Tonight's football thread

[IainR]

Pulis is a top guy..

" Marouane Chamakh has done fantastic since I have come here. Today he was not as great in possession of the ball, he was sloppy at times, but the challenge for their penalty, he is totally committed and he has mis timed it. It is a penalty."

Its so rare you hear a manager talk so candidly.

He was harshly treated by Stoke, made them a premier league team, and has done an incredible job at Palace. I'm amazed they aren't out of sight at the bottom TBH..

Looking hard to call at the bottom. I reckon the bottom 6 are the ones still in it.

Fulham, Cardiff, Norwich to go down for me... I think West Brom will just have enough.

I'd just like to congratulate United on achieving today's convincing win over the mighty Chrystal Palace using only home grown talent and players bought cheaply and developed to world-class status. And spending just £202m in the process. God bless that club for doing things, as we all know, "the right way"

De Gea £18.9m
Smalling £10m
Ferdinand £27.9m
Vidic £7m
Evra £5.5m
Fellaini £27.5
Carrick £18.6m
Mata £37.5
Rooney £27m
Van Persie £22m
Januzaj £0.3

Total £202.2m

And shame on "Moneybags" City for parking the bus and hitting poor relegation-threatened Stoke City on the break to scrape an undeserved win. Ruining football with their financial doping !!

Hart £1.5m
Zabaleta £6.5m
Kompany £6.7m
Demichelis £3.5m
Kolarov £17m
Silva £25m
Nasri £22m
Fernandinho £30m
Toure £24m
Dzeko £27m
Negredo £20.6m

Total £183.8

Oh Danbert, can you please stop embarrassing your green and yellow neighbours.

Time after time the door is open for you to wade in and kick butts similar to the league placings.

in the 70's chitty tried to buy success and threw Millions at it. They were the first team to break the million mark on someone who was crap, Daley. But for all the money swales spent the supporters hated him. For all their claims they are a MASSIVE club they have won very little.

Compared to 5 years ago Rooney is older,fatter,balder,slower and scores and assists less....but,

He earns twice as much money...

The real winners here Are Rooney, Coleen, the agent and old grannies

I concur.

His appetite for footballing success is far outweighed by his appetite to swell his bank balance.

Surely a multi millionaire would desire success on the pitch?

Yet City keep trying to buy him..

Stagger, I dont think you can question his worth ethic, the guy runs his legs off and has won more than any city player.
