That's because the turd that is David Moyes is balancing on Alex Ferguson's purple nose.
football is worthless if you aren't halfway to having a heart attack while watching it

Sagna's crossing is the best in the league of the rightbacks. Get a horse attacking them instead of the 3 donkeys you have lumbering about in training every day, and someone else entering the box at the right time, and you'll see.
City would also profit from a deal like this. Another experienced right back who could provide cover for Zaba. Richards is just too injury prone.
We've got a quality young right back in Maffeo. So an older right back would fit the bill.

I don't often agree with you but this time you're right.
No manager on the planet would be given this sort of latitude by any other big club.
It is only by the grace of Fergie and the fans' loyalty to Fergie that Moyes has been allowed to get away with this.

Maffeo won't make it at City.
Ah, fuck that then. Levels have become too expensive for me to waste them on Faith, just to get Dark sorcery I'll never use
I pumped up my faith to use Heal and never used it loool.
yeah, don't. Just focus on what you're good at.
I like Pep. Or at least the person he pretends to be
That's one way of putting it.
Beckenbaur said it best:

Ha, was about to mention it. rvy's soul is burning slow.
Wat? How is that? How can we be less dynamic when we actually run more and play at a way higher pace? I dont know what all you guys remember from last year, but apparently only the two games against Barca, where we played simple counter attacking with 2 defending lines pressing in midfield. Most games we did were vertical attacks through the wings and it worked but we were never in charge of the opposition in midfield and taking complete control. Its boring when only one side is playing but that isnt Bayerns or Peps fault. We score more goals, concede less, create more chances and decreasing chances for the opposition. I really dont get what the point is. Its exiting football with some of the most amazing goalscoring creations. What should Bayern do then? Play less dominating on purpose to entertain some minorities? Its up to the opposition to find a way against Bayern, not ours.
EDIT:
That bullshit Franz Beckenbauer statement is hilarious.
We score more goals from out of the box then under Jupp. He should better get his facts straight...
I guess we'll see how deep that loyalty runs. £100m deep?

Glad you enjoyed it bruv. It's quality. Looks stunning too.
Finished it the yesterday. Loved it.
Gameplay is tight. I really cannot wait for Phantom Pain.
Damn.
Wonder what it looks like with penalties included
@Penaldo and @Ibra(pen.) would rocket past Suarez. #FootballFacts
how quickly we forget how awful Arsenal's defending was just a season or two ago. Sagna is a good player. stability has been good for the club and the squad this season. the problem isn't Sagna's crossing, the problem is that he's always crossing to a single target in the middle, where he's shorter and outnumbered against the defenders. Giroud's not even a good aerial threat.
basically Giroud is shit and we shouldn't blame that on Sagna

Honestly, giving Moyes more than £50m to spend would be the most stupid thing I've ever seen a board of directors do in this sport. Even more stupid than keeping him in charge. And that's fucking stupid.
i wonder where this idea of "bayern being boring" is coming from. im sure u r just reading jupps comments since i remember plenty of people saying "i barely watch bayern except CL"
edit:
yurt pls. nobody quotes beckenbauer
aside from the first 20 minutes, the match against Hertha was pretty boring tbh. I could only count like 8-10 interesting matches from Bayern in the Bundesliga this season.
Last season every game was a pleasure to watch, even after we won the Bundesliga.
It is nice to see the team still winning and all, I'm happy but I can't ignore the fact that we are not half as fun as we were last season.
Y u say dis? You're always saying our kids won't make it. Give them a chance, the engineer will in due course!

I don't know if there are any Moyes loyalists here. I wouldn't want him to make the big spend in the Summer, if I were a Yernited fan.
Even worse, I actually enjoy watching Everton football now with Martinez's system going well.

Because you haven't bought a homegrown youngster through since what, Johnson 7 years ago?
It's put us off the idea. But the post traumatic treatment is working and Lopes is the future.

Nice.
The importance of fucking water to Netherlands.
are they serious lol
that is so deep
He's really young -- I have to admit I'd never even heard of him until these posts and I try and follow the youth team. Whether or not he does remains to be seen, but he won't sniff the first team for another 3-4 years at an absolute minimum (he's 16 and joined us this summer from Espanyol).
I'd be happy to get Sagna as a deputy for Zaba. He could really use a break. Club icon or not, sell Richards this summer while we can.

Just no signage, whatsoever. And architecture hastily copied from a fucking U boat.
You mean games like a 4-3 against Gladbach or 3-2 versus Stuttgart or 1-0 against Bremen or 1-1 against Nürnberg or the glorious 0-2 against Arsenal and 1-2 against Leverkusen or 1-3 agains Borisov and the both draws with Dortmund or the boring matches in Frankfurt were we scored one goal?
We struggled more than this season and the games were more thrilling not because Bayern played from out of this world, but because we scored either very early or very late and all attacks were performed quicker through the wings. We played without a CAM, beacuse we lacked that option completely. Breakthroughs and play through the middle were nonexisting. Your memories appear to be only based on Juve and Barca.
Sure, but we have like 80 games a season, with many injuries, suspensions and fatigue. We cant win every game with 6-0 and hattricks from Dante or Rafinha. Its about success and effiency and from a tactical point of view, Bayerns current matches are orgasmic.
Haha, I always think he is some NPC from Ryse.
I was only talking about the Bundesliga. Our performances in the CL this season are laughable considering the amount of talent we have in our squad, don't see us winning it if we continue to play like that

Again, our perfromances last year until the quarter final were even worse. 2 defeats in a worse group and a worse Arsenal compared to this years. We really shined against Juve and Barca. Dortmund was a mix of luck and fate but wasnt our best game. Its amazing what memories are in peoples minds with 2 great legs played in CL. This years team is equally determined to win the CL as last years.
Was looking through the posts from the summer about Ferna's signing. Would love to quote a whole bunch and serve some crow and pat myself on the back but I'm happy just knowing how great of a signing it turned out to be. He won't end up in the Team of the Season because there are some more glamorous midfielders to choose from, but he really deserves to be. Yaya is definitely there and could see Silva being considered.
One thing I was reminded of when looking at old posts.. where the heck has Manager been? Over 2.5 months since he last posted on GAF. Hope you're okay, buddy!

Did you think Jovetic would be a good signing?
Eh, talking about glamour being taken into account - whenever Ferna pulls some Charlie Adam type ankle-tap body check shit, it gets praised as "breaking up play".

Despite being injured since Christmas, Aaron Ramsey has still completed the most tackles (56) in Arsenal's squad.

Oh. My. God.
We're so fucking dumb.
Definitely especially since a good part of his transfer fee was based on incentives. I still think he will be or can be a good signing in the long term despite this year being a throw-away due to the fitness issues. We'll probably have a better idea about his future with the club by January 2015.
Sometimes you gotta be an enforcer. Better to do that than come in from behind or throw elbows.
we are shit.
