might be precisely why he wasn't brought along to WC

He moved for 10 million euros or something like that right? I am sure he is a full international now and a first teamer for Serbia at this point now when other clubs want to buy him from Lazio for crazy sums.

Question in my head now is: How much would you pay for a player who does not make it to his national team? If that figure is not something even remotely similar to the 50 million we supposedly paid for Martial, I doubt we would sell easily. Martial has to kick up a public fuss (and in the...

Brilliant post for me. My thought exactly and I feel that our legends are recently part of the negativity surrounding the club. We need more believers and less haters - if we cannot get support from legends who have such a public role, I am not surprised that some players' confidence is...

I want Liverpool to win, and there to be 20 players with niggling injuries from this match (no broken legs or other serious injuries, I'm not that mean). just so that we can increase chances of winning our fixture against city. other than the above, do not care who wins this match up so long...

I believe I can safely say on most other United fans' behalf that we want to be and expect and believe we can or will be the best team in Manchester. If we are not for a momentary point in time, it is what it is. That is life. Meeting expectations is different from concession of our status...

last year we won two. this year we still have a chance of three. might be unlikely. but who knows? has Spurs made any progress as compared to United in your view? why is 0 cups last year and 0 cups this year --> no progression but not regression; whereas 2 cups last year and 0 cups this...

Yes, you are right. The EPL race is over. Sack Mourinho and rebuild for next season. Only the Champion's League is relevant and then only amongst City and Psg and Barcelona (even Real is a terrible team that can't compete). :houllier:

I thought they were top scorers? Definitely one of the top two goal scoring teams in the seasons he won the title. That is pretty impressive for a defensively minded coach. Same point for his time at Real where they broke scoring records or something. Also thought Mourhinho bought in a few...

hmm my recollection was a ton of plaudits for chelsea (first stint) under mourinho being a well oiled machine and ruthless against smaller sides. maybe the difference is just the standings. so we can’t be second. we have to be first.

hating on united is the cool thing to do. and rival fans are always worried about us. in the way that we like to pay attention to Liverpool, a large group of every other rival team's fans probably do the same for us. that's why for us, (1) defending well is boring (not for Chelsea, that's...

think the Smalling Lindelof combo will start in defence. Jones is too brave and may injure himself on a hard pitch/harsher conditions. won't be surprised if a few other players are rested as well, like Matic and Valencia. Would like to see Darmian, Carrick, Shaw, Martial and Lingard play...

As it turns out, a number of studies have been done. See http://penaltyshootouts.co.uk/research Might be interesting to note this: "Jordet, G., Hartman, E., Visscher, C. and Lemmink, K. A. P. M. (2006) Kicks from the penalty mark in soccer: The roles of stress, skill, and fatigue for kick...

Did a quick wiki search of the number of penalties deciding World Cups, Champions Leagues (including old edition), and Euros matches. There are only 55 such occasions. A sample size of 129 is pretty big in comparison. Didn't do a proper research on the times when the first team wins - this is...
