Just noticed that Fabio Capello has now managed for as many games as Steve McLaren. Here's how their records compare:

McLAREN - ALL
P18 W9 D4 L5 F32 A12 - 1.78 goals a game

CAPELLO_ ALL
P18 W14 D2 L2 F50 A15 - 2.78 goals a game

McLAREN - COMPETITIVE
P12 W7 D2 L3 F24 A7 - 2 goals a game

CAPELLO - COMPETITIVE
P8 W8 D0 D0 F31 A5 - 3.88 goals a game

I can hear McLaren now spouting on how England had more competitive fixtures and a superior overall defensive record under his reign but I see little else in his favour.

Nice stats, thanks Tuumble. Although I think you should have included the fact that Steve has the most convincing foreign accent of the two

Man City put down a bit of a marker today.

Yes, on Van Persie's face.

Just been reminded of this, but it still stands as one of the most audacious pieces of skill ever: right foot volley, left foot volley lob over the keeper. Unbelievable!

Best Goal Ever

Looked like an own goal to me.

Do you want me to put <irony> tags around it? Bloody writers...

So Paul Scholes got sent off just because he's Paul Scholes. That's right. Because he's a dirty thug. What planet is ferguson on?
