Actually I just realized I left Mata out of my team.

That's not such a problem as long as you have intelligent players who know exactly when to hit the opposition.

Look at Barcelona under Guardiola, they'd stroke the ball around all day looking like they were going nowhere and then kill you with a few passes in 5 seconds before you'd realised what was happening.

Manchester police hunt Northern Irish con artist

Quote:
POLICE in Manchester have warned football managers to be vigilant following a daring swindle yesterday.

The swindler, going by the name of ‘Brenda’ and described as short, in his early 40s and almost supernaturally self-confident is thought to have swindled an elderly Chilean in Manchester.

A police spokesman said: “The victim was told he was buying £49m worth of quality goods but on closer inspection it appeared to be a Shaun Wright-Phillips knock-off with no guarantee.

“It’s particularly distressing that this was a vulnerable older gent who just two years ago was cheated out of £25m for a worthless Jovetic.

“There seems to be a rash of these crimes at the moment – down the road at Old Trafford a Dutch pensioner asked us for advice on buying what appears to be German goods five years past its sell-by date.”

The motive for Sunday’s robbery is thought to be malicious as well as financial, with the main suspect previously involved in a Balotelli deal that went badly wrong. The police have warned the public not to approach him as he’s believed to be carrying a Lovren.

Other managers have been advised to mark their players with a UV pen and photograph them wearing the club shirt, to prevent them falling into the hands of Aidy Ward.

Logan said: “Sunday’s victim is trying to make the best of things but all too often such goods are sold off two years later for a massive loss. Usually to Harry Redknapp.”

£#%&!ing state of this

Quote:
Xabi's been a huge success compared to Bastian, even when Bastian has been on the pitch he's been mediocre compared to Xabi. Shoehorning them both in was definitely one of Bayern's problems but Bastian's level is no longer what it was. Indulging/playing Bastian was a deviation from Pep's desired set up, but it was something he had to do; you don't just drop Bastian Schweinsteiger, and obviously Xabi was the best midfielder at the club (when Thiago wasn't fit, which was often). If any Bayern fans do think that Xabi's been a poor signing, it's largely because of Bastian. There is some truth that Alonso isn't the player he once was, pressing him can make him look a total passenger (as Wolfsburg did in that 4-1) but he's a better player than Bastian today.

Lancashire Police have named a 52-year old man they wish to question in connection with what is being hailed as Britain’s largest daylight robbery.

The investigation was launched following the theft of £49 million from Manchester City, with the only clue left at the scene being a contract for the services of winger Raheem Sterling.

Ian Ayre, from Merseyside, is suspected of orchestrating the robbery of the Abu Dhabi owned outfit, which easily eclipses the recent multi-million pound Hatton Garden jewellery raid.

The Liverpool chief executive officer is reported to be in hiding in the Wirral after agreement was reached to transfer the England international ahead of the club’s tour of Asia.

Police believe Ayre conspired with a man known as ‘Aidy Ward’ in an elaborate plot to relieve the Manchester club of vast sums of money in the heist, which took several days to fully execute.

Police Chief Constable, Steve Finnigan, said the audacity of the raid had left the force reeling, though the victims are currently still in denial.

He told reporters, “At this stage the victims don’t seem to think any crime has been committed.”

“We’ve tried explaining that they’ve been ripped off on a scale rarely seen anywhere in the world, but they just smiled and said we must have our facts wrong.”

“I imagine they’ll want to file a report before pre-season is over.”
