Well its not my pissing match but....
IMHO Vieira knows far better than Mancini how to annoy Fergie. Vieira remember is one of the few people at City who have experienced beating United.
He knows that some of the myths that hang around United are false but are annoying so he uses them. Today look at Ferguson have to start defending referee decisions United have got at Home, he throws in a fun barb at the end to try and distract attention but he doesnt want to talk about it, he doesnt want people talking about Fergie time or Man United referee decisions (its a myth as I said but more annoying because of that).
Even if Fergie keeps batting down Vieiras barbs brilliantly then he is still busy reacting to Vieira not busy demolishing Mancini who has proven a soft touch and "gettable" when it comes to the mind games.
So yeah I think Vieira is a very good thing for City right now, and of course very entertaining
Missed team breakfast or something like that
lol pretty harsh
edit: He had a bust up with mancini http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2121994/Mario-Balotelli-bust-Roberto-Mancini-Manchester-City-training-ground.html

Bielsa making Lucio play a high line would be HILARIOUS
hopefully they can do it against barca at the weekend
if by that you mean Barca winning by at least three goals sure.

yeah game is at Camp Nou, Saturday night, so we won't have a lot of time to even get any rest so yea.. I don't think is gonna be pretty
Nou Camp yeah. 2-2 at San Mames earlier in the season, probably the best game of the season for me. Brilliant match.
EDIT: Saturday night?! Fuck me that's a bit unfair.
I haven't been able to get into Mad Men. I know its supposed to be amazing but I can't get past the 4th episode without getting incredibly bored.
I'll try watching it again, it just starts off very slowly.

The show doesn't give much of a shit about the pace of itself... But it's fucking fantastic when you get into it, had the same problem myself at first but it's really some of the best writing I have seen in a tv show.
I've a load of friends who watch Mad Men and they basically said the same thing you're saying.
I'll give it another go but right now I'm starting the first season of Breaking Bad.
Oh my, please keep us updated on your progress. There are some moments in that show I really want to know how you react to them. Incredible show <3 cranston.

I can understand that problem. My gf had the same problem. I love the atmosphere and the writing I'd top notch. Also, breaking bad is amazing! I need to watch s4 still but it is so good. Still prefer mad men over breaking bad.
I'll try Mad Men again but that will have to wait until the Summer. I want to get into it because of all the good things I've heard about it.
But right now I'll be starting the new GoT and Breaking Bad. I've also been watching Twin Peaks. It's a good show but theres a few things I dislike about it. 1 minute it's a psychological murder mystery and the next it's a daytime soap opera.
I think it will be the toughest match of all season, including the final.
It's a good thing GoT has only 10 episodes, because once you get into BB, you won't stop, trust me.

I've found it very hard to get into BB.
There's always one. =p

That's what is amazing about it, maaaaaaan, deadly premonition and twin peaks, all my love. Also yeah breaking bad is pretty great. got a bit stuck in season 2 but forced myself through and the last season was just fantastic.

ok fellow americans, the same people that reported about al-jazeera purchasing the USA tv rights for serie a and la liga have updated with a new article based on a "source." apparently there will be a new sports network launched called "beIN sports."
i have no idea if this site is reputable, they seem to be the only ones reporting these things. but if they are right, i hope that al jazeera can get this new network up and running on most cable providers by august. i seriously doubt it though. then again waving arab moneybags can accomplish great things.

then again waving arab moneybags can accomplish great things.Saw in a Guardian article that Chelsea was planning to move for Hulk and Cavani this summer and keep Torres and Sturridge. Most telling, perhaps, is that Abramovich is reportedly heavily invested and involved in the Cavani dealings, which tells me it'll likely happen no matter who is in charge come September.
I'd love to see Cavani in the PL but the only top half teams I can tolerate at the moment are Arsenal, Spurs and Newcastle, and I don't see him being a legitimate target for any of those clubs. If he played at Chelsea it would break my heart - I have grown to absolutely loathe them, where as I was merely neutral until this season. Man City would be preferrable since they're untouchable for Liverpool anyway.
Sorry if it's already been posted or discussed while I was sleeping but all the off topic posting makes it annoying to read through the many pages I missed.

al jazeera bought la liga rights from espn and goltv.. that fucking sucks.. back to not needing cable next yr I guess I'll save the $100 a month
edit: the best solution in that article is for them to buy Goltv and keep it as is with la liga games, the channel is already in many companies plus they have the greatest commentator on earth

I pray that this doesn't happen although I would rather the asshat manage Utd than manage us!

Cavani is all about the money so would fit him to go to Chelsea (or City).
Madrid fans, too. I hope we don't make Gomez too mad..
thats the price of the tickets we sent them but yea they get up there and more expensive for europe matches

Yeah, UEFA matches are pretty much up there.
For the APOEL - Madrid game they were between 50 and 300 euro, depending on the seats. Most were around 80 I reckon.
I think that's a pretty standard price.

Nicely done. I guess that means no Hummels for you, Bayurn...lololo
It also depends a lot on the opponents. I went to see Barcelona - Rubin Kazan last year. Even though tickets were available for 30 there were still a lot of empty seats around Camp Nou. I only went because it was cheap and I lived in the neighborhood.

You make it sound as if Fergie sits in his off time and plots ways to get back at Viera for hat barb rather than plot tactics for the next match. SAF probably thought about that barb only when he was asked this question or asked to respond at this comment am sure he is not losing any sleep over this commen.Fergie is the principal of the school where Viera is teaching.
Bayern let him go coz he couldnt convince Mats to join Bayern lol

^ that makes sense, yeah. He's one of the few players with a genuine fb account and his comments tend to be very pro Dortmund. It might seem that he has grown to love the club and will not leave simply for the prospect of more money.
Also Boateng produces like 1-2 gaffe per game atm..

Oh, I suppose so.
They charge that much (30 euro-even more really sometimes) for local football matches here in Cyprus. Especially the derbies, which is why I stopped going.
I would definitely pay 80 euro to go to a European game though, especially with a well known team, for sure.
