If they were playing anybody other than Arsenal, I’d agree. Diego Costa is just a turd all over - from his antics to his choosing Spain over Brazil, I have no reason whatsoever to like the guy.

You know who else face a challenge that can’t buy their way out of, because their manager refused to buy a world class striker again this summer?

Scully: Aww, he smiled at me!

they also played Maccabi Tel-Aviv. At home. City, United and Arsenal losing to Juventus, PSV, and Dinamo Zagreb (away) isn’t a disaster.

I don’t see what this has to do with the Patriots being a snake’s nest full of dirty cheaters.

Boy, you’ll be sorry when Arsenal start to get it together in March and end the season strong and compete for 3rd place and look like a huge threat next season! Just you wait!

Shut the fuck up, Palin.

ManU had a lengthy response to this piece all prepared, but they faxed it 15 minutes after the article was posted....

It was not legal,

I think for your dick joke Jambaroos you should retire Emmit Smith’s portion and replace it with a gobledygook inspirational nonsense quote from Ray Lewis.

I understand the platform that we are on. I do. It appears to be wood. With some stairs. And a podium. I understand that. What I can’t, for the life of me, figure out is why there has to be so goddamn many logos back there.
