Phil Neville is such a hateful little twat.

It's not often that looks match personality, but I've found them to be spot on in his case.

Tim! Good to have you back, mate. This place has missed you. Ok, I have missed you anyway...

Love that Man U has a replay. They looked awful.

Hi Klausie and Yves, I missed you both greatly. Such wonderful online personalities.

Hey Rex.

Always a pleasure to see you around, Tim.

Rex.

Now I remember why I didn't miss you for a long time.

You been on a great ol' walkabout or something btw?

dunno really. Season was over after about 3 games and was busy with work and stuff.

Timboooo?!

Rumour had it you were a catfish account and that you'd duped Nela

What is this the fucking Timbo thread?
Lets stay on topic!

So who dya fancy wins the Cup?

Tim.

Anyone watching palace? Read that Chamakh and Sanogo have both scored.

Chamakh has scored twice and Yaya once. Not watching the game unfortuntately, but it sounds encouraging.

From someone there: GOAL! Sanogo 2-2. Great play by Wilf to turn the defender and set him up. Shot deflects in past the 'keeper but was already on target #cpfc

A real poacher our Sanogo is.

Sounds like Zaha is having another brilliant game. I would so sign that kid if he didn't already belong to United.

Clean shots are too easy to save, you have a better chance of deceiving the keeper if you can get a deflection on the way. Welbeck could learn a thing or two.

Fabianski with a howler in the Swansea game. How has he been doing?

Naah. 

Middlesbrough just scored on City.

HAHAHAHA.. Boro.. lol

Such an useless attempt at a clearance from Fernando too. The ball was barely moving by the time he kicked it right at Bamford.

Borough going all in for a second goal now. Jesus, City are poor.

Apparently City just came back from the middle east last night, had to play in a friendly too. Bonkers.

Hah - that's mental.

The Middlesbrough goal is 80% on Kompany. Weak back pass to the keeper.

Great game this.

OMG how did Tomlin not score.. what a fuckin move..

Amazing turn from this Tomlin chap.

Hits the post.

Borough hit the post! That was an absolutely world class piece of skill from Tomlin. He's half Dennis Bergkamp and a third Fonzarelli, as the saying goes.

Navas is shite

Sort of pales in comparison to Vincent Kompany though. He's halfway through one of the most spineless defensive performances I've ever seen. He looks like a Championship defender for the umpteenth game in a row. What an awful captain.

Kompany's been on a downward trajectory for a while.

Fernandinho commits to a sliding tackle about a minute after the ball has moved on. Clever guy.

Yep. I thought he was poor last season too, but at least there was still the feeling that he was playing below his level at that point. This is his level now.

I wonder what Zabaleta will blame that miss on... hair hanging down in his eyes?

Doesn't make any sense, defenders don't generally become shit overnight. It's not like he's old, should be in his prime.

Hasn't he been injured for ages?

Christ, the Middlesbrough players are full of confidence. Turns, nutmegs and volleys.

amazing
