When it comes to Manchester United, Own Goal seems to be out injured. Even he can't score for them...

No wonder. He's had a fall-out with the manager and is playing for the reserves.

The matter of the "de Gea hiatus" at Manchester United appears to have been suddenly solved very quickly indeed, with him signing a new four-year contract at Manchester United. Real Madrid will not at all be pleased with this sudden development.

The matter of the "de Gea hiatus" at Manchester United appears to have been suddenly solved very quickly indeed, with him signing a new four-year contract at Manchester United. Real Madrid will not at all be pleased with this sudden development.

At a guess it won't stop them coming back for him in January or the Summer, contracts in football aren't actually worth the paper they're printed on...

Who, Chris Smalling or Phil Jones?

 

[Minilad]

Does anyone really think De Gea will still be at Man Yoo in 4 years time. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not just a ruse so they get a fee for him next summer rather than him just walking away for free

No he will be gone. I'd have a guess a minimum release clause is in that contract.

Suarez was gone in less than a year from Liverpool after signing a new long term contract,

Suarez was gone in less than a year from Liverpool after signing a new long term contract.

Suarez was an interesting case. He clamoured for Champions League football, but stayed when they didn't get it. He only left when they did get it!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Why did de Gea even need to sign a new contract if he could have left at the end of the season and don't forget the very lucrative lump sum joining offer that Real Madrid had made him if he saw out the existing contract and joined them on a free transfer.

Does anyone think there is any truth in the media rumour that de Gea will be on £200,000 a week at Manchester United under the terms of this new contract?

 

[tigerroar]

Two players that I know have been in the news this week.

Sahr Kabba has been banned for feigning injury and Jake Gosling has become Gibraltar's all time leading goalscorer!

 

[Groningen]

When are you going to hate Louis van Gaal? You can not say tht this person is normal. Who much has he spend in his 2nd season? Needs still to improve on his speech of the english language.

 

[backontrack]

Van Gaal, Alex Ferguson, Mourinho all opinionated idiots as far as I'm concerned.

Easy there tiger. Two world class managers in Mourinho and Ferguson, arguably a third and you are writing them all off as idiots?

 

[backontrack]

They may have talent, but they also have massive egos.

It might have been down to the Spanish national team. The coach had made it clear that if he didn't play club football he wouldn't be selected and Van Gaal was going to sit him in the stands if he didn't sign.

200K is what I've heard, probably pretty credible. I've also heard it's backdated a year so he gets a lump sum of around 8M, there's a 50M release clause but he gets a share of that. He's done well out of this as has his agent.

For todays game he's going to need insulated gloves with United lumping the ball up to Fellaini and Liverpool lumping the ball up to Benteke the ball is going to spend most of the match in the stratosphere.

...both of them Belgian. hock:

...both of them Belgian. hock:

As are Kompany, De Bruyne, Courtois, Hazard, Mignolet, Lukaku and quite a few others. Surprising to see such a small country producing so many quality players.

 

[Groningen]

Van Gaal and Ferguson like to shout right in your face to make a (football) point.

 

[backontrack]

Yes, the last two years have had basically the whole Belgian team in the PL!

-Mignolet
-Courtois
-Alderweireld
-Kompany
-Vertonghen
-Vermaelen
-Pocognoli
-Boyata
-De Bruyne
-Dembele
-Fellaini
-Hazard
-Mirallas
-Januzaj
-Chadli
-Benteke
-Lukaku
-Origi

That's enough for a whole team including all seven subs (even a substitute keeper!)

Oldham 1-5 Peterborough

Darren Kelly who become Latics manager back in May will be sacked tonight or tomorrow from what I hear, if it does happens then I feel sorry for him but he shouldn't become Oldham manager and Oldham board should get blame for this.

I see Chelsea are now 11 points drift from Man City after Chelsea lost 3-1 to Everton, knowing only five game played surely Chelsea wouldn't be winning Premiership title this season.

No I think our hopes of retaining the title are gone already, us Chelsea fans accept these blips from time to time, the last time we started badly we ended up winning the champions league, but three defeats in the opening five games really is concerning!

Get as much money out of United as possible, for the year he stays. Massively increased weekly wage, signing bonus he'll probably for 1 year be a minimum of 10-15 million better off

Three losses and a draw even worse.

I don't see anyone stopping City at the moment. Joe Hart has 7 consecutive clean sheets now in the league!

BBC Sport reporting Darren Kelly has gone (18:15)

Correct, it's been a yawnfest so far. Fellaini can't do intricate passing, needs wingers to feed him crosses.

So we play Herrera and Mata, who like little intricate balls, and leave true wingers Valencia and Young on the bench.

Because that's taking into account how people play...

BBC Sport reporting Darren Kelly has gone (18:15)

Really really hope Oldham don't appoint Holden as our new manager but rumour have it that former Leeds boss Redfearn could be new Oldham manager, if it is Redfearn then I'm happy as he did good job at Leeds and feel he get players going again.

So either an internal promotion or someone already hired.

F A Cup....1st qualifying round

Darlington 1....Hyde United 3

Not in a month of Sundays did I see that one coming. I wonder what DarloRich thinks of this result.

English Premiership

Manchester United 3...Liverpool 1

Manchester appears to have teams in both first and second place in that league tonight.

Is this the same Neil Redfearn who played in midfield for Oldham Athletic in the early 1990's?

 

[SS4]

Two great goals from Benteke and Martial respectively closed a much better second half at Old Trafford (it wasn't hard to be more exciting than the first 45min)

 

[Drogba11CFC]

Swindon Supermarine 0...Winchester City 4 (Bentley 12, 75, Barron 47, Cann 85)

For the second season running, Winchester City march into the second qualifying round of the FA Cup. Despite a nervy spell in the second half, Swindon Supermarine were unable to finish in front of goal, and ultimately paid the price. One Chelsea fan on twitter has called for Chelsea to sign Warren Bentley...!

Looking on Hyde twitter page it mention that it was only second time in 10 years that Hyde United have won FA Cup game hock:

Is this the same Neil Redfearn who played in midfield for Oldham Athletic in the early 1990's?

Yes I believe so.

Given Oldham owners like to do thing on cheap side I wouldn't be surprise to see David Dunn become our new player/Manager plus when we sign Dunn back in July lot of our fans believe he be our new manager before xmas as quite lot of them thought Darren Kelly will get boot by xmas, we wait and see who become new Oldham boss.

For those addicts of bizarre statistics

Both Norwich City and Ipswich Town are eighth in their respective leagues with a minus goal difference.

Clachnacuddin are fourth from bottom of the Highland League (two wins, seven defeats) with a plus goal difference.
