From your high school years to now, you've never finished above us, I know you smell blood right now but if I was you, the nightmares of 15 years of non achievement would mean I'd shut the fuck up unt

you'll have to wait a long long while before you see a less inspiring Manchester United Performance than what was on display tonight,

hope were just saving it all for City

expecting to hear the usual stuff about, "there are no easy games in the Champions league" though.

hopefully Cleverly's back this weekend need the spark in Midfield

cannae wait for Sunday, will be an emotional occasion!

gonna say this just so the opposite happens,

its gonna be a shite 0-0 draw where neither team goes for the win, with no talking points except for the OT mouse making a reappearance to emphasise the the fact that certain parts of the pitch were completely barren

Thought this was a decent read, and (while negative) is a slightly depressing view of the potential future of the Premier League -

One unbeaten run ends, another one begins…

For all the brave talk of fancying us to get a result at Manchester City, it was never really on the cards. Even if Gabby had scored the chance he had early on, City would have been able to recover. They could afford to rest players and still have some on the bench who could walk into any other side in the league. I don’t know what’s more galling – the fact that they could beat us without breaking sweat, or that you know they’ll do it to all but two or three other teams they play all season.

Games like this make you realise that unless we can find a spare £500 million lying around, the biggest problem we face can’t be fixed by anyone at Villa Park. The game needs a fundamental change if it’s going to survive but there doesn’t seem to be the desire to change it. The underlying ethos of fair competition began to fall apart when clubs were allowed to keep all their gate receipts and was irrevocably damaged with the formation of the Premier League; calls for clubs to negotiate their own TV deals and for Saturday 3pm kick-offs to be televised may be resisted at the moment, but I’d be willing to bet that while Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre is being condemned publically, in private the owners of the other top clubs are glad someone’s said what they’ve long been thinking. Liverpool, Chelsea and the gruesome Manchester twosome don’t want competition. The bulk of their future income isn’t going to come from their traditional supporters turning up to watch the match and enjoying the spectacle of a hard-fought victory – it’ll be from their fan bases around the world and they don’t care about whether the Premier League is a procession or not. They want to see their team on TV and they want to see them win. Matches such as the one on Saturday are the shape of things to come – Villa and another 15 teams are the modern equivalent of the opponents the Harlem Globetrotters used to take on tour, there to put up a bit of a show but ultimately accept defeat without much fuss.

If I was a conspiracy theorist I’d be thinking that the Premier League are finding it harder to justify their ‘Greatest League in the World’ tag with every Champions League final that goes by without an English winner, so they want the top clubs to get richer and more powerful at the expense of the rest. But that, of course, is just paranoia.

Back to the Villa. We didn’t capitulate, we fought until the final whistle. We just weren’t good enough. Saturday’s game with Albion – and by now you should know the history behind this one – will be a much significant test of where we stand.

D.C. United striker Charlie Davies has filed a $20 million lawsuit against the owner of a nightclub and the company that hosted a party at which alcohol was served to the driver responsible for a car accident that severely injured the soccer player and killed another passenger.

The suit, filed in D.C. Superior Court last week, names Das Enterprises, which operates Shadow Room, and Red Bull North America, the host of the private event on Oct. 12, 2009, at the K Street establishment.

The lawsuit claims the companies continued to serve alcohol to Maria Alejandra Espinoza, even though she “became visibly intoxicated.”

An initial conference is scheduled for Jan. 13.

Espinoza, from Clarksville, Md., was sentenced in March to two years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter and maiming while driving intoxicated.

Ashley Roberta, of Phoenix, Md., was killed in the accident. Davies’s injuries included a ruptured bladder, bleeding in the brain, and facial, rib, leg and elbow fractures. He returned to pro soccer last year and joined United before the 2011 season.

The suit asserts that some of Davies’s injuries caused permanent disfigurement in the form of multiple scars and that he will continue to face substantial medical expenses. It also says Davies “suffered, and will continue to suffer, great pain of body and mind.”

In addition, the suit states, Davies was unable to continue playing for the U.S. national team, ending his hopes of competing at the 2010 World Cup. Davies was a regular on the squad before the accident and hasn’t received a call-up since.

Although he resumed his pro career, Davies wasn’t able to continue on the path that might have led to a major contract with a European club. He was playing for French club Sochaux before the accident occurred.

WOW
