I think you will be excited by the time it comes around.
Euros and Olympics should both be great. Awesome times.

I was more excited one month before the WC than I am right now.

Roger Johnson didn't look too good when asked about it
Wolves fans are pretty positive about it but still thinking it's somewhat of a gamble. But they all seem to be happier with a gamble than some old washed out British manager.

Pogba Marrone Verratti
Pirlo Marchisio Vidal
Come at me?
Soon to be one of the top 5 midfields in Europe? Just might be.
How would JuveGAF feel about a move for Bastos again in the LB role? In a 3-5-2 he'd be absolutely dominant. I'm not sure about his crossing ability and I think Paolino has the edge both in that and his defensive ability but against provincial squads he's fast enough to really stretch them out.
Also, is it true we're not going for Dzeko? Heard something about Conte not liking his style of striker (which I guess means no Berbatov either).

So Chelsea already got Courtois, Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne. Lots of rumors of trying to buy Fellaini, Hazard and mow Dembele too. Damn man, might as well buy the whole Belgian national team at this point.

The champion arrived in Berlin:
It's funny that there's no one that can rock a suit lol. Schmelzer and Großkreutz look just totally out of place with it, Götze looks like some college party guy and Gündogan like some mafia boss. I guess Barrios and Santana look okay but yeah...

I wonder what team Salazar will support, seeing as he is from Wales and lives in Australia (I think?) lol
Team Cleverley.
I will be in glorious suspension. This, that, the other - a little of everything, floating about. Like a disoriented prisoner of the golden age KGB interrogators.

Bayern Munich have 13,500 seats reserved in every league game for standing tickets at a cost of 15 each. They're owned by 130k members, who can watch games for 12.50 each. They also have 6,000 season tickets sold for just £100.
They're still raking it in, playing home grown stars, have the most beautiful ground in the world, boss kits and an entertaining brand of football.
I'm not a massive Bayern fan or anything but god damn that is how you run a football club. Just for this master plan they deserve to win the CL.

dont worry, though, your coach makes up for it:

I assume you have peered mystically at the remains of a kebab for some time before making this call.
We are clearly going to sign a proper fucking midfielder. Only professional miserabilists (u know who u are) would maintain substantial doubts about that.
A long term serious injury to a Manchester United player? Why i have never heard of such a thing.
If I can't find it out by smelling the underside of a strip of lamb doner, it's almost not worth knowing.

In today's Kean news Steve Kean accuses the local journo of being negative all season:
http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/9701259.Kean_defends_his_transfers/?
We tried to get a squad that could stay in the leagues. I dont want to comment about figures and whats been decided on a financial plan, it was my job to manage the team and I can hold my head high and so can the players.
Fuck

Wait no one has responsed to him haha

He couldn't give a shit, he's driving to Hillsborough to get a deal thrashed out with Dave Jones.
Apparently £250k will get Ranger out of Newcastle, too. Any of our Geordie lads know how much he's on a week?

I thought it was supposed to be AVB? edit:indeed, Valencia confirmed that the guy had already accepted a job somewhere, makes sense if it were Roma.
I doubt they'll go from one new philosophy based on high pressing from a young coach that failed to another haha! AVB should go either back to Porto or to a team with smaller aspirations. He's still so young, no need to sabotage his career further
A united player got seriously injured again, why wouldn't i be here????????????

It's a crazy group. On the positive side, they will be paired with a weak Group A if they get through.
The Dutch have enough to beat both Portugal and Denmark. Germany will be a crapshoot.

Wow. How old is he now?
I hope he comes back and helps out with younger players, you can tell his heart is in football. He'd be an asset to any team.
Edit: Just read he's managing Newcastle Benfield. What a legend!
