Erm Carrol FREE sold for 35 Million, Cabaye 5 M sold for 18 Million, Debuchy 5M sold for (maybe) 12 Million. Not a good argument, stick to Pardew being a lying c**t. Much safer ground. Erm, you're actually crediting Pardew for Carrol;D

What's Scolari's reaction been like? Had to go to work and not many articles are up yet.

Germany vs Messi would be amazing. I know a couple of Germans that absolutely fucking hate the Argentinians as well. Pretty sure they hate the Dutch more. They love the Dutch, it's why it's usually one of their first ports of call whenever they get a bit frisky and decide to invade someone.

I don't get it?

I would imagine the Russians know how to cover their tracks, bribery is the only thing that gets you anywhere there, it's ingrained into their culture. The Qataries would have covered up as well this it's easier to follow the trail wit their bid, as I said earlier FIFA fucked it up in anyway by practically admitting it was rigged by their voting. Russia wouldn't have left a trail of e-mails and bank transactions, just shadowy men appearing in hotel rooms with bags of money.

If you just count the two games against the All Whites, they qualified at a canter. Didn't even need to use their overseas players or anything.

Like how the doesn't even let the translator finish before answering in English, then switches from English to Spanish mid answer towards the end suddenly goes from "yes" to "si"

Apparently it's just a tactic he uses when dealing with the media. Speaks pretty good English the rest of the time.

Pardew does that with every team we face. Meh, he's our manager and I support him because I am obligated to. I do not take the piss out of people just because they fail at their jobs, that removes them of their agency as a person. I don't think i've ever seen someone surrender an arguement so quickly and meekly before.

They have, though. Last season they finished 3rd and won the Europa League with a manager none of their cuntish fans wanted. I don't think he's done an awful job, just a poor one, fwiw. Wait a minute. You think going to semi finals in Champions League is an achievement worse than winning the Europa League? Or it is a wind up? Ronaldo was claiming that during Mourinhos first season with Madrid as well. Apparently finishing runner up in the La Liga, winning the Copa Del Rey and losing in the Champions League semi finals was a step backwards from finishing runner up in the La Liga, getting knocked out 4-1 by a 3rd division team in the Copa Del Rey and getting knocked out in the Round of 16 by Lyon in the Champions League. Well, no, none of that's remotely true, but I'll play along. I think all I ever said after Mourinho's first, underwhelming, season at Real is that they were far more watchable, and accumulated more points in the league with Pellegrini and the swap was a daft decision. It was, by the way. Anyway, Real have the best of the best managing them now while Mourinho's finishing 3rd with Chelsea and bitching about referees hurting them by audaciously giving penalties to the opposition. Things are as they should be. I am suprised you don't like Mourinho Ronaldo. Seems like he is cut from the same pompous cloth you are. In fact, I can't envision anyone on the planet that matches Mourinho's bloated self-importance and warped sense of reality as well as yourself. I think what angers Ronaldo is that Mourinho gets lauded for it while people just call him out on it.

Wait a minute. You think going to semi finals in Champions League is an achievement worse than winning the Europa League? Or it is a wind up? What would you prefer? They're not progressed one bit this season. So you're essentially marking Mourinho down for not finishing 3rd in his Champions League group?

Probably the best place for it tbh, it's the best stadium for soccer in the country as it's rectangle and it's indoors as well, which will be handy since it will the middle of winter here. I'm thinking more along the lines of something out of Once Were Warriors.

Only have to look at Man United to see what a difference a manager can make. Baffles me how people give Pardew a free pass like you say. Everton too. For ten years they've been a very solid, functional good but rather dull team. Mainly the same players still there and a year later they're giving Arsenal (and us) a complete arse-kicking. They've been doing that to us (and a few of the big sides) for years, to be honest. Yeah, no they haven't. Ah yeah they have. Haven't you seen Moye's glorious 0 from 47 record away at Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2541555/Chelsea-v-Manchester-United-David-Moyes-never-won-away-match-four-Jose-Mourinho-unbeaten-home.html

Unless you're that Costa Rican striker, who can buy 100 packs and not even get himself.

Phone is a mag.

Yep, lord knows that if anyone is going to hate the English, it's going to be a Northern Irishman.

£12 million Rising to £14 million including add ons http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19256084 :spit take: That is absolutely ludicrous! £36 million for a non-scoring forward line has to be unprecedented. I've been cautiously optimistic about their fate, but surely, given their remaining fixtures......it's Yeovil time. How about 35 million for just a non-scoring forward (Remember when Liverpool were a joke )? I said 36 million. Ergo, my point stands. 35 million pounds > 36 million euro? Genuine question, was always never sure of the exchange rates.

Absolutely. Without the cheating it would've been 4-2. Man, if you want to locate a such large portion of you self-esteem in the actions of a random footballer wouldn't p*ss on you if you were thirsty, that's fine. Bit tiresome to read about it again and again, though. :lol: How any of this has to do with any footballer I don't know, but don't worry, your darling Carlo will probably win the league anyways. Least this will put the 'Mourinho single handily ruined Spanish football' cries to bed. Both teams seem to be doing just fine in that department without him

I'd say the manager had something to do with it somewhat. So what did the manager change from the previous two seasons which resulted in 11th place finishes.

So you're old enough to be in the pub, but you're not old enough to remember 2007?

Rooney is a) Comparable to Messi and b) should be dropped for Danny Welbeck

It is truly magical. Not like Mourinho set a single season points and goals scored record while beating Pep's Barcelona to the title or anything with this squad (less the additional 170 million pounds worth of talent they added this year of course).
