Sure - it's kinda long though: Here goes. Sheer Belief - The Curious Case Of Thiago Alcantara Sheer Belief – The Curious Case Of Thiago Alcantara Belief comes in many guises. But the true measure of real belief is what you are prepared to put on the line to support your belief. The case of...

Hope its okay to post this:- Just written an analysis of this transfer here:

Let's look at this properly. This is what we know. 1. We made a bid for Alcantara 2 years ago and he wanted to stay at Barca. 2. He was unhappy last year and so negotiated a contract with Barca that he plays 30 games. If not he goes for 18m Euros before 31st July 2013 and 90m Euros...

Nah - we've got the option until 2014. Anyone think that United aren't able to tie up legal contracts? Seriously? Just newspaper speculation - bad news sells and we've had bad news with Morrison/Pogba/Fryers/Hazard/Moura so lets add this onto those. For those who'll flame me Morrison was bad...

He's a great player. Adds tremendous amounts in attack and can be an effective defender although I think he struggles for consistency. Defence-wise he reminds me of Gary Neville in the struggle for consistency early on in his career. TBH in critical games he can tend to make HUGE mistakes -...

This isn't major. It's pretty stupid of Rio to get mixed up in this as it was his cryptic messages on Twitter that week with his Films Of the Week - which he's stopped doing (and hadn't done before that!) He didn't make the message - he responded to it. He didn't necessarily agree with the...

Think he's playing with us here. We knew at the beginning of the season that we needed a central midfielder. SAF has rejected that we were overrun in CM and I kind of agree. The problem was that our CM was pretty pedestrian and sprung no surprises. Without Anderson and Cleverley it was...

They charged him because the burden of proof in the court was "beyond reasonable doubt". THe court prosecurtion couldn't prove beyond reasonable doubt that Terry had been racially abusive. But there was enough there within what the magistrate said for the FA to pick up on. The burden of...

Yes he looks slower which has taken off his edge. So he's caught offside far more often to try to compensate. But perhaps he's just off-form?

Perhaps - at the moment - but still - Aguero, Balotelli, Tevez, Dzeko, Santa Cruz, Nari, Silva, Adeyayor is a lot of strikers. A couple of matches where you don't score/indifferent form and you go the Santa Cruz way - where you get lots of money for no playing time. May not be so attractive...

Could be wiht the central midfielder thing that he's got a lot of faith in kids:- Lingard, Petrucci, Daehli, Januzaj? He's surprised us before?

TBH the one thing Rio said is that he's 2 footed. Think Carrick mentioned it too! They've seen more of him than we have.

This guy's an out-and-out striker. For the reserves we played him on the wing and discovered that he can't cross. Well that's no surprise since he's always been a striker. He'll do well somewhere and tbh he's always scored goals no matter what level he's played so think we should give him a...

Okay - I wonder if the reasons SAF hasn't signed a central midfield player is this:- Anderson Cleverley Jesse Lingard Davide Petrucci Mats Daehli Adnan Januszaj Looking at Lingard and Petrucci I wonder if over the next couple of years they could grow into effective central midfield players who...

Like the idea of False CMs!!! lol anyway can i partake in some muppet making! Here's a video I found on Youtube:- Fergie, Fergie sign him up.
