Ancelotti?

For EPL followers, if Liverpool finished sixth next season, within say 8 points of 4th, would you consider that reasonable progress?
Also, is there anything cuter than waking up to find your cat curled up a foot away from your face, with their head upside down?

Believe the rumours that he's going to Real, and I expect him to stay there for a few years at least. I also don't think he's the successor the United board crave. I don't think United want to be in the position whereby they're hiring a new manager every three or four years, they want a long term replacement, someone who's proven they can stay dedicated to a job for an extended period of time.
Moyes has been at Everton for 10 years now.
He's also very settled in the North West. Went from Preston to Everton, and United's another short leap (geographically).

Is there anyone available who doesn't spend long at his clubs, but has taken a step up each time? I think they'd be fine with someone like that, since you can't really go higher than Man Utd, unfortunately.

Some people just like to move around.
Ancelotti's on the verge of leaving PSG after a year. I know Real's a promotion of sorts but it's not like he didn't know what PSG were when he took the job. He's hardly thrown himself into the job, and in fact it's like he's seen it as 'just a job'. If that's his attitude then I don't think it tallies with what United want next.
Hypothetically, say Moyes was in his first year at a club like PSG, I don't think he'd jump if Real came calling. Again there are certain principles I think United want.
I'd say it might be seen as progress, but it would be a fair bit underwhelming. There's still a chance that could be where we end up this season.
I think we really should be looking to finish 5th at a minimum next season, and put up a real fight for 4th.
I never even considered Moyes, to be honest.
I'm going to fucking die laughing when one or both of your twin horcruxes of footballing prophecy

I don't think United want nor need an exceptional character or face after Ferguson; he's built a legacy that they can live off for a decade beyond his passing (job, not death). Look at Liverpool after Shankly, promoted Paisley from within and the club continued to flourish on the stable foundations left behind, and exceptional if understated coaching from Paisley.
I don't think United can quite promote Phelan and be done with it, fans won't be satiated by that in today's football climate. I do think they can hire Moyes to have a similar sort of effect, without having 659 million people shout at them for not hiring Mourinho.
The amount I've discussed this I really should've written a book. But fuck putting my name on something United-related. I'll look like an utter cunt when they hire Pellegrini, too.
Can't picture you reading Harry Potter.
Did you buy the adult edition with the moody artwork?

I think its too early for that though. We could well sell Suarez, keep half the money in the bank and tell Rodgers that we have to make do with Borini and Yesil picking up the slack
Spurs could strengthen, Arsenal and Chelsea will definitely strengthen (assuming they replace Lampard sufficiently)
Everton may well end the summer stronger than they started it as well. We're playing catchup as it is, we need a few things to go our way.
-Good summer business (keep Suarez, backup DM/RB/LB/GK/CB/CF/R&LW, starting centre-back, starting winger)
-Friendly fixture list, especially the first 5 games (momentum means so much)
-Clubs around us not breaking the bank, or failing to reinvest effectively
-Clubs around us starting poorly
Any of those go wrong, and we may well be out of it by November again
Oh aye. Keeping Everton treading water is a fucking sparkling résumé to succeed the manager of the modern footballing era.
Fuck no.

As I said, assuming we keep Suarez, we need about 7 signings to complete the squad, but only really need 2 to go straight into the first team;
First team signings: CB and LW
Squad signings: GK, CB (or RB depending what we do with Wisdom), LB, DM and ST.
We can realistically do 4 of them this summer I would say, so if we looked to get in the two first team signings, along with maybe a LB and ST as backup this summer, we could look a hell of a lot stronger next year.
It all comes down to the quality of the signings. If we get them in before pre-season and they hit the ground running, I give us every chance, especially if one of the other top 5 or 6 teams has a bad summer.

Why bother? Just watch it at you own leisure over the weekend. 'GAF and most streaming sites will be falling apart during E3 anyway.
Why turn it down. It's a bloody good competition. It's the setup that's all wrong.

June 11th is a Tuesday.
Allegedly because it collided with our preseason tour to Australia, Thailand and Indonesia.
League challenge, innit.
I hope Carragher's days of saying that there's no reason, no reason at all, why Liverpool can't win the lot aren't over.

No, it's on a Tuesday.
Barney Ronay has produced his greatest work yet, and is entirely correct:
Only surprise about Mourinho's return is people think it's a good idea

Lambda but he´s clinically insane.
He's already betrayed god and and his family, now he'll betray his club. #Traitor. Dzeko isn't going to Napoli though, he's Dortmund bound.

I've watched S2. It's all good.
what is the point
the reason its such a good book is because things come to a head from the first two
the youth of today has no fucking patience. GOSH DARN IT.
series 2 was pretty bad compared to the book

Book and show don't compare. Lots missed and lots that you need to absorb before SOS can have it's true effect. Stop being a flump and just take the time to read them.

In Sleeping Dogs, can some of the buildings containing Jade Statues only be accessed after certain story missions?
Viva you cunt
Viva you cunt
Yeah. I spent 20 minutes trying to find a way into a building because I could see a statue through a window.
Then the very next story mission had me going into it.
Yeah. There are 2 inside buildings that can only be accessed during certain story missions.
