Crystal Pulis won't pick Messi Ince because he can't chuck it 50 yards :p

Hasn't settled tbh, but he's still far better than fucking Zaha

Pulis seems much more chilled at Palace. At Stoke it was like he was trying to create a 'us against the world' mentality which soured people on him, combined with their...um...'rural' tactics.

Random story. I was thinking about yesterdays Choreo. And I remembered that I actually participated at one. Many, many, many years ago.

Checked the internet and found it then:

Even though it was a random Bundesliga game they organized that Choreo because some FIFA delegation was in Munich because they did some talk for the upcoming World Cup Host draw. I think that was around 1999 or 2000. Not quite sure anymore.

Good old Olympiastadion. Terrible atmosphere though :D The fans were too far away from the pitch.

demonite is a confirmed Sony employee I think. Not in a 'works at a Sony support centre' way, in an actual game development way. If it doesn't exist, he's being a bit of a knob.

Wouldn't be the first time an "insider" made shit up.

Although he seems more legit than others and isn't just "a guy who knows a guy who maybe knows a guy".

As much as I love the stadium, looking at it now has some serious Serie A levels of stadiums.

We dont know. Demonite only teased things that were legit. Not as big ones as some other "insiders" but recently he confiremd Morpheus and Demons Souls 2 but they were pretty worse kept secrets to begin with. Oh, and I guess he was the guy that leaked the info about Sony Santa Monicas new IP cancelling too.

I don't like any stadiums with flat stands like that, steep stands just look much, much better. And running tracks are shit as well. Not a fan of the Maracena for the flat stands reason.

Moyes' constant assertions that United can attract the top players is doing him no favours.

He should just shut up about it.

And that thread in OT about supporting mid level football clubs throws up a question about the American psyche.

If sport over there is essentially rooted in socialism and seems sacrosanct then why the fuck is there so much fear about socialism in a wider context?

FootyGAF we need your assistance

we must resolve this sexual tension between Pulg and FF. This ain't an environment to raise a (football) family. We'd hate to lose one of you over this.


First, Pulg must admit that Messi is the GOAT.

and then FF must admit that Neymar is as effective as a goat on the pitch.


Okay who do we have next? Oh right!

the eternal battle between Hixx and Zabo....


WRONG you fake ManU-bro!

ill do no such thing. Penalessi is dead. Ronaldo is well on his way to his third ball on door

Yeah someone should let him know we are not in the CL next season.

One season out of the Champions League won't hurt United too much when it comes to attracting players. There's still a lot of money in the club and can live off recent successes if needs be.

But go a second season without CL and we'll be in trouble.

Bayern bought Luca Toni and Franck Ribery 2007 after missing the CL. We survived it. You will too. Invest wisely, get the national title and be back the season after.

And if you're lucky you might even get the 4th spot this year. Who knows. Weird things happen,

If he wins nothing again I don't think they'll be nice enough to give it to him, especially given how incredible e.g. Suarez is playing.

isnt that argument null if Suarez doesnt win anything either?

Ronaldo is about to break the CL record for goals scored in a single campaign (which he might not get to do because of that fucking injury), plus top scorer in La Liga. He's having an amazing season, and you can't seriously tell me Suarez is a better player than him.

He's slowed down since the New Year I think. We'd have to win the title, and he'd need to retain a 1-in-1 scoring record throughout 2014 to have a chance. Plus the World Cup fucks it all up as people put way too much stock in how the players perform there. Suarez could score 4 and get knocked out in the group stage, while Messi could score once in the final, and Messi would be remembered as having had the better rournament from an individual performance standpoint.

Oh Dave you try so hard :(

So glad the WC is on this summer to take my mind off United failing to sign Cesc again and again.....

No, please, just take him. Like, seriously, take him the fuck away from Barça. You know what? You can take Cesc and we'll give you Alves for free.

Very true. It's gonna come down to the WC so let's not even have this argument, it's pointless.

Chasing Fabregas for so long when Xavi was still going strong was incredibly stupid in hindsight. He has to play a fair amount because of the effort you went to and money you spent to get him back, but there's really no room for him to play to his potential in your team. He's a world class centre midfielder in a non-tiki-taka team. Ego-stroking buy.

I know what you are saying, we are gonna be offering some insane wages Vidic, Evra etc buggering off makes that more affordable.

Plus players like RVP, Rooney and Mata help they are players you want to play with.

Also yes I'll take a free Cesc and loan Alves to QPR.
