It looked like a probable tear of his ankle ligaments. Could be anywhere between a few weeks and a few months out depending on how bad the tear was.

Thought it was the top of the foot? Well, the face if you get me, i.e. metatarsal area?

The Moldy Gowl

It looked like he just fell on it funny, bit of ice and rest it for a week? He continued on which is a good thing.



Whats the story with Anderson? our favourite son. Does he even get into the match squad or play with the reserves?

He might have done more damage because he continued.

Just on the sarcasm front.. on subtitles they use (!) Alot to show that the person talking is being sarcastic.. maybe ye could try that.

Shaw went over on his ankle- ya could see it on the replay. Hopefully just stretched his ligament rather than a tear.

Is he not on loan with Fiorentina?

I'd say it's just a sprain, should be 50/50 for the weekend.

He's still with first team.. God knows why. Nobody wants him.

Howard Webb defending wilshires headbutt. Said Mike dean can understand why he didn't book him!!

Absolute bollix.

Neville and carragher can't believe it.

Agreed, fellaini did him a favour. If he goes down and starts Rolling around then it's a straight red. He shouldn't have a do that though for the referee to take action.

MojoRisinnnn

Web talking absolute bollox there, won't admit that Dean ****ed up that Wilshere incident, Carragher was in disbelief with the **** he was coming out with, as was Neville towards the end. What's the point of him going on tv if he's just going to defend all his colleagues even when they had a stinker, just grow a pair and admit it

J. Marston

On 6 August 2014, the Premier League announced that Webb had retired from active refereeing in order to take up the role of technical director of the Professional Game Match Officials Board.

Webb obviously isn't going to criticise his buddies. Being a Premier League ref must be one the most protected positions in the world.

Rayne Wooney

Brendan Rodgers is a brilliant manager (!)

The Moldy Gowl

Brenda or davey m? They are both very similar.

Not sure who I would prefer

I thought it was the ankle, open to correction though.

Talk of him going on loan to Gremio in January with a view to them signing him, anyone can sign him at the end of the season anyway so make the most of our "midfield magician" while you can

Could have been, just how it looked to me at the time. I saw it first and thought he rolled his ankle, then on the replay I thought he came down on awkwardly and damaged his foot, knowing our luck its probably both actually now I think about it.

I heard he got offered a role as Norma out of Shameless, so he might stay in Manchester after all

Southampton drawing tonight. Some order being restored hopefully.

Rayne Wooney

I fully expect them to drop to 7th or 8th after the next 9 games, they have had a cushy run so far

Us twice, Arsenal twice, City, Chelsea and Everton coming up

Fair play to Southamption. I'd rather see them there than a lot of other teams.

In their next 9 games Southampton play City, Arsenal home and away, United home and away, and Chelsea.

Irrelevant. They're second in November and they haven't spent next or near what teams are expected to when in the top four at any point in the season. Is anyone expecting them to destroy the Chelseas, Citys or United of this world? No, but we can appreciate what they've done having lost their best players.....apparently.

How is it Irrelevant? They're ahead of United in the league

kryogen

We can, while acknowledging they have had a soft schedule to this point. Like I said I am interested to see how they will finish up at the end of the season, Koeman is a solid manager who has his teams improve as the season goes on historically, I think they could be a realistic candidate for Europa League if they can keep fit

Irrelevant. Points are points. Their points per game should fall and the fixtures may affect ongoing form. They won't finish 2nd.

dahat

Sunderland game on the 28th February, looks like I will be going to this or a later game but prefer this one.

Anyone more clued in than me able to advise a couple of things.

1) liklehood of it being moved
2) Best travel method as in flights etc.

ok, I'm sorry for finding the use of "RETARDED" incorrectly offensive. Should I grow a thicker skin? Using that word to imply stupidity is awful.

Isn't that pretty much the same relationship we have with Antwerp? We sent the Chinese guy Dong there to get a work permit.

Its up there with the 'N' word for "coloured" (for want of a better word also!) people in my opinion, but I'll leave it at that. This isn't the place to be harping on about it.
