What's up with people using the c-word out of the blue? Is that allowed again?
You old fella. I'm from '91, so I wasn't that in to football during the nineties
Makes me feel old knowing I used to watch Le Tissier run wild on other teams in the 90s.

Our family is one of the only ones we know that haven't been burgled, makes me a bit wary. I'll sit playing the Playstation with the back door open at night so the dog can go in and out when she pleases but I'll sit with a giant bread knife next to me haha
Ready to shiv anyone trying to steal my Manchester United underpants
Worth looking into the Le God youtube rabbit hole

I've still got alot of the kits featured in the video in the loft somewhere.
I leave my car on the drive whenever I'm at Uni so I'd like to think that acts as a bit of a deterrent against burglars but yeah, if I ever hear a car stop outside in the middle of the night I get a bit wary.
It's usually the milk man though.
My house has been burgled twice.
It's a pretty bad feeling. Fortunately most burglars are dumb and take lower value stuff than what is right in front of them.
Also came home from work one night to find some guy climbing over my side fence. I restrained him, called the police and they pretty much let him go free.

Hahah, what the hell was he thinking with the first goal. I remember his name from PES or something. What an international star he would've been if he'd have left Southampton. World class.

Japan is up 1-0 vs Venezuela.
Endo Scored

Nothing worse than that happening.
When the guys who'd planned to kidnap part of my family arrived to do it, we'd the police waiting inside the house instead of us and they were arrested. Now the police had been watching them for a few weeks, had gathered intel and other various bits and bobs but the boys were still let free somehow, baffles me.
like i said, always the bloody milk man
Yeah, still. Those goals and tricks are still fucking awesome.
He reportedly tore up contracts that he signed for Spurs and Chelsea.
I also remember saving this bit of his auto biography.
"The first came a couple of years later when Jerome rang and said one of the biggest clubs in Europe was in for me. He didnt want to tell me about it over the phone so I had to drive up to London to meet him in a hotel. I went up thinking it might be Real Madrid or Barcelona but it turned out to be Liverpool."
You're really selling this autobiography to me.
Its amazing as a Saints fan, it gives alot of insight into the club during some trying times. Including how we missed out on a young Adebayor because Rupert Lowe was too tight on wages.
Might be worth it as a general football fan though. (Warning it mentions the 6-3 and the Grey Shirts Saints vs United games)
That Grey Shirts game has been mentioned in pretty much any United related autobiography I've read. It was a genuine problem!

Koné goes to Wigan after perfoming the best season Levante had in its history.
He was owned by Sevilla and loaned to Levante last summer IIRC.
He made near 20 goals.
Awesome striker.

I still think City are very keen on RVP. I don't believe a word of what Mancini was saying. Right now I'd imagine that United are closer to signing him than City but Arsenals desire not to sell to us and Uniteds lack on financial oomph will continue this saga.
This is beginning to look a lot like the Sneijder deal. The media saying that the player wants to come to United and that a fee/personal terms have been agreed. And that ended very badly for us.

Even Wigan have made signings.
Newcastle going to get relegated again :'(
Nah I used to watch it in the 90s when I was a kid. Then I stopped around the time Ruud Gullit was sacked lol.
The 4-3 at Anfield killed our title hopes pretty much
Highlight of the 90s was beating Hamchester 5-0 and then they lost 6-2 to South Hampton.
So much ham.
they still won the PL
I thought you only got into football the last couple years?
Robbie Fowler helped me through the 90s. Highlight for me was both Newcastle Liverpool 4-3s

Twitter seems to think Mourinho is pushing Sahin towards Liverpool over Arsenal. This is the worst.
West Ham are making some really good signings.

I haven't got a fucking clue why we're not in for him. Not a fucking clue.
West Ham will comfortably stay up.

What player wouldn't want to go to Barcelona? Ronaldo probably secretly envisages it as well. Even 'Arsenal man' Henry couldn't say no to Barca. Song is on a contract. If he hands in a transfer request, stick him in the reserves until that contract ends. I would be the people's coach; no nonsense kinda bloke

It'll be because it's just a loan option I think (I hope?).
We wouldn't go for that. And as great as Sahin is, or was, I can see why. There's no point in loaning him in for a season only for him to go back to Madrid and have him stop Cleverley getting minutes. Long term it makes no sense for us. With our squad and position in the table, we shouldn't really be looking at loan deals.

Surprised Jordan Rhodes is still at Huddersfield, thought a bigger team would be in for him by now (excluding chickenburn)
I understand that but I'd rather spend the 20m put away for RVP and make that an opening bid, because I think Madrid would be tempted.
He shouldn't be taking minutes from Clev, he should be taking them from Scholes. I get we don't want loan deals though. Just frustrating.
I'd love to have Sahin at United but I agree with Viva. There is just no point in taking him on loan. I can also see United objecting to the buy back clause that Madrid reportedly want if they sell Sahin. Why should they develop a player only to see another club swoop in for him?
It's understandable for players to want to play for Barcelona, Considering what that would mean but its incredibly frustrating to read things like that. Many of the biggest players in the country may want a move to Barcelona but you wouldn't hear it in public.

I agree i'd like to see us bid for him, but we have no idea if Madrid are open to that or not. They probably aren't.
In general I obv agree with you though, if we sign RVP we will have signed DDG, Jones, Young, Kagawa and RVP over the last 2 summers - all players I'm happy we have...but still no CM. Kinda crazy.

I wanted Sahin.I wonder if we are in for anyone else, Apparently Everton are in for Mirallas.
"The draw for Round 2 of the Capital One Cup will take place on Wednesday 15th August, at approximately 12.30pm, live on Sky Sports News."
SSN being the tabloid channel they are focusing on Kevin Pietersen being a little berk.
This is where co-ownership makes sense in Italy.
You guys still co-own Krasic?
