I've had the strangest dream. I was in a meeting with Don Draper and the rest of the Mad Men cast. We were trying very hard to come up with an ad for United's new striker. The punchline was going to be "Who needs Rumbo when you have ... ?" Jumbo? Dumbo? Mumbo? Nobody was able to come up with a clever word. At some point an intern came into the room, bringing coffee and biscuits. It was Arnie. Peggy said "thank you, darling" to him. He smiled politely, but it was a fake smile. You could see he resented her. So odd and random.
I don't think so. Not everybody is a treacherous son of a crack whore like Zambrotta.
I did too, yesterday. What did you think of it?

SNES looks great.
Reina won't be around forever, and he's become more and more inconsistent over the last few seasons. Why wouldn't McCarthy want an opportunity to learn from an excellent goalkeeper, with a view to staking a claim to a regular first-team place in two years' time? It's not unheard of for promising young goalkeepers to join clubs as backups anyway - we signed Carson at the same time as Reina, Kirkland at the same time as Dudek, etc.
Both people are to blame, but Casillas should have to fight for his position. Lopez should not lose this spot because casillas said so.

It's quite rare that the "understudy" steps up to become the #1 at most of the top clubs.
2 years of sitting on the bench, playing reserve football...odd appearances here and there - really stunts the development of a young player. If he was signed and then sent out on loan that would be much better for him.
I like the look of Mega Drive. Looked badass when I was a kid.
Oh I know it happens, but there comes a time - like with Courtois and Cech now, Lopez and Casillas - where both can legitimately stake a claim to being number one and the player that isn't won't be happy. It would be a shame to see McCarthy sit on the bench if he can get game time somewhere else, despite it being a good point that he'd learn from Reina.

Why did I click that thread in OT called "So you just died."
I hate thinking about death
The other night I woke up in the middle of the night and my first thought was "one day I'm going to die"
It was fucking weird.
This dude had an absolutely incredible game against us the other day. Hart made a few nice saves of his own but wow! I was impressed. The CityTV announcers mentioned he apparently had a huge game against Liverpool recently as well (I believe it was 'Pool). Definitely one to watch..
That's an understatement. There were moments where Sturridge and Suarez just stared at each other with their hands on their heads wondering how the ball wasn't going in. Not only was he stopping every shot, but he was holding onto them as well. He's definitely one to watch.
Yeah, this notion that Casillas should just walk back in the team is really irritating me. I used to really like Casillas but this has soured my opinion of him.
I used to be terrified of death, couldn't go to sleep without crying when I was like 5/6 for fear I wouldn't wake up.
He was incredible against Liverpool. Try and watch the highlights if you can, it was just save after save after save.

David Beckham is retiring... :O
Happy birthday, Messi. Come back to IRC.
Gotta go to work. later maybe.
I believe it. I think they mentioned some described it as one of the best keeping performances they'd ever seen. He had quite the highlight reel against us so I'll have to search out the clips from that LFC game.
Turns out he is the first ever Reading academy player to be called up to the England team. Wow, what a stat! Well deserved though clearly.

Alex McCarthy started the season very well too but sadly picked up that nasty injury.
Beckham retiring apparently. Get him to United right now, ambassador or whatever he'll sell shit.

Star Trek 2009 was pretty damn good. Too many jokes though, never got why they do that.

ALL I SEE IS $$$ SIGNS.
Beckham retiring doesn't have the same impact Scholes and Fergie do... maybe it's because he's been hopping round Europe like a student high on ket for a while now, not to mention USA.
Still, league titles in five different countries, got to give him props for that. Great man, underrated player, love u Becks

There isn't much to suspect at this point.
Carbonara or whatever her name is keeps dropping dressing room bombs. Only one person who's feeding the info to her.

My dad was kind of shit with this. He let me buy Resident Evil when I was still in single digit age. It scared the shit out of me but I was really into horror movies and such through my childhood, so I got to appreciate it with time.
Also the blockbusters didn't give a shit about age ratings I remember. Rented Silent Hill from there and the cashier guy said "you do know this is really scare... Right?" and before I had even replied another guy working there said "of course that is why he's renting it!" and I got my game lol
Seriously never got past the first death scene thing in Silent Hill as I just quit there the first time I played it then, it was too much for me. Now I wish some game could replicate the feeling.
I think it's a mixture of things; Casillas being Spain captain and so close to the Barca lads means they'll be wanting to talk out about it when they can, not to mention the fact he's revered by fans and so players like Pepe can win brownie points by taking his side. Then there's the fact Iker is literally bumming one of Spain's most identifiable sports reporters, so I can only imagine a lot of his angst goes out through her. The Spanish media are almost as fucking awful as ours, if not more so.
I think so. Far more was made of his set piece delivery and celebrity than the fact he was a supremely intelligent footballer on the pitch.

Beckham was really good when he was with United. I think his popularity caused people to believe he was overrated. I think he's overrated by casuals and underrated by serious fans.

Let's celebrate Lampard's new deal by honouring his best goal.
Wait is this official? I'm happy enough with it if he accepts the bench more and more.

What's this I'm hearing about Beckham retiring?

Hmm, I feel like maybe Beckham was under-rated when he was at his best and over-rated when past it.
I will love him forever and a day for what he did for us in 1999 though. That season by him is up there with one of the very best in United's recent history. The team was amazing but he was the star.

I don't see him having the career he's had without the celebrity. Dunno, never rated him outside of his United days. He was absolutely brilliant there, but so was Eriberto/Luciano in Del Neri's Chievo.
This.

Yeah, this. Far too much made of his sojourns with Milan, Galaxy and PSG but at his best with us and Madrid he was great. Any other player and I'd have no hesitation in picking him for a favourite United team but unfortunately Ronaldo's there :lol
A bit young to fully remember in the moment, but watching the Treble DVDs he was amazing. Genuinely stood out in arguably one of the best midfields ever. Cole and Yorke must have fucking loved playing ahead of him.
Happy enough with it.
Demandred was pretty good. Likewise Mat. Found it hard to give much of a damn, in a dramatic sense, about Rand's gigantically abstracted battle of moral wills with Shai Tan. Brah just ranting in capital letters, innit. Perrin versus Slayer was probably less awesome than in the previous book. More protracted, more vague.
Perrin breaking Lanfear's neck was boss.
And Lan died appropriately. That was the important thing, really.

Will people finally shut the fuck up about Beckham? Doubt it, but here's hoping.
Other than Scholes, who barely counts because how actually underrated he was for England, Beckham is the only world class player England have had since Paul Gascoigne.
