Will there be an official Euros thread or will all the talk be done in here?



Yep but he's been banging that same damn drum after every game this season. I'm getting sick of it. Horrible season and part of me can see it going downhill from here.

There will be a Euro thread, and the football thread will continue as well, it'll be full of transfer gossip etc.

I note the omission of the word 'ability'.

Desire and commitment too.

It does get me down how distinctly average we are despite the money we've spent, and I also can't help but think where we'd be had the money been spent by someone else. I love Kenny for everything he's done for the club and the pockets of bliss he's given me since he's been back (contrary to GAF's erroneous opinion there have been a few), but I just think it's time for a change and a new direction.

Seven (eight) from Juve, three from Milan, one (extremely bad) from Inter. History repeats itself, once again.

Glad for Verratti and Ogbonna, but I don't see them getting to the Euros. Same goes for Cigarini, Schelotto, Viviano, Destro and Bocchetti.

I like how you bolded Verratti too, lol. Yeah, we're fucked. Which is why it was so, so , SO IMPORTANT that we managed to win the scudetto this season. Been saying this for months. But who cares!!!! ABBIAMO VINTOOOOOO!!! DIMMI DIRETTA DIMMI TUTTO!!!
 
Thiago Motta? How long has he played for Italy for? You shouldn't be allowed to change allegiances once you've be capped by the full national side. That bullshit in my opinion.

He'll get another season. There will be a slightly new direction as far as transfers go with comolli taking the fall as he has.
 
Fair play to City we had our chance to win it a few weeks ago but did not take it, City stayed in there and took there chance.

We did not deserve it in the end, this is not a good United team Fergie needs to re-build for us to stand a chance next season.

Barton will always find a club somewhere as a mercenary. The fact that teams continued to sign El Hadji Diouf is proof of that.
