Is Taylor Twellman infatuated with the sound of his own voice? For the love of God shut up!
Boo! I don’t want BWP to get the record. SKC has fallen way off the tracks.
The new Nike Ordem looks like they are kicking a watermelon around.
Why don’t Daly Blind’s teammates trust him?
What makes you think they don’t?
Numerous times he was open in the hole and they didn’t pass to him. He only ever got the ball when he dropped way back to retrieve. Of course, I kid a little. But, still…
Your conclusion that that means they don’t trust him is pretty extreme.
If they really didn’t trust him, he would not be on the field
Of course, then obviously if it’s not that they don’t trust him, then it must be tactical to stay wide instead of playing through middle. Stay with me.
Di Maria, Januzaj, Shaw, Rafael,
Man U mostly attacks with them bombing down the flanks. United have traditionally preferred to go down the wings.
Oh and you’d think Van Persie would certainly trust Blind, his WC teamate and provider of the cross for THAT WC goal.
EVERYBODY knows this, including Mourinho. I was merely wondering, through a joke you still don’t get, why LvG didn’t adjust and use Blind more effectively.
Blind is new.
LVG can do all the adjusting he wants but it will still take time.
And he is not he is not the play maker Di Maria is.
Right now, if you are a United player Di Maria is the guy you want with the ball when you are attacking.

Drogba!!!!!!! 1-0 Come on Chelsea!!!
This Melbourne Victory v City game is very end to end.
Haha. Aaron Lennon is “technically”a very good player. When did that happen?
The color commentator for Spurs v Newcastle is ruining this game. He’s so incredibly negative, everything is lacking and not good enough. It’s so depressing to listen to, anyone agree?
It’s Gary Lineker and he’s a moron.
There is not a lot of good to say about it.
Both teams are full of very talented underachievers. These guys are just going through the motions.
Tottenham with the early lead over the Seattle Sounders – I mean Newcastle
These faux Sounders could use Yedlin, Marshall, Ozzie, Martins and Clint.
morales starting for ingolstadt, wooten starting for sandhausen.
Atlanta Silverbacks played a good game last night. Too bad about the ref.
Ruben on but his team got a red card in like the 20th minute soooo PSV is treating them badly.
