This Netherlands kit is lovely looking.

Out of all the new kits I love this one most

Collar looks good. I have this one of last years:

Is that going to be the new crest for US's team? Looks a lot better and classier than the previous one they had:


Nike are on a roll. They've been releasing a lot of nice kits lately.
sadly no, its only because this year is US Soccer's centenary. The (awful) current logo is on the inside of the kit.

A current Liverpool player scored one, and a future Liverpool player scored a brace. That's all you need to know.

(Zaha was okay, not spectacular, had a decent effort saved)

He was just alright. He started the game as a striker seemed to struggle as it wasn't his natural position. He had a decent moment when he controlled the ball, spun on the spot and had a shot at goal. Keeper save it though.

Tom Ince was the best player on the pitch. Shelvey missed an open goal from 2 feet away. It was one of the worst misses I've ever seen. On par with Gervinho vs Bradford. Zaha took a minor injury and was subbed off in the 55th minute.

Shelvey's Incredible Miss

Read a couple of pages back for everyone's opinions. Says it all.

So he was average. Wasn't expecting him to be the finished article, but I guess Fergie's seen something in him to pay 15m. Hopefully we get to see him perform well in his preferred position when he joins United in the summer.

Shelvey miss looks worse than Gervinho's :p

His performance was likened to that of Bebe's. High praise indeed. Big things in store for the lad.

Know whats better than Bebe? 2 Bebe's...

The footballing world isn't ready for 2 Bebe's. FIFA would ban us from playing both at the same time.

Speaking to Dutch TV, Van Persie also feels the training at Old Trafford has taken his game to the next level:

“The way he (Meulensteen) trains is exceptional.

“He is truly one of the best coaches in the world. I have had a lot of good trainers, but it’s the way he prepares our team for games. Every match is different, so every training session in the build-up to games is unique.



“We know exactly what to expect and he wins points for us through his training. We’ve won a lot of games by the odd goal and they are point winners, which we train for. For instance, against Chelsea I scored after a low cross from Antonio Valencia on the right. It might seem a fluke, but the whole week before the game was spent working on that move.

“Another example is my goal against Wigan, when I cut the ball inside and shot with my right foot. Again this situation, we trained on.

“Training is really good. It’s a very pleasant environment to work in.

“Every day I work on new things,” Van Persie said. “I become alert to small details that make me better. I go into work every day whistling. From the first day, they have made me feel welcome, the boys made me feel right at home.

“I feel better and fitter. In the last week, I played Wednesday and Saturday. In those games I played with ease.”

Mullericecream better have told him to tap up Strootz in one of these training sessions.

Whoah. Asian Betting ring Shelvey bet confirmed.

Gaf is a weird place at times, especially over on gaming. This cult of Kaz Hirai infatuation they have going on is a bit weird but funny all the same....Then again I clicked into the My Little Pony community thread earlier by mistake and I think I may of been living under a rock for quite some time.

Had no idea it had made such a comeback.

Just wait until you click on the furry thread, that's like what the MLP guys evolved to after a while when they finally accept the want nothing more than a roided up dog.

I heard that phrase a lot in recent years. :p

Ancelotti will probably go to Madrid. I think it will be a good move for him.

Mourinho at PSG. <3

Michelangelo at Madrid? Not sure how to feel about that. I guess it could be worse (Benítez)

Oh man. This has been a fantastic week for embarrassing football incidents.

You just knew a Berlusconi had to get involved.

Got my England 66 shirt on.

I look forward to some frenzied back-pedaling on claims made for Jack Wilshere's greatness.

Do you actually watch Arsenal? It doesn't matter how the team plays, Wilshere is pretty much always the best player in either team's midfield. Not sure if that'll be true in a Hodgson team, he's more likely to get a neck-sprain than any possession, but its true for Arsenal.

He's brilliant.

Unlike United, Arsenal actually have a competent central midfield. It's every other goddamn position that's the problem.
 
I kind of regret letting Ince go now, even though we were right to refuse to his
Dad's
terms. I hope we tried everything we could to get him to stay outside of just paying him the wages of a first-teamer.

Got a bad feeling that our supposedly certain move for him will go wrong, or Spurs/Arsenal will scupper us.

My word, Children of Men is a fucking masterpiece of a movie. I have no idea why it took me six years to watch it again. Do yourself a favour and get the blu-ray, if you haven't seen it yet. A fucking modern classic.

lol, none of those have the merits to go to Madrid. Ancelotti's PSG plays like shit and Wenger hasn't won a title with Arsenal in several years
Because Arsenal don't have the players. Madrid have the players and the money to buy whoever they like. Wenger would achieve heaps with Madrid, in saying that I hope he doesn't go there.

Cuaron is a genius. That tracking shot, man.

It's crazy to think he hasn't directed a film since then.

Fuck Belgium if Vermaelen plays this match. We need him fit for Sunderland and even then he's a major doubt. Why is he even with the national team when he is clearly not fit?
