Valencia is pretty much the biggest one trick pony I've seen. It's still jaw dropping that the whole world found him out at the same time, though.

The whole world except for Liverpool.

It's sad really. It worked really well for a while but now he looks lost all the time. Still shows what you can do just sticking to a tactic that suits a player for a while. Kind of like what you do when you play FM with a lower league team.
It could still work, he's just lost his confidence.

No doubt people have learnt to defend against him but his biggest problem last season was that he didn't even try to take players on, something he was doing regularly the season before.
 
Okay, so you're saying the bid for Fabregas is the first time United have basically "set-up" a transfer story so that we get positive press/buy season tickets?

Yes. I don't necessarily believe it's to sell season tickets, but I do believe that the Glazers are fully aware that that United fans are becoming increasingly pissed off with the downgrade of our squad since 2009 and the lack of money spent since they took over the north west club.

I still think it's entirely possible that we will sign no first team players this summer and we'll come out with some tired excuse about our targets not being available.

Pro tip: You make your targets available by bidding the going rate and not twenty five fucking million pounds. Internet fanboys are clued up on the money. Your typical football fan doesn't have a clue about transfer fees. £25 -> £35m actually looks like United tried to them.

I dunno if it was just confidence. The way that he just paused halfway into the opposition half every time seemed like there was something else that he was trying to do that never came off. Not sure if he was supposed to switch play or cross early or be waiting for Rafael but it looked like we'd realised his playing it past people in the exact same way each time wasn't working but he couldn't do anything else so just faltered.

You might be right though but can't see why his confidence would've fallen after the great season he had.

Finished the first day of the bar exam (of three), exhausted as shit, driving from Albany to Atlantic City. I go on the interwebs, hoping to see us sign Ljajic or Honda, what do I see?

We signed fucking Silvestre from Inturd.

I'm hoping he revives his Palermo/Catania form.

Valencia's issue is a mental one, not everyone in the world finding him out at the same time.

My diagnosis is that he's realised he's a one trick pony so he's attempting to adapt his game to become more multifaceted, but his brain doesn't work quickly enough so he just stands there thinking about what to do for 3 seconds.

Him standing there doing nothing is an entirely new thing. He didn't do that in 11/12. If he actually continued to play like he did in 11/12, he'd still be fucking amazing.

Aspas has never played RW, not even in pre-season.
 
Premier Ass is missing from that list. Mou said he sees him more as a right back than centerback (which also explains still looking for another CB), he's clearly better than Asspergerleta there.

I had that quote in my head but I had it the other way round, thought Mou said Ass is CB not RB. Hmm. Ass goes ahead of Johnson.

I don't even know where to start

And I don't see why you included Liverpool but not Everton who have been better than them for the last 2 seasons.

Arsenal had the second best defensive record (and the best away iirc) in the league after City. Bit odd to overlook that, Wilbur.

Nah. He also said Luiz isn't a midfielder, luckily.

"For me, Luiz is a central defender. He can help the team playing in another position but he’s a central defender, no doubt about it. I know Ivanovic is very comfortable in the center but I see him and Cesar Azpilicueta as our two right backs. Our defensive group will be good."

Of more concern is that he seems really into playing Mata on the right wing...

Wilbur should stop making lists for the sake of this forum.
He lists everything.

He's one of those people who lists verses in songs.

Oh the 1st verse is good but fuck the 2nd verse the song just gets incredible it's a shame the third verse couldn't maintain the high standard.

Now imagine that over an entire album.

Like what the hell.

i was watching that unrated blurred lines video not too long and suddenly realized that the last time i rubbed one out to a music video must've been years ago.
 
I would barrage you with NSFW gifs if I could.

Know that.

What's so good about the video?

It's stupid. There's one good looking girl. She's dancing around nakie like an idiot. Those 3 clowns look like even bigger idiots, Pharrel is normally cool but not in that video. Then there's that shitty text all over the place.

And to top it off the shit song is playing.

I like looking at the tits before i realise i can go on pornhub and watch tits bounce when dick is in puss so i close the video
 
Valencia is tweeting bare pics of him with Chucho Benitez. Apparently he has requested leave so that he can go to the funeral. Seems they were close.

Also Nani says he will be at his best in a week. Yes now Nani Wigan are gonna get it.

Beeg only has short videos, mostly. Incredibly well designed though.

I'd listen to the crazy frog while watching her dance around naked.

She is angelic.

I don't dislike United or its fans, but a mid table finish in this first year without Ferguson would be amazing just to see the shift in behavior by a confused United-Gaf. Not enough popcorn in the world.
