Very good performance considering how we've played against similar sides to Bayern. Its nice to go into the second leg with a chance.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

That Welbeck miss may well be costly, Fellaini started badly but got better as the game went on. Not much possession but more shots on target, a big improvement on recent performances. Once again a terrific atmosphere in the ground.:cool:

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

may well be? its a dead cert that miss will haunt you. in games like that chances don't come around too often. top quality and above average are separated in moments like that. having said that the first goal disallowed for a high foot was a bit of a ball ache. makes you think if that red against RM was actually the right call.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Yes it was nice to see United show a improvement and even though they are going through a transition they showed that Bayern have weaknesses that can be exploited.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Swings and roundabouts , it also means that no one can poach one of their players for 14 months either.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

One would imagine they will appeal this ban and one would not be surprised if the ban was reduced in its severity.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

The quality of English football in European competition disturbs me. Mourinho was right to slam his team. Just sat back and invited them on. Same for City and United. Too scared and it's frankly embarrassing to watch. Comparable to our performance against Southampton at the weekend.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Our teams need to learn the art of defending again as we are conceding silly goals all the time.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Wayne Rooney is not world class.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26867861

He is not worth £300.000 a week that's for sure but where would MU be in the PS if it was not for his goals.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Also means they can't replace valdes

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Overreaction.

English teams will get better. Chelsea need an out and out striker, man city need a decent defense.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Indeed as going forward apart from Chelsea there are no problems in my opinion but we must defend better as they punish you more in Europe.

Sunderland fined for fielding ineligible player.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26878545

They have got off very lightly as l thought the punishment in fielding ineligible players was a points deduction.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

goes from bad to worse we going down anyway so a point deduction will make little difference

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

See what happens see what happens if sunderland stay stay up. About fifteen years ago.the mighty hammers beat villa in the league cup quarter final iirc only to be told the next day one of the subs had played in the competition whilst on loan to a team of considerably lower quality, he only played something like three minutes that night and didn't even touch the ball. The match had to be replayed, hammers lost and that player never played.for the first team again, in fact his promising career went down the toilet, he got released, drifted down the.leagues and out of the game.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I think they should have been docked points, because Poyet moaned about someone playing an ineligible player against a team he was managing and demanded they got a points deduction. So I would have thought that a fair punishment would have been any points won during those league games he played in got deducted.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Club statement

Published: 04 April, 2014
by Sunderland AFC

Statement from Sunderland AFC.

Club spokesperson:

“The issue of Ji Dong-won was explained in detail at today’s Premier League shareholders' meeting and no issues were raised by any club.

“Sunderland AFC confirmed that they had complied with all procedures and the Premier League stated that the player was duly registered on the extranet system and in all other Premier League mechanisms.

“The club has never accepted any wrongdoing, but did acknowledge that a technical fault occurred and as such were fined by the Premier League accordingly in December.

“The matter is now closed.”

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

If that is the case, I don't see need for points deduction. Looks more like a case of too complicated a system, where one bit wasn't updated.

Given FA, that wouldn't surprise me, I think all the football organisations have their head up their ass (can I say ass?, or is posterior better)

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

and thats part of the problem but only part of it. the stale tactics etc. is the other half. Wenger has said before he pretty much wont change so its time for a new manager.

---------- Post added at 19:17 ---------- Previous post was at 18:59 ----------

Which means Wenger will persist with Arteta even though his legs are gone. Arsene Wenger has overseen a stadium move all the while staying in touch with the very elite and for that he deserves recognition, respect but nothing more. Does he deserve to win something? I don't know, I'd lean towards no because he has clearly neglected the team for years when there was scope to push on. I don't believe for one second the players haven't been available, they have. The tactics etc. have been stale at times. I wouldn't mind finishing the season without anything. FA Cup, CL or not I'd like to see a new manager.
