It will be interesting if UTD still don't make top 4 after splashing the cash. The league is lot more competitive right now and pockets are deep.

Probably won't to be honest.

Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City all have better team depth than us.

You guys see this?

Makes Aspas's corner not look that bad.

Rooney's at the World Cup already did that.

The attack must be disgusted at how shit everyone behind them is.

Balotelli training at Milan


http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/aug/23/liverpool-mario-balotelli-song

At City, the coaches recall how they would give him DVDs to swot up on the opposition then realise he was watching Laurel and Hardy movies instead. They remember him being fascinated with the sliding doors at their training ground and driving slowly towards the entrance in his camouflage sports car, mounting the kerb to see how close he could get before the glass swung open. We all know about the scraps, the crashes, the pranks. Everyone remembers him chucking darts from a window at the youth-team players or what happened the night before the Manchester derby when he and his gang started letting off fireworks from the bathroom window (though don’t forget he scored a peach the following day).

A part of him, I suspect, will always be that overgrown kid, new to England, who went to John Lewis one afternoon to get an ironing board and came back with a quad bike, a trampoline and a giant Scalextric. It is both his charm and his weakness. The good does outweigh the bad, it’s just a close-run thing sometimes and Liverpool, as Carragher implied, should bear in mind it could involve some sleepless nights.

So I started watching Angel a few weeks back (Awesome show btw) better in many ways than Buffy)

and now at Season 5, and something hit me,

Senior partners at Wolfram &Hart are sure devious

Just think about the vast amount of money United have spent since last summer, yet we still haven't sorted out midfield or defence properly.

It's mad.

2 panic buys in Mata and Fellaini for £65m+.

Crazy.

Tomorrow's Marca; "with his bag packed and a paid plane ticket to Manchester. That's Ángel di María."

At least Fergie bothered to get a quality keeper before he left.

rojo at 16 was a good buy

rest were pants (not the players, the prices)

 

[Zabojnik]

Imagine if the Di Maria United bought turns out to be the inconstant one from, uh, one and a half seasons back. The one Madrid fans desperately wanted to get rid of.

The money spent on Mata/Herrera and Fellaini could have easily landed us Vidal and Kroos or a CB.

 

[KidA Seven]

Did you manage to find any clips from today's u18s game?

Didn't watch it and don't know of any clips. The crop of players aren't highly rated. Only two players to watch for are Mitchell (winger) and Rashford (#10). Rashford didn't play and he's the youngest player so he was probably involved with the u16s or something.

Compared to:

 

[Meus Renaissance]

That SkySports ad of the sofa ref (where the football fan gets to vote on a red card decision) made me wonder...why isn't this a thing?

Adnan looks so cute there.

Hearing alot of good things about Mitchell. Hope to see him play in the FAYC this year.

You really can't think of one reason?

Keane should ask for some tips.

Yeah we need democracy in the sport, football wasn't made in North Korea.

I love Australian accents. I don't know how Pirlo does it.


When are they doing the first team photos for the new season?

Can't be worse than what they got now. But I applaud your sensitive touch on the issue. Can see you are enjoying this ;P

After they sell Vidal.

Immobile is kind of shit, isn't he.

Just watched 'Looper', it was pretty good.

Great article on MNF.

It's like their budget ran out.

Looper felt like a Christopher Nolan movie.

"Oh I've got a great concept and I'll set up all these expositional ground rules and now I'm bored and now I'll end the movie"

The kid was really annoying.

Spoiler

I wanted him dead

edit: yeah the movie had a great concept, it could have been a GREAT movie with better director/writers(?). It had a lot of room to expand, and could have been more "layered", but in the end they made it very simple and direct ruining it a bit. Good movie still

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Must say I generally really like Rian Johnson movies though.

It was inception in reverse. The ground rules were the fun part of looper. The execution was kind of lame.

Luckily in looper that part came first.

Junited in misery.

Immobile is kind of shit, isn't he.

He wasn't a good enough striker for Juve. And we deemed the likes of Matri, Boriello, Bendtner and a retired Anelka to be good enough, so you can imagine. Seriously though, I can't seem to get a straight answer out of our Dortmund bros here. It's probably way to early to tell anyway.

 

[Elchele]

btw, 'Dredd' is fucking amazing

 

[wedward]

Yeah, not a Star Wars fan but I'm more interested to see what he does than JJ.

@FutbolSergi
Reports picking up the pace in Italy that Milan are targeting Damião and Fred. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse at Milan.

 

[LegoArmo]

If Liverpool fans voting in online polls has taught me anything, it's that we can't let fans make any decisions.

I really didn't get what was so amazing about this....I do like the character of Dredd tho, he's a cool anti-hero, lol.

But yeah, that film was really boring :/

Yeah. Haven't seen last night's episode but I liked the first two. Good enough that I'm interested to keep watching, mainly for Clive Owen, the music, and Soderbergh's sexy direction.

YES MOYES

YES MOYES

Marca say we haven't even bid yet, but will do soon lol

Also say the play will get #7 and 8m net.

Still think there's a chance this can break down.

Dredd was definitely not boring. It's one of the best action flicks from the past few years IMO.

 

[Meier]

Look at this golazo that Orlando City scored tonight. So sexy.. that first pass was unbelievable.

Yep. No bid yet.

 

[Elchele]

did you guys watch 'About Time'? I really liked it

 

[Frank the Great]

YES! MOST SUCCESSFUL CLUB IN DA UNIVERSE MAKING A COMEBACK!

We beat both Juve and Sassuolo. Nothing can stop us now.

Seriously though, we played pretty well. It has been interesting how much we have improved as the preseason has developed. If Inzaghi can keep making the team gel like this, we could be surprisingly decent this year.

We still need a prima punta (Pazzini just not good enough as sole striker) and a fucking midfielder though. With a couple more signings and without any European obligations I think we could challenge for third place.

@FutbolSergi

Fuck me. At this point, I'd rather they just bring Pato back. Better than Torres or fucking Fred, even with the injuries.
