TBH, the issue of his lazyness seems to have been focused on as of late but it was the same at Madrid. Mourinho always subbed him in games because he tired quickly.

He's not lazy..... he is the type of player who can't and shouldn't be made to do the defensive side of the game, he needs to sit behind the striker and be allowed to find space to make things happen, asking him to play left wing against arguably the best right back in the world, track his runs is stupid, he isn't that type of player but lazy he is not.

Swansea fans on reddit seem quite impressed with how their team are playing. If anything, I'd be disappointed. They should have won this.

Amazed Napoli, with their team on paper, haven't won. But seems to have a shite game.

BTW, don't forget your PL picks guys - no-one has predicted yet.

I'm not bothered, I'm at the top ;)

Wayne Rooney has united bent over...

I've lost all respect for united as a club, he'll likely become captain next season aswell, he gives zero shits about the club and the only reason he is staying is because no club will give him more than 150k a week

He's got a fucking dick of an agent but a very good one who pulls the strings perfectly.

I'm not chuffed about paying him £300,000 but he's got to deliver to satisfy the wages he's being paid. It's amazing he's getting paid more than Messi but assume that will be resolved once the Barcelona star re-negotiates his contract.

It's easy to get all emotional about money but I'd put the onus on Rooney now - he's got what he wanted now he has to deliver. End of. If he doesn't, consistently, then the fans will let him know about it.

But I fear for RVP's future now. I think Moyes might shift him out as the reported unsettling of RVP since SAF retired and getting used to management has been reported. If it means getting the best out of Mata and playing him behind the striker then I'd be OK for RVP to go because I don't really see the

Mata, Rooney, Januzaj
RVP

working at all.

You lot should have sold him.

It's clear he doesn't want to be a United player as he's tried to leave twice, everyone knows he doesn't like Moyes and there's no way on earth he's worth 300k per week. United look like fools imo.

He has but in the end he signed a new deal with a wage increase - signs of an experienced agent who knows how to squeeze money out of a club and press the right buttons. He actually gets on well with Moyes now - some might say abit too much because Moyes has talked him up so much this season that reports say some players are abit miffed at the Wayne love in. His wage is £300,000 but that's not his net pay - probably lower but increased with bonuses. I personally wouldn't have cried had he left but he's here so he better fucking deliver.

Also, that statue of Bergkamp is sweet.

Will someone tell Marouane Chamakh that there's no need to put a whole tub of gel in his hair? He looks like a dick. It's like no one has let him in on the gag.

Satisfied with the 3 points, but Dzeko was quite disappointing.

United really needed that win, they played a good game. Januzaj is so fun to watch.

Villa game has been boring although I hope they win and would say it's been an even contest. I still don't rate Agbonlahor - think he's among the worst finishers in the league and Benteke needs to step it up a bit, it's almost like he's trying too hard.

Sky fucked up not putting the Liverpool game on TV, 3-3 as it stands. Not a shock to see Liverpool concede two very cheap goals, one deflection and the other a penalty both coming from the ever liable Skrtel.

Euro 2016 draw:
A: Netherlands, Kazakhstan, Iceland, Latvia, Turkey, Czech Republic
B: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Andorra, Cyprus, Wales, Israel, Belgium
C: Spain, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Belarus, Slovakia, Ukraine
D: Germany, Gibraltar, Georgia, Scotland, Poland, Republic of Ireland
E: England, San Marino, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia, Switzerland
F: Greece, Faroe Islands, Northern Ireland, Finland, Romania, Hungary
G: Russia, Liechtenstein, Moldova, Montenegro, Austria, Sweden
H: Italy, Malta, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Norway, Croatia
I: Portugal, Albania, Armenia, Serbia, Denmark

Home Nations POV - England should safely get through without any issues. Scotland/ROI will fight out Poland for the play-off spot with Germany getting through. Wales is a decent group but think Bosnia might edge them out. Northern Ireland's group is fairly decent but depends if they can get all their players in and playing to give them a chance.
