He may not be great now but the potential is there for Henderson.

Anyway, Liverpool's Jonjo Shelvey chant is nothing more than a poor rip-off attempt of Man City's Yaya and Kolo Toure song. I might as well sing the same song for Crawley Town's Nicky Adams.

Falcao has scored 5 goals today. God help the PL if Chelsea sign him

by **Hero** Sun Dec 09, 2012 7:36 pm

Could swap him for Badstuber and Lopez

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Dec 09, 2012 7:39 pm

by **Hero** Sun Dec 09, 2012 7:42 pm

Marky had Falcao at the beginning of the league last time round but decided to swap him for those two.

by Trebs Sun Dec 09, 2012 7:43 pm

Which Lopez?

by Marky Sun Dec 09, 2012 7:43 pm

Ignore him Olly, Hero's just trying to be funny Whistle

by Marky Sun Dec 09, 2012 7:45 pm

Real story:

I had Falcao in season 1 but he wasn't rated anywhere as near as much as he is now, I got a £38m lawyers offer for him so I sold him to sign Badstuber at CB (where I was light) and Lisandro Lopez.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Dec 09, 2012 7:46 pm

Oh right!

by The Special Juan Sun Dec 09, 2012 7:51 pm

2nd goal was a peach

by Marky Sun Dec 09, 2012 8:14 pm

So. Who will Falcao be playing for on Feb 1st?

A- Chelsea
B- Man City
C- Real Madrid
D- Barcelona
E- Atletico Madrid
F- Paris Saint Germain
G- Anzhi Makhachkala
H- Zenit St Petersburg
I- Norwich City

Get voting!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Dec 09, 2012 8:16 pm

We all know he wants to play for I with service that Snoddy provides but probably gonna end up with A me thinks

by **Hero** Sun Dec 09, 2012 8:16 pm

J - Man Utd

Utd have already realised they cant defend so will just bring in strikers and go to out score anyone.

K - Derby County

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Dec 09, 2012 9:17 pm

Trebs have you seen much of these two youngsters Derby have?

Will Hughes and Mason Bennett?

by Trebs Sun Dec 09, 2012 9:54 pm

Yeah I have.

Will Hughes will be playing in the Premier League soon, I guarantee it. I think he'll move to a Norwich, Sunderland, Villa type team. He's a fantastic passer of the ball and creative. I have had an eye on him for a while. Only thing I'm worried about is he goes the same way as Miles Addison, who I thought would be a big deal and has failed to live up to his huge potential. Mason Bennett I'm not sure about. He's got potential, sure but I don't think he's quite ready to be judged.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Dec 09, 2012 9:58 pm

As much as I would love us to sign Hughes the one position we are sorted at is creative midfielder lol

He looks a real talent, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go to a big team like Nick Powell did

by Trebs Sun Dec 09, 2012 10:06 pm

I don't see him going straight up, I think he'll use a smaller team as a stepping stone. I didn't mean Norwich specifically just meant that sort of sized team.

by Trebs Sun Dec 09, 2012 10:57 pm

Just another note to you non-believers.

Michael Carrick was exceptional today

by Guest Mon Dec 10, 2012 9:30 am

Oay, here's my weekend review:

1. Arsenal vs West Brom
Arsenal were tidy in possession, worthy of the win, but the referee decided the game with three incorrect decisions:

- Cazorla's awful dive for the first penalty
- Blatant handball by Mertesacker, given as a free kick to Arsenal
- The second penalty was the correct decision, but Chamberlain had fouled Popov just before that

2. City vs United
United deserved victory, but it was more down to Mancini's dreadful tactics / team selection. He really needs to be sacked if City want to repeat as Champions.

3. Manny Pacquiao
Took the mother of all punches and was unconscious for ages. Youtube it, what a punch.

xx

by **Hero** Mon Dec 10, 2012 9:41 am

I'm one of Cazorla's biggest fans but it wasn't just the dive that irked, it was the play acting that went with it.

by **Afro** Mon Dec 10, 2012 9:42 am

Does anyone else think Carrick was exceptional. I thought him and Cleverley were fairly average again, and so were the Man City centre mids.

United got the deserved win, I agree and RVP is proving an exceptional signing - most important player in the league atm.

And that punch that Pacquiao took was unbelievable, especially as he was coming onto it as well. Most people's heads would have been taken off by the one he took in the 3rd round as well

by sodhat Mon Dec 10, 2012 9:46 am

Carrick was alright enough. Did his job on the ball.

I feel for Mario Balotelli. He didn't play well but he gets no chances to see out a full 90 minutes any more. Reckon he should move on soonish.

by Guest Mon Dec 10, 2012 9:49 am

Carrick was okay, I don't think I've ever seen him play 'exceptional' Headscratch

Toure is shockingly bad this year, which wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't being remunerated to the tune of £200,000 per week. Even Viva with his dodgy knee would have contributed more to City's season than Toure.

Pacquiao did well to get to R6, I think all that's gone on the last 3/4 years has ruined his ability. He'd not get one punch on Mayweather now.

by FIFA Diva Mon Dec 10, 2012 9:54 am

Morning

Azzy you never give United any credit, if Youngs goal was given it would have been game over. United had a plan and it worked they didn't allow the City team to play like they want to.

Disgraceful by the City fans, Rio could have easily lost an eye there no place for that in Football.

by **Afro** Mon Dec 10, 2012 9:56 am

None of the CMs stood out for me on either side.

You're right on Yaya Azzy. The difference in him from last year to this is unbelievable. He looks a liability this season, when he carried them at times last year.

And in fairness to Pacman, if Mayweather had taken that punch, he'd have been beaten too. However, Mayweather would never have got caught by that punch.

Agree completely and SAF is bang on with his comments. Although, it is not just City that the finger can be pointed at, I reckon every ground has those idiots. There are certainly Everton supporters at Goodison I have seen who I would believe are idiotic enough to do something.

Catch them and ban them for life.

Highlights of the Pacman knockout.

You lot are way too harsh on Yaya Toure. He scored a good goal and made some good runs from his own half. But if your playing next to the likes of Barry then there's no hope in hell for you.

by sodhat Mon Dec 10, 2012 10:09 am

Toure set the bar very high for himself and he will struggle to match that.

Where is Rodwell, is he injured again?

Don't think Mancini will be at City all year at this rate. He seems so negative at the moment and it's not happening for them.

Probably looking at Mayweather vs Marquez now, or Pacquiao vs Marquez V.

I don't think there is much point to a Pac/Mayweather fight any more. I never believed Pacquiao had enough to beat Mayweather and I'm pretty sure that's the case now.

by FIFA Diva Mon Dec 10, 2012 10:19 am

Who shall I send votes to now? An before anyone says anything, we have new runners with Afro leaving things have changed in the admin.

United fans are equally as bad when they pelted Bellamy a few years ago with bottles, can't blame one team for it everyone does it. Won't be long till a player is killed or seriously injured.

I agree with Sodhat no point for a Pacman and Mayweather fight it's pointless and Mayweather would be a bitch to fight Pacman now.

by **Afro** Mon Dec 10, 2012 10:21 am

Pacman v Mayweather had to be 3 or 4 years ago. It would have been tight then, although I would have gone for Mayweather. Now it would be a foregone conclusion (so I cann see Mayweather taking it now Laugh

)

No comments on Wilshere's performance on Saturday then?

by nadeem2099 Mon Dec 10, 2012 10:30 am

If Pacman put more effort in his boxing than on trying to be a politician then he wouldn't have got knocked the fudge out.

by sodhat Mon Dec 10, 2012 10:32 am

It would probably harm Mayweather's own legacy to take it now! He'd look like a huge bitch. But at least he can lean on the fact he beat Marquez cleanly. I'd like to see them fight again though.

I dominated the hockey field like Nobby Stiles on Saturday. I just ran about a lot and made tackles in midfield, when I actually got the ball I was a mong...

by nadeem2099 Mon Dec 10, 2012 10:51 am

What "hockey" did you play sod? The Mighty Ducks one or the fake field one.

by sodhat Mon Dec 10, 2012 10:56 am

The field one Nads, I can't skate and I don't fancy getting beaten up either.

I've put Afro and Gregers' tactics up for their respective matches. They don't have opponents this week but when voting please still give feedback on their gameplans so it's not wasting their time to write tactics.

(Viva - you've already voted so you get a free pass)

by **Afro** Mon Dec 10, 2012 11:03 am

Tottenham would be top of the Premier League if all the games had ended after 80 minutes. Spurs would have 34 points and be two points ahead of Manchester United and five ahead of Manchester City

by nadeem2099 Mon Dec 10, 2012 11:07 am

Lionel Messi beat Gerd Muller's record of 85 goals in a year yesterday by scoring his 85th and 86th goal. Think that will swerve the Balloon Door in his favor.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Dec 10, 2012 11:08 am

Most in form team in the league at the moment. Norwich City. Cool

Although we will lose at home to Wigan next week because there is no way we are going 10 league games unbeaten and winning 5 home league games in a row Laugh

I think it was swerved in his favour by him being clearly the best player in the world Whistle

Guys, I'm going to run a series of polls on the football board to declare the v2 World team of the year so I need your help in creating it if that's okay.

Basically I'll run a poll for each position and require 10 nominations for each position (15 for centrebacks) in a 4-2-3-1 formation (with a DM and deep lying playmaker being used).

So to start off can I have ten Goalkeepers that should be included?

by **Afro** Mon Dec 10, 2012 11:35 am

Definately got to include

Casillas
Buffon
Neuer
Hart
Handanovic
Akinfeev
