Yeah but that's not how you spell it. He's not known for self-mockery either.

He's a shitty boarder and this thread is better off without him

Why you think this?
He's a wind up merchant without much else to him. He wasn't as clever as his tweet to Arnie would suggest, and he wasn't one to provide insight about anything, except maybe the particular dynamic of being a supporter from Australia.
I'd come into here and it would be a page full of nonsense with him at the center of it, and then when he'd get banned people would spend another page talking about how it happened. It's the same feeling I get from the fucking Kardashians; why do people care about this person who provides absolutely nothing worthwhile?
Never have truer words been spoken.
He's clearly a bit desperate for attention.
Why else would he be getting into random twitter feuds with gaffers?
On a completely different note, I had training yesterday for the first time in 2 weeks.
It was nothing that bad but my legs were a little stiffer than usual. So I decided to do some calf and hamstring stretches.
It feels like pure sex.

bruv for the last month i've been on a regime of cardio/wights at the gym, kettlebell sessions, boxing and street running.
I wake up stiff every morning unable to walk until i've stretched. I am literally the morning boner, and it feels great.
Yeah, I realized that while reading RAWK. Which means fuck all, because they're clueless. All things considered, he could be one of the best signings of the season.
"We need to be smart with our signings, like Newcastle was. Target players from smaller Bundesliga or Ligue 1 teams and not of trendy nationalities before they become stars."
"What the fuck are we doing buying Gylfi? We should save that money for Cavani!"
I love it.
I bet some people think he's Welsh
I really want us to get Yann M'Vila as he's exactly the type of player we need then we can deploy Alex Song forward more without exposing our back 4. Alex Song playing a more advanced role could suit him well as he netted a lot of assists last season and has an excellent pass when he can be bothered. M'Vila + Arteta and we will have a formidable midfield which should help us prevent conceeding so many stupid goals like last season.
FM question: when I search for a player I know exists, I can't ever find him. Is this because I don't have scouts actively working in that territory?
For example I tried to search for Gaston Ramirez, but his name came up with no results. The next game day, lo and behold one of my scouts recommends him to me as a quality player.

Salcido is going to be one of the overage players for Mexico.
fml
He's going to replace one of the midfielders.

It's probably because of accents and what not in their names, Gaston Ramirez is not the actual spelling, it is Gastón Ramírez, notice the accents on the o and i. If you know the player, just search by their club instead.

uh what
he's only been Mexico's most consistent and best player since 2002. Not to mention he can play as either a central back, a left back, a right back, or a defensive midfielder. Guy brings versatility to the Olympic squad, and he's a fucking mule. He works the shit out of himself on the pitch. He's only the best option they could have chosen for the Olympics!

Too true. I don't see any value in us going for a proven premiership player. We got screwed by spurs on Carrick and berbatov. I'm fed up of over priced British based players
It's a lazy signing IMO. I think it's been proven we need European class players. Ones who have got some salt about them in a different leauge. We could have won the prem, but got destroyed in europe! Which shows we are lacking something. We have an absurd lack of European class and experience in our midfield, sans Giggs and Scholes. Hell, I don't think we have a world class player in our midfield at all.
This. It seems our scouts are getting worse by the season. We've been missing gem after gem, whilst other teams pick them up first
Dreams! Still, I just hope ferguson looks outside of thr premiership for thr next signing. Premiership players cost too much and some have the problem of being successful on the European stage
Uhh...
Apparently Rod Stewart bought it for him. :|
Rod Stewart bought Elton John a baby?!
I am in Orlando wish I could go to that game

You should skip work or whatever the fuck you went there for to watch it!

I disagree. I love Salcido, but the dude shouldn't take over one of the midfielders spots (assuming he plays there since he is too slow to play defense now a days). His past shouldn't guarantee him a starting spot now, especially since he is not what he used to be.
I want to see Jona and Herrera play. Salcido is going to force one of them to sit. I already want Jona to play for the senior team, along with Zavala. Salcido is playing there now, because Jona had to finish up his Barca B duties or because he is actually going to take over the spot for a while? I had hoped he was only filling in. Him being called up raises questions.
Also, why not have Ayala go? He would really help the defense, which is the team's weak point. I wanted Moreno to go, but apparently Espanyol isn't letting him.

I think that the Toulon tournament proved that Salcido is gonna be playing as a Central Back. Let us remember that it was Tuca who reinvented Salcido as a Defensive Midfielder --that was never his natural position and the fact that he has been able to work there says a lot about the guy. We need someone to stabilize the backline, and Mier can only do so much against opposition that will consist of people like Forlán, Cavani, and Suárez.
I'm sure Salcido won't take Herrera's spot at all, since that was Mexico's strongest link in the Toulon tournament. And until I see Jona play more consistently with Mexico I'm skeptical of what he can do. The kid was invisible in the match versus Colombia back in February.

Having just started getting into FM, it's incredible how well this game lines up with actions that go on in reality.
The mere fact that Gaston Ramirez was suggested to me by a scout is interesting, given how much we've been linked with him in real life. I figure there's some algorithm that helps to identify what players would be good fits for what teams, given their current strengths and weaknesses, but whatever it is, it's very accurate.

It's so fucking good. I'm currently running away with everything; 13 points ahead of Chelsea, 22 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses with 81 goals in the league. But I'm going through the spell when I can't finish to save my life and I'm struggling in the FA Cup all of a sudden.
Beat Newcastle in the Carling Cup final mwahahahaha.
Also I fell asleep at 4 and I start work at 9. I'm so fucking tired.

I wonder how Korean's feel about this move?

I'm assuming this has something to do with Park no longer being the Asian superstar at United?

Some Korean on big soccer (lol) was mentioning some bad comments towards Shinji.

Trolls will be trolls I guess.
Edit: I can't read Korean though. :lol
Youngsters will be psyched. Tends to be older folks who go in for nationalist troublemaking. And internet trolling, curiously enough.

Also, I started watching Running Man, due to Park being a guest on the show. It's really funny seeing Park's personality.
Best show in the world.

Not sure I can agree there. The most adamant anti-Japanese Koreans I met were all young. That isn't to say that it's representative entirely, but I think the anti-Japanese sentiment is much deeper rooted and isn't simply a divide of young and old.
I think Regulus has it right Koreans will be bitter because the Asian star at United will be Japanese and no longer Korean. Again it'd be silly to claim this nationalism is that wide spread. But it's there.
