed) to stop him. If it were just a 50/50 shoulder...

I've never witnessed such insane bias in my life. Rooney is in possession. Giroud takes him out without getting near the ball. You do realise that getting your foot in front of someone and knocking them over is against the rules, right? It doesn't matter who was stronger.

So? Taking out Rooney is exactly what he did - so it's a foul. I can't believe this is even being argued...

You cannot be serious. He runs in and takes Rooney out with a tangle of legs before he gets near the ball. It's as clear a penalty as you'll ever see.

Seems like Ozil has gone missing again.

On the Spurs issue, has Soldado shown anything this season to suggest that he'll score more goals than Defoe would?

I don't see that as good news, I see that as terrible fucking news. The more games of terrestrial TV the better.

Disagree. I can't think of many areas in which Morrison is not superior to Barkley, and all of the ones I can are related to his physique. Morrison is a better passer, better dribbler, better finisher, has a better first touch and is more comfortable in possession. You don't see it as much...

I really don't see United challenging for the title this year. Your goal should be top four.

I can't see him doing a U-turn now. Will be interesting to see what his reception will be like in Brazil next summer.
