There's something oddly endearing about Harlem Shake that I quite like. Fucking hated Gangnam Style, find most memes abhorrent pieces of shit, but I think it's because it's easily digestible I can tolerate it.

Outliving its welcome now though.

My Steam account got hacked way back in the day when Counter-Strike moved to Steam, since then haven't really had a PC capable of playing games, don't even have it installed on my laptop.

Guardian writing bollocks again:

Yes, United were hanging on to a one-goal lead against a Real team fresh from beating Barcelona twice in less than a week. The task was always going to be demanding but few, if anybody, among their supporters could have imagined they would ever see a Manchester United team trapped in its own penalty area at Old Trafford for some 15 minutes with little idea of how to escape.

Compare the way they dealt with going a man down against Real to Chelsea's reaction last season after the same referee had, with more justification, sent off John Terry early in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Barcelona at Nou Camp, Terry having kneed Alexis Sánchez in the back. Chelsea were already a goal down and soon fell further behind yet they sorted themselves out so well that even Lionel Messi could not find a way through and eventually goals from Ramires and Fernando Torres took Roberto Di Matteo's side to the final on a 3-2 aggregate.

Now I have no qualms with the first point. We should have held on better and not lost our heads. But to argue Chelsea did anything but boot the ball away from their box and rely on the heroics of their goal keeper and missed penalties is fucking dumb. It worked, and it was a good game plan in the end, but the article makes it sound like they kept Messi et al out as opposed to him hitting the bar and the entire bunch of cunts just tapping it around the 18 yard box.

Christ.

Download Vector, beats the shit out of Subway Surfers. It's like a side scrolling Mirror's Edge. I'm currently addicted to it.

Would Man Utd fans support trading Rooney for David Villa? Or Alexis Sanchez?

Villa, no. Still great, but too old and injury prone, plus RVP plays in his position. Sanchez - if he played like he did at Udinese then maybe, but not Barca Sanchez.

We were definitely under the kosh for a while, from the sending off to Ron's goal, but it certainly wasn't a relentless siege that we absolutely floundered under. Did well to get a fair few chances after that. Lopez was on meth that night.

Never have I seen a shirt sponsor that so accurately portrays what occupation the manager should be in reality, than Reading's. Store manager of the Slough branch in another life.

We don't need anyone, We've got Adnan ;)


Sir Alex was full of praise for both players: ”Adnan is a beautifully balanced player,” the 71-year-old said of the young Belgian.

“He’s only 18 and still to grow into his frame. But he has good balance, good acceleration and he’s a very good technical player.

“He and Nick, of the younger players, are at the top. They’re very good.

“Nick has had a few injuries and has had a bit of bad luck so we feel Carrington is the best place for him at the moment [rather than sending him out on loan].

“That way, we can work on bringing him on physically and preparing him for next season.”

Reserves boss Warren Joyce was also complimentary of the talented pair: “Nick’s got talent,” he told ManUtd.com.

“He can play anywhere on a football pitch as he’s got really good ability.

“Adnan is still developing but there’s no doubt he’s got talent too. He’s got a good footballing brain and a good touch.

“We’re trying to get him stronger and fitter and he’s getting to know the Manchester United style of play as well.

“He’s grown up a certain way and I think he has had a tremendous education over in Belgium. He’s come over here with good technique and is desperate to be a footballer as well so he’s got a lot of things going for him.”

Chelsea are interested in Niang. Well, too fucking late.

--

In other, more realistic news, PSV wants either Milan or Benfica to play a friendly this summer, to celebrate their 100th birthday. They preferred Barca, but only if Messi came.

There is a massive difference between the way Barca and Madrid play though. We've seen that Barca find it extremely difficult to break down teams who defend deep. Madrid are a bit more direct and have the advantage of players that actually shoot outside the box (fucking Modric).

I don't think it's fair to compare the situations. The circumstances are similar but the teams are not.
