we'll see. I hope you are right.

As for pens and free kicks, I think he'll be first choice. Can't think of anyone who takes a better free kick.

Don't think Rooney will give up pens unless he misses a few in succession.

That Charlie Adam is good at free-kicks I hear.

In all seriousness, whether he was bitter or not Arsenal supporting mate was saying his fk’s were actually ****. I thought he was very good too, I wonder what his stats are like. Hopefully another Riise.

Excellent, that's weakened them somewhat. Is Moutinho a worthy replacement?

And a reaction from a Marseille fan.

He did mention on Twitter a few days ago that he might go abroad. Didn't think the Marseille fans would be this upset.

After what he did to Ousmane Dabo at City the Marseille reaction will be very interesting, given the majority of Marseille fans are also of North African descent. A strange move to say the least.

[Fredo]

Haha that's a strange move. Marseilles is a great club and they expect better especially since PSG are strengthening.
