OH MY GOD ROCK FINALLY

I'm currently watching Casino Royale, Yeeah, I'm out of ideas. Recommendations on twitter are appreciated!

To stay on topic: After watching our highlights with Benfica a few minutes ago, I love you Giovinco <3 Matri was so utterly shit.

It is every man's duty to listen to:

The Number of The Best
Powerslave
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

All the way through. Anyone who says they don't like Iron Maiden without doing so is a fool of a took in my opinion.

Best live band on the planet by a long way too.

Am I late in posting the link to the United IPO roadshow presentation?

Watched this earlier, 40 mins of uninspirational bollocks. Couple of interesting tid bits though.

You seem to be taking more of an interest in this IPO than the United fans are.

Most of us are just sick of the Glazers at this point.

I always just post a follow up a few minutes later. Film recommendations? Bad Boys II on repeat for the rest of eternity. Glorious.

Also I love playing as Giovinco on FIFA, so I hope he does well.

@DuckerTheTimes: In video #MUFC COO M. Bolingbroke says they're anticipating a £40m "net expenditure" this summer but that could mean ... CONTD

@DuckerTheTimes: another £40m could still be spent as £15m downpayments on Kagawa and Powell are on course to be offset through sales, loan fees&compensation

@DuckerTheTimes: especially if Berbatov - who QPR want - goes and brings in another £5m ish. Hope all that made sense #MUFC

Because he wanted to come to Juve, because we was so good at the beginning and because he never said a mean word against Conte / Juve. A true professional. It wasn't meant to be, but I wish him all the best.

Now, I'm not a HUGE fan of Susy Campanale. But she wrote a pretty dead on article about this whole betting scandal shit, Conte's place in the scandal, and how Italian sporting justice is broken.

To anyone wanting a quick summary of the evidence against Conte, I give you these two paragraphs:

The evidence against Conte is simple &#8211; former Siena player Filippo Carobbio claims the Coach said in a team meeting that results were &#8216;secured&#8217; against Albinoleffe and Novara during the 2010-11 Serie B campaign. That is the entirety of the evidence. One man&#8217;s word. This man who had already been caught in contact with betting syndicates and confessed with the promise of bringing bigger names to the prosecutor in exchange for a large discount on his own punishment.
Click to expand...

The Italian approach to justice seems to consider you guilty until you can prove your innocence, which is somewhat difficult when it&#8217;s one man&#8217;s word against another.

Except in Conte&#8217;s case, it is one man&#8217;s word against 24 others. The other players who were in that Siena team meeting all testified that the Coach never mentioned or alluded to &#8216;fixed&#8217; results. Their testimony has been discarded by the prosecutor. As Conte is charged with failing to alert authorities to something untoward, then either he is innocent or the other 23 players are lying and should also be charged. The fact those ex-Siena men have not been charged just makes the whole thing look completely meaningless.

Yep. And Conte might get some... 17months for this?

You should replace the 50m in your avatar with "NUFC" crossed out.

Heh, some sites/fan blogs still holding out that Debuchy to Newcastle isn't 100% providing Newcastle return with an even higher bid. I reckon we only offered like 5.5/6m but Lille want 8m.

We offered 6 million Euros (they want 8 million Euros) with a 2 million Euro sell on fee if we sell him.

It's not over until the fat lady sings but I can see Ashley walking away unfortunately.

Pretty much why I rarely play my PS3. No point even logging online for me, I'll use it as a blu-ray/singleplayer machine.

No, that's cocks out.

You don't want to spend that kind of money on this Moura kid when there are other holes in your squad. Spend the £40 million on a class midfielder, like Fellaini, and a class left back, like Baines, and let Kenwright have a little party on your expense.

Guess it's time to welcome Gregory Van Der Wiel. Apparently he was actually offered to us. :lol Probably bullshit but he's a target nonetheless. Cabaye will probably call him Not-Mathieu for his entire Newcastle career if he joined.

You have no idea how people could dislike Oasis? Really?

Ludicrous. I fucking think Dylan is the greatest musician of all time, but I could certainly understand why people might not like him. But you can't see how people might not like Oasis, that's just utterly mental.
Click to expand...

Honestly no clue. I don't see how someone could put on Morning Glory or The Masterplan and not think hot damn, essentially every single one of these songs is fucking AMAZING! I feel the same about Definitely Maybe but some of the sound is a bit rawer which may not work for some folks. Dig Out Your Soul is insanely underrated as well, FWIW.

It's very easy to see why someone wouldn't like Dylan. The guy sounds like shit. That's not a very good example to use in this discussion. :lol
