I put my pics in quote tags so they go small!
I was going to do that, but it's already been done now.
Less work for me.

Gonna throw this out there right now, but ESPN sucks.
Also, love the GAF-Gold pic. Priceless.

It's bad enough in when quoted to a smaller size.

Looks like Berbatov will be leaving us this summer. I can't imagine he will stick around. He is well behind Welbeck and Hernandez in the pecking order. Those two will only improve and we play 4-3-3 at times which doesn't suit Berbatov either.
Overall his transfer will have to be judged a failure for me. Perhaps not a flop, but as I thought when we signed him, he was the wrong type of player for us. He's a good player with great ability but we paid £30m for him and must be paying him close to £100k a week. Cost us £50m in total and his 4 years haven't been worth that. A shame. Hope he finds a good club to go to next season. I think he could be great for Arsenal actually.

I can see him going abroad if he leaves United.
He's still a very good player and I think a number of clubs would be interested in signing him.
I hope he goes to Milan. He could team up with Ibra to form the most apathetic frontline in world football.
would love to see him in juve.
imagine him scoring goals for us this season instead of arsenal. we would had been been winning serie a easily -_-
Thanks, can anyone bold some Ajax players worth looking at?
For LFC, it will be 4231 - Suso on the right, Adorjan in the hole, Sterling left, Ngoo up front.
I'm getting a Curry.
Klaassen and Fischer. Klaassen already had 6 first team appearances.

Premier League chairman Sir Dave Richards has accused Fifa and Uefa of stealing football from the English. At a sports and security conference in Qatar, he suggested to the audience that the world had England to thank for football. "England gave the world football. It gave the best legacy anyone could give. We gave them the game," said Richards. "Then, 50 years later, some guy came along and said, you're liars, and they actually stole it. It was called Fifa." We started the game and wrote the rules and took it the world
Sir Dave Richards, who is also a Football Association board member, was speaking in front of Fifa vice president Prince Ali Bin Hussein of Jordan and International Cricket Council chief executive Haroon Lorgat. He added: "Fifty years later, another gang came along called Uefa and stole a bit more."
When suggestions were made that the game could have originated in China, Richards replied in a raised voice: "It started in Sheffield 150 years ago. We started the game and wrote the rules and took it to the world. The Chinese may say they own it but the British own it and we gave it to the rest of the world."
The Premier League was quick to distance itself from the comments.

No joke but 10 minutes after he gave the speech he fell into a swimming pool while wearing his suit.

who else went in to kiss their screens
Karma redeemed.
Being nice to people on FIFA is the height of futility. I sent a message to a guy who beat me saying:
"Well played mate, really good game"
To which he responded:
"Nah not really, u were shit"

Plenty of English journos were at the event and have backed the claim up. I hope there's video.

Trying to set up a subscription to FSC before 3:30. Got the game set to dvr though. So I'll either get to see Chelsea vs Napoli or 2.5 hours of blackness. :b

Just read Fergie's quotes. Looks like Berba's going in the summer. Pity to see him potentially leaving before Owen, but even though he's probably our most talented striker next to Rooney, it's pretty obvious the manager doesn't trust him to perform reliably in big games. And, to be fair, that's probably not Berba's fault. If you watched him at Spurs, you'd know that it was always going to be an even chance he'd find difficulty slotting into our system. With an outright poacher like Chicharito as well as an up-and-coming Welbeck, who could possibly become a complete forward, alongside plentiful backup options - and at the age of 31 - it was just never going to turn around for him. I doubt Fergie will lose too much sleep over letting him go, except for the money and the wasted amount of ludicrous class that'll be gone. Yeah, he should lose one night, at least.
napoli's defense is hardly the greatest, so anything can happen really. obviously napoli are favored, but i'd give chelsea at least a 20% chance.
Nope. Cavani is going to mancrush Chelsea.
If Napoli defend as badly as they did in the first leg, I can see them losing today. What I don't see is a situation where they fail to score, so I don't really see Chelsea winning the tie.
