Phew thank goodness
and honestly if they don't start in FUCKING COPPA ITALIA THEN FUCKING WHEN? They might as well hand in a transfer request after the game if they don't play
---------Elbuyback----
--Giovinco/Pereyra---Coman
or
Elbuyback--Coman
-------Vidal/Pereyra-----
should be something like this right

Haha, I never HATED Del Boy when he played for Jube, just always pissed that he wasdog shite in the final of 2000.
Henry is a chump, going on about playing for Arsenal for the rest of his career and a few months later is off, after collecting a huge signing on bonus from Arsenal the previous summer. My Arsenal captain will always be Mr Adams.
I just saw Sass's squad. Fuck me Milan are shocking.
What do you guys think about Di Francesco? I didnt watch them a whole lot of tumes last year, but this year I have and always enjoy what I see. Both years he has overcame dreadful starts to get them playing nice football with great results. Can't be long before a big team comes in for him.
Milan
If they like each other then why didn't either one of them vote for the other? Sums up their views on the importance of the award and their feelings about each other
Sunderland are paying Defoe how much?
I'd rather have Sanogo. Stupid money has put Palace in administration twice during the time I've supported them, and I'd rather not go down that route again.
José Enrique might be joining us on loan though. I would have him.
I presume that's Liverpools Jose Enrique, where have you heard about that? Do you have a link?
Guessing Pardew wants his old team back together and we want Enrique out.

Leverkusen is a joke of a club
Because there was some rain and thunder outside they trained inside the hotel lol
Bayern would have just payed God to change the weather
I agree actually, at the end of the day he did leave for Barcelona.
Zeman-lite.
Im sure our players would have trained in the train. They are not weak...
Hm.
Maybe I'm wrong.

That seems a bit harsh. He has done a good job with that back line and that Inter scorline does them a great injustice. Take that game away and they would have the third best defensive record, only conceeded more than 2 goals twice all season.

He's getting better, and really convinced the fans last match against Tottenham, playing left back.
Yeah he played pretty well at left back for us as well. He has a different style on that flank, moves in a bit more and passes the ball instead of trying to bomb forward to cross over and over.

Mostly twitter rumours, but it's being spread by the fans who usually are reliable.
Would post a link if my Android phone wasn't this awful with copy/paste.
No, no! Forget the stats, the way their back line concedes is absolutely shocking, fucking amateur stuff really. It's like they don't even practice defending at all, there's no cohesion or anything back there. How many times did they fuck up their leads so far? They should probably be as high as 4th :lol and 4 clean sheets in like 18 games, come on.
our defense is fucking awful too despite only conceding 9 goals.
Looks like Adnan is finished at United. No doubt he'll still be a brilliant player, but maybe not at United now.
Not in LvG's plans and will probably go on loan. Half expect him to stay there when the loan finishes too. Still highly rated by a lot of European clubs too. PSG still have interest in him. Swap him for Rabiot or something.

True if you just look at them. But the whole league is full of dog shite defending. They seem to be doing a decent job
I genuinely think Vieri could rock up tomorrow and end up to capocannonierie
After giving our club the best years of his career.

Eureka!
edit: Wouldn't write Adnan's #prospects off at Man Utd just yet, definitely needs a loan though
we bought him to weaken the opposition.
I dunno, it's not like he was shit when he left., he wasn't.
Fair enough, because they're clearly better than the circus of last season

Sounds like Fletcher to WBA is gaining traction. Yes pls.

I've got a better idea.
Why doesn't Van Gaal go on fucking loan.

Looking at those photos of Notch's house is odd to me.
I'm jealous as fuck of the amount of money he has obvsly, but he seems to have spent it on things I definitely wouldn't.
So, how would you spend £2bn or whatever it was?
I think I'd buy a country estate in the Lake District or somewhere. Definitely wouldn't move to Hollywood or buy a load of cars and flashy stuff like that. Maybe even buy an Xbox One so I can finally play the Halo series
Imagine how many hangers-on must turn up when they realise you're that flush.

THought I'd be jealous, but honestly, not really, not that I wouldn't like 2bn but it all looked empty excess to me. Its a nice house with a nice view but that's pretty much it.

B-Rod would have made him world class by now
Who do Villa play when Ciaran Clark is unavailable? He's suspended on Saturday I think. No excuse if we don't win that, even if it is away against a team that normally have us easily figured out, tactically.
Cottage somewhere nice. I'd have a subterranean five-a-side pitch.
Notch photos look like a car dealership.

3-5-2 to accommodate shit defenders and an over abundance of strikers is causing both our play and our squad problems.

I'd buy a Batmobile
I get it for people who are car nuts like Jay Leno, but sometimes it seems like celebrities just run out of things to spend their money on, and just buy a load of cars.
edit: Jesus, Man Utd fans fell out of love with Van Gaal quicker than we did with Rodgers
dat love never really left, it was just trapped under concern and worry

That house is pretty amazing.
8 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms though. Pls. Too open plan for my liking, also.
I'd buy a town house in London before building my empire elsewhere.

Not fallen out of love for him, just think it's how he's decided to deal with a currently unbalanced squad. Just think he should consider alternatives which dont involve shoe-horning all our most expensive players in to the first XI.

House somewhere here at home, maybe Helens Bay or Cultra. Maybe a place in London.
Invest some of the rest. If I had that silly amount of money I know I'd want more.
Good chance that two strikers and maybe Mata will be moved on. Chance for Adnan then I suppose. Unless we bin him too.

We won't be playing 3-5-2 next season - and hopefully not even by the end of this window.
Relax.

Bin RVP, use Falcao. He's great.
Get rid of the 3-5-2.
Seriously, if you have both Di Maria and Falcao, and still choose Valencia/Young to supply crosses or lead on the wing, you're just destroying every attacking potential you have.

Falcao really hasn't shown enough so far to justify signing him. I find it hard to even argue for him starting. I feel a lot of the support for him is being based on previous reputation, and whilst that's understandable, I don't think it's a justifiable reason based on what we've seen so far.
Most other clubs would've bitten Mendes' hand off to get Falcao. I suspect there is a reason they haven't.
