I think you guys forget I've supported City since before I can remember - my first memory of going to a game I was 5 or 6. I'm 23 now, of course I know. We've not been rich for long.

Wow! Best part was Lucas running at full pelt with epic music in the background.
If you were skint, and a lottery winner told you they knew how it felt -
Not that Newcastle are in a remotely troubling position. I dunno why Kyoufu panics.
Was it Liverpool who played a Malaysia XI last summer? Or Chelsea? Whoever it was it was hilarious, Malaysia scored multiple times. I'll be watching the Arsenal game today.
Probably a domestic league all star team. Chelsea played them last year.
edit - our game last against them was a dreadful 1-0. I think its the one with the Drogba FK that never crossed the line lol

Yes. Manchester City will also play a match against Malaysia next Monday.
All-star team that is.
Here's last year's friendly
Newcastle aren't skint! They won't go drop £30m on a player, but they make up for that with a brilliant scouting network. No need to panic.
Guys, how is the Spanish banking crisis going to affect Barca and Madrid if at all?

Hamburg and Barca signed a contract that Messi will play because it's their Birthday match and they didn't want to play against Barca B. Today Messi's "injured" if you know what I mean and HSV wants to sue them. I hope they do so.
In better news, Kuba signed a new contract until 2016. Now, we just need to give Subotic a new contract and make Lewandowski get himself a new agent and everything looks fucking fantastic.

Hah, Trabzonspor those assholes apparently ended up not getting N'Doye, Lokomotiv Moscow overbid them. 7 mil euros is not half bad for a player with a year left of his contract, now we better invest the money in a new central midfielder and defender.

I don't think you were wrong to post it. Just with the way people react to anything batty, it showed some cajones. Honestly, it you've been completely in the dark, then that picture has just about zero meaning.
It's the fact that we haven't signed Debuchy yet. He's not even a 30 million pound signing. He costs what, 6 million? Come the fuck on Ashley. Pay it up.

I regret nothing.
Since they are some of the most highly valued (with the highest revenue) teams in the world, and the two biggest teams in Spain (who get the majority of the television rights), they aren't going to be very affected. Also, Madrid have actually lowered their debt within the past few years. Barca, on the other hand, has actually increased their debt (I think it is at least twice as much as Madrid's current debt).
Florentino is still actively planning to renovate the Bernabeu, despite the banking crisis.
Even Valencia, who have been in serious debt for a while, just recently made a deal by selling property to continue construction on their new stadium. I also remember a report from a while back (I think I read it in El Pais), that if the banking crisis becomes too serious, there might be an option to forgive all football debt.

See you soon, duders.
I just read it too
He played fantastic in the second leg of the last season. But he's been pretty inconsistent since he joined Dortmund. So I hope we'll see more of the 2012 Kuba.Götze, Reus, Kuba, Großkreutz, Perisic plus Bittencourt and Amini. That attacking midfield is shaping up nicely.

Cheers guys. Well I wanted to do Computer Science, but due to how I got in they wouldn't offer me it. So I'm doing Computing and Information Technology. This course shares the same first year modules as Computer Science and I have the option to switch to CS after the first year if I can pass an additional maths test. Which I hope to do.

Yes it was. I went last night. Loved it.
Best one, in my opinion. Made me retroactively prefer BB to TDK, too.
Going to shave my head, buy a respirator, and get a fur lined trench coat.

Ah, I was there for that one. Was nearly squashed to death on the way home due to the brilliant infrastructure.

WoodenLung, can I have your team name? Cheers
Probably wouldn't stand out much in Sheffield to be fair.

Yep. 20 in the 'league', with 13 paid and with codes.
If anyone's paid but hasn't got the code, tell me
duhhhh
I can be an idiot sometimes. Ok then, while we have 24 minutes left, here's something for football playing GAF:
I'm going to be playing 11-a-side for the first time in 3 years this season and really need to get my fitness to an acceptable level before September time. Anyone got any tips because at the moment, I'm not exactly at my peak.
They were discussing it on the radio earlier today. It's unclear at this point. Apparently the ECB is pressing the spanish banks to get the money they are owed back as soon as possible. There were some numbers thrown around, but I wasn't paying much attention. Real Madrid owe money, but not too much compared with their turnover. The same could be said for Barca. They are nothing like City, PSG, Chealsea and the like. Real's bank, Bankia, is in serious trouble though. If it were to fail, that certainly wouldn't bode well for Real's players.
