Life is pretty good when king Muppet is driving, and we have the biggest pockets.

Bring it on.
 
on the transfer alert tab, quite a few foreign tweets with no english underneath which can be quite annoying.

Hoping we have more good times in here this summer. Reflecting on past good times and remembered this from summer 2013 :lol: Taken from the Thiago thread in the Classics threads but I feel it deserves a repost. Credit to @Solius for this brilliance.

The red curtain had been in front of the press since they entered the room. Voices whisper and mutter, echoing around the room with wonder. Today is the first day of David Moyes reign as Manchester United manager. It had been 15 minutes since the journalists were allowed in, when suddenly the lights dimmed.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the moment you have all been waiting for..."

Silence.

Celebration by Kool and the Gang starts to play. The curtain lifts. There is a runway.

The music kicks up a notch... the announcers voice comes back on.

"Introducing, our first new signing. All the way from Barcelona. THIIIAAAAAAGOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Boom! Confetti bursts from the runway, Thiago comes out. He's on rollerskates wearing Man Utd speedos. He screeches to a stop at the end of the platform and does a wink and point. He skates back to the side of the runway and dances on the spot.

"Coming up next, signing number two.... KEVIN STROOOOOOOOOTMAAAAAN"

Confetti launches from the stage again, but Strootman is nowhere to be seen. The reporters gasp as they notice him ziplining from the rafters to the stage. Also sporting Man Utd speedos, he lands like a graceful swan, turns around and belts out a rendition of Oh Robin Van Persie.

The music is still blaring. "CEEEELEEBRAAATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON!". At this point the press are swaying side to side and clapping.

"Time for signing number three. We have no need for him but we signed him anyway. IT'S GARRRAAAAAYYYYYYYY!".

More confetti. Garay, donning United speedos, backflips down the stage. It's the greatest thing some of these reporters have ever seen. He flexes at the mic and then joins Thiago and Strootman in dancing at the side of the stage. They form a guard of honor.

"Time for the piece de resistance, people. Meet the man who made this all possible. DAVVVIIIIIDDDD.....MOOOOOYYYYEEEESSSS!!"

fecktonnes of confetti rain down. Moyes is in a bitching suit. He struts down the runway like a don, reaches the mic and signals for the music to stop. Suddenly everyone notices the human shaped object right by the mic that has been there the whole time. It is draped in a red sheet.

Silence. Moyes stares at the press. One journalist cannot take his death stare and runs out of the room crying.

Moyes grabs the sheet, and pulls.

It's Cristiano Ronaldo.

BOOM. the music kicks back on. Confetti is absolutely everywhere. Moyes rips off his entire suit in one move to reveal United speedos. He's also wearing rollerskates, nobody noticed this. Ronaldo, also in United speedos, starts dancing. Moyes does the best move everyone has ever seen. He is joined by all his new signings as they strut around the stage.

"CEEEELLLLEEBRRAAATTE GOOOOOD TIIIMES, COME ON!"

May be you should learn the basics of some other languages. And it's not far from English, is it? French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, they all have come from Latin and are quite similar.

El Celta, muy cerca de fichar a Unzué como sucesor de Berizzo

Do you really need translation that Celta is linked with Unzue as successor to Berizzo ?!
 
Arsenal losing Sanchez and playing in the Europa League, Wenger staying another year and buying some unknown French talents. Excellent

Feck :lol:

Missing out on top 4, losing the FA Cup final, Wenger signing a new deal and Alexis leaving for Bayern.....things could get real crazy over at Arsenal in the next week.

Keita Balde would be a coup for Atleti, top talent.

He's meant to be a bit of a dick though, party lad. I'm sure Simeone will smack some sense in him, or smack him up and kick him to the curb!

Sanchez agent is in Munich, officially to give his other client Vidal a birthday cake. :nervous:
 
“Of course I want to play. I want to be on the pitch, of course. A younger me would have been a lot more frustrated. I think I understand what’s right and what’s needed for the club, and I respect that. Obviously I’m happy to be part of that and in some way help the club win trophies, and that’s the way it’s been over the last year. That’s the decision I have to make now - whether I want to continue doing that or go on and play more regular football.”

Rooney was then asked whether, deep down, he had already made up his mind. “More or less, yes,” he said. “I still believe I could [play every game].

Sounds like he's leaving
 
Very misleading title re Rooney. In the article he says he will make up his mind in the future after considering all options. Nothing story

Rashford didn't score again. Is he average aswell? People love to play down Lingard but he has scored in 3 successive wembley finals. Im not saying he's a regular key player but we need players like him. He's a quality back up for the first 11 and a reliable, dynamic option when rotating the squad to play in 4 competitions. He's better than Welbeck was for us, an acadamy player, willing to accept a back up role, capable of creating or scoring for us in any game situation. He's much better than an average player, like Ashley Young as another example.

I could not disagree with you more on virtually every point you make so I will just leave it at that.
