[Baconsaurus Rex]

Van Gaal denies he has made a deal with United and is very annoyed by the press spewing lies. Writing he already has appointed his assistants and the whole shabang. Bla bla bla.

'Er zijn meerdere clubs met interesse in Louis van Gaal , we zullen zien welke keuze ik maak en welke keuze die clubs gaan maken', vervolgde de keuzeheer van Oranje op voor hem typerende wijze. 'Het is een proces, zo gaat dat bij alle clubs. En verder kan ik over dat proces op dit moment niks zeggen.'

"There other clubs interested in Louis van Gaal, we shall see what choice I make and what choice the clubs are going to make. It's a process, that's how it goes with any other club. At the moment I can't say anything further about this process."

And yes. He indeed was talking about himself in the third person.

 

[Salvadora]

Javi Martinez would do nicely this summer. Wouldn't complain about a £32m bid.

 

[phaze]

Well come on Villa make it an interesting PL finish.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Well come on Villa make it an interesting PL finish.

lol

What a shite final weekend it'll be

Relegation battle, European spots and title all done and dusted.

 

[Scum]

So Messi wants to be paid more and wants the club to assure him to have a squad next season to compete for all the important trophies next year.

More money + demand for a better squad.

Oh Lionel...

What's wrong with that? He needs money for a better squad. Any manager would demand that.

 

[bud]

fucking hell, it's not even sold out.

the amount of empty seats is embarrassing.

 

[rodvik]

Well come on Villa make it an interesting PL finish.

We wont. Dissapointon Villa.

Still should be a fun game regardless.

 

[3Sixty]

Ah Micheal Oliver.

This could be fun.

 

[L0st Id3ntity]

Silva's appeals are embarrassing.

 

[wedward]

Javi Martinez would do nicely this summer. Wouldn't complain about a £32m bid.

He'd be perfect.

Fuck it. I am going all in.

Welcome to Arsenal, Javi.

fucking hell, it's not even sold out.

the amount of empty seats is embarrassing.

Fans buying tickets and not showing up isn't City's concern.

 

[Meier]

Fire Emblem is brill

Still probably my favorite game on the system. Amazing! I happily played with permadeath turned off.

The response to these sanctions are framing it as though City have done all they can to comply.

Which is why they spent £100m last summer.

I think the realistic total was closer to £88m. We sold Balotelli in January then Tevez in the summer and unloaded another £15-20m+ in contracts in Bridge, Barry, Santa Cruz and Toure. The net total was pretty standard.

Talk about a torrential downpour.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Of course there are empty seats. Have you seen how shit the weather is?

 

[Scum]

If Virion dies I'm throwing the DS out the window

:-/

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Vamos Valladolid and Superior Manchester!

 

[bud]

Of course there are empty seats. Have you seen how shit the weather is?

bacon, please stop trolling me.

these two games are their most important games of the season.

 

[rodvik]

KEA is playing particularly badly already. That bodes ill.

 

[Yen]

fucking hell, it's not even sold out.

the amount of empty seats is embarrassing.

A lot ill City fans who couldn't make it to the match.

£88m is not a standard spend when you didn't recoup anywhere near that.

And it's definitely not a serious attempt to comply with FFP when the club knew they were nowhere close to complying - which is the real point. City didn't care.

 

[John Dunbar]

hopefully villa gets a draw just to rub some more salt into pool.

 

[3Sixty]

Traffic problems say Sky

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

bacon, please stop trolling me.

You don't want the City fans who already feel a little under the weather to catch pneumonia, do you?

 

[Scum]

😒

 

[Meier]

That wasn't a net spend. That was a gross spend. Net spend (gross minus Tevez and Balotelli) was closer to £55-60m or so.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

The best thing about the Etihad is how well the sky blue seats contrast with the mostly dark coats, making it crystal clear how many fucking seats are empty.

 

[Vivalaraza]

That wasn't a net spend. That was a gross spend.

Yeah, see my edit.

You didn't even make £50m back. So in the transfer window alone you'd already broke the FFP rules. Before all the other losses come in.

City thought they'd get away with it. Assume they still will in the courts.

 

[Into]

Aguero lol

Looked like a fake ass terminator

 

[PowderedToast]

atmosphere is shocking, you can hear the players shouting

 

[Vivalaraza]

Sounds like the Gerrard song has caught on..

 

[dark_prinny]

VAMOS PUCELA!

 

[Meier]

Nice defending by Vlaar there. Great pass.

 

[Salvadora]

He'd be perfect.

Fuck it. I am going all in.

Welcome to Arsenal, Javi.

With the huge cash reserves and new commercial deals, Arsenal should be ready to flex it's financial muscle this summer. Three more Arsene amigos. Javi, Cavani and Aurier.

 

[Gareth Bale]

The response to these sanctions are framing it as though City have done all they can to comply.

Which is why they spent £100m last summer.

That guy I retweeted yesterday put up an article quoting some analyst that said City failed because of a technicaliteh. He thinks they couldn't write off £80million in wages for players signed before the monitoring period because that figure wasn't equal to or greater than their overall losses.

Same analyst also thinks that because the fine is a three year reduction in Champions League revenue, it's possible that the deduction would be affect their break even calculation.

edit: which also might cause them problems with the Premier League's spending rules, but I can't see the Premier League looking at the Etihad deal the same way UEFA did.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

British reporter asks if Van Gaal knows much about Man Utd [culture and history]: "That is a very stupid question. What do you think?" [nos]


YES GAHL

 

[Mr.Marston]

Think Villa can get something here personally.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Only hope is for a City player to get sent off. Even then I'd back them to get a draw at least

Helicon days.

[Kill Your Masters]

Chief bullshit writer Oliver Holt saying it's wrong punishing City when they're putting millions into the regenerating a deprived area of Manchester.

Regeneration that is excluded from UEFA break-even calculations anyway. Or more likely he's suggesting they should be let off for doing something good.

Should have invested in pharmacy or something instead., the whole city seems to be sick all the time.

[kharma45]

Didn't expect Van Gaal to be driving a VW Phaeton.

 

[WJD]

That was lovely from JM7.

 

[Mascot]

Why am I even watching this? Villa are shit. They're gonna get stuffed.

Only Big Andy and Sideshow Stu can save us now.

 

[Scum]

HIIIXXXXXX!

Pepe looks hot with the straight hair lol.

Yaya wants the title, probably tire himself by HT.


Oh and Sunderland scored, their resurgence past few weeks is legendary.

 

[Meier]

That Villa away kit is awesome. Consistently impressed.

 

[Lightning]

I don't understand City fans. How can they not sell out their ground when they are about to win the title?

 

[The_Hitcher89]

That should be a red for Garcia
