I remember when Sturridge was at Man City I thought he would be unbelievable even at that age. I guess they wanted success right away instead of helping him progress. Chelsea on the other hand were idiots to let him go. He's world class.

Str8 Pimpin'
I'm really hoping Newcastle can get someone in to replace Cabaye on the deadline...
In other news what a farce it was with Remy. The other lad got let off for dramatising the entire situation of a couple of heads locking and Remy still gets HIS ban upheld? come on FA, get your act together, there's more to the Premier League than London clubs and the North West.
Both players were as bad as one and other so if one gets their ban overturned the other should. Ridiculous.
I honestly don't even think Newcastle can beat Sunderland this Saturday. If we lose I won't be going home on the metro because some idiots will just run riot through the city.
LET THE HAMMER FALL
IIRC Sturridge was the one who requested the transfer because he thought he wasn't getting enough game time with us because we were still putting him in prospect level. I was pissed when we let him go, especially to chelsea given that I'm pretty sure we'd just got the now forever ruined Shaun Wright-Phillips back off them. You would have thought Danny would have learnt from that lesson but apparently not.
I have a United mad colleague at work who rants and raves about Januzaj and how he's world class and the best young player in the world all day. He's getting this in his inbox this morning.
Impressive stats for both of them for such young players! In your friend's defence, Januzaj is in his first PL season while Sterling is in his third, although that isn't to take anything away from the Sterling (I can't say much about the guy as I haven't seen much of him). In your opinion, having seen Sterling, would you say he's got the talent to be the Next Big Thing? Not sure if you've seen Januzaj play, but if you have, how would you compare the two?
EDIT: Also, where can you get those kind of stats for players?
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
To compare the two, they're both young players with good potential but nowhere near the finished article. If I was a betting man, I'd say Januzaj has the attributes to be better, but I'm not going to tell him that... you know me, I like the wind up!He was stunned when I sent him those stats, hahaha. He said the same thing you did and I said "Well, that's because he was good enough at 17 to earn that experience!"
Sterling has had a great season so far and absolutely shredded Spurs and Everton. He is going to be the Next Big Thing in so much as Wright-Phillips, Lennon, Walcott and now Andros Townsend were. I would say he is one of the fastest players in the league and he is very good at dribbling... woeful finishing. Of the four, I think he will end up as good as Walcott. So he'll be a very good Premier League player and will be in the England squad for the next 10 years... but he's not going to be the next Ronaldo or Messi.
WhoScored.com is my favourite footy stats site but there are plenty of others like Opta. They have neat little extra details on player's strengths, weaknesses and playing traits. For example, Januzaj is great at through balls but has poor discipline.
Harry Redknapp, you've got to love him. There must be TV crews camped outside his house all day. He must finish his lunch, say to his wife "Right...I'm just going to head down the shops...", and off he goes.

5live are tweeting me about Everton transfers. I've never felt like such a football fan.
My favourite part was the AFC Wimbledon twitter feed, in particular these tweets:

Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
Yeah, Wimbledon and hawkman were triumphs.
In other transfer window related news.... smurf. Well, I never wanted to qualify for the Champions League anyway.Ian Ayre is a moron. smurfed up on Mkhitaryan, Willian and Diego Costa in the Summer and now Salah and Ukrainian Long Name Man in January. Awful.
Man, talk about "whatever can go wrong" in this game.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I'm listening to it on Radio 5 Live, and I think I'm driving everyone else in the room crazy. I swear, every game I watch/listen....
Doesn't look like we can break them down either. It'll stay 2-1.
God damn deflections! The same thing happened against Chelsea when we started off the better team.

Honestly, this is the first game that I feel Moyes has got it all wrong. It hasn't gone his way with all the injuries etc, but to put Rooney into midfield was the wrong choice. Despite that, everything has just... really not worked out at all. Wind, injuries, decisions by players, decisions by manager. Just one big load of horribleness. Despite that, I do feel the goals have been against the run of play. We've been better than Stoke in every way but goalscoring. Crazy, considering we had Welbeck, Rooney, RVP AND Mata (and Young, I suppose, since he's in form) all playing at once. Not to mention Hernandez on late for RVP.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
6 points off 4th, and Liverpool have a game in hand. Not looking good for Utd. They'll finish above us, but that's not exactly a terrific achievement!
