Remember when Liverpool fans were saying they got City's best CB?

Good times.

meier pls, pretty sure someone mentioned 2nd best CB... at least 2nd best when it comes to giving the ball away for goal/scoring the best OG

Good times.

He was very, very good in those first 3 games while City's defenders were not playing too well iirc. It was obviously never going to last though, free transfers are free for a reason.

Got a feelijg Dnipro will bend us over a barrel in the summer. Firstly, the price should be significantly cheaper with just a year left on his contract. Secondly, we'll reward them for apparently cunting it up on the last day of the window.

 

[pulga]

Spend it all on midfield.

Hell spend it all on a new team, from top to janitor

 

[pulga]

I somehow have to agree with this. Everything is build around CR7 and all the great talent that came is gone now. Robben had to leave because of CR7, Sneijder left because of Kaka. Kaka never made it because he was injured and the Madrid medical stuff is utter crap. Özil gone to Arsenal, Higuain sold to Napoli, Modric is wasted, Isco suffers from Ancelottis strange system etc.

Money.

See this is the exact same ignorance I was talking to farid about yesterday. "Modric is wasted" for example. Where to even begin? Modric is probably second only to Ronaldo as our most influential player this season.

Of all the bad posts these days, this is surely up there with in the top 3. Not as good as Vidal's non spectacular goalscoring record though.

I have nothing personal against him. Seems nice enough.

But he's not qualified for the job.

I mean I'm a nice person and I'm an ok lawyer (promise) but that doesn't mean I could hack being commercial counsel for a billionaire hedge-fund all of a sudden.

He doesn't know what he's doing. He's faking it. It's scarily obvious to me too.

He's certainly no Hodgson in that regard. He was arrogant, disrespectful and viewed the whole thing as just a stepping stone to the England job. Which he still managed to get despite being shit.

Not to mention you had the media constantly reminded everyone what a nice man he was, how Liverpool were lucky to have him, etc. You definitely don't see people holding back on Moyes performance.

If we were sensible, we'd offer £7 million on 1st July and say take it or leave it. I reckon Kono will push for the move at that point.

I'm trying to explain to a.friend the drama of the U.S. Championship handegg game last night and I'm looking for a similar Football game as an example. First one that comes to mind is the Bayern vs Chelsea UCL final -- Bayern, attacking team, reputation as chokers, favourable stadium vs Chelsea, defensive, lost previous trip to finals -- but that was a close game (well Bayern was the better team...). An equivalent surprise blowout would be the Barca Dream Team losing to Milan in 94. Any other suggestions?

I dunno, I think up until now a lot of people have been fairly reserved on him despite bad results. It's starting to turn now though.

But I'll be seeing Stewart Lee so either way I win.

Nottingham Forest

Two.

United with three.

Ajax four.

This will never be the measure of how big your club is.

Look, the guy I left your money with quoted a very reasonable return on investment on the Syrian currency market. I'm sure it'll be fine.

I can't recall any football final where the underdogs absolutely battered the favourites*, come to think of it. There must be a couple from other leagues in recent history


*Were the Seahawks even underdogs really?

I have not read the thread in days! Rust is soooooo goood!

That West Ham game was the worst game I have ever seen live. £160 to see Ramires shank every fucking cross and then West Ham to have everyone behind the ball but Carrol and just boot it to his head!

To make things worse Diame nearly took my skull off!

I am going to see the Newcastle game at the weekend with Steverulez so everyone punt on 0-0! Cunts.

Second one by far. The amount of flak I got for calling Young a cunt simply because he's a United player was absurd.

The Maracanazo is, undoubtedly, the one you're looking for.

The shocking defeat provoked numerous reactions after the match that demonstrated the magnitude of the devastation. For instance, after the final whistle, a distressed fan committed suicide, and three others died from heart attacks. FIFA presented the Jules Rimet Trophy to Uruguay without an award ceremony,as nobody had thought to prepare a congratulatory speech for Uruguay. Outside the stadium, a group of Brazilian fans knocked over a bust of Angelo Mendes de Moraes, the mayor of Rio who was reviled due to his premature congratulations. According to rumors, Flavio Costa, the coach of the Brazilian team, discretely exited the stadium disguised as a nanny. The defeat also influenced the Brazilian team itself, which did not participate in matches for two years or play in the Maracanã for four years following the World Cup. Finally, the most visible consequence of the defeat was the fact that the national team adopted yellow and green shirts instead of the white shirts that it had worn during the match.

Real Madrid is where talented players go to die

That makes no sense at all. Try it again.

Yeah, the game was terrible. Let's see if Mou breaks out the 19th century tactics today. If we sit back and are well organized, we could expose City on the counter. It will be tough though.

Isco would be starting more if he stepped his defensive game up. Di Maria is who's currently keeping him out of the midfield three.

Moyes out chants are ereily similar to the Fergie out chants early in his reign. & Fergie had already won cups on the European stage before United.

Man Utd board accounted for a third place finish this season. Looks like that isn't happening. I don't see that being allowed to happen two years in a row. So I'm good with being patient with Moyes. & I was one of those who didn't want him in the first place because he'd never won anything.

Let him fill the couple of positions that he says we need filling; a central defender; a left back; and the big one: a world class central midfielder.

If liverpool lose next weekend and we win, we'd be only 4 points behind. How we are where we are considering how many games we've lost is real damn lucky. Ironic that.
