Where as I'm cursed with the Pilko-cancer for eternity. There's no justice in this world.

I don't think its a particularly good idea that we stuck to 2 set teams like this, it just intensifies the clique-ness of it all. BUT, if we were meant to stick to a team, then nixon swapping is pretty uncool.

Dino will probably play if I pursuade him (i.e. tell him no-one cares if he's shit), but I will predict he just hasn't looked at this thread yet.

Don't worry about it, I'll be nowhere near SJP.

You played, well. I was talking bout people like Nixon, he had more technique than Zidane What is with that comma! That doesn't say "you played well" it says "you played .... welll"

I'm confused! We were all technique and no legs? I've not no technique! ALL IVE GOT ITS LEGS! :'(

You reckon we can get another 9 people to follow suit? We can recreate some form of super team.

FYP

Anyone know of a torrent doing the rounds? I'm over in Oz and haven't got Foxtel. This, would really appreciate it if I could see this and can't find it anywhere. You people. This is not legal chatter!

Isn't it mid-season for the RO Irish league? I'm assuming some of the Northern Irish internationals play in said league? I don't really know tbh, but if thats the case then the timing of this international isn't so terrible.

Aye I was fairly certain a double digit number was the way to go. I like the Championship numbers myself, so basically relegation was the best thing ever.

Bought at club shop, mainly due to the hatred of queuing up at Sports Direct with 230 charvers. http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/2480/dscn4148.jpg

There are people at the front of each crowd section showing them what they're supposed to do with their arms etc as well Looks sweet like.

So, how many people are watching North Korea vs Iran on Eurosport? I wonder if relevant dignitaries are at the match? If so, there is a definite '2 birds with 1 stone' opportunity for the US.

There maybe a big difference between Prem & Champ football, but there isn't a big difference between Prem & Champ season ticket prices...

I don't think you'll get anything till a couple of weeks before the season

Put in a drawer until the season after next Sponsor will be old... kit could well be old...

Retro? Please show me the decade in which people wore shit that looked that woeful.

Then you won't want the new numbers... And there are already pics in this thread.

In the summer he said he wanted to go to Liverpool and it was purely about wanting CL football, nothing to do with money He's just gone to Man City, who won't be playing any type of European football next season, without even seeing if the Liverpool interest materialised again. I wonder what could have changed his mind. I think he's gone for the money... BUT I just get annoyed that no-one gets that Man City are an attractive club as they offer a good chance of being a 'big' club, fast. Alot better than anyone else outside of the top 4.

Transfer done. Barry is a City player. SSN.

Some people are deluded about the attractiveness of going to Man City. Everyone complains that money has made the Premier League uncompetitive with the top 4 being the same year in year out. It's a perfectly acceptable complaint. Anyway, Man City now have the kind of money available to help them break the top 4. Yet when this new money comes in, no-one seems to recognize the ambition that the club has, just the fact that they have money. Alot of clubs have this ambition of course, but the fact of the matter is they will never match their ambition due to the financial strength of the top teams. Man City now have an opportunity to build and to become a massive club, why do people not see this? p.s. that doesn't mean G.Barry isn't in it for the money, but no-one ever considers that he could see Man City as a club with a much greater chance of achieving a top 4 place, as tbh Aston Villa aren't going to get there anytime soon.

They're buying the second tier of player though aren't they? Can't see them breaking the top 3 without making proper world-class signings. Robinho was arguably one, when he's on his game, but Barry is a step down from Lampard, Gerrard and the like. Suppose it is a good start though, if they can get into the CL then they can go for the true big hitters. Yeah he's not quite a world beater, but they've gotta build the squad. If they get in a world class centre back (or a ageing one..) and a world class out-and-out striker, they'll make for a very decent team. Oh, and they should sign Buffon. Would be funny as fuck.

Good shit this is. I like Man City trying to carve out a super team. As annoying as it is that this is necessary nowadays, at least it'll mess up the status quo at the top.. maybe.
