Schwarzenegger is the best thing about Batman & Robin. Not that that's saying much, if at all. Some of his lines are golden.

Uniteds IPO begins officially on 9th of August.

Early indications are that it will bomb spectacularly.

Looks like investors aren't interested in massively overpriced shares that offer no voting power.

Fuck YES! According to La Stampa, Juventus have bought the full ownership of Alberto Masi from Pro Vercelli.

Full ownership, but with an option to co-own the pen that was used to sign the contract with Pro Vercelli.

Haha just saw that too, Yurt. VERY excited about Masi. I reckon he has the potential to be a starting defender for Juve in the next 5 years. Amazing ability to read the ball even at 19yo. Good with the ball, too. Made some really decent passes. He's like the best parts of Bonucci and Barzagli combined.

He's good, but he's no Boakye.
Hopefully I won't have to fall out of love with Masi after two matches like with Richmond.

Both had some cracking games. Swansea v Arsenal was a real corker.

Do you think Lambert will do well at Villa? Is Collins and Dunne leaving?
Click to expand...

How come I'm never around when people want to talk Aston Villa :( I get ignored if I try.

Collins is gone, Dunne will probably stay. We're winning the league!!!! I really want Jean Il Markoun back though.

Have $100,000 in "certain assets at Fidelity" and at least $2,000 in cash for close margin call encounters (you will need it)? Then you too are eligible to participate in the next IPO collapse, coming on August 9th in the form of the Manchester United public offering, which is going to be such an epic disaster it not only has middle market junk bond specialist Jefferies as lead left, that it has already opened itself up to retail participation by all the sub-underwriters, and as of this morning such reputable brokers as Fidelity are seeking indications of interest. Which simply means there is absolutely no interest at the institutional level. The last time this happened? FaceBerg, which went from $43 to $21 in about a month.

From the horse's mouth:

Eligibility: Eligibility for participation in traditional IPOs led by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR) is reserved for brokerage customers with a minimum of $100,000 in certain assets at Fidelity. Other providers of traditional IPOs, and other equity public offerings made through Fidelity may be reserved for brokerage customers with a minimum of $100,000 or $500,000 in certain assets at Fidelity. Auction OpenIPOs and Secondary offerings made available through Fidelity are reserved for brokerage customers with a minimum of $100,000 in certain assets held at Fidelity. Members of Premium Services or customers who have placed 36 or more stock, fixed income, or option trades in a rolling 12-month period are eligible for either traditional or auction based offerings... Other assets may be included in the calculation at our discretion. In addition, an account in which an indication of interest is entered must have at least $2,000 in cash or fully paid securities.

Said otherwise, please make sure to have $2,000 in cash in your Fidelity account. Because that money will be promplty lost.

I get that about Bad Boys 2 and Fast Five
Click to expand...

Fucking loved Fast Five at the cinema, there were a few scenes with The Rock that had me and mates in stitches. The one where he throws the folder across the room, specifically. By far the funniest bit was when one of my mates, bless him, he isn't the brightest spark and when they were dragging the vault through the streets with their cars, he said,

"Fair smart idea that"

Nearly pissed myself.

Fast Five is one of the crowning cinematic achievements of our time. every line the Rock says in that movie is endlessly quotable.

Mancini wants RVP.
Marwood persuading him Higuain is a better buy.

What say GAF?
Click to expand...

Higuain is better: similar quality, younger, and less injury prone. But, doubt Real are selling... otherwise they'd be left with only one striker, and Mou loves his squad depth. plus, how many Argentinian strikers do City want anyways?!? Just buy RVP ffs. 25m fee, everyone's happy.

marwood is right. with balotelli and tevez already you want a new striker to be reliable and rvp's injury record makes that hard. plus age. plus your midfield is so good you don't necessarily need rvp's linkup play.

54 minutes and Ba will only be sold for 20m+ LOOOOOOOL To be fair I don't blame teams for not taking the punt (dat leg), even though he's been sharp in pre-season so far.

LET'S DO THIS - VILLA POWER HALF HOUR

Collins to West Ham makes sense. All he does is hoof the ball but fair play, he can get in the way of a shot. Vlaar, a more ball playing defender, will be a better suit for Lambert (and cheaper!)

Clark is going to start alongisde Vlaar. I think Clark is going to have a huge season.

I've been hearing a lot of Bannan playing alongside El Ahmadi. Would be very interesting to see for sure...

We still need a left back, winger and striker by my reckoning.

Maybe a little Serie B stint would've been better, but a few Coppa games and training under Conte with Chiellini, Barzagli and LuLcio* ain't so bad either!

*Debatable.

No thanks. We don't buy anyone from the premier league. IT'S OUR NEW POLICY.

Alan Hutton is in talks with Stoke on a £3m move apparently. Farewell to him too. I don't think Warnock has long left either.

We're going to have a completely new back line next season.

You can't say goodbye to someone who never arrived.

It's your own fault for getting yourself into a state where you believed being friends with a player was more important than agreeing a fee.
