Those Verratti balls over the top. Fuck man. He's brilliant.
Hey not my fault you guys were 8 points clear and got 4-4'd by Everton at home
We'll see what happens on Sunday. This season has been so weird it could go down to the last game.
Expecting cricket score tomorrow unfortunately.
RDM made a deal with the devil and there is no stopping it.
It is your fault! YOU'RE KERMIT
IMO, Gómez is a terrible player.
Well, Lahm is the best full-back out there, so yes I do think he's better than Alves. I still think Gustavo is a better tackler, but Busquets is a better player (passing, attacking, etc).
There's a reason why Bayern is in the final, you know?
Fuck it, can't bother watching this match.
lol, Solbakken is great. I hope another team from the Bundesliga will take him. Would like to see him in the future. Köln just never knows when they shpuld stick with someone.
Relegation in the Bundesliga is a joke this season. Both teams, Berlin and Köln, deserve to go to 2nd League this year.

Latest on Pogba from his agent.
There's hope yet. A little bit of hope yet.

Fuck him.
Such a gentle lover that it is difficult to tell if he is in.

He's been dicking about for months.

I'm sure RVP has received an offer from us, He just doesn't want it. I don't buy waiting until the end of the season/euros. I know how that ends.

Worked out for Rooney
He's English, I don't know what you're talking about.
We'll swap him for Song and 50 million
Rooney is one of the best players in the world.
Pogba hasn't even started a senior game for United.

No no I understand what you were saying, as I mentioned in the edit my post kinda came out aggressive looking. I like Bayern, a lot, probably my favourite team out there(not incl Barca of course).
But I just disagree with some of your opinions on your players, that's all. Eg I dont think Gomez is a terrible player, he would have helped us against Chelsea a lot, and he gets you guys goals, a lot of goals.
With or without hair ?
I hope you stick around next season as well.
Gomez is a really difficult topic, even among Bayern supporters. I'm anything else but a Gomez-Hater, but even I just had to "hate" him during several scenes in the semi-finale. He just HAD to score at least 2 goals that Wednesday. Some of the opportunities he lets go by are just unacceptable. I couldn't imagine someone like Benzema for example to be missing them too. On the other hand, he was working really hard, gained a lot of room and was really useful as an open man for passing.
80% of his goals are the ones you would consider as "easy". But still, you got to be there to score them. The other 20% are also typical Gomez. One odd looking body swerve and a perfect finish into the net.
I wouldn't miss our first round Europa exit for the world.
Next season, I suspect Chelsea and Arsenal will be challenging for the title.
:lol Perfect.
Going by the Football GAF style guide you don't need double 'l' there mate.
Whenever I see a paper with "dissapointed" in it, I wonder if the student is a gaffer.

Its funny because there was a lot written by the media about Hodgson being the right man for Liverpool. You could feel their smugness when he was actually appointed manager of them.
Of course he then failed and some lads in the media were made to look a bit silly.
Now they can't give a shit about him.

Simmer down Kermit.
There were times during his stint at Liverpool where I genuinely despised the man; when he said our defeat against Everton was our best performance of the season, when he said Northampton Town at home was a tough game, etc.
However as the memory of his time with us is repressed further and further into the recesses of my brain I find it increasingly hard to dislike the man. He just comes across as a harmless, old Englishman. Now the appointment has been sealed I think I'd rather have Roy as the manager over 'Arry.
With Harry you'd have the inevitable sense of victory going into the tournament. We've got our man so let's go batter the French. However this cocksure attitude doesn't serve us well. I'd honestly rather have headlines mocking our manager's speech impediment (no matter how distasteful) than see a collection of headlines bigging up our chances in Poland.
And despite his detestable stench, Bernstein has a point. Hodgson is more equipped and ready to handle the jump from club manager to international manager than any other English candidate. And in my opinion an English manager was crucial.

The more the southern press want to bury him the more I root for us more than I have in years
All we need now is for the press to bury some of the more dodgy players, and we'll all be set.
Just having an Englishman in charge ensures that. And I mean someone chosen, not Mclaren who fell into the job and couldn't even qualify.
And say what you want about Roy, he's exquisitely English. Verbally he's completely stereotypical, all he needs is a bowler hat and a curly moustache.
Artistically and graphically, yes. In terms of doing something completely new and batshit insane with the franchise I've got to commend Treyarch. Definitely blew away my expectations.

just on harry vs roy
Roy has managed internationally which is significantly different to Club football
Harry should go get another intl job if he is serious about wanting the Three Lions. Sure it was money that pushed him out really, but Roy was a good choice as he knows how intl football works

Not to have a go, but I don't think them being 'southern press' is really relevant. I'm sure most of the back pages have addressed the fact that the majority of people didn't expect the FA to offer him the position. It's not their job to ignore that.
