Newbie RB Chambers was thrown in as a CB for Arsenal. At HT Arsenal put in LB Monreal next to newbie RB Chambers as CB partners which means Arsenal finished the game with an entire backline of full backs.

You would certainly have an advantage in London...I heard most of your season ticket holders live there

A fact that is often overlooked is that Man U have always had a larger 'percentage' of season ticket holders living at Manchester post codes than City.

They only fill the City of Manchester stadium when the big teams come to town.

Many times last season when matches where televised there where loads of empty seats in the home stands.

It is the middle of the main holiday season and the cost of travel and uncertainty of being able to return on the day would be the main reasons for the empty seats at Wembley though.

not sure about price..i thought it was total..but reports say that Porto got 30.5m euros for their share...so curious myself

Nasty is still a good player, might even be of to arsenal if reports are to be believed.

Yes and their share is quite someway of 100%, can't remember exactly but porto owning 60% rings a bell

Yes, some indicated it might be a bad keeper error...but look at the lob..hard to save a shot like that...never knew he had it in him

i liked him at start...but he fell away...that said..several players did...so he might have picked up lescott habits of just getting rid of the ball..even if it is to the opposition
