Lol what? Don't think he's being a dick at all. You'd have to be a real tight ass to think those awards are insulting.
I can definitely see some similarities between the two.

I WANT to like The Last of Us but it looks so ordinary, odd.
NOT ZOMBIES IN A WASTELAND AGAIN
Nah those awards weren't dick moves. And the Witcher devs are so cool.
Every single championship and league one club has been linked with, it is so annoying.
Cough up anything near a million and he is yours.

I didn't say he was being a dick, I'd imagine that's a much harsher insult. Just a general jerk really.
But you saw how excited they were? They must have been really disappointed to see that the award wasn't just "game of the show" or whatever.
Vote for Shelvey in The Guardian's latest season review poll. His effort is certainly deserving of being no 1:

Leitner has gone to Stuttgart on loan it seems. 2 years.

Always thought it was a Yowie but the Pilliga Princes is more of a ghost than anything else. Poor guy
I'd not heard of it. Australia is pretty dense with this kind of stuff. Overpopulated coastline, fuck all but darkness and presumably monsters as you go inland.
I wrote a magazine article about the "home of the yowie" last year. The yowie statue they have in town is pretty non-fearsome.
We got to get some of that in UK GAF

Shinji will join the team for pre-season even though he should be resting due to confeds.

What's the home of the yowie exactly because they've been sighted all over Australia, even Tasmania

Somehow I knew it'd be in Queensland. That statue must be some kind of joke

Nah, he will probably rest, but will be with the team because United will be in Japan.

Well, um, apparently Darren Fletcher is back sooner than expected...
It's going to happen again isn't it?

Does this mean we're keeping Anderson for another year?
And then Strootman signs for a different PL club and has a stormer of a season. That shit always happens.
Moysey better sort things out. Marchisio/Fellaini/Thiago pls.

i just had the luckiest season in FM13 ever. almost no injuries, won almost every game. finally won the CL for the first time (i've never won it in any FM before.) scored with two misplaced back passes, and an own goal, to beat man shitty 3-1 LOL. feels good, after some of the shit luck i've had in other seasons with injuries and whatnot.
finished the league with 107 points, lololol.
also, to show how realistic FM is, alberto paloschi was man of the match in the CL final, and francesco acerbi lifted the trophy as captain.

I stopped watching a while back.Ugh can't watch Question Time anymore. So bad. Then I saw this in the Guardian, and realised why.
Shows why.
Feels like at some point in time the show realised that it was actually very popular and have subtly moved towards entertainment rather than debate. I'm sure it's circumstance and coincidence more than anything but yeah it just leaves you with petty point scoring and then somebody trying to be funny.
They deleted my comment, WTF!
Before I went to bed last night, I wrote something to the extent of, "This article reads more as an indictment of your worthiness to have a column on sport than anything." and it had like 15 upvotes in 10 minutes.. gone! Those assholes.
Going by what I've read elsewhere I think you're overrating Strootman quite a bit.
Too similar to Carrick. Bit slow. Not the quickest of feet. Good range of passing and can track back.
Would prefer Thiago.

Modric the latest from the RM camp to speak about Bale.

We need both.
I think most people don't really understand what type of player Strootman is. Feels like they watch him and expect dynamite and magic, amazing passes and surging runs. That's not his game. It reminds me of when we signed Carrick actually.
BTW - His agent has said today that his future will be decided after the u21's - so we will know soon enough either way whether he is leaving or staying at PSV.
We need someone new in midfield because right now our options aren't good enough.
From what I've seen of Strootman he's calm on the ball and does a decent job of screening the defence.

This is bullshit, the last of us is sold out everywhere
United fans are so desperate for a CM at this stage some are salivating over anyone, not that Strootman is a bad player but he's not going to add that much quality to our midfield. The sort of money being talked about him (I believe I saw £17.5m at one stage) is frankly crazy.
If you're linked to United being a centre mid from the Eredivise you had best be dominating the majority of matches and just running the show. He doesn't do that.
I'd rather give youth a chance than splurge silly money on him.
Mediocrity?
But we have no one in our youth set up that can do the job we need in midfield.

Well how good he is/isn't is something we will find out in due time.
I would disagree when you say he wouldn't add much quality though. He is a far superior player to Cleverley or Anderson. Jones and Giggs shouldn't even be playing in CM so I won't even bother comparing him to them.
BTW I agree £17m is a bit steep but he's easily worth something like £12-£13m IMO. £17m would be a bit steep but we tend to over-pay anyways.
Cavani is going to go to Madrid. I'm still confident about Isco though.
I don't really see why we'd need more than Aguero and Dzeko next season as we really will only need a CF. Let Guidetti get some chances as a sub.
-------------Aguero/Dzeko--------------
Silva ------------ Isco ----------- Navas
------------ Ferna ---- Yaya -------------
Clichy --- Kompany - Nastasic --- Zaba
----------------- Hart ---------------------
Or..
Silva ------ Aguero/Dzeko ------ Navas
--------- Yaya ------------- Isco ---------
------------------- Ferna ------------------
Clichy --- Kompany - Nastasic --- Zaba
----------------- Hart ---------------------
Good to go.

I think Strootman would be an upgrade over Cleverley and Anderfat (that's not saying much), but he's not someone I'm excited about. We can do better than him.
Frankly, I want someone who can provide a spark to the team. Someone who can win matches. That's what is needed to compete in Europe.
Bro, we have Fabio and we can still buy back Park. Not needed.

Guidetti is made of glass, and Dzeko is wank. You can't mount a title challenge with those players as your primary goal-scorers. It's too risky.
I honestly think if we go 4-3-3 that Dzeko is more suited than Aguero because it'd be great to have a TM for Navas' crosses.. but we'll see. Cavani is of course a preference but at this point unlikely at best. Guidetti should be good to go next season. They just let him heal up once we got back to training which was probably for the best.
Ideal scenario is we flip Dzeko for Lewa.
