Things To Do:
- Finish Barcelona vs Real Madrid (8/23)
- Finish United vs Stoke City
- Watch Manchester City at Liverpool
- Watch Match of the Day
I don't think I have enough time left for all of this and going grocery shopping.
My running theory is that that thread exists because there are furries on GAF. I could be wrong, though.

I will forever be the first poster in that thread. I thought it would get closed or something.
DC, please, stop even contemplating it.
DeDay's a myth, and one dispelled by a press conference last Tuesday, if it even needed dispelling. De Rossi isn't leaving his club to come and play for City.
It won't.
Nice article written about Liverpool's new number 4 on the eve of his move to Madrid. By Raphael Honigstein.

Nani is one of United's best players and he was United's best player in 2010-11.
You're talking about a winger that produced 10 goals and 21 assists just 2 seasons ago. Some people say he wasn't that great last season and yet he still produced 10 goals and 14 assists last season. Nani can play on both sides of the wing (where as Young and Valencia would be much much less effective if they were to switch sides), and can play in tight spaces. We won't be able to get a better winger this late in the transfer window.

Maybe whatever you get for him will cover the summer spending.
Yes and yes.
We just need to believe. There is always a chance.
Liverpool and City was a very good game. Liverpool played some lovely football.
City last season looked almost unstoppable at times. But Liverpool made them look average today.
I don't think 5 changes and a changes formation helped city though.
#basedmarwood may have other plans.
His flight is booked to Italy tomorrow, first it's to Rome and then on to Naples.
Fantastic bullshit, but bullshit nonetheless.

Good point for my scouse boys today
People won't be surprised to hear I think Hart should be doing better for the second goal, he lines up his wall and shouldn't be getting beat by a shot going around it from there unless its Robbie Carlos type power

You need to put Debuchy back in your avatar as well. Where is the hope?
You're only saying that because you want Joe Cole.
Exactly.
Which is why I think we won't sign anyone if we sell Nani. I also think we shouldn't be looking for a like for like replacement either. Right now United are too reliant on shipping the ball out to the wings. We have two players that are more comfortable playing in central positions, Kagawa and RVP. Right now they're getting bypased as our players are more comfortable playing out to the wings rather than centrally.
I'd like to see us buy a CM and another attacking midfielder.

Where did this based marwood business come from? All he's done this season is overpay for Rodwell and piss off Mancini.

Glad to see people are starting to realise he isn't just a squad player and shirt seller

I am sorry, Kyoufu, but they do exist. And Wooden, I had no idea you were a furry. The things you learn about people in these topics!
I enjoyed it. I was a bit distracted while watching it, but it seems like they were still struggling on converting their opportunities (as they were last week). So was Stoke, but I have come to expect them to be mediocre because of everyone's reaction to my saying I was watching Stoke City vs Reading, I think it was.
Oh, and I thought Giroud was pretty, but that is par for the course, really.

Lol I was brainfarting on twitter, he's no use to anyone in the stands he may as well waste his talents on loan in sunny Blackburn getting kicked a lot
dc3:16 posted #basedmarwood for like a week or two then bam, Rodwell signed hahaha
I think (hope) it's sarcastic.
He'll be like Eden Hazard in the Championship.
You'll get about 500 penalties a game from his tricky feet.

Don't forget Bendtner! The greatest striker of them all.
Agree, the main problem for us is that our play over the years has been reliant on wingers and playing wide. That'll have to change now but it'll take time for the team to adapt.

Shinji Article on the Daily Mail
Give the man what he wants.
Too much safe passing to the wings, we should look to pass to him, similarly to how Chelsea always look to go through Hazard in the middle.

Shinji needs his best buddy
20M and it's a deal
I easily forget how language must be such a big problem for some of these players.
I want to see the hair-dryer
it kinda reminded me of del piero's goal out of a free kick against madrid in the champions league a couple of years ago. iirc, pellegrini was madrid's manager back then. casillas had set up the lousiest three-men wall ever, and all del piero had to do was to put his foot against the ball, haha.
Would Man Utd fans be this gentle?
3 of them are helpful and smiling and 3 of them are swearing/flipping him the bird.
Of course they wouldn't, but I think it works both ways.Would Man Utd fans be this gentle?

A real supporter would have quickly pooped in his hand and smeared his hand full of action in his face.
