Lol, maybe when I have a job. For now, I will have to use the pixellated goodness of Chromecast

It doesn't matter if our defending isn't that good, if we can get our attack clicking with the players we have, we should be scoring over 2 goals per game. Falcao doesn't need a lot of chances to score and if we can supply him with 5 good chances in a game, most likely he will be able to score 3 of them.
So the game is actually at 3:00 CET and not 2:30
Falcao better play now!!

I think he'll be on the bench at most. The Colombia coach said he had a busy week or something so would be unlikely to start.
Yup, Falcao is on the bench. Game starts shortly.
Columbia's passing was atrocious, they were a man down but their passing was shockingly bad. I'm glad the Guarin rumours weren't true, awful player. James Rodriguez my word, he was the best of a bad bunch but did RM really sell us Di Maria for this guy Lol, £60m was a bargain if this guy cost £70m. Falcao didnt do much, had a couple touches and almost had chance on goal with a header, impressed with his movement upfront, got himself free into spaces and didn't run aimlessly around the pitch which I like. Hope to see more of him in the next match as Columbia just couldn't hold on to the ball long enough for Falcao to get on the end of it.
The crowd were chanting for him to come on all through the second half and when he did the reaction was like something from a WWE event when a big star returns. 
Colombia were so bad he barely got a chance to get involved in his 15 minutes but he did have one decent lay-off and a half chance header, the most pleasing aspect was the sprightliness of his movement looking to create space for a pass should one of his teammates manage to learn how to pass.

Canadian ref was terrible. Sent Cuadrado off on a 2nd yellow for a pretty innocuous foul on Neymar. Neymar got fouled again later and did one of the most epic triple salchow rolls I've ever seen. Looked like his body was bouncing off coils on the pitch! He also scored the game's only goal from an amazing free kick into the top corner.

As much as I love Falcao... and he is quite similar, Batigol was something else in his prime.

Off to find this roll of Neymar!!I know it was a very short outing for him but that showed no fitness concerns or lack of pace. Looked sprightly enough.
Not sure if you are old enough for this to mean anything but it was A Team quality!
Some footage of him in his Atletico days to tide us over to next week:
Powerful running, dynamic, good dribbling, strong as an ox, great hold up play and bullet headers

What's up with the short sleeves and gloves? Sunny, rainy, cloudy always wearing gloves.
Why would he not be? His surgery was back in January and he starting rehab back in February.

I'm still really really nervous about this transfer for some reason
I think its because on the one hand, I'm ridiculously excited about the prospect of the player we've seen over the last few years playing for United, but on the other, I'm worried about him not being as good as that because of the injuries, and flopping.

El Tigre!
I wouldn't be worried about that, he's played 40+ games a season since he's arrive in Europe after his initial damage to one of his knees and apart from that big injury to his knee which he's been given since February to recover from, he doesn't seem to get injured that much.I'm still really really nervous about this transfer for some reason

I was delighted with vanP,but Falcao,feck me weve lucked out.
Genuinely i dont think ive been this happy about a signing.

DI Maria?
Nope. Hes a dream component but always slated him for being a diver but i may have been a little harsh.
People think Costa will tear this league up and he will, but he ll do it Our Radamels shadow though.

Most importantly he's got a fighting spirit, which is what a lot of quality players lack coming into the EPL. He's going to be brilliant here

Defiantly comes alive inside the box alright. Doesn't seem to offer anything special outside the box, has good hold up, and is strong. But inside the box he seems to just burst alive. I just hope we manage to provide him with the ammunition to score a bucket load
He has that Carlos Tevez feistiness! Loved that in Tevez and to be honest missed it a lot when he left. Another bonus is that Radamel doesn't seem like a complete scumbag! Let the good times roll ladies and gents!
I agree, if I had to name my favourite life time eleven, Batistuta would definately be one of the best strikers that I didnt pick, when Serie A was the big league and on channel 4 before the days of satellite tv and the internet he was one of the best players year in year out, phenomenal striker....to have signed someone similar in both style and talent is very exciting. If Falcao can have half the impact for us Batistuta did at Fiorentina this year we will definately be makign the signing permanent in the summer!
He has tremendous physical strength doesn't he?? I didn't know he had that kind of strength. He can just brush off three four players and power on through! He's one of those strikers that will have an aura of fear around them. A total beast of a number nine.
Not to mention that he didn't risk the World Cup and that would have done him a world of good. 6 months out of the game, and he's had a full pre-season to get his fitness up. Interestingly, he does say that he's not fully there yet, so that leads me to believe that he may not start against QPR. Then again, Robin would have played two games and would need a little rest. Though, he would have recovered for the most bit by Sunday after the game on Tuesday.What's up with the short sleeves and gloves? Sunny, rainy, cloudy always wearing gloves.

It's up in the air at the moment.
The thought of that... jesus.
Yeah, I think that might be the case. Will be on the bench at least though and what an option to call upon.
Colombia only had one game though which has been played, so depending on the visa issues he should have a full weeks worth of training at Carrington and might be ready to start.
His goal against Barca is one of my favorites so far I think. He took it from the half way line with pace and when everyone would have tried something special or tried to do tricks and go around the keeper, all he did was just chip the ball so calmly as soon as he got into the penalty box. When I watched that live, I was like WOW! Such a cool finish.
Interestingly, he's already played two games for Monaco and he played an hour in one of those matches. He's match-fit, but he didn't play against Brazil because we really worked his knee to the hilt. Apparently we gave him a very intense his test on his body fitness hoping to avoid another Hargreaves scenario and that's why he was tired out for Colombia. What did we do to him!?
6 squats with anderson on his shoulders!
That is a hard test. Apparently it testes their balances as well like a wobble board with Anderson eating donuts at the same time.
That can get pretty intense.
Falcao's jersey might be the first real jersey I purchase from MUFC if he stays
I seriously cannot wait to see him in a united shirt! Next week cannot come quick enough for me.
