Thiaaaaagoooooo

 

[Broder Salsa]

So Thiago is going to Real?

Enjoy your first team football dickhead.

Even Thiago is leaving the sinking ship.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Nah not really, 12.30am.

did you engage in the conversation?

I know a guy (in real life) who gets extremely turned on by armpits. I swear it isn't me.

I've tried armpits and didn't get anything out of them, I get feet but armpits. Nope.

 

[FootballFan]

Even Thiago is leaving the sinking ship.

He is joining Madrid, not leaving.

 

[FootballFan]

did you engage in the conversation?

No. One guy kept starting his sentences with "srs question:" then proceed to ask very weird/creepy questions.

 

[GorillaJu]

"How would you like to have your picture taken with real Hollywood movieland characters?"

"Are you the smurfs?"
"No, no they're the ambiguously gay duo."

"Oh no no, I assure you there's nothing ambiguous about me. I'm Johnny Storm: the human flamer."

Oh god... I'm in tears. I love Arrested Development.

 

[Yurt]

Rafael Benitez is already a Neapolitan pizza.

 

[D_prOdigy]

PSG want to pay Rooney 300K lol!

I want them to do that also.

Does the new series get any good? I've watched the first 3 episodes and I thought they were very meh.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

No. One guy kept starting his sentences with "srs question:" then proceed to ask very weird/creepy questions.

srs question: what parts of a woman has man not worshiped?

Wait until you get to the Buster episode.

That hand...

It gets much better. It's a very different format and a few episodes only become truly funny the second time around, but it's well worth watching.

 

[FootballFan]

Good night, I'll be back for Barca in 4 hours.

 

[brokenbeans]

You don't miss a game, what an animal!

 

[GorillaJu]

It would appear so. I thought the same way, and it seems weird that what is all written and probably filmed at the same time gets better, but it's been getting pretty good as it goes along.

i found the whole fourth series very meh. Disappointing.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

slow mo sharapova

i found the whole thing very meh. Disappointing.

I agree, only 2 or 3 good episodes.

 

[Can Crusher]

I love Mou. His last game, doesn't even bring Casillas on first team with Lopez injured. Adan is playing hahahaa

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I'll be sad if Thiago goes to RM. Seems a waste. Fact is we can't compete with them financially though.

 

[confuziz]

Where is this Thiago thing confirmed?

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Where is this Thiago thing confirmed?

It's not, just rumours.

 

[Can Crusher]

It's not confirmed that it will happen, but talks are going on according to Marca.

Good move by RM, Thiago is a talent.

 

[Blablurn]

 

[confuziz]

Under 21 European Cup starts in a few days. I think Strootman will be getting a lot of attention.

 

[Dark Rider]

it would be interesting to see who will survive today in La Liga
all 3 clubs can survive or bite the dust


good luck to bayern winning the cup today

 

[LTWheels]

Under 21 European Cup starts in a few days. I think Strootman will be getting a lot of attention.

Henderson will be leading us to glory.

 

[Wes]

Finally found somewhere to watch QPRs the Four Year Plan online. Didn't realise when they sacked Dowie he had the best win percentage of any manager they've ever had.

Really good doc so far.

It's brilliant :lol Flavio Briatore is an absolute nutter the way he talks about players/managers behind their backs.

Silliness. You absolutely can.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Silliness. You absolutely can.

I would say they have approximately twice the transfer budget maybe just under twice the wage budget we have.

Be that as it may, we would both be offering the 18 million Euros, but they can be more unrestricted with his wages.

That wouldn't be the only reason we'd miss out, being completely honest.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I guess RM appear more prestigious than us (to a Spaniard at least)? That and he may prefer to stay in Spain, which may be a large part of it.

I guess a player might be more interested in working with Ancelotti than Moyes :lol

I would say that Manchester United is willing to pay about half of what Real Madrid would be willing to pay - and it's not because you are unable to compete with them financially, it's that your board actually knows how to run a club and understands that no player is worth the kind of silly money Real throws at players sometimes.

I guess RM appear more prestigious than us? That and he may prefer to stay in Spain, which may be a large part of it.

Aside from staying in Spain, the whole set-up at Real is in Spanish. He's also a bit slight, don't you think? He may not fancy the idea of adapting to the physicality of the Premier League.

 

[Kyoufu]

Better restaurants in Madrid.

Definitely more prestigious, Real Madrid is the "biggest" club in the world, there's no doubt about it.

But yes, certainly the fact that it's Spain and everything else that comes with that.

 

[santi_yo]

Pabon and Ibarbo on the bargain bin. Arsene pls

We enjoyed Dorlán Pabon this year at Real Betis. He's a GREAT player. He scored 8 goals in 14 matches.

Eh if you account for Asian countries, United could definitely be seen as "bigger" or "more prestigious" than Real. The amount of Man United fans in China, India, Malaysia, Korea, etc. is absolutely staggering.

For fans maybe but I think for players Real Madrid is still the pinnacle.

So many players are desperate to play there even when it's obvious there are better alternatives for their careers - they want to go to RM and see if they can make it there.

There are obv other factors too, lifestyle and money the main ones.

 

[Clegg]

Spanish press are saying Thiago has no intention of going to Madrid.

Spain is in a really shitty situation now

 

[TeegsD]

Spain is in a really shitty situation now

Is it really that bad for young adults that have more money than they know what to do with?

 

[Clegg]

Lions match over. Won 59-8.

Mike Phillips MoTM.

Owen Farrell had a proper shocker. Was poor in the first half and even worse in the second.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Pabon and Ibarbo on the bargain bin. Arsene pls

Would you look at that, the most valuable ones are all ex-Porto players



Next one is gonna be Quintero

 

[Frank the Great]

luis muriel is going to be a star

also ibarbo is amazing, i love that guy. he's such a beast and a great dribbler.

 

[K1LLER7]

He'll get a lot of hate from Barca fans if he does move to Madrid. Either way, United need to find 2 quality midfielders this summer. Moysey step it up!!

 

[Suen]

Jesus fuck Wernbloom! Suen, get your man in line.

I missed it, was sleeping

CSKA won thanks to Wernbloom's red card. His northern viking aura lifted the team to victory and with one man less they realized they had to give it everything to win. Him off the pitch gave them that extra boost, Wernbloom was the reason for all the success <3

He isn't/won't. And if he does, he will be shit, they will expect him to replace Khedira or something lol.

Not like it's particularly hard to replace Khedira anyway.

Years long lurker first time poster, my first post on gaf is in football gaf thread

nice to be able to talk to you all instead of just reading

Welcome! Nice to have more people in Madrid-GAF here! Don't get yourself banned like the other Madrid-junior few months ago!

I love Mou. His last game, doesn't even bring Casillas on first team with Lopez injured. Adan is playing hahahaa

Masterful trolling by him. So he set up a B-team for our last game :lol. I hope we lose so we finish the season with the ultimate meltdown. Funny thing, most of the prima donnas are gone from this XI :looool

He's been poor since losing to Wales.

loooool

I don't think the reaction would be as bad. They loved Figo after all.

Thank you and it's scary out here

I don't want to lose the final match because I don't want barca to get 18 points ahead like we did to them few seasons back.

 

[Slizz]

Best game on today is the USWNT vs. Canada. Rematch of the Olympic finals, fuck Barca vs. Malaga.
