Apparently Mourinho favored Liverpool.
Mourinho knows what's up.
I'm sure Xabi and Arbeloa put in a good work too!

The second comment is fair. All the way through last season we heard 'It's a fluky start to the season' 'It won't last' 'As the season ends they'll trail off' 'Champions League contenders? Ridiculous' etc etc.
I know, but he's been a good player for us when fit. Before he got injured, he was captaining us when we won 3-1 against Inter. Now he can't beat Jenas into the starting XI. Jermaine fucking Jenas. I don't want him to end up like Alex and Anelka.

A Dave Whelan interview on SSN? Must be dreaming
I really like Huddlestone to be honest. He's a very much a luxury player though.
Kinda sad to see Jenas' career go the way it did. He had real potential.
I don't know, the season we finished 4th it was him and Modric in the middle most weeks, with Palacios coming in and out. He's still only 25, the last two wasted seasons really should have seen him develop.
Agreed. He used to be a fantastic box to box player. Now he has no mobility and all he does is turn 360 degrees before passing the ball sideways.
The MUTV guy says Kagawa in such a funny way. One of their fans suggested he was saying it how Shinji told him it was pronounced, but I can guarantee he is saying the first a quite wrong.

I look forward to the multiple pronunciations of Eden Hazard we will be treated to this season by English commentators and pundits.
You'd think it was said like we pronounce a hazard but I guess it's closer to "Huh-zard." Some people seem to say Eden similar to how Edin's first name is said as well but I'm not sure if that's accurate or not. I don't know much about Belgian pronunciations.
I always get a kick out of how some Brits pronounce Micah... more like the singer Mika than how Americans would say Micah.

I remember when John Motson for a couple of weeks started calling Paulo Wanchope "One Chop Ay".

Does anyone actually like listening to Motson? Should have been retired a decade ago. He's like the Carragher of the BBC

There's Flemish and French, pretty sure he's from the French speaking part so... How would they say it? I know we got some French people in here.

In this link you can hear Japanese commentators pronouncing his name - I assume they have it right. The English commentators on MUTV get the first part right, but not the second.
The syllables sound like they should be pronounced very quickly.
Edit - forgot the link!

Not at all, I agree he should have retired years ago. The guy is an arse.

'Azar' I'd imagine

Just wait until Paul Merson gets a Chelsea game on Soccer Saturday for confirmation on how not to pronounce it.

Fuck knows.
A JT if I've ever seen one
Fuck knows.
Fuck nose.
And Louie Spence too!
We just have to hope AVB fails with all these big signings.

Sky saying they have a major update on Modric's future to be announced at 5pm
Surprising percentage of LFC fans in London. I guess that (kinda) kills the joke about all United fans living in London.
I don't see that happening before January.

rightmove.com huh, interesting, wonder how they surveyed it.
There are loads of Liverpool fans in London, there are loads of Liverpool fans everywhere i've been. When I was in Manchester for university I met as many Mancs who were Liverpool fans as City fans. Not saying there are more Manc who support LFC than City, just my personal experience.

Only 15% City fans in Manchester?

There is a ginger lad outside on a scooter now with a Liverpool shirt on I give him dirty (not in the Wilbury way) looks whenever I can and not just coz he's ginger.
Modric to Madrid tomorrow £23.6m + add ons.

That's not £40m.

Any of you football fans here in the U.S know of beinTV ? I got up this morning to watch fox soccer and and noticed it had replaced GOLTV on channel 520. There was a countdown on there. A quick Google search takes me to their website and it looks like it if you're a football fan, you're in for a real treat. Ligue 1, Barca tv, La LIGA and Serie A mathes will all be broadcasting on there. Anyone know anythin about them ?
Is that confirmed? Wow :lol

What a deal for Madrid!
Obviously didn't want to sell to an English team.
