My PSN ID is the same as my username. I have no set times of when I'll be playing, so could play with anyone potentially.
I will probably never go to Australia or New Zealand because I don't like flying and the length of the flights are too long and I also don't like everything in Australia that wants to eat me

I'm probably more excited for the next United match than most of youse just so we can crush this absurd surge of optimism.
You're still playing a 3-5-2 with Ashley Young at wingback, Phillip Jones in central defence and Darren Fletcher.
He's now signed on.
Fucking tragic.

A friend of a friend quit his £40k a year job at Goldman Sachs last week because he's afraid of flying and there was a one week training course in New York.
He's now signed on.
Fucking tragic.
m8 fletcher ain't getting a look in. Di Maria and Herrera in the middle.

Arnie, pls.
Radamel is gonna tear Rio a new one.

Just so you know, that's a worse midfield duo.
Di Maria is not a central midfielder and United will be fucking rolled over if you insist otherwise.
Ultimately you just aren't a very good football team. As in you don't really play football at all well across the pitch. You don't pass well. You don't defend well. And you certainly don't create an overwhelming amount of chances. Nor do you get the maximum (or even close to it) from your players.
Di Maria was supposed to be the answer at Burnley.
Falcao will be held up as the answer at QPR.
But neither are the answer.
Played in centre midfield all last season. Granted it was aside Alonso and Modric, but he still played there.
I think he'll play there whether we play 3-5-2 or 4-3-3. Just depends where Blind is playing I guess; defence or midfield. He plays in the middle, ADM might play wingback or wide in a 4-3-3.

I still don't get the whole "everything is trying to kill you in Australia stereotype" been here for yonks and the worst I see is a dead kangaroo on the road every morning.
Wtf? I'm terrified of flying and pretty much have a panic attack every time I do it. You just have to man up and refuse to let it stop you. Quitting a well paying job because you'd need to do two 8 hour flights...wow.
Right, but you should (and it sounds like you do) recognise the chasm of difference between a midfield three of Alonso, Modric and ADM and a trio of Blind/Fletcher, Herrera and ADM. Especially in the Premier League.
It's not a solution to throw ADM in there. The solution is to buy another central midfielder, which sounds like the priority for January. Hopefully for United Strootman fully recovers from his injury.
I know.
I used to have slight anxiety attacks when sitting down for a restaurant meal. Just meant I couldn't really eat and lost my appetite.
My job demanded I do it anyway, so I did it, and now it seems absurd. It's about retraining your brain to understand that there's nothing to fear and take control of the situation.
So tragic that he's gone from wealth to signing on because of irrational fear.
Awsomeoah was the answer
Go 4312.
Let Rafael and Shaw work the wings.
------- Blind ------
Herrera --- Di Maria
------- Rooneh -----
----- RVP -- RUMBO ---
I think we'll line up like this:
De Gea; Jones, Evans, Rojo; Valencia, Herrera, Di Maria, Blind; Rooney; Falcao, van Persie
Not saying that'll work, and I'd rather we switched to 4-3-3 to accommodate people like Di Maria better, but that's what I think we'll see.
Nah, various people have told me the common house spider is bigger than a small car so fuck that

Yeah I agree, but until January we'll make do with what we have, and that invariably means Di Maria will be playing centre mid because the alternative is Anderson.
You should take Titus Bramble on a free and have a spine of power doughnuts.

I'm in Aus at the moment, traveling, and it's pretty fucking cool m8. The flight is split into two parts, one 12 hour flight and then a 7 hour one.

In a taxi best not shit my pants.
I did eight hours to New York and hated it, don't think I could do a 12 hour one. Not sure.
Doing 4 hours to turkey next week and even that I'm not looking forward to.
Yep Saturday night, have you watched the Mayweather vs Maidana All Access 2? It's brilliant, 2 episodes so far next one Wednesday. His lifestyle is just insane.
Same here, probably gonna pick up a Xbone just for that Halo collection.

Di Maria Blind Herrera midfield is fine for the premier league. Herrera has already shown that he will try and win the ball back and Di Maria covered for Ronaldo and Marcelo last season. His defensive work isn't something to question.
I will never abandon Zooey.

Yep the natural predator of the kangaroo is the deadly Mitsubishi Pajero!! Some deadly sea animals and a few spiders but if you live in a major city you will rarely if ever see them.The saying is made for kangaroos and as you can see its true.

Yep. Always said that to Madridistas but they always hated Di maria. Poor guy,
Herrera looked like he needed time to acclimatise to the league. Blind is coming from Holland. Di Maria will be knocked off the ball easily.
It's a fine trio for the Premier League but it isn't going to be enough to dominate the game against better teams.

said this to myself a few times in my life already, but as Arnie said in Locke, you can always make anything WORK and adapt.
I didn't mean to ;_; what was your question again? Shoot
OH PLS, get outta here with you internet standards, she's utterly gorgeous
I see, yea maybe not the best idea to do a 12 hour flight then. but, if you can, you won't regret when you land in Aus, Sydney especially is an awesome city.

I have to agree with Yurt. It can't work, and even if it can, not with the current Manchester United team.
The defence is just not there. I don't think there'll be enough difference even with Rojo and Blind in the team. That's just no unity or comandeering influence at our backend.
Pity De Gea is too inexperienced to be made captain, that's the best I can think of, by having a lead at the back to feed the front.
EDIT: Have fun at the beach Wilbur. You'll take a picture like this right? But naked.

Few things to note (not looked at it for a while)
1) It seems to have removed the console-seperation from the Group, not sure if it'll be reintroduced
2) I don't know what the clan benefits are over the group
3) If you request an invite and your bungie username is different to your name here, send me a PM on here or there saying who you are. Lurkers are welcome as long as too many don't try joining (like that'd happen)
4) I might make that group into a clan as well, problem is it seems that you can only be in one clan, so it might not be the best choice
5) kingelessar if you're reading this, I missed your invite request and it expired, so I've sent an invite on bungie.net

I agree with the defence they all look shit scared when they have the ball and there is no leader there now Vidic has gone but Blind was captain at Ajax so hopefully he will be the one to stand up.
