Only just seen the ACN result, its two legged but 4-2 lead for the generally much stronger team.... Newcastle keep both strikers through the season if Senegal can't win the home leg by 2 goals or more.
 
Well, Chelsea were domestically successful with a cup to their name, just not absolutely so (as in, they didn't win everything and crucially not the league).

What is that award based on because it just says 'european and domestic achievements' which would seem odd wouldn't it....

For the outstanding achievement of winning both the FA Cup and Champions League. It must be very odd not to understand that but then maybe you didn't notice .... :p

6th in the domestic season and really poor football to win the CL. Does the award just go to the winner of the CL because if Chelsea didn't win that, it would have been a dire season.
 
Van Persie out for rest of season after Ferguson shouted at him:

ROBIN Van Persie is expected to be out for at least nine months after some very loud shouting by Sir Alex Ferguson

The new Manchester United star is convalescing in Holland where trained soothers are giving him a temple massage with spa water infused with essence of tulip.

Following United’s defeat to Everton, Van Persie was horrified to discover that his new manager used very nasty swear words and spoke in an aggressive tone.

Minutes later, psychiatric nurses were called to the dressing room and Van Persie was removed in a wheel chair, sobbing uncontrollably as a wet patch spread rapidly over his groin.

The Dutch star said: “Such awful words. And he threw a cup. No one has ever spoken to me like that – not my mother, my teacher, my pastor and certainly not Mr Wenger.

“My parents were artists in Rotterdam, When I was 14 and some rough girls teased me about my bow legs I ran weeping to my mother. She said to ignore them, that I had been granted twinkle toes by the angels and I was destined to dance through life, free of all horridness. But now this beastly man…”

When he first joined Feyenoord, Van Persie’s mother issued him with a note, passed on in turn to Arsene Wenger, stating that he had ‘delicate bones, delicate ligaments, delicate hamstrings and especially, delicate nerves – he is my delicate little fairy artist boy’.

But the note never reached Old Trafford and may have been lost along with Van Persie’s cotton wool padded romper suit.

Sir Alex said: “I thought I was pretty mild – I just called him a ‘useless wee bucket of ****’.

“He started crying so I said to him, ‘harden up, it’s not as if you’re living in Glasgow’. Then he said, ‘what’s Glasgow?’ and so I told him and he started crying again.”

I know its Goal but they have a good source from City because they have done a few articles related to the running of the club and got them right. They mentioned our new CEO way before anyone else etc.

If those numbers are right for this year and you factor in the new Nike sponsorship, increased TV money as well as the other new sponsorships we have got eg Richard Mille then we may end up spending less than the 80m expected in 2013.

If we were to buy anyone then of course our spending goes back up but I can't see it. We are now rid of all the players Mancini didn't want and so he now has a strong squad of his own players. Unless Dzeko or someone was to leave we won't be spending imo.
