Let me make it even dead-er for you then: John Elkann is a worthy successor of Gianni and Umberto Agnelli.

I hate them both equally.

I never understand why Liverpool got Aquilani and never even gave him a shot.. weird.

He was the replacement when we decided Xabi Alonso was no longer needed, but was constantly injured.

His signing was the beginning of the end for that amazing 08/09 team.

 

[sneaky77]

Benitez bought Aquilani.

yeah.. but then they never gave him a shot, is not like he is a bad player.

Arkham City is a great game. Fantastic for a Batman fan who is familiar with the comics and such, brilliant lore.

Should've bought Barry

We gave him a shot when he was fit, and he performed well, under Benitez at least.

which makes even less sense then lol.

People have gone batshit insane on my facebook and twitter. You guys have no idea what this means to a tiny, humble nation such as Honduras! It's beautiful :')

 

[Arnie]

Why? We played him when we could.

Then new managers came in with new ideas. Hodgson opted for Meireles, Kenny went for his British players like Adam and Henderson.

Now Spain have nothing to play for.

I really want to see Mata play in person

[PaulLFC]

Aquilani's agent, according to goal.com (lol)

"Aquilani is a Liverpool player," Zavaglia told Radio Sportiva. "He's fine there and will remain in England. We are not going back to the torment of last year. There is no basis for this operation [to Fiorentina].

"There was no offer from [Fiorentina sporting director] Daniele Prade, also because the figures involved do not allow Fiorentina to sign him.

"He has two years left on his contract so this time there is only the possibility of an outright sale, and nothing else.

"At the moment, there is now news, although from here on, everything could change. But at the moment his return to Italy seems difficult."

---

So it's Aqua's agent, via goal.com, vs the BBC. Who's right? Who knows...

Kean out Venkys out flag was being used at SJP today by some Rovers fans.

Anyway, fire Kean and hire Dalglish. You know you want him back.

Can Jack come back with him? And shearer? And it be 1995 again?

 

[Willkiller]

You're the sole reason why I hope Blackburn manage to get themselves out of the horrible mess they're in but no. You cannot go back in time and enjoy the wonders of Shearer. He's ours.

Think you need more than Jack Walker to buy a premier league title these days.

We can go back even further and he can be mine.

Shearer can be King Kenny's assistant manager.

Try and get Zidane again

Let me. Viva Honduras!!!

The fuck? We have this?

And thanks for the nice words guys. It's been an amazing day.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Try and get Zidane again

We didn't have to try, he wanted to sign but we decided against it because we band Tim Sherwood

Edit - in the same vein this girl in school used to ask me out but I wasn't interested as she was quite ugly, 2 years later when we were 16 she was an absolute stunner, still kick myself over that at times!

[Vivalaraza]

I know that piece in the Sunday Times isn't adding anything new to the situation, but it's frightening to hear it framed in such a way. I said it the other night, but I really don't know how United are going to get out of this if the IPO fails, which it looks likely to. The best alternative they can hope for is to be bought, in fact that appears the only alternative from where I'm sitting, which I'll admit isn't a position of absolute knowledge.

That's exactly what H & G did, and they pushed us to within 24 hours of administration. At this point United fans need to take action, seriously, the time for passivity is over, and just buying a scarf won't do.

The fans can't really do anything about it. They could just stop turning up to matches and never buy any merchandise but 1) That will never happen 2) If it did the Glazers would just tear the club apart in other ways.

At the end of the day you need to get the Glazers out and the fans can't do that. I'm not saying the fans should sit by and pretend everything is okay but unless they can find £2bn+ they are not going to be able to do anything.

The response to the Glazer ownership amongst the media and fans always amuses me. The situation was actually worse about 3/4 years ago when the PIK debt was still lumbered on the club. United were winning the league 3 times in a row and reaching back to back CL finals so we heard nothing of it..but the financial position was actually quite a bit worse back then.

It's still bad and we move increasingly closer to "d-day" but I'm pretty sure we'll hear nothing of it from the media or fans if United win the league next season. By and large the situation has been the same ever since the Glazers took over but the response to the debt fluctuates. I suppose that's just it though...can United win the league next season.

I very much doubt MUFC will go the way Liverpool did whilst the club remains in the top 4. It's easily meeting interest repayments and as long as it does the lenders will extend the deadline, it's free money for them and they still hold collateral against a highly valuable asset.

Only when the club fails to afford payments and drifts in consecutive losses will the banks swarm because them their asset begins to lose value. As I've said before the more likely and realistic damage to United is stagnation and so being left behind the competition. In that scenario the debt remains but so too do the Glazers. The tough choice that faces the Glazers today is that to keep their cash cow rich, they need to invest in it...but with money they don't have.

At the moment I think a sale is most likely down the line. Hicks and Gillet tried to hold on and eventually made a big loss themselves. I doubt the Glazers will do the same...the problem will be finding a buyer.

If Ferguson came out against the Glazers then something might happen. Kind of hypocritical that he says he puts the long term future of the club ahead of short term success, but he backs the Glazers when they are driving the club towards the abyss.

Well happy for you guys!

I get why Honduras is happy, but what I don't get is why Japan didn't get this sort of praise. Japan more than Honduras outplayed Spain even if their finishing wasn't on par.

Because Japan has more with which to compete against Spain than Honduras. Both were underdog victories, but Honduras was truly a cinderella story (lol Xavi).

Lo de España fue un fracasototototototote de todas formas.
