Not just that, Pellegrini got his tactics right. He thought they could blow us away last time and was too gung-ho but this is a very controlled performance tbf.

Bentaleb pledges international future to Algeria- Algeria's World Cup hopes have been boosted after Tottenham Hotspur's Nabil Bentaleb pledged his international future to the North Africans.

@SCORCH even though its the FA cup, quite an eye-opening performance. No one really played other than iva and Azi...rest was just downright shyt. Credit to Pellegrini though...he got his tactics spot on.

We got a week off before everton comes to the bridge. We need to shrug off this performance and the one against west brom and get back to playin football

FA Cup was the least of Jose's priorities and we've just improved our title chances imho. Jose throwing the game and adding yet another match onto City's already congested fixture list. The man is a genius

Here's hoping Arsenal and Liverpool draw tomorrow with a few red cards in there for good measure.

Twente fans chanting "Chelsea take your trash back" as they wallop Vitesse


Chelsea neem je rotzooi mee

 

[Scottie Drippin]

in the old days, they used to show random matches. You would get La Liga, Ligue 1, etc. No idea why, and it was never consistent.

Mexicans being unorganized, you say?

You my mans so this ain't directed at you but I seen a few people, opposing fans esepecially say this Like dead ass, Jose doesn't want the FA Cup, he's relieved, Special One does it again







@thatknickfan Melo's comments this weekend, eerily similar to the ones he made back in Denver about winning a few years back before he was traded. Only thing the Knicks have going for them is all that cap space in the coming years.

Damn Inter dominted their first game since like 2010

 

[Scottie Drippin]

I was going to use the SAS smileys in a solid two parter but don't have them saved and didn't have the time to make it happen at work

Really let some daps flutter away with that one. [insert penfield down on myself smiley]

Morrison vs. West Ham, good read.

Towards the end of last year, Morrison was invited to a meeting with the football agent Mark Curtis to see if he wanted to become one of his clients. Curtis does this a fair bit with Allardyce's players. At West Ham, he either represents or has links with Allardyce, Kevin Nolan, James Tomkins, Jack Collison, Matt Jarvis, Andy Carroll, Jussi Jaaskelainen and Adrian. Look through his history and there is a fairly astounding pattern of players signing up to him from Allardyce teams. He also has a chequered past of his own, with an official warning from the Football Association after the 2008 investigation into Luton Town's illegal transfer dealings.

Morrison was not keen but, since then, his complaint is that he has felt under considerable pressure from Allardyce and Nolan to change his mind, claiming it is brought up on an almost daily basis. His grievance is that he wanted to go into training to learn and improve, not to have endless conversations about an agent he did not want to employ.

West Ham have put this to the relevant people and they strenuously deny it. Curtis says it is "nonsense" but Morrison has become disillusioned with his manager and captain. Allardyce has talked of Morrison complaining about a groin injury when the medical staff could find no problem. Relationships have broken down. A few months ago, Morrison appeared to have the keys to the football universe. Now he cannot wait to get out of the club.
