I know, but I don't think it should really matter either way. Sorry if I'm a bit spiky, SMT IV's continual delay's pissing me off.
Absolutely it's amazing.
speaking of which Wilbur and everyone, is Bronson worth the watch?

Nice, FIFA 15 is on the US PSN store for pre-order and pre-load. $59.99 which is around £36.

Havin' a laugh? We're the most profitable club in the world. We're gonna dominate shirt sales this year like we do every year. Don't mistaken us for a club like City or QPR who spend out of their means and have no worldwide following. Ffs

Hardy's astonishing in it, but the film isn't great. Too pleased with itself. Worth a watch though.
Any other non-obvious recent-ish recommendations? I'd like to watch something tonight, Netflix's movie selection sucks balls.

Rumbo went to have a Chinese at 3am after signing for us. Bedding in already.
Chinese is opening at 3am
Only Lovers left Alive. I quite enjoyed it. Perhaps Killing them softly for an assassin/mob movie.
A team without Champions League football offering £350k per week is financially ludicrous, which you'll soon find out.
Your spending has made it even more imperative for your club to achieved Champions League qualification this season. In an uphill race it seems like unnecessary baggage.
I suppose LVG doubted his ability to coach into his current squad.

Not off the top of my head :lol. What kind of movie? Genre? Specific actor? Tits?
His self indulgence is his strength. He's brilliant.

I don't understand your argument in regards to what United should have done
How were they going to get back into the CL without spending money?
Has he named himself after United's official wine sponsor?
No wonder he's an authority on the subject.

Alive! 1993. Then buy the book.
One season without champions league football and we're unable to pay that? Your logic fails me.
I could understand if we went 2-3 seasons without champions league, but one. Ludicrous thinking.

God I love that Falcao interview.
He just seems so happy. Like I know the money/agents rule all but he just looks genuinely delighted to have reached the peak of his profession. No offence to the clubs he's been at, which arguably are in a better position than we are right now.
But the EPL is the EPL.
Explains why he took the paycut to join.

We're not even offering that, but I still don't see your point. We have money, we're spending it to get back into the CL.

Falcao is first Colombian to play for United apparently
he probably remembered how much he earns per minute, and how much richer he'll be after that interview.
Ogden has linked an article written by Paul Parker. In it he's taken the complete opposite view to most of the established press pack and basically calls Rooney shite and the player who should be dropped for Falcao. Says he's selfish, sulky and nowhere near as good as most make him out to be. Its a very refreshing stance.

We aren't spending it to get back into the CL. We're spending it to win the title.
It will break my heart if making the top 4 becomes an achievement for us.
You kept Vidal. What more do you want from me? TAKE IT ALL!

I couldn't think of any previous. We don't really sign a lot of South Americans in general.
Jim Jarmusch though. Not sure I'm in the mood for one of his films tonight. Seen KtS, was alright.
Preferably something that has a story with some meat on it, no atmosferic/artsy/pretentious stuff, not tonight. Any genre, really.
I'm not sure if you're joking or not. You've already recommended it, I've seen it, liked it too. <3
Seen it already, I think.
United may very well brute force top 4 with the sheer quality of attacking talent, but this sort of feels like the point of no return.
£350,000 p/w wages, a commitment to spend £55m next summer on Falcao, Luke Shaw, Di Maria and so forth.
Ignoring the defence (especially CB) and CM (to a degree) is pretty criminal and stands a good chance of biting them in the arse this season.

I only mean for this season in particular. Getting back into the CL is important. I'm not too confident on us winning the title this season, but next season, sure.
Spend reasonably in positions that do desperately need strengthening.
Don't spend astronomically and without long-term considerations in positions that don't require it.
Clubs have to think about all possible outcomes.
I wasn't in my undies glued to my laptop yesterday, so correct me if I'm wrong, but despite Falcao being a loan isn't there a feeling that the deal to sign him permanently is somewhat included? Like, isn't he there for the forseeable future.
A 29/30 year old on £350k per week at a club without Champions League football is suicide. Especially when he has no reason to leave and is too old for someone to offer him a better deal.
Any United fan that thinks their club are getting back into the Champions League this season has their head in the clouds. As such, a signing in a position that didn't desperately need strengthening seems ludicrous.
We'll see, I'm obviously going against the status quo with this one and as United's official wine sponsor has declared I'm once again talking shit, so perhaps this is just another of those shit predictions I make.
Falcao is going to become a real strain on United's finances in the not too distant future.
Where as people who have been following football pre 2008 know they've been doing that all along.

If Falcao becomes too expensive to keep, you know it's only a 1 year loan, right?
How recent? No country for old men or true grit
Us getting top 4, I believe, is dependant on how well Arsenal and Liverpool do, I fully expect one of you to run away with third, the other will be 4th come new year. I think in the new year we are going to do very well indeed, if we arent too far off the pace.
I think the 4/5 race will be exciting than the 1-2 tbh :3
Have you ever watched Bones? That's a bit of a guilty pleasure of ours. I think the only show on CBS we watch is Elementary.

Just seen Rooney's presser.
Honestly baffles me how this man has become captain of England and Man United.
He can barely form sentences. Like I know you don't need to be a great orator to be a captain but jeez. Nobody is listening to him thinking, "YES WAYNE, I WILL FOLLOW!"
