We drink the wine that Louis van Gaal has selected for us. “Good, eh?” he says and fires me a penetrating look. “Or don’t you think so? Well?”
“Absolutely. Really nice, Louis.”
Since his stint at Barcelona, he has developed a nose for wine and he likes to have this confirmed.
“Louis always chooses wonderful wines,” says Truus.
“That’s very true,” says Van Gaal.
“That other one is really lovely too,” Truus adds.
“What do you mean that other one?” Van Gaal shoots back. “That’s no good to anyone, Truus. When are you going to learn? You’ve got to name names. There are wines by the thousand. Was it white or red?”
“Never mind,” she says and raises her glass.
“Am I right or not? Well, Truus?”
“I’ve forgotten what it was called,” she sighs. “Just leave it, will you?”

In 2009 Thomas Müller and Holger Badstuber were giving final contracts for a move to Freiburg. It was almost done.

:lol

Oh my.

Müller was also presented to FC Zürich.

But it was Van Gaal who decided that he should stay.

On the story of van Gaal and his wife... before we got Steve Bruce, Quinn phoned van Gaal and his wife answered. Quinn said she practically begged him to take the job, and he said he wanted a bit of time to think about.

Two weeks later, van Gaal was at Bayern.

And we had Steve Bruce.

2009, the only year Gahl was not out of his mind.
Alaba, Badstuber, Müller were all taken to the A squad by him. To be he completely went nuts after the famous balkony speech.

Yo :-/

Just 1.5 years ago, Manchester United was a European powerhouse, And now??

Shanks said something very right a few hours ago. SAF had this relentless will to win, and his team was all about it. Moyes is a decent coach but his body language and missing winning mentality didn't help. Gahl is great, but his ego and complete lack of focus on defence will break his neck.

And it looks like there is no one at Manchester who can stop him. Our board managed to hold him back for about a year. But then it happened anyway.

But there is nothing like that in Manchester. You can slowly see a trainwreck in the making.

What's with Bla and United :lol


Football and cycles bb, one season you bukkake Barca 7-0 and the next you get dp'd by Madrid 5-0 without scoring a single goal

In a few years they could be on top of the world (again), they have the finances to do it.

That Cavani face is incredible lmao.

I dont blame LVG or Moyes, the shit man u are in is SAF fault.

I mean as great as a manager he was... he was maybe too great, because that man u team overachieved for a long time. When he left they just turned to the true form.

LVG has bought a fuck load of players, he had to, but as per liverpool/tottenham and any other squad that have had massive overhauls it takes time to gel.
 
I remember the thread when the rumours started circling the Fergie was going to announce his retirement the next day.

Good times.

Arnie said Moyes would come it.

I said Phil Neville would join him.

It was all perfect.
 
Wait are those unity screens???

Yes and the reviews are out, not looking too kind of it. I'm somewhat enjoying it, fuck ubisoft.

I agreed with Arnie. #rightside

Salazar said it would never happen.

G-Unit was still confused to who Moyes was.

who is this Snitch guy?

who does he support?

why is he obsessed with many football teams?

Is he one of these many-teamers?

He snitched one of our heralded members, calling upon GAF owner to ban him.
He supports both Barca and now recently Bayern (pep fan boi)
He's a many-teamer, watches Liga / Bundeslol
He hates being quoted, don't do that. He'll snitch you.

If Assassin’s Creed Unity represents the future direction of AAA video games, I seriously question the future health and legitimacy of this industry.

These are 8 real things I experienced within Assassin’s Creed Unity’s first 2-3 hours:

I tried to open a treasure chest, but was told I needed the Assassin’s Creed companion app to open it, with no additional information or context.

I tried to open another treasure chest, and was told I needed to sign up for Assassin’s Creed Initiates to open it.

I tried to open a third treasure chest, and was told I needed to upgrade Arno’s lockpicking skill.

I upgraded Arno’s lockpicking skill, and was told my skill level still wasn’t high enough to open that chest. I gave up.

When I paused the game, the second option in the pause menu is an eStore that lets you spend real money on time-saving boosts, bonus in-game currency, and so-on.

I saw a woman floating through the air.

I heard the same line of dialogue 5 times during an early-game chase mission.

I experienced my character flip all around on the side of a building instead of climb through the window like I wanted.

None of the above includes subjective elements I found troublesome, including confusing and uninteresting “modern day” moments, trial and error mission design, and soulless NPCs.

Do you know what's quite embarrassing?

Some of these reviews read like fucking abhorrent scores and yet you get to the end and it's a 7/10

They know people won't read the content and they'll look at the score and deem it worthy of buying

Games reviews are a whole other level of madness to me compared to films/music/etc

thats rather unimpressive, it's a shame because I'm sure there are some talented people working for Ubi but their company image sucks at the moment.

I haven't played PES since 2006, might give 2015 a go if you're all saying its that good.

It's because of the famous 6-10 scale they use. Don't question it.

Also, Dragon Age Inquisition.

Lloyd's fucking lost Skyrim and GOT has put me in the mood for sword slashing business.

I only played the first one for a few hours but didn't like it much, mostly because I thought the presentation was pretty poor and the combat was duff (skyrim h8rs pls)

Haven't seen a screenshot or video of this game yet

will I like it

WILL I LIKE IT

I need to chop something up

Fuck you lloyd

I hope you won't like it.
 
My List of stuff I noticed:

  • Person Floating Over the City for at least 20 minutes
  • Crash on Xbox One
  • Person polishing shoes on a roof with no customer
  • Customer getting shoes polished without a person doing it or a chair(looked like a BJ)
  • Woman floating through walls
  • Arno leaped off a building flew upwards then shot out into the street like a howitzer(many times)
  • People change gender in crowds constantly


Ass Creed sounds worth a try when it hits 5 euros, for the bugs.

Fuck you

Fuck Lloyd

I hope you adopt him and you both fall into an Icelandic volcano

I just want a good game.

You will like it

Well he said he didn't like the first one... Doesn't seem to have changed itself that much from that?

yeah you'll love Dragon Age I reckon Wilbz

from what i've read of inquistion it's padded to the point of insanity, full of inane and pointless side quests and has large, open areas for you to explore full to the brim of repetitive, mmo style side quests

"oh hello my hero" "please fetch 14 rabbit cocks for my son Flange Mcbranch as he is terribly ill"

plus the combat has been action-ed to the max from DA:O

Hours and hours of meaningless shite and dreary lore....very similar to Skyrim. Does look pretty though.

Are you havin a tin bath m8

Well guess I haven't been following it much then, that is... Disappointing.

I don't trust your post though, cause the game is fucking ugly.
