If you guys want dc love get on Whatsapp, although Wilbury hasn't added Hitcher since I've asked him. I think he hates Hitcher.

Whoops I keep forgetting to do it. Will do it when I'm home. Busy right now
If you're watching, rewind to the first he reads out. The sender's name is Jake, from Crawley. Basically bashed Spurs a bit (a Spurs fan had bashed Jose earlier) and expressing my happiness at the appointment.
Don't think Zaha will be enough, especially first year in the PL. I'm extremely hopeful Valencia is starting to get back in to form. He looked better in the last 3 games in the PL and looked decent for Ecuador. Hopefully he can get back to 2 years ago form.

I feel like as his career ended, Ferguson's signings got worse and worse, with the exceptions of Berbatov, RVP, and Hernandez. I guess he never lost his touch when it came to finding strikers.
I personally don't think Zaha will be looked at as a good transfer in a few years. Looking at all these signings going back, if I were a United fan I'd be relatively excited to see what kind of names come in with a new manager.

I haven't been able to find anything to back this up, but I think Scolari had a 4 year deal, afterwards Carlo/AVB both got 3 year deals, RDM was 2... seems the club think he might actually be around for a while?!
Fuck :/

That list is no worse than any other team's recent transfers. Sinclair, Bentley, Downing, we've all bought some cloggers over the years. But Fergie generally gets even the shit players to contribute something.

Are you scared Messi?
All these are good signings or too early to call it. Valencia and Berbatov have both contributed massively to title wins, Pogba was a good signing but something fucked up.

What's the story with him? Tapped up from some French club, never really got a chance but obviously is good enough for Juventus and is storming it over there. Was there some falling out or was he just overlooked because he didn't seem good enough?

So glad Mourinho's back. Now I really wish Fergie had stayed around for another 2-3 years.

They feature the championship over here. Dat Zaha step over
Fergie was easing him in, slower than Pogba would have liked and using Scholes who came back and played well. I'm pretty confident Pogba would have played this season a lot but he left and he's doing well so fair play to him.
Very much so. I've only seen to s03ep1.facebook heavily implied spoilers today :/

If you look at the list of players he signed between 2002-2006 the above looks incredible.
He wasn't playing particularly well for our reserves that season. Some feel he wasn't giving it his all because he thought he was too good for the reserves despite only just moving up to that level.
Then he asked for a shed load of money even though he'd barely played any senior football at all.

Yeah Arya, her character has really grown on me her stuff with The Hound is great.
I read an article on why George R. R. Martin wrote this part this little bit stood out:
What sort of reactions have you received from readers over the years about the scene?
Extreme. Both positive and negative. That was the hardest scene I’ve ever had to write. It’s two-thirds of the way through the book, but I skipped over it when I came to it. So the entire book was done and there was still that one chapter left. Then I wrote it. It was like murdering two of your children. I try to make the readers feel they’ve lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it’s a superficial experience isn’t it?
I’m pretty sure I know the answer to this, but: Have you ever regretted the scene?
Martin: No. Not as a writer. It’s probably the most powerful scene in the books. It cost me some readers, but gained me many more.
He's not afraid to throw in a twist like that and upset some viewers.

Thing is, if you want to pick up another Ronaldo sifting through young talent you're gonna have to put up with a few wingers that turn out to be Bebe 2.0

Last of Us multiplayer seems potentially interesting, if a little throwaway and more unique in its combination of common traits than anything in particular
I hope no one saw what I just did, I quoted my own spoiler and didn't know it un-spoilered the whole thing!
I'm just gonna quit talking about it now, I'm off to play some LoL.

I can see many who will stop now. I feel like, I will unlikely stop, but it feels like I would.
Many characters has died in the show but Robb especially was done in a way that feels like he's the peoples' hero. The Starks in general feel so, genuinely didn't expect anyone to get the Throne but him. He felt, for the most part, like the main character in the show.
I wonder where the show will go from here, I mean this is only the third book.

He was my inspiration
Welcome back!
Pretty pleased that things are going as planned. Our roster should begin to take shape now that he's in the building on a daily basis. I expect a few players to go and at least three signing's to come in at minimum.
One thing I'm certain about, we're a much stronger team now than we were in 2004.
Jose signed five players that summer: Drogba, Carvalho, Ferreria, Kezman & Robben. While all five of them were very good at the time, I think the current players (Drog & Ricky being the exception because they were world beaters then) are better. Robben was brilliant when healthy, but Mata is already better in two seasons than Robben ever was with us.
Anyway, excited to see what he does first. I'm going to the game in New York on August 4th. It could be against Milan or Valencia.
Sounds like a terrible 2 Chainz song. So a 2 Chainz song.
