L. Bender is kind of like Lucas Leiva, but more versatile & less injury prone.
Although some his passes are ace, he's definitely not someone who could do major playmaking, but Kagawa/Rooney/RvP can when they drop, so you'd still be fine even with straight up DM at his side. This is how we played post-Sahin/pre-Gündogan (with S. Bender/Kehl in DM).
The playmaking efforts were delegated to a dropping Kagawa and Hummels.

Barca and Madrid too, but both are mainly because of injuries. Don't know how we didn't concede against Rayo, missing Masch + 4 defending starters lol.

That's the type of player we need. We have more than enough creative and attacking options from elsewhere. I mean I think we will need to sign a good play making CM before long too but for now a solid defensive midfielder is more important.
I haven't really seen much of Lars Bender - but he's German so he's bound to be decent at least!

:lol guys Feep did a dramatic reading(same as the Wilbury scripts here) of the OP in this thread(Accidentally power-bombed my girl into a table during sex) It's fantastic.
Here is the reading

I think I remember reading that he is a pro voice actor though so that's cheating I guess.

Yeah & Bayern wanted him too when the Martinez transfer started to drag on, so there's your seal of approval (of sorts)
Götze did this yesterday:

Marco Van Basten is 48 years old today. One of the best players to ever grace our shirt, who also had to retire early (at 30) due to his fragile body. He's one of the most important players of the Berlusconi-era, among Baresi, Maldini, Shevchenko, Kakà, Gullit, Rijkaard, and won everything with Milan, multiple times. Plus, he's one of the few players to have won three Balon d'Or. Happy birthday cigno!

Happy Birthday to that legend, I hate reading about his early retirement. Apparently he was injured from when he was 28 until he was 30, which means he pretty much retired at 28.
V. Basten..Robben....Sneijder..RVP...VDV
what the hell is up with us dutchies? We're so fragile =(

Yeah. Afellay too, spent 2 years at Barca and literally 3/4th of the time he was injured lol.

True.
His "last" goal with our shirt, during Albertini's last match, in 2006 (11 years after his retirement): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwRBTpsSUos So much class, he's incredible.
Hmm well he was never injured when he was at PSV though =P
Betting on Juve tonight is risky, here's why:
Reason #1: We played four games in midweek so far this season and drawn all of them.
Reason #2: No Vidal and Marchisio.
Reason #3: Juventus probable: Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Barzagli; Isla, Giaccherini (Padoin), Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah; Quagliarella, Bendtner
Our only draw in the league came thanks to this midfield. Giaccherini won't cut it there, he should switch places with Asamoah.
Betting on Roma is risky, here's why:
Reason #1: Amauri.
Reason #2: Zeman. Roma, leading 2-1 against Udinese, lined up like this the other day:
Reason #3: The worst defense in Serie A
Happy birthday to the one and only MVB.

Yeah, don't bet on Roma guys.
Also Juve-Inter this weekend, hmm. Inter looking good away but theoretically Juve should win. Fucking Merda.
We will always have our love of penises to fight through the troubles.

I'm getting both!
Wouldn't have conceded 5 if he played yesterday
12 - No team in the Premier League or Football League has won more penalties than Manchester United in the last year (from Nov 1st)
Time for an investigation.
Evra permanently setting up camp in the opposition box has some sort of impact on something other than my sphincter, I suppose.
Didn't know they now allow men and women to participate in the same game.
Morgan though <3
Neither.
Halo is the better game though.

Mino Raiola “The Ballon d’Or is only important if Zlatan wins. If not, then it will only reinforce the idea that this is a politically corrupt prize.”
Really glad I ordered black after looking at The Verge's review. Looks really good.
Who'se tattoo is the leg break one? Ryan Shawcross'?
And more!
He [Platini] criticises PSG and their wages instead of accepting the fact that his own sport is progressing with great talent, big stars and big investors, who would generate yet more wealth and power in general.
He is one of those who want the big investors to move away from football. What is the difference with the sponsors of the Champions League then? It just shows how incompetent he is. Michel Platini has never done something important for football.
My last message to Platini, the mob boss: stop criticising my players and go to hell.

I think I saw on that chart of teams' prices, there was a bit about a tea and pie. Is this one of those British things where pie means something else? Like some pizza or something? Or do you guys really buy a slice of pie at football matches?

Its been a staple on terraces for generations, they are actually eaten yes... although hot dogs, pasties, sausage rolls, muffins and coffee have all crept in more recently - I expect the old footy match pie might not be as popular as it once was. And you can only have a beer if you cower indoors these days. Which is understandable, but often sucks. You can spend more than the half time interval in queues for this shit if you're not careful, I try to avoid it.

Pie over here has meat in it. Steak & kidney/mince meat/chicken etc.

Yeah, they send beer vendors around at American sporting events.. they go up and down the stairs and you can buy from them that way. I'm not a beer fan and they're too expensive so I never buy them. I mostly go to UT (college) football where they don't sell any alcohol since it's on campus.
That's still pretty funny! Just burgers, hot dogs, pizza, nachos, etc. here in the US for the most part -- bar food essentially. We call those kinds of pies "pot pies" in America. It's usually chicken or turkey in them.

John Le Carre's prose is the worst I've ever read. Don't think I can be bothered with The Honourable Schoolboy

Do you not think that sometimes this is symptomatic of watching a film many years after it came out? The thinking being that you've probably seen films that came out later that were influenced by it.

The op may have a point but he has gone about it in a weird way and without proof he's walking a tightrope
The best one was when he admitted to drink driving then tried to brush it away by going all power mad
Edited for accuracy
Well I must have seen a ton of gangster movies before Godfather, a ton of horror movies before The Shining, a ton of action before Die Hard but they still feel unique in their execution. Shawshank doesn't. I don't really think it has an identity behind it.
You've not read Terry Goodkind, then.
Hope we play a young side. Prefer to see Henriquez, Powell, Lingard etc than to stuff Chelsea.
