Saw this on twitter. Olympic Opening Ceremony looks pretty awesome. I'll link it in case you don't want to be spoiled.

What would you do if he ended up at United? Just saying since Juventus has offered the least amount of money to Arsenal and United has offered more and it says lots about City when RVP has already excluded them.
I'd love to have him at United. A front two of RVP and Rooney will silence all the United haters saying that United is going downhill compared to City.
United still make profits every year, provided they do well in the league and make it to the knockout stages of the CL. Last year there was a profit of £8m even though £40m had already been lost to pay back debt interest. If there was no debt United would have made £48m profit.
United need to buy players to keep up this high level performance. The results for last season won't be very good though. We were knocked out of the CL in the group stages so we missed out on additional matchday and television revenue. This is a bad thing for the club as poor financial results could easily lessen interest in the club from potential investors.
I'd say 'Bring it United, come get this title if you want it'.
Yurt has made me aware of Dzeko on Twitter! Looks like he's off to Milan.
Its quite sad to see a club of United stature be in this state. I don't know how the Glazers would think for a second that investors would be interested at all considering the lack of any kind of value in those shares.
That's more like it. And with Chelsea also spending like there's no tomorrow, this PL season will surely be something to behold.

Confirmed?
Fucking hell. Makes me a little sick in the stomach, it honestly does.
That looks great, after the 2008 opening I was worried ours might be underwhelming but after reading a few leaks I can't wait to see it on Friday.
I can understand why you think that. If he goes to City you can blame it on financial issues, if he goes to United it confirms that Arsenal are no longer our rivals.
Or he could just go to Juve.
No.
1-"Still not 100% fit, thats why im not travelling to China with the team.."
2-"Dinner time.. mmmmmmm
"
RED AND BLACK!
I'm just trying to scare dc btw
Yup.. Really can't imagine United's profits without these debt interests bagging the club down. And yet it makes you appreciate how amazing Fergie is always being able to get United to challenge for the title.

Well, if it wasn't for the IPO back in the day (around 1990?), Utd. wouldn't be what it is today, so you reap what you sow (or something along those lines).
Of course it's sad that the FA didn't implement rules against complete takeovers like we did in Germany.
NK incident: great
It gives me a boner.
If Uniteds financial troubles continue and we start losing key players, I reckon Liverpool will overtake us in about 15 years.
What makes me sick is you just know they're eating lobster for dinner tonight, with champagne and sleeping oh-so well on £4k sheets. Yet the reality is they're doing it all on credit. I know there's a large operating window - high and low - with the kind of businesses they're involved in, but using the club to prop up their portfolio is clearly going to rub the supporters the wrong way.

No. Any good?
Which?
Bet it looks naughty in your little Warrior thong
Yep. Can't see us being a force when Fergie's gone for a while to be honest. Christ, we're going to be Liverpool

I don't get what the Glazers are doing really. I've not delved into the numbers much but...
Sell 49% of voting shares for £700m or so. Pay the debt, pocket the rest (probably about 50-60% of what they invested anyway) and they are sitting on a £700m value shares making them £500m+ profit for doing next to nothing.
Or have they put much more than that in?
Hmm, I thought all they now owed was the bonds that were issued.
That explains it a bit more if that is true. I also thought the bond debt wsa closer to £500m.
No fucking way Hahahaha where
If it's under 8.5M, we're not interested.

Those pictures are shit.
I think the transfer offer was met, seems like its up to Melo to agree to a 3+1+1 year contract.
Salt in my wounds.

I don't care about celebrity relationships. I care about titties.
Fucking knew it, explains that £500m borrowed in the IPO document.

Yo aplaudo el hecho de que un jugador se sienta orgulloso de estar con su equipo aunque sea de media tabla.
oh wait, Málaga?
lol $$$$$
LFC team v Roma:
Gulacsi, McLaughlin, Skrtel, Carragher, Enrique, Spearing, Shelvey, Aquilani, Cole, Eccleston, Sterling
Subs:
Jones, Agger, Flanagan, Adam, Suso, Morgan, Pacheco, Sama, Wilson, Lucas, Adorjan, Ward, Smith, Wisdom, Ibe
Bit too soon for the Euro players it seems. I imagine our team for the Europa league game in 8 days time might not be too dissimiar to our starting XI tonight.

Yep, there's a normal one. Think Wilbury had the code

I'm afraid to pm him. He'll probably ask me to stash some photos of "his" kids on my hard drive.
pretty sure Cazorla's twitter always read that. maybe not in all caps, but still.
edit: also, with all the midfielders Chelsea are stockpiling, can't possibly see a place for Benayoun in the side this season. Wouldn't mind taking him on loan again next season... he'll provide some quality midfield coverage on the cheap.
I'm in denial. Hope the Malaga owner keeps withholding wage money to speed this transfer right along

Roma: Lobonț, Rosi, Castan, Burdisso, Dodô, Bradley, Tachtsidis, Pjanić, Lamela, Bojan Krkić, Totti.
That's mostly their XI, minus De Rossi and Stekelenburg.
C'mon Liverpool, don't lose to Roma.
