Well that would be dire. Wonder if Mancini will end up there, were big rumours about it last year.
Yeah, I suspect it won't happen. Wouldn't be a good move for Falcao himself in anything other than a purely financial sense, and I should have thought he'd be bright enough to realise that.

Rumour has it that no one can match the money Monaco are willing to offer so I can't see him moving to England. The culture, language and weather are a big change, he probably won't have had any childhood attachment to the English teams and none of them are anywhere near good enough to attract him for "pure footballing" reasons. If he could he'd maybe go to Barca, Madrid or Bayern but if they're not in for him I'd say he'll just go to the highest bidder.

The Premiership's only hope is that France's socialist government comes to the rescue.

It does seem that PSG and Monaco are willing to outbid everyone else at the moment.

Might be underselling United a little bit there though, still a pretty massive draw for most players I would have thought. Think we can be almost certain that he would be a success in England if he did come, just really hope he doesn’t go to Chelsea.

There was talk earlier IIRC, but recently there have been rumours that he may take over from Ancelotti as coach actually when he leaves. Either way he is really close to the owners there and Zlatan from a couple of weeks has been giving indications that he might consider leaving.

Arsenal vs Wigan so massive now.

EDIT: Ahhhh just realised that Wigan play Aston Villa in the last round, meaning that it's between those two, plus Sunderland, trying to avoid the last relegation spot (assuming Wigan beat Arsenal).

Watching a replay of the FA Cup final. I feel sorry for Zab, only had to make the second challenge because his three incompetent teammates kept backing off.

Reckon Clichy's crossing accuracy was 1/40, terrible.

And Barry was useless.

Alan Pardew warns Tottenham fans: Arsenal can beat Newcastle 4-0 for all I care

The visitors had to hang on after goalkeeper Rob Elliot saw red for a second caution but got the points to ensure they will stay up.
‘I’m very pleased. It was a very important game for this football club,’ said Pardew.
‘I thought the first ten minutes we were almost playing with a noose around our neck we were so tense and tight.
‘I don’t really care if Arsenal win 4-0 [next weekend], if I’m honest. I’m sure Spurs will, but I only care that our fans enjoy themselves.’

Probably too put him in the shop window, so someone takes his big wages off their books in the summer. Didn't work too well, mind.

It's never been any better than that, at any point in his career. His positioning/marking/tackling is scarcely any better either. No idea how anyone continues to rate him, he's awful, and has been for a long time now.

Sad to see that the players can't celebrate with the fans, even of the reasons are understandable

and those that hate United, which is everyone right?

Don't think Mancini was that bad, but no doubt that he has done a poor job this season. Pellegrini will be a very sound appointment,

Thought Mancini wasn't helped with the lack of quality players he was able to bring in this season.

So much change!
