This is one of the worst 30 min of football I've seen in my life. Benfica are too relaxed and AZ are just shit.

Neither was Ozil and he was there for several years. At least Rakitic will have dat chemistry with Modric.

Porto goal, by Mangala i think.
we are pretty much at morning training pace. not like we need more for AZ.

Mangala can't stop scoring. TXIKI PLS
I think he might be to be honest, but they have too many midfielders as is.

Txiki will deliver. He came across really well in the documentary the other night.
Has United overtaking Chelsea in the wage table (for the first time in 10 years) been posted?
1. City: £233m.
2. United: £182m.
3. Chelsea: £176m.
Was an 11.6% increase for United yoy. This is for the 2012/13 season, mind.

There's a guy called Lacazette playing for Lyon? What's next? Laceedee? Elbluray?

Just imagine what would happen if the Glazers weren't so cheap.
They had subtitles for all of his speaking on the broadcast here in the US a few weeks back. It kind of annoyed me because I thought his English was very good.
He's really talented -- expect him to move to a big foreign club (or maybe a PSG or Monaco) this summer or next IMO.
Hitch, pls. You're not worried about finishing in the top, right? You do know that 1st is Top 4, right?That's what I was hoping for

Amorim's injury looks serious.
You want him for the name alone, right? Zorc pls.
dat rvp. Should gain a few for this season as well with Rooney, Mata and Fellaini.
Evra/Vidic/Rio will save us 300k though #skeen
This Juve game is utter bore.

and their squad is utter shit on top of it all. Fantastic. I guess a lot of the big earners will be gone in the summer though.

3rd Kit's still loading for me.
GK Away will look nice on Mig at the Bernabeu.

Home kit looks decent. Away kit looks like something Shell would make and force their workers to wear. Rest are just a bit meh.
Good job he's coming to us next year to continue that trend.

that's as easy as Barca smuggling a minor.

His name is "The cassette".
It's a ridiculous name, also makes too much sense for us. We need more complicated names.

Nah. Could bite me in the arse, but we have to fuck it up from here to finish below 3rd. Anything's possible, but even if we were to balls up the title challenge, Arsenal/Everton would need to capitalise on our slip-ups to make the top 3 uncomfortable.
If we beat West Ham, that should be top 4 pretty much done, with one of Arsenal and Everton losing points on Sunday. All told, we're in a great position.
Top of the league
Home games to come against 2 main competitors
Exceptional run of form
Team seems fit and sharp
Not a terrible fixture list remaining
Reasonably high points gap between ourselves and 4th/5th
I fully expect we'll slip up somewhere to put ourselves on the back foot in the title challenge, but I'd be surprised if we fucked up enough to drop out of the top 3, and even more unpleasantly surprised if we fucked up so badly we finished 5th.
It'd be a league bottle-job to rival Man Utd at the tail-end of 11/12
Still, West Ham next, can't get too ahead of ourselves
Thoughts?
Not a fan of the piss yellow but these are better at least.
Neuer
Lahm - Martinez - Mancini - Alaba
Kroos - Schweini
Robben Götze Ribery
Lewandowski
its not passion anymore, its big, its working, its gonna change the genre of football. lets all be real. thats organic. lets stop play football, lets go for perfection. im not sure if i ever brace something as much as this. i think we can make the same argument about the basketball team. lets go all out.

Might have actually gone in if Beto didn't get his fingers on it.
Hmmm..with Meier watching him that means he's City bound. Oi, Meier. When you buy Mangala, send him to Spurs for a straight up swap for Dawson. It'll help your English player quota.

My WatchESPN streams are always crap so I couldn't tell if he did or not. I know Defour wanted them to give the corner.
I like Porto since they're my Football Manager team so I try and watch them when I can.
That we've been after Mangala for ages is a nice benefit on the side.

Sevilla are shit, how did they beat Real Madrid?
Zabo, pls. Lyon have been dead for years.

Where do you guys stand on judging whether a striker is world class?
Normally my criteria is 'one of the top 4 players in the world in that position', but there are so many brilliant strikers, that definition goes out of the window for them
Suarez
Ibrahimovic
Falcao
Lewandowski
Cavani
Costa*
Sturridge*
Van Persie*
Pizarro
Aguero
I'd have no qualms with anyone describing any of those 10 as world class by my own definition. The ones with asterisks could be debated for various reasons, but still.
I feel like there are one or two obvious ones I'm missing as well.

He definitely did. Should have been a corner.
