Transfermarkt's Injury History for Jones has some numbers. His last listed injury kept him out for 416 days. I crunched their numbers and came up with the following: Number of Injuries 24 Games missed through injury: 216 Average games missed per injury: 9 Total Days out injured: 1210 I...

I doubt this is due to Super League stance, otherwise Mourinho would have already made a statement.

Depends on a few things: opponent we lost to, stakes of the match lost, how avoidable the loss was. •A loss to City causes a towering rage that requires intense exercise to quell. If there's something I can break without consequence, I do. •Loss that costs silverware usually causes a shortened...

Killing Joke-Killing Joke. Revisiting angry music that came out when I was 8.

Roy is too inflexible to be an effective manager. If you need someone torn down for not taking things seriously then Roy is your man. But if a player is lacking confidence because he hasn't scored in a few games, Keane would just as likely crush his spirit. All stick, no carrot is Roy.

I remember the match against Club America on that tour, Veron looked Great: he was involved in everything, going box-to-box, directing play. I was getting excited to see him play in the coming season, but he was sold to Chelsea before I could finish the thought.

February 1 with no new signings.

This is what Google Translate did to it: In Manchester are already anticipating parties. On the internet, slow people repeat the phrase “Time to remove my penis!” This means they are happy.

I have to turn it off if a loss looks likely. There's only so much anger management can do; I've broken more than a few things in a loss induced rage. After one loss to City I beat one saucepan with another until they were both nearly flat. My landlady timidly asked if all was well, and if she...

STC, while a major investor, is one of many, and don't have control over policy. I would rather they not be involved at all, but they are not in full control, and the Saudi Royal Family is not the main beneficiary of United profits. Once they purchase the club, it becomes a bragging piece for...

Agreed. The Glazers may be awful, but they've never been implicated in the brutal, torture/murder of a critic.

He'll decline as a CB as soon as he's moved there permanently. He's had brief flashes of excellence at CM, like when Anderson had his short renaissance, then he goes back to sucking and being a coward when he sees his place isn't in danger. He's also 32. He will only get slower. I saw on...

I've long figured that other teams' pregame talks include "Pressurize or Intimidate Carrick" as major tactical plans. He can't cope with a fast game, and his judgment goes to pieces under stress. Intensely physical midfielders like Yaya Toure probably look forward to facing him. I've seen these...

It looked like the team had never trained together at times. I wasn't impressed with anyone but De Gea, honestly. It was too much chaos most of the time. I despise Nani normally, and it looks the causes for that have intensified. The formation caused Scholes or Kagawa to seem...

It's common for people like Barton, whom I'm convinced is a sociopath*, to drink too much. It goes with their poor impulse control. After they get in trouble enough times, and see that they may really be punished by losing their freedom and/or livelihood, they get treatment, and make the...
