Yes! 3 points. Thank god that's out the way now. Not a great game to showpiece a new style or new players. A lot to work on, need to get more people around Benteke for the head/knock downs. Lallana and Ibe disappointed a bit but worked hard. Clyne barely had a chance to get forward. Hopefully...

Does anyone have the foggiest what Martinez has to play with transfer budget-wise? Go all-out for Austin (£15m), last day loan bid for Lennon again and start throwing some of the youngsters in. Can't believe Pienaar is injured again.

I'd sell him to Real Madrid/PSG/abroad for £35m - but too City or Chelsea he's £50m. That's how it should be. Or let him rot in the reserves. Everyone over-charges us for players, time we started doing the same. Play a bit of hard ball... ...unless he starts biting fellow professionals.

Meulensteen has great assistant manager stats on Football Manager ... ... ... Brendan loves being the face doesn't he, loves all that media stuff so no worries for SO'D. I'm looking forward to our first season without Gerrard, Hopefully a few players will step up. Brendan could do with being a...

Ridiculous fine.

Gerrard / Johnson - already released. Enough has been said of those two. Sell Borini - Although I admired his determination to stay and fight for his place, not getting enough games or a fair crack under Rodgers. Probably worth moving on for his own good. Toure - Don't think we really need...

Well Steven Gerrard leaving opens up a CM slot at Liverpool. Also our sponsors Nivea have supplied the boys with an abundance of antiperspirants and deodorants. Changing rooms smelling FRESHHHHHH.

Maybe an attempt to get the French (and French speaking) players to stick around (Sissoko, Tiote, Cisse, etc.).

I don't think Cattermole is dirty, he's just slow for that level so seems to always come in a bit late. Fellaini, Gerrard, Diego Costa, Rooney i'd class as dirty. Fellaini most of all, Crouch was large and never threw arms/elbows out like Fellaini has done over the years.

Ronaldo was being a dick running off to celebrate on his own instead of jumping on Hernandez. Absolutely hate Real, Atleti and Barca. It's not enough that you've got amazing squads/players. Cherry picking the best players from all over the world, and they're all cheating, diving, play-acting...

Got bad feelings about this. Stevie and Markovic need to get into the game, hope Brendan lays into them at half time. I'd get Manquillo on for Can (looked uncomfortable and possibly injured anyway). We struggle to pass it out of our own half at the moment. Great feet by Delph for the Villa...

There was an article about the quality of free kick takers in Europe and Bale has a better conversion rate than Ronaldo; but they have to feed his ego and let him take them all (most of them anyway). Not a team player.

Anyone been to Norway? Thinking of going over soon with some mates. Probably Oslo but open to different ideas.

Sinclair Naismith edit: changed Weimann to Sinclair.

Raheem's waiting to see if we get CL football again (as well as a pay increase). I imagine Theo wants more money and more assurances he'll play upfront sometimes. Both will probably sign in the summer and stay. God, I hope we get top 4.

Played one good cross for the goal, the other crosses - you'd surely expect anyone to be able to lob a ball from deep into Fellaini far post, and one dodgey corner that Carrick made the most off. Another ineffectual performance. The old United way of playing, patient but incisive is long gone...

Can't believe nobody had Monreal as first goalscorer. :dry:

The new Prem' deal should pay for all teams in the Football League to have heat lamps for their pitches . Apparently they make a big difference, better pitches might go a long way to improving the football in the lower leagues, therefore getting better value for money (for ticket prices).
