In other news, I'm developing a mancrush on Edinson Cavani.
Cavani and Torres on the same pitch? Time to reconsider my sexuality.
Really? Cavani is one ugly mofo.
Oh I know it isn't terrible everywhere. But you still don't really see much like anything in other european leagues.
Against Newcastle in September.
OH NO YOU DIDN'T!
He may not look pretty in a still, but when he moves it's like music in visual form. Dude has that flair.

Two Rangers players have just been made redundant, with as many as ten more to follow today. It is going to be a dark day for the club.

LOL you know you could put me on ignore? If you don't like what I write it's there for a reason.
Liverpool have quite a few crappy players.

I don't see how we can do it, but we have to go for pride after being humiliated in Milan.

City and many clubs have stewards who threaten to kick out anyone who stands up. There's a lot of hate towards the stewards on many English club forums for this.
On the other hand, there are a lot of families etc who prefer to sit down. If people stand up they won't see sheeeeit.
Plus, this is how it looked after Celtic came to visit Etihad:
Nah, I'm not a four year old, despite what the coherency of some of my sentences may cause you to think

Yeah that shit is fucking stupid. Dedicate a stand or something to the fans then, there will be lots of room (especially on Etihad
) for them to have their own dedicated place where you don't have to sit down and be proper like you're in the opera. The guards at stamford bridge were surprisingly ok with Copenhagens fans the last time. When we met them in a qualification years ago they also threatened to kick the fans out, lol.I told you, man. Llorente is the real deal.
If he scores against us, I will be mad, tho.

85000 souls yelling at the same time in Bernabéu is something everyone should experience.
I've been to other big stadiums like Camp Nou or Calderón, but they aren't as "closed" as Bernabéu is. The ground shakes below your feet.

Sir! The Etihad has been sold out every single league match this season, a month in advance almost every time.
For some reason it was empty seats in Champions League though. Stoke>Bayern

Manchester - Athletic is one of the most promising matches this leg.

Still wouldn't be hard to dedicate a stand to them though, I am sure there is enough City fans who would love to stand up for a game, at least it looks like that judging from when you have done your little dance with your backs to the game.
Yeah. I try to go to a game or so every year. Last year I went to all the Europa League games at home and I went City V Wigan too.
This year, even with my modest point total, I don't stand a sniff at getting a ticket for pretty much anything.
Oh and Tevez is going to play in front of City fans tonight at the reserve game. It's held at Hyde and should draw quite a big crowd. The reception he will get is going to be interesting.
I'll admit he's hot but, not mancrush material for me
I need dat flair.
I'm ashamed to mancrush on Torres though. He's such a shit player this season.

I think one of the main reasons of its popularity is that its one of the few times the stewards let people stand up. They really are hated.

Interesting post.
Nani seems to be quite highly rated amongst fans I speak to, United and Non-United. Liverpool fans I speak to in particular think he is brilliant, though that's probably skewed by their own misfortune in that position.
He's a good player though, Nani. I'm not sure how you could deny that. May not be as great as some people make out but his performances and stats speak for themselves. Still very inconsistent though.
It's funny you say that about United fans and Nani though, because a couple of years ago everybody was pretty much sick of him and calling for him to be let go/replaced. Back then United fans were impatient spoilt brats. Doesn't add up.
It's infuriating that I can manage to get tickets for both the derby and the FA Cup game against Stoke, and very easily for both of them too. Yet I can't get a ticket for Wigan, Arsenal and now probably Villa because the club have decided members who actually pay them money aren't important and they'll just throw all the tickets on general sale, basically making the £30 'membership' fee worthless. I hate our ticket office.
I completely agree he's not the greatest player to ever walk the Earth and he's far too inconsistent for his own good, but to counter saying 'I don't rate Nani' with 'only United fans do because they rate all their players' is just stupid.

The more I watch Cavani play the more I become a Napoli fan. the guy is just oozing of awesomeness.
Also did you know that when Torres was with Liverpool he was scoring a goal every 1.57 matches. At Chelsea he is scoring 1 every 12 matches, he is due a goal pretty soon.

Yea, you need a real one, like Kevin Prince-Boateng.
I still have feelings for Torres too

Yeah of course it is.
Our impatience with Ashley Young in this thread is testament enough to that but I reckon PD was just fishing with that.
His youtube clips have some of the worst music.

Despite his goals on Sunday, he still needs to be trapped in a horrific fire and reevaluate his decisions every time he runs down the wing, only just escaping by actually running towards the door instead of stopping and shuffling around as his leg catches fire.

Young's dribbling does look bloody limited at the moment. But I can't really argue with a great assist for Giggs and 3 goals.
Edit: I have a feeling the above will be Young's career at United in microcosm.

Well like I said the only people I know who rate Nani are United fans that I deal with, whether they are friends, family or clients. No one else is really impressed by him whether they are Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Villa or whatever other team they are a fan of. Also I wasn't around Football Gaf a couple of years ago.
How much pace does he actually have ? I don't think he's actually indicated either way while he's been with us.

Everton Reserves vs Liverpool Reserves starting in a bit, Channel 434 on Sky. Everton putting out a very strong team, but we got Sterling and Suso
He's fast but he never gets to prove it seeing as he seems scared of actually running into space.

He's a stone wall 15 Pace and 15 Acceleration in FM terms.

Gah. Can get a stream for that but not for MUFC res v WBA res.
Why does the universe despise me.
Edit: AHA ! Found it.
Nani is hands down the best EPL winger. I guess nobody you know actually knows much about football then.

I think Carroll's quite awesome-looking, even though in theory I should think he looks a right twat
Alonso best be in the team though
