Obertan is a wierd one.

Ferguson seemed to basically buy him because he was fast and did stepovers. Didn't he sign him the same summer he signed Bebe too?

It was defo a strange one. I think Laurent Blanc even told Fergie he wasn't good enough.

No Obertan was signed before Bebe I think. Both master strokes by Fergie though Lips Sealed

If Pardew gets Newcastle into top 6 by the end of the season, he has to be manager of the year does he not? I know a lot of people are giving the guy from Swansea a lot of praise but he did not arguably lose his 3 or 4 best players all within months of each other last year.

A result in a tough game against Swansea and I would say it is job done for Newcastle providing they don't lose every game after that which is massively unlikely.

Hopefully if Tiote goes they get top dollar for him, I watched a bit of the game yesterday and every spare ball he picks up and every man in trtouble he is the one providing a pass for. You stick him in any team in the prem and he makes a big difference I don't care who they have in their centre mid.

Reckon so mate yeah. It's him or Rogers at any rate. Fergie's done it too many times now to get manager of the year. He'd need to win Prem/champs league double again to be in with a shout. If City end up winning it Mancini might get a look in.

Tiote is good but the type of player he is I can't see him going for much more than 18-20 mil. Might be wrong

What he did was playacting and making the most of an opportunity, don't like it myself but it got the job done. Reina would have been sent off no matter what Perch did in that situation. Personally I think it ironically was probably the best thing to do...he knows if he stays on his feet there then there would be more ricks, so by going to ground thats the situation over.
What Carroll did was just out and out cheating.

And feigning injury, going down like you have been shot and getting a fellow pro sent off isn't out and out cheating ??

I see what your saying but it gets my back up when these guys go down like that, I remember Wayne Bridge doing it once against Arsenal when I think Eboe grazed his face

Embarrassing.

I think that's a lot worse than trying to win a penalty.

I only listening on the radio to the match but united seem to be all over Blackburn! Granted Blackburn have had the better chances and David has had a good game for us but...... Still 10min left.

What a player Valencia is turning in to. I have to say I thought he was a bit too one dimensional to be truely world class but he just keeps on improving.

Its not worse than trying to win a penalty when theres no contact made by the keeper and your through on goal anyway. Reina was getting sent off either way, Carroll is a disgrace.

Perchinio is also a tit for doing that I agree on that part.

We will have to agree to disagree although I will say I'm baffled why you think Andy Carroll is more of a disgrace than that Perch guy.
