Some fans are daft.

Frimpong has said on twitter "what's this I'm hearing about Mr Cash Money."

And now people are asking him to 'frimpong Nasri and have done with it'. I mean, what does that even mean?!?

 

[mocolostrocolos]

That's....not good

No... and yes. It's not full real time combat, there's a chain of actions and you can decide better strategies.

He joked about a horrendous challenge on Lucas, so I'd imagine that.

One of my friends is prone to "Denching" after a few drinks, he's an Arsenal fan, and it irks me. Really dislike Frimpong.

LOL! Owen Hargreaves made the most passes in the PL without giving the ball away, 15 passes.

Poor Owen, it's not worked out for him.

Its not "worked out" for Owen in years.

I think his last season where he was properly fit was 4 years ago.

I feel bad for him because he was a very good midfielder when he was fit.

He'd be a definite starter for United and England if he could ever stay injury free.

 

[GQman2121]

So has everyone posted this transfer shopping/wish lists yet? By this time next week I expect shit to get crazy.

It doesn't work out for most Owens.

Clegg's fawning over Kagawa. I'm waiting for City to buy hazard so we can grab another English winger in Johnson.

You should go for a straight swap; Downing for Johnson

 

[Blablurn]

Duesseldorf all the way tonight。

Wouldn't work.

 

[Clegg]

Johnson isn't that good imo.

He's a decent winger but he's shown nothing to suggest that he'd make much of a difference if he moved to Liverpool.

And I'm going to be crushed when Kagawa moves to Arsenal.

I think he could be better than Young, if he was a starter. And obviously is way better than Downing.

 

[Vivalaraza]

And I'm going to be crushed when Kagawa moves to Arsenal.

It's in the bag mate.

Might be one of the few things that could make buy a United shirt this year. Definitely a fake one though. No way am I paying £50 for that disaster.

I'll probably just get a Japan shirt instead actually.

 

[Arnie]

Having a nice three course meal in an hour with the newspaper before the big student media awards tonight. Our radio shows nominated three times but I don't expect to win; we saw one of the judges the other day and he wasn't in the best mood to socialise, especially after I put my best Paulie Walnuts point and stare on him.

I don't wear shirts often but when I do I look the business. Might start buying shirts just to wear casually. They look cool as fuck.

It's all about smart-casual shirts. I went down to Chesire Oaks a couple of weeks ago and picked up some really nice one at a really good price. If you can get down there when you're back home from Uni have a look. Worth the trip.

 

[Carbonox]

I fucking hate being the lone regular Toon fan here. Willkiller's banned, Kyoufu's making love to Diablo 3, and Offshore/Chriswok hardly jam with us. Isn't Choodi one though?...

 

[elsk]

Duesseldorf all the way tonight。

Duesseldorf would get relegated next season anyway... their best player is that winger from HSV. He is returning to HSV so yeah, they would add nothing to the Bundesliga. I hope Hertha makes it.

I wish Owen Hargreaves would come back to Munich.

 

[Clegg]

Right now Young is a much better player.

Johnson has the potential to be good but Mancini obviously sees something that he doesn't like about Johnson.

I've never been to Cheshire Oaks, my friends used to go there for cheap Lacoste polo shirts back in high school.

Might go for two buttons undone, show a bit of hair. It's provocative; gets the people going.

I believe we could come to some mutual agreement in which we combine forces to rule this thread and soon, Community itself.

Apparently Kenny is back in the UK, has not resigned, has not been sacked, and "the season review continues". According to the Times.

Edit: That United away kit is ugly if real.

Selling him was our best piece of business. I would take him as a youth coach.

I'm going for that Sopranos look.

Speaking of dodgy looks, that United kit's fucking abominable.

Gutted that they shut the HMV down..

Dayum...

How did he get so popular in the first place?!

 

[Vivalaraza]

Nike have well and truly trolled us. It can't be real that shirt, it just cannot be real.

Also, Adam Johnson in 25 in a months time. Wow, "wasted" some important years of his career at City.

Dayum...

How did he get so popular in the first place?!

No idea. Just by being generally awesome in the first place, he had some amazing success and opportunities through Twitter which he explained in his farewell letter.

Dear Twitter, I'm writing this to inform you that I won't be using you anymore.
It's been exactly one year today since I joined you and we've had some good times and some bad - unfortunately, the bad now outweigh the good. I'm eternally thankful for the brilliant people you've introduced me to and the opportunities you've given me. When I joined you I had an unparalleled love for football, a passion to share that love with like-minded people and perhaps a little too much time on my hands - now I have none of those things.
One year ago I was a 22 year old advertising student with no idea of where I wanted my life to take me and, to be honest, I still have no idea. I do know that there's no way in a million years I would have believed anyone telling me that one year on I'd have done the things I have, though. I've worked with some of the biggest hitters in football, I've won awards, I've been shown round the Emirates, I've met my heroes and I've even sat in an executive box at Wembley. I've done all of these things and more because of you.
Unfortunately, my sanity is constantly pushed to the limit by people who don't understand that football is only football.
My friends often ask me if reading "I hope you get cancer and die", "I'll slit your throat if I ever meet you" and the rest gets to me, and I've always laughed at them and said "Honestly? No." It doesn't. Not even a little bit. Not just because I'm thick skinned, but because I know that the people saying those things aren't capable of rational or logical thought. If they aren't capable of those things, why should I care about the nonsense that they say? This all changes, though, when people start saying those things to my friends and family. I mean, come on, really?! Because I say something about the football team someone supports, they feel the need to get THAT personal?
It's never been a secret that I have another account on here which I use to keep in touch with friends, but when people start posting it everywhere and encouraging abuse a line has to be drawn. Because I tweeted something about Kenny Dalglish, hundreds of Liverpool fans started tweeting abuse at my personal account and friends. I often make jokes about Liverpool, but I have nothing against them or their fans and certainly wouldn't make it personal. It's people like this minority of fans who give their club, and football fans in general, a bad name. Grow up and learn some respect, for everyone else's sake and for your own.
Anyway, if you want to stick around, I may change my mind in the future and come back. Then again, I may not. As I said a few days ago, I just need a little while without the abuse etc. to sort my life out. Anyone who I'm in regular contact with, whether it's in regards to work or just keeping in contact, can still reach me by email or direct message. If you need my email etc. for work enquiries, don't hesitate to ask - I'm always on the lookout for new ventures.
Cheers again, Twitter - it's been awesome. xox

Can't blame him really. Stupid keyboard warriors.

 

[PaulLFC]

What is it with Nike and making shit club kits lately?

 

[Wilbur]

Wouldn't work.

I am aware of this.

Also I wear shirts almost every day, casual shirts are awesome. I'm a H&M/River Island dresser.

I always assumed Football GAF shopped at Jacamo.

 

[Meier]

Also, Adam Johnson in 25 in a months time. Wow, "wasted" some important years of his career at City.

He's been in 97 matches in 2.5 seasons. It's not like he's just been sitting twiddling his thumbs. For his sake I hope he gets sold because I think he deserves more reliable first team football. I think he's a great sub for the team though personally -- he always provides a jolt of energy.

 

[Blablurn]

Duesseldorf would get relegated next season anyway... their best player is that winger from HSV. He is returning to HSV so yeah, they would add nothing to the Bundesliga. I hope Hertha makes it.

I get ur points but i just wanna see the lulz. And this is berlin going to league 2

 

[K1LLER7]

Not sure if posted but a German paper is saying Kagawa flew to Manchester yesterday night. Most likely lies.

He's played but his career hasn't progressed. Players of his type at his age need to be managed carefully and given chances to develop and prove their worth. That was never going to happen for him at City once it became clear he wasn't a top player in the immediate future.

He needs to drop down a level to a mid-table team and get as many games under his belt and try and build confidence and form back.

Not sure if posted but a German paper is saying Kagawa flew to Manchester yesterday night. Most likely lies.

They even gave the arrival time and Flight No. Apparently it's a trusted news outlet...but yeah, can't trust anyone in the media these days.

[Gareth Bale]

What I gathered from these:
- English strikers can't pass
- Bale needs to work on his shooting
- Carroll is ridiculously good in the air.
- United need better full backs
- Liverpool can't finish

[Vivalaraza]

27 from crosses?

What the hell? How many did we concede all season, can't have been much more than 40. That is a ridiculously high %.

That also shows we missed Vidic's commanding presence in the centre and that DDG has been/is shaky on crosses.

 

[dc89]

That advert is cringe worthy when the guy goes over to that woman and just 'alright love' and then goes back to his mates and they like celebrate him talking to a girl.

Can anyone explain it.

 

[Carbonox]

Jacamo advert is shite. It's all about the Think Box advert with the dog and his friend (the rabbit toy).

It doesn't work out for most Owens.


Clegg's fawning over Kagawa. I'm waiting for City to buy hazard so we can grab another English winger in Johnson.

No thanks. He is one dimensional just like Downing. A one trick pony with nothing else up his sleeve. No need to buy anymore dead woods, Liverpool already have enough of those.
