When we bought Mata I truly hoped that meant we were selling Rooney. Would've been such a ballsy and smart move.
Like we've just been saying on twitter though, while RVP and Rooney are both around we aren't going to see the team play like we did today I think. Rooney is too egotistical and hard to curb tactically to do what Shinji and Mata did today. It's a shame because he can do it, but he's regressed since the Ronaldo days.
Really? that's great. I saw a short report about Nelson Haedo Valdéz, in his youth football years he had to sleep in the small stadium of the club, under the wood stands
It's incredible how some people can take everything and reach their dream

I wanted some food once and my parents were out. I was about eleven so I crawled through my tiny bathroom window, the top one. Squeezed my fat head through, fell into the bath.
Got a tomato.
How could you not laugh at his shitty freekick.
The expression at the end was the icing on it.
Sheepishly knocked the door down.
My fucking motorcycle keys too. So fucked. Going to ring everywhere i was tonight tomorrow. Thats a lot of fucking places.

Bebe could be progressing even faster if he wasn't stuck in such a shit team.
Replacing Rooney (with a finisher that has pace to burn) would make the team Viva mentioned deadly. Those three can already play in tight spaces but having a player that can get in behind so quickly would add a whole new dimension.
Chicha seemed to work fine with those 3
Is he doing la chiripiorca? loooool

I think it's pointless to add to the attack next season. Januzaj will improve next season, and United will still have Mata, Shinji, and Rooney. Our attack isn't old aside from RVP.
Like you said, 2 cms, a cb, and a lb are must buys.

I agree KidA but I think Laboured might be right.
Just feel like it's always good to add options to the attack and whilst I'm happy with Mata, Shinji and Adnan as AM's - it's only 3 and Adnan is still learning. Valencia and Young are at a point where I don't even know if they're serviceable.
I suppose Rooney counts too.
But yeah, the others are priorities for sure.
NBCSports has every PL game, they tend to air the bigger games on TV and depending on you're cable provider any game not on TV is available for stream on their website.
I'm not from USA, but I think NBC is broadcasting the Premier League in USA.
Liverpool is where is at
edit: woah Portland 4:4 Seattle Sounders

support West Ham.
I'm not in a great frame of mind mate,
I've spent 140 quid since 12pm. Started loosing it after shot sticks in revs about 8ish.
Was a pretty good game to watch, early goals and late ones.
Portlands second goal was fucking ridiculous. No idea how the guy scored it.
I think NBC do the PL coverage in the US. They've got every single game I believe.
What you want to do is find a source for Championship games. That shit is going to be hot next season.
We will be back on our patch.

Them fucking sticks are killers. Oxegen in Brighton had them, and then you pop out of there down to revs and they've got more and it's all the girls with the nice tits offering them
And by the time you wanna go to one of the clubs on the beach you just wanna go in the sea

I actually think he has Alzheimer's. Maybe that's why he keeps forgetting who Kagawa is?
Midfield is obv the first area that needs sorting. Someone that can win the ball is an imperative. I don't mean in the Carrick sense of intercepting either. I'm not knocking his contribution to the team either. But we need someone who is capable of winning the ball back through a tackle or pressure rather than waiting for a stray pass. The former is more expedient than the latter. And that's what we need the most. Winning the ball back quickly and starting a counter. Our play for most of the season has been far too slow. A creative midfielder is needed too, but I think we could get away with not signing one for one more year, so long as we got the quality DM in first.
We need at least one decent cb. Maybe two because there are still doubts over the abilities of Jones, Evans and Smalling to stay injury free. Shaw would be the ideal replacement for Evra, but don't know if we can get it done.

Do you want to support a club glorifies and idiolize a racist cheater like Suarez and also got the most annoying fans possible? Go with Liverpool.
Do you want to support a club where it's very easy to get tickets to cause they got no real supporters, despite them being a decent football side, that however flops in European football? Then support City.
Do you want to support a club in decline, fading into irrelevancy? Support United.
Do you want a club that never actually wins anything, but are always entertaining although mostly for their failures, but got cool supporters like Piers Morgan and Osama Bin Laden? Support Arsenal.
Do you like to eat shit? Support Spurs.
Do you like Messi and basically just want to watch an English version of him every week? Support Sunderland.
Do you want to support a little horse, competing with the big horses, with a lionheart captain and a manager that returned, from luxuary in Madrid, to the club where his heart was at? Then support Chelsea.
Do you just want to not see your team win anything? Pick any of the rest.
Loooooooooooool
All about Bournemouth when it comes to beach life nights out.
Remember stumbling out of a club last year at 4am walking to the beach and singing some Foreigner while some guy played guitar. Was pretty great.

If you didn't buy class As I'll be somewhat disappointed.
why is football so big in Seattle and Portland anyway?
The ridiculous Portland goal:

Wooden, any complaints on the defense or keeping on this?
EDIT:
Was a rivalry back in the 80's and for the most part most of the pro teams in that area are awful and the MLS teams in the area are relevant.

Crazy game, especially with Dempsey pulling the hat trick. Can't wait for Portland to travel up here in July. But i'll have to check it out and catch some matches. Is there any way of getting it without a cable provider? I never really had the need for cable so I decided against it.

Only thing I will complain about is both teams wearing green, and football being played on a grass and all makes it even worse. Do you not have away kits in that third world country over there?
Did a line of coke in Varsity toilets.

Ok, some of that is pretty impressive.
Been watching Reus, Fabregas and Balo battle it out over pens/volleys and stuff. Sometimes you wonder how these guys are professionals, Fabregas surprised me with how poor he is. Mario doesn't give a shit though and still outclasses both of them, the problem is he doesn't give a shit which matters more in games.
Used to go to revs on leadenhall a lot, those bubblegum vodka shots really finished the nights off. Time goes quick in there.
Hope you find your keys!

The Right Adnan:
The left Adnan:
Well, he doesn't do that as often on the left hand side.

Ask a buddy with Xfinty/Comcast or one of the providers that allows the NBC Live Extra streaming and get his login.
Lol yeah, thats the Home kit for Portland and I think the 3rd kit for Seattle. I dunno, that neon green they must have assumed was enough to get the job done.

Think we should try to loan him next year - but it will be hard to get a good loan for a player who hasn't done much yet.
Really hope he can make it. He has the basics, pace, power and can finish. Just worry he doesn't have enough beyond that to his game. One of the best academy players though, comparable to Adnan and Morrison at that level IMO.
KidA will know best he's watched him most.
