Don't think he's on that much to be honest; think it was just paper bollocks. Either way, it doesn't matter what we're willing to pay - the likes of City and Chelsea will always outbid us.

Perhaps but...City box on a Sunday, dinner with RVP a few days later...that shits dodgy.
Don't want Hazard. Won't say no though. If we're paying £120k a week to Ashley Young i'll cut myself. But even so, it's not a massive wage anymore, sounds like £150k is the average for top players now. Obv. Ashley Young isn't a top player so that's irrelevant.

I see many fans point to wanting the 4-3-3 back, but apart from that period last season when Roon was dominating as our main centre forward and having someone as consistently mobile as Fletcher in midfield, I've rarely seen us properly click in 4-3-3.
However, I understand we fucked up big in Europe this year so I do understand the need for more caution in Europe.

I hate 4-3-3. The only reason 4-3-3 every worked for us was because Ronaldo and Tevez are beasts so when you have players of that quality alongside Rooney you're just bound to produce quality.
We do need to have the option of playing 4-3-3 however and we cannot because we don't have a CM with any real star quality which means we become slow and static in the middle of the park.
Yeah watched them all recently, really funny but not as good as the UK one. If that's a 10, the US one is an 8
Fletcher god, I miss him
was perfect for Europe

Totally agree. The lack of midfield support means our play becomes segmented, especially between the midfielders and attackers. We just end up isolated and the tempo grinds to a halt. It's both painful and predictable to watch.
We changed our formation in Europe this season.
Thats what I can't understand. We got to 3 CL finals in 5 seasons and we decide to change the formation.
That wasn't the only problem of course. The players weren't playing particularly well either.
I dislike Ashley Young but he was one of our better players in the CL campaign.

Our European run went stride for stride with pretty much a blanket of poor form for our whole squad... Park I feel was like our best European player lol.
I hope it happens. Lightning's tears would go well with my chips.

Lightning's predictions of club fealty are as perrenial as the grass, as are his subsequent jilted bitter tears.

You and me both!
If the face wasn't enough, you can see he's wearing a zip-up cardigan in both pictures. Not that it's a highly unusual item, but yeah...
If you guys watch The Wire I promise I'll start watching Breaking Bad.
Also, footy tomorrow right?

Ok, you're on! Yep, will be a good day
Just a shame we have to cheer on Liverpool if we want that Europa spot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is. It really is.

If Liverpool win I'll be very happy tbh. We'll be virtually guaranteed a Europa spot given our 12 point lead over 7th place. Lets hug

ESPN can fuck off by the way, i pay enough for sky as it is
Only thing I like about ESPN is former Newcastle player Warren Barton.
That's it.

Yep, it's pretty terrible :/
Aren't you headed to Wembley?
Going to have to either go to a pub or run to my nans and nag her to get a monthly subscription to ESPN, and reimburse her for the favour.
This is such bullshit.
Nope. Didn't go to any FA Cup games so couldn't get access to a ticket.

Heading to Borham Wood for a Farnborough away game so will miss the FA Cup Semi but I assume ITV will have highlights?
Fucking Reading getting promoted as soon as I leave, got to the playoffs every year I was there and never managed to get promoted until now.
Bet when I return in a few years they'll manage to get themselves relegated the season before, the cunts.
Also Im glad the Semi Final is on at a reasonable time, I hate having to get up at 3am, plus its nice to have something to look forward to today other than a trip to the hospital.

I haven't gotten up at 7:30 to watch a match in awhile. There will most likely be a red card.
Spearing will be sent off because he's too ugly for London.
He should play in one of those protective masks. To protect us.
The Wire is by a good distance the best TV drama I've seen. It's been a few years since I've watched it. I need to get on that.
The biggest gap in my television viewing is The Sopranos. Not really sure why I haven't watched it yet.
Also I watched one episode of the most recent season of Dexter and gave up.
Also I'm going to see the Avengers tomorrow!
On topic though, why is the Liverpool/Everton FA Cup match on so early?

The sole reason is to piss off Mersyside.
Hahaha.
I predict a massive shitstorm if Liverpool lose tomorrow. If they lose... Kenny out.
Yup. Mike Ashley will sack Kenny.
It is like $70-$100 to park at a Cowboys game. No joke. We looked into going to their game against the Fins on Thanksgiving last year since my fiancée is a big fan but the parking alone kept us from making the drive. Would have already cost about $200 for the tickets as is. Absurd.

Looks to be the same man. I expect him to leave but to meet with other clubs during the season, and then post the image on Twitter, is enough for me to want the arm band off him and bench him for the remaining games.
