Hargreaves' voice isn't right for commentary, it's monotone, too dull.

Same with Neville.

Hargreaves' voice sounds like mine, with the weird trans-Atlantic thing going on.

Most Mancunians have that nasal, monotone voice, and regardless of what they're actually saying, the voice just doesn't lend itself well to commentary. I've been watching the Ashes and Michael Atherton has the same issue, even though he's the most insightful of the bunch.

I just block it out after a while and I realised that some of the best commentary comes from these sort of people who might initially turn you off because of how they sound, as opposed to the same old tired fools who just splurt out shit banter and 'school boy' insight.

This is why I'm looking forward to Carragher on Sky. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard, but I'm sure he will be more insightful than any of the other usual suspects.

just came home, how's the Bayern-City game?

Bring back WIlkins. My word, stay on your feet young man.

Diego Costa vs Ramos and Pepe
Costa throws snot at Ramos on multiple occasions.

:loooooooooooooool!! I want to see him in the PL. What a wind up merchant.

 

[bjaelke]

Fuck :/

You also had Jonjo as first goal scorer?

Oh my word, I want this man to play with Suarez.

Why do I have this feeling that you defend United more than Liverpool?

Spoiler

kidding <3, Utd gaf are good!

Because:

A) Man Utd and their fans are the absolute class in this thread.

B) Hitcher can't upset me since he's my not-so-secret admirer.

 

[justjohn]

Bony looks quite inimpressive so far

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Why on earth would you employ Owen as a pundit?

He doesn't care about football
He's boring
He has no insight
None of his former fans like him

Save money. Get a football and horse racing "pundit" in one.

Guardian are reporting that Costa story now. Their bid meets his buyout clause apparently.

Suarez to Arsenal back on?

 

[Turok_TTZ]

Finally Florentino's Ancelotti plan is bearing fruit. Should rename our arena to Gentlemen Arena.

Bale being crap? Benz (or was it Higuain? :lol) having the talent to become more influential than CR7? Come on bro, you've said some crazy things as well. We all share but also have different views from each other

Spoiler

yours being the most absurd ones

. No need to shit all over each other (a special sport reserved for United fools) because we don't agree.

You've made some very good points I hadn't thought about which changed my perspective but so have PantyPhantom, pulga and other Madrid-GAF members. Discussing, exchange opinions and ideas are what we are for here. Comparing ourselves with each other in how much we claim we love he club or how much better fan you are compared to pulga or me or whatever isn't going to bring us closer to Perez's strip stage.

The only thing all of us can agree on (something even all non-Madrid ppl and Madrid-hating cunts agree on as well) is that Benz is shit.

Apparently I have not made enough good points if you still think Benz is shit. Benzema is not shit. He is perfect for us and is all we need alongside Morata and Jese.
Though now I fear for Jese's future with Bale incoming.
Benzema I know, is under appreciated. Score 20 assist 20 last season and just last game he scored a great goal against PSG. I've been defending benz in more than one forum now. I am very, very tired.

I will take my leave for today.

Well deserved

In a serious tone, Bayern are dominating City, it's a bit boring though. City have had some chances owing to mostly to Jovetic's ability to weave through Bayern's defence.

Replace a world class cunt with an average cunt, and strengthen a team we hope to compete with in the near future

Pls no

Pls

B-Rod...

no

Nothing deserves to be outsold by it's predecessor. Not like this anyway.

For a minute my brain thought that was Wii U numbers vs Wii numbers comparing both at their launch.

It just needs more games, Wind Waker HD and 3D World could change things.

 

[The Atticus]

I love Jovetic so much.
I hope he becomes a pivotal figure for City.
Even though it is City.

Suarez to Arsenal back on?

There's more chance of Fabregas coming to United than there is so Suarez going to Arsenal.

 

[Mr Cola]

Navas on for Jovetic

 

[Fergie]

Navas and Yaya on it seems.

Should have kept on Jovetic.

 

[LTWheels]

One cunt is not enough for Liverpool. We need two.

 

[Xhenxhefil]

To me, this doesn't mean anything for Suarez. We were prepared to pay a similar price for McTerry-Ann, weren't we? Relax. Brendan's inner Heel has been awoken. We're building the ultimate team of despicable assholes. Get this done, we'll probably get an LB in seeing as Jack Robinson's gone on loan for the season, then maybe a CB and that's a great window for us.

thanks. Now I am unsure if I should watch the second half

We can never forget the infamous Fowler McManaman years

 

[Meier]

Navas on for Jovetic

Bummer, seems he offered basically every bright spot in the first half. Ahh well, baby steps I suppose.

 

[Salvadora]

You don't seriously believe that do you? Thought you were level headed Viv.

 

[Slizz]

Navas will be the bright spot in the second half if previous performances are any indication.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Seriously.

Suarez won't be sold to Arsenall. Not even if you bid £50m.

 

[K1LLER7]

Nasri pls.

Clichy with a nice ball.

 

[Yen]

Says a lot about that era of Liverpool when they were the 'good' guys of the team.

Seriously.

Suarez won't be sold to Liverpool. Not even if you bid £50m.

But will he be sold to Arsenal?

 

[Mr Cola]

I dont know what City fans make of Nasri but I cant help but feel he is a disappointment as a player

 

[TrueBlue]

I'm not convinced personally‚ but at least they're a steady stream of releases for the rest of the year.

martinez needs to be back in the midfield with Schweinsteiger. seems lost back there

Looks better to me. They have pretty much everything ESPN had, plus more of some things. More PL games, more Bundesliga/Ligue 1/Serie A, more UFC. Fine by me.

 

[K1LLER7]

Okay Navas is going in my FL team.

Jovetic can wait.

 

[Salvadora]

Seriously.

Suarez won't be sold to Liverpool. Not even if you bid £50m.

I'm surprised at you.

Cesc is a player who doesn't want to leave and the club doesn't want him to either, along with United making non-serious bids. Theres a much bigger chance of Suarez leaving than Cesc. Suarez leaving is still unlikely, mind.

 

[Walshy]

So is Diego Costa any good?

 

[Mr Cola]

Looks better to me. They have pretty much everything ESPN had, plus more of some things. More PL games, more Bundesliga/Ligue 1/Serie A, more UFC. Fine by me.

Coverage referring to the way they present the football, not the quantity

 

[sohois]

"Liverpool's move for Costa has no bearing on the future of Luis Suarez. Position on that unchanged. No new bids."
