No end product
I have no clue how I am still 5th in FPL. Fucking cursed I tell ya.
Started 5 defenders this week thinking Stoke and/or City would sure keep Clean Sheets. Luke Shaw was the only one to get more than 1 point. Panic sold Remy for -4 to replace him with Lukaku and then Remy scores a goal anyway. Didn't play him this week so I took a loss on a guy I didn't even play.
Edit: Strike that last bit. He was 4.5 but is now 5.2.. I guess they gave me his value as 4.8, so I did get the profit.

Mbiwa was embarrassing to watch tonight, when Williamson is coming on to stem the tide something is seriously wrong. I doubt he'll play again for a long while.
I would be more inclined to agree with that if we had our best team available.
Yep yep yep.
Horrendous transfer policy that was doomed to failure. People bigged up M'Biwa big time and he's one of the worst fucking players I've ever seen. Not only are these signings technically poor, they've got less brains than a bowl of porridge. Similar consistency, too.
And the whole thing is concocted by Alan Pardew.
You know that bus in Speed? Well it's like that but Stevie Wonder is driving.
Sissoko is disappointing too. He isn't Mbiwa levels of bad but he started off so brightly and now he's just so average.
If we get our full team back we will take a piss on most other teams midfields. We have way too much midfield talent to have so little talent everywhere else.
Hopefully Poldi comes back soon. I'm sure he will then become back up to Giroud.
They had a few initial successes with their transfer policy. Cabaye was a good purchase as was Ben Arfa. But then they started going for more French players and started getting diminishing returns.
Cabaye is a player who wants a move. He isn't playing as well as he was a few years ago but every now and then he shows that he can still be a quality player.

United Bros there is a new article on the Graun saying the Glazers have made £50m available for Moyes to spend in January, with Herrera and Baines being the top targets.
Sounds very similar to the articles written in the summer about funds being available. It also goes on to say that Moyes will only spend the money on players he deems to be of the proper value. Have a read if you like.

edit: The Telegraph is reporting the same thing. They mention Mangala too.

Aaand that's where the optimism dies.
Saw that earlier. Can see us bringing someone in, can't see Everton wanting to let Baines go then though.
Come to Villa pls Kiyo ;_;

We need a CB, leave Evra alone for the time being.
You need to post more.
We don't need a CB just yet, we just need to stop playing Rio. At the end of the year would be the time to sign one, Ferdinand is OK as back up to Evans/Smalling/Jones.

Herrera's proper value isn't his buyout clause, but you must pay his buyout clause. No way that deal gets done.

Few questions about Band of Brothers
a) Is it historically accurate
b) How much of it is about their family back home
c) How much of it is about the relationships between the soldiers
d) Is it always centred on the US troops?

A) Yes

C) All of it
D) Almost always yes, the show is about the 101st after all.

Cheers. Gonna be between BoB and Deadwood I think. My brother has BoB on DVD but he won't let me borrow it, the cunt.
a) it's heavily based on well regarded first hand book
b) nearly zero. one character mentions his girlfriend dumping him a few times.
c) this is the meat of the show. it's about the camaraderie between a single group (as well as using amazing cinematopgraphy to capture the intensity of warfare)
d) basically yes
Get it on BR and watch it with surround sound. Godly. Surround sound is a must when watching it.

Do you think Moyes is going to play Evans from now on? Feels like every chance he gets, he puts Rio.
Netflix.

HBO stuff will never be on Netflix.
I hope so. He has managed to stop playing Giggs of late, now Young. Hopefully Rio is next.
Aye we don't got them, HBO stuff will never be on it.
not 100% true. rome is on uk netflix
probably because it's a bbc/hbo co-production, but then so is band of brothers...

lol Mancini to Galatasaray... I don't think he'll last long given his record in CL.

I could have sworn it was on US Netflix, guess I was thinking of something else.
Maybe, or maybe he's just resting them.

Sounds like the Guardian and the Telegraph have been briefed by United over this £50m to spend in January.
We had plenty of these briefs over summer and they went nowhere. But I still remain optimistic that we'll sign some quality players. Woodward and Moyes will want to make up for a dreadful summer transfer window.
