I honestly don't know what to expect at Villa. I feel like our biggest weakness could be alleviated through having Kolo Toure there instead of Martin Skrtel - there is also Villa's exhaustion coming into this game to account for. On the other hand, they've looked really dangerous and have an excellent attacking 4, with quality players. I think if we score an early goal, it's ours.

Don't tell me you missed that Aktobe match at Thursday. How do they allow to play Europa League matches on such crappy field is beyond me. On a beautiful Olympiyski Stadium with perfect pitch we will destroy those amateurs 6:0 next week!
I don't think Villa will be exhausted. They are a young fit team. Professional footballers at this level are fit enough to play multiple matches a week.

Saw this on the gaming side, now I am wondering if it was a mistake to delete Motorstorm so quickly.

It wasn't.
Played the two first hours of Saints Row 4. The intro to that game might be one of the best ever.

Hmm, you guys are confident that West Ham will get past Newcastle?

Not looking forward to today's match, I'd love to see us have a proper go at Newcastle, but I can't see BFS doing anything drastically different from last year's away set-up.
Woah, hold up - you bet money on West Ham winning away? Better hope Everton & Norwich do the job for you, because we most likely won't, lol.

Amazing lol
wow lol.....Wenger: "Why did Higuain choose another club? That's not the truth. The truth is that he was not a special target for us." #afc
Just seen the Ivanovic elbow. Dithering between what a think of it. I agree that if Taylor was sent off, Ivanovic should go, too. And it was dangerous. But I also agree with Mourinho that in physical battles like that you're going to have these things. Benteke is a very physical player and sometimes, in your rush to stop him, you might accidentally throw an elbow.
Fucking hell this weather, absolutely pouring down.
And you've got SD23.

He probably was not a 'special target' due to the miscommunication regarding Suarez's contract. If that release clause situation had been clear then, I think we probably would have wrapped up a Higuain deal.
Fuckin' Suarez, man. Every single thing about him is horrid and offensive.

True, i was pissed off when he pulled his stunt but the team isnt better without him (still mad we fucked up at both ACNs) the qualifiers aren't over yet, there is the group game against Zambia that Ghana has to win then a two leg tie for a ticket to Brazil
man alive
There's a reason I avoided betting on this one.
And the Man United Facebook Twitter is the best thing on the internet.

I didn't get home until about 2am last night and decided to stay up to catch the game rather than get some sleep and (maybe) wake up for it (it starts at 6:45am local time).
I'm now exhausted and this team sheet is telling me that I made the worst decision.

I'm not convinced we would have payed £37m for Higuain even if the Suarez situation didn't arise. There were reports that we had a £25m + add-ons fee agreed in principal but Real then raised their price for him after Ancelotti came in. Wenger then didn't deem Higuain to be worth that much and thought if he's going to spend that much, why not get someone much better, so we went for Suarez.
Nothing wrong with that IMO, the problems came in when Suarez's agent told us there was a clause that didn't exist so it meant we just pissed Liverpool off with our +£1 bid.

Good lineup from us there. Will be interesting to see how Sagna gets on at CB again.

Rooney's agent in bed with Eto'o's agent confirmed.
Good. The less ex-Manc and ex-Spurs players on the pitch the better.
