I'm so fucking stoked for Juve - Fiorentina tomorrow. I think it's mostly because CL is right behind the corner, but still. It's just too bad Momo Sissoko isn't ready to play yet. I have no idea how he could possibly fit into Motenella's style of possession-based football, though.
Bla, how much could Bayern be asking for him, if they were to get rid of him in the summer?

I can't help but find him hot but in the same time where is something I can't define about him that I find repulsive.
I just read an article about Neuer. It's crazy that he really joined us. I'm sure he was one of those guys who always cursed about the FC Bayern in the youth. And now he is our #1 keeper. Not bad.
Amazing what money can do.
Fuck yeah, Dinosaur Jr are amazing live. They crank it up way past 11
Garrus is one my favourite characters of this generation. It's such a shame that we probably won't see him again. At least that's what I believe as I doubt they will revisit these characters from the next Mass Effect onwards.
Yeah, I heard they play pretty loud. My body is ready.
I have a sneaky feeling Robben will leave.
We'll take him off your sauerkraut stained hands, if the price is right.

Mass Effect
I have a sneaky feeling Robben will leave.
I hope so! This years success is definitely not his work.
His crossing as well, in open play. Very consistent and always seemed to put it in the right areas for strikers. Who needs to beat their man when you can plop it in the six yard box for your strikers to tap in, time after time after time?

Becks wouldn't make my XI, maybe not even the bench, but his efforts in 99 mean he is a United legend forever and a day. Truly incredible that season.
I think he is under-rated by the general football fan nowadays, partly because he's half celebrity I suppose.
But technically he has always been a wonderful player. Best crosser of the ball I've ever seen, easily.

I think he's overrated for that very reason.
He definitely wouldn't get near my premier league XI.

I'll have a go at an XI, will be touch.
Cech
Neville Ferdinand Terry Cole
Ronaldo Scholes Gerrard Vieira Giggs
Henry
Subs - Schmikes, Adams, Keane, Bergkamp, Shearer
Something like that I think. I can't remember enough of Schmeichel to be sure so I went with Cech.

They were wonderful players, especially Pires, but I think they're a level below most of the names in many of these teams. IMO anyways. Overmars was better than either.

Making an XI is like making a Game of The Generation. There's never a winner.

WTF@
not being loyal from the start
Garrus
Schmeichel
Neville - Adams - Ferdinand - Cole
Ronaldo - Keane - Scholes - Giggs
Henry - Bergkamp
Seaman, Desailly, Vieira, Shearer, Zola
off the top of my head. Might try and fit VDS/Cech/Gerrard/Lampard/Ruud in there somewhere given more choice. Lots of fucking great players.
ME2 logic.

Both had distinct advantages over one another. Close enough to come down to bias from either side I think

Gerrard is comfortably a better player IMO.
Keane however had an aura which IMO, of course I am biased, makes even Gerrard's incredible influence look timid. He contributed to turning United into England's top team outside of the 90 mins as much as he did during matches.
Gerrard is a better football player though, personally I don't think it's very close when it comes to ability on the pitch.
Pires was fantastic, yeah. Wouldn't have had Ljungberg but Pires is certainly one of the very top players.
As is Makelele, who I forgot about as well. Given 16 spaces though its hard to pick that shit.
Fuck u sal
Only Fry would put Schweinsteiger above Xavi
lol lol lol
Fuck Schmeichel, this man deserves more recognition:
Tottenham legend.

Lightning's PL XI
Sczezsny
Lauren - Koscielny - Campbell - Gibbs
Eboue - Fabregas - Cazorla - Wiltord
Henry - Chamakh
That's what we get for voting against them.
Apparently we are wanting to sign Connor Wickham on loan. It was rumoured but Mandaric has confirmed we're looking into it to one of our local journo's, which is significant as both Milan and Jones are normally very secretive with regards to our transfer activity. Usually say nothing until the ink's dry.
Hixx? Any thoughts? I know he was rated highly by Ipswich but I've seen nothing of him since he went to Sunderland.

I know it's inflated executive talk but
Not sure if that means historic in terms of making history or just having the same amount as previously.

They meant the same amount as previously.
Which isn't good.
Just read his latest blog post, very interesting as always. All United fans should check it out.

Well boo then.
He'd have a tourette's fit deciding between Cesc and RVP as captain.
Not really. :lol
Career wise, yes, Xavi. Currently? Past two years? I say Schweine was better.
I know he was an aggressive cunt, doesn't that count?!
One of them recently won an european cup, the other one didn't.

It was very much a throwaway comment. One of many on the roadshow.
Our "historical" transfer spend is £20m/£25m. I think we will stick closer to the £40m we spent in the 2 previous summers. Which I personally think is enough, even though it could and should be alot more.
In his article he mentioned that the club has earmarked 40 different sectors in which it wants to seek sponsorship deals and currently we are on 13. Madness.
The next year or two will be interesting. The club is safe now. Debts have fallen £400m over the last 2 years. Will be alot of disposable income in the hands of the Glazers from now on.
