Do i need to buy this.

Or will U2 automatically appear in my bed?

 

[Wilbur]

He'd be a proper perfect fit for you boys or Arsenal.


When we lose him in the summer.

Should have signed him from Celtic. Would have been 15 million cheaper

“United got away with murder tonight,” Neville said in his role as Sky TV pundit. “As an ex-legend, or legend, he should pay attention to his words,” snapped Van Gaal.

Van Gaal picked out Van Persie for special praise claiming he was one of only three United players to meet the required standard.

“It was not only the goals, but also his performance,” Van Gaal said of Van Persie. “He was one of the three united players who were good. He had a great influence on the result. That was his best performance (for me).

“It’s fantastic to be third in the table but I had hoped we would have done it with better performances. Tonight we were the lucky team. Three good players, the rest were not good. Normally you have six, seven or eight players who are good. Today we had too many who weren’t.”

Gary, You've been told!

3 players, my guess = RVP, Carrick and De Gea.

The rest were average to bad. Herrera did okay to inject a bit of energy into midfield but its not enough on his own. Deserves a start vs Liverpool, but he'll probably get benched again.

Looks like a sitcom promo pic, I'd watch a U2 sitcom.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

at least bono and the edge the have the courtesy of showing where their hands are

Only if it was like South Park and Bono died every week.

Dunno why LVG is pissed at Neville. He agreed with him :lol

 

[Broder Salsa]

Rojo is a centre back that can't defend. Should have played him at LB.

But but but I got shouted at for bringing up that he wasn't a great defender

Also good thread dark rider.

it's like someone's shopped their old man faces onto an lp sleeve from 20 years ago as a joke.

Chelsea fans anywhere near the club's training ground over the past week may have got something of a surprise. Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport report on Thursday that last weekend, Fernando Torres travelled back to Chelsea's training ground for treatment.

The Spanish striker is struggling from injury and despite being on a two year loan at AC Milan, and despite that taking him to the end of his Chelsea contract, Torres decided that he'd prefer to see Chelsea physios. The striker has a problem with his right ankle and travelled to Chelsea to get advice and to have it looked at.

Samp's president is an absolute legend.

HE'S BACK!

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

i don't understand the title

 

[Hixx]

I'm not proud of this thread's heritage. It's a DISGRACE.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

What's the latest with Rafa, Shaw and ADM? Liverpool game?

 

[K1LLER7]

Who the fuck said he was a great defender

Not great but good.

He needs a dominant partner. We should have signed Garay

 

[FlutterPuffs]

We were shit, and we got away with murder. Yeah 3-5-2 is not working for us but that's no reason for the players poor performances innit.

WTF is wrong with Evans. And Rojo.

Anyway guys, any good football podcasts to listen to? It being hilarious is a plus.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Samp's president is an absolute legend.

I love reading his comments.

 

[Lana Del Rey]

Rooney and Mata were disappointing today

Fellini was worse than normal, even his elbow wasn't all that

Valencia, Young and Rojo were having a laugh

Football Weekly or Football Ramble are part of the usual recommendations. I listen to both. Well worth checking out.

 

[Mr Cola]

Is there any way to watch the first hour of monday night football? I missed it and we have virgin so I dont have a sky acc (if its even on there). Want to hear them talk about the weekend games.

 

[Clegg]

Football Weekly really isn't that good anymore.

Listen to Second Captains instead.

 

[Fintan]

I would add Second Captains. It's an Irish show so at times, especially during international breaks, it has a slant towards Irish football but most of the time it covers Premier League, CL etc. A bit more journalistic than the other two, but also quite funny at times. Ken Early is entertaining.

 

[Salazar]

Drop all three. Fellaini too.

 

[Wilbur]

But for who?!

Will try that. I like the football ramble quite a lot, but football weekly is annoying me a bit, wish it was longer.

 

[Clegg]

I wonder what happened during the week to resuscitate RVP?

 

[Peco]

Samp's president is an absolute legend.

 

[Salazar]

But for who?!

I defer to KidA's foetus catalogue.

Surely we'll have some players back for Liverpool. Surely.

 

[Willkiller]

Football Weekly is vapid

 

[Fintan]

Yeah, they do two football based ones a week and two based on other sports, so make sure you're downloading the right ones!

 

[Lana Del Rey]

Rafael is back in training, he could potentially play against Liverpool.

I doubt Di Maria and Shaw will be be back, but we'll have to see who trains on the weekend.

If you google the terms "footy" and "origin" you might have some luck.

 

[Yen]

If you google the terms "footy" and "origin" you might have some luck.

There are conflicting explanations of the origin of the word "football". It is widely assumed that the word "football" (or "foot ball") references the action of the foot kicking a ball. There is an alternative explanation, which is that football originally referred to a variety of games in medieval Europe, which were played on foot. There is no conclusive evidence for either explanation.

[Mr Cola]

Wonder how Mcnair will handle being taken off and with LvG being honest about why? I wonder if knowing Evans stayed on made him feel worse.

 

[Clegg]

Telling you m77, listen to Second Captains. Like Fintan says, it's an Irish podcast so they discuss our domestic and international teams a bit, but our season is finished and there are no internationals so it's all Premier League and European football right now. Shows are usually an hour long so they spend a bit more time talking about the matches and have a lot more time to discuss continental football with their guests. Where guys like Honigstein and Auclair may get 2-3 minutes on FW they can get anywhere up to 15 minutes of Second Captains. There's a bit on 'banter' between the hosts but nowhere near the levels FW has gotten to.

I think it's probably because a crisis of confidence for someone of his experience could be disastrous in the long run.

That's my favourite thing about the show. Instead of trying to cover everything, and as a result having little depth, like Football Weekly, they choose 2 or 3 main things to discuss for the whole episode. Works a lot better IMO. There's no need to have to go over every PL result and go "What did you think?" for 30 seconds.

The football pod has been excellent for a long time now.

Really starting to like the podcast covering all other sports too. The section with US Murph where they talk about NFL and Baseball are really good. Get some great guests on for that one too.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Here's what I listen to; Life's a Pitch.

It's funny, which is great although some of the guests could get a little annoying at times. There's also a small focus on Asian football near the end.

Did you listen back in the Off the Ball days? I happened to catch Off the Ball on the radio the other day. They have a lot of the same segments (John Giles, Graham Hunter etc.) The new guys aren't bad, but it wasn't the same. They still use the same intros and little audio clips, which is a bit weird considering a lot of them are sort of based around in-jokes from the Second Captains guys.

I listen to it sometimes if there is a controversy after a game or something big happens in sport, but you're right, the quality just isn't there. Not required listening for me like SC is. They're more jokey than the guys at SC which detracts a bit from the actual content. It's not bad though, just not as good as it used to be. Also there's a presenter on the show who used to be an inter-provincial footballer; think his name is Whooley? Complete spoofer. Can't listen to him. Guests are still good though. Eoin McDevitt had a good rapport with Giles which I don't think Gilroy has.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Reus is Madrid bound

 

[Elchele]

BILD: Reus has already learned Spanish for 3 weeks.

welp

 

[Wilbur]

Holy shit.

This weekend was the first time Borussia Dortmund's first choice back four (Piszczek, Hummels, Subotic and Schmelzer) have played together since the 2013 Champions League final.

That's mad.

 

[Lana Del Rey]

Just went to read some old news and saw this picture

what a horrible thing

 

[Esch]

Transfer fuckery so soon. Can't wait for Arsene to sign 2 midtable Ligue 1 wingers and a left back, and for LVG to sign 2 strikers.

 

[pulga]

Reus is Madrid bound

welp

no pls no

its too much
