I gotta say I don't like Bayern's tactics with Reus. He said he wouldn't join you so you go out and try to get people to come after his buy out clause to get him away from Dortmund by publicly spewing his contract and such? Basically other you come to us or we're gonna screw Dortmund to get you out of this league. Dortmund's response said it all. Bayern and Dortmund relationship is just cribbed. Bayern has become too greedy and honestly its not to the point they are hurting themselves because they don't want any competition at all. Bayern really deserves a couple of champions league *** kickings for the cheap crap they pull.
The entire Bundesliga is Bayern's feeder club. If Gundogan didn't have a chronic injury he'd be there too.

Howard Webb retires from referring.
England rejoices bar Manchester which is in mourning. Still unconfirmed whether Webb will be retained on Utd's pay roll or released due to no longer having a use to the club.
Hail.
Don't worry if United have anymore success Ill sure you can find plenty of brand new excises as to why.

In my head?
You have a better chance to learn to read Chinese before you learn before you learn to read minds.

When the comment goes, "Don't worry, there's a lot of season left" after a pre-season trophy is lost... I'm not sure where else to go in the world of **** talking.
Classy Heysel reference though. I'm sure the Premeirship since then has been a detriment.
I was trying to point out the last time United didn't play in Europe. Its quite impressive IMO. Once again the rest is strictly in your head.

Nikki is going to turn on Brie at SummerSlam...
Seems like unecessary TV time would have to follow this up unless it leads to something bigger.
-
He needs a dance partner though.
We have to get another legit scorer and it's not Rickey Lambert or Adam Lallana.
I don't know... the shots/goal ratio was pretty good last night.
You mean it hasn't started?
And we have Europe and you don't?
Thanks! I was nervous.
Not having Europe waa a major detriment to Liverpool's success last year wasn't it. The only difference is the lasttime United didn't have Europe was due to the ban in 1989.
-
Agreed. The opportunities were there. I think Liverpool will again be amongst the league leaders in creating scoring chances. I also think Sturridge would have scored on one or two of those chances. To me, that was the difference in the match. Liverpool wasted their opportunities while Man United made the most of theirs.
I think a certain dutchman would have made an equal if not greater difference on the other side.

I'm not sure what's up with Reus. I don't know if he hasn't decided whether he thinks Dortmund can rebuild from losing so much or if he truly wants out. Amazing Isco might be on his way out that quick but I guess that shows the faith in James Rodriguez. Closest thing to a game changing player lately has been RVP but that was one year and there's no guarantee he gets back to that level even if he did well at the world cup.
A little background on your new club they buy players to sell shirts. If you want an explanation as to why such a big club wins trophies so infrequently there's your answer. What are we looking at here a decade gap between Champions League wins and a title taken off of Barca once every few seasons with hundreds of millions spent on players every season? That's not a coincidence.

There you go Jesse

Is that Tyler Blackett or a young Rio Ferdinand?
-
I don't know... two shots and two goals kind of speaks for itself.
From open play.

Scheduled for 1:00 AM BST, so 8:00 PM EST. I would imagine NBC has it again but not being Stateside best not take that as gospel and double check beforehand.
Luckily (or not dependent on your POV) Agger is missing or else we wouldn't know if he played well even if he did with that ****er doing a recap!
It's a tough one as it's still ostensibly pre-season and matters little in the great scheme of things.
That said, being as we're only a fortnight out from the big kick-off you'd think both managers would now be nailing down their starting XI's for opening day at this stage with only two friendly's left so it will be disappointing to say the least if both go with weakened sides. And that's not even starting on the rivalry aspect that means SO much to the fans regardless of the nature of the game .....
Two City's 30 miles apart but a MILLION miles apart in the way we talk, dress, our musical tastes, the whole gambit. When the two biggest, most successful teams in England meet, it really is an occasion when the football is secondary to everything else in many respects and sadly that all manifests itself at and around the match with some of the ugliest, vilest behaviour from both sets of supporters imaginable.
There really is NO bigger rivalry/ hatred in World sport. City's like Buenos Aires and Glasgow might well be up there, but there's NOTHING beats a Liverpool/ Utd game in that respect.
This may only be a pre-season friendly, but the chance to get one over the team from the other end of the East Lancs Rd. before the seasons even begun is immense.
Still throwing around calling in sick. And it's only a pre-season friendly. Go figure?
Hail.
There are about 6-7 players that should be nailed on as starters but I can see why LVG would want to make sure his evaluation process is thorough before he adds more players. I think the back three should get close to 90 minutes and maybe get Fletcher in there to continue to try to get him close to his pre-virus form but other rhan that why not throw some kids and rotation players in there.
-
Apparently Van Gaal doesn't share our enthusiasm for this match. Said he will use it as an opportunity to let some of the fringe players show what they have.
-
So Van Gaal is (paying lip service no doubt) saying that there may be no more signings and he's satisfied with what he's seen from (the garbage for modern day Utd) that he inherited.
I wonder if truth be told just how many players they've approached this summer to be turned down due to no Champions League football?
And it gets worse the longer you miss.
Happy days.
.Hail.
It's hard to approach the season with the same unbridled optimisim as say a club that lost their best player by a wide margin but hey, I like what I've seen so far and last time I checked David Moyes was replaced by one of the best managers of this generation who didn't seem to be bothered by the lack of CL football for the first time in practically two decades. Hang on to those happy days while they last.

Is Baron Corbin still in NXT? Apparently he dated or is still dating Maria Brink from In This Moment, which makes him an instant heel to me. He's already had a lifetime's worth of "Wrestlemania moments".
-
Ive read a lot of Saints fans rate Chambers higher than Shaw.
Shaw's advantage is that left back is a more premium position than right back. I just dont want Chambers to get Phil Jones'd. He needs to master one position.
Potential are you kidding Chambers is already the best right back in the world.

RR,
I've always found Valencia a very easy team to root for. Back in the day I uaed to watch all their games providing they didn't overlap with a United game. Inter were also fun to cheer for before the calcio scandal. Not sure I'd go so far as to call them second teams as I'd rather slit my own throat than even entertain the idea of rooting for another club when they play United or their winning is against United interest. I suppose my heart isn't big enough to love more than one club.
-
So I was thinking the whole situation over and I wanted to run this idea by. So I've been thinking three clubs plus DCU and local kickers is a lot to juggle. Giving even attention I mean. So I'm thinking about going to two clubs. Man Utd will be one because I've been with them forever. Now I don't simply want to go one of the other two gets kicked. I think it's fair to open this up and throw the two in the pot with others. Then determine a second club in the coming months. What do you guys think? (Barca pulling it's crap lately makes me think this review needs to happen too)
You will feel liberated now that you've dropped this United/Barca nonsense. Needless to say you made the right choice.

Easy to stand out in a meaningless friendly when you've all the time in the World on the ball. He's a tidy player but certainly never stood out in Bilbao to the tune of £ 30 million.
We shall see once the proper stuff starts in August.
Hail.
We overpayed for him but it's absolute nonsense to say he never stood out at Bilbao.
-
Bilbao really is a wondrous club given the miniscule area they pick their talent from and the fantastic, International class players they continually produce. Got to admire the fact they've never strayed from their Basque only roots. To be the only team along with Barca and Real to never of been relegated is an incredible testimony to Basque spirit.
Pissed off they'll likely be in our pot for the European draw as if they qualify, as a fan, Bilbao is the best trip in Europe this year bar none.
Hail.
Agree 100%
I have no idea how they do it but it's borderline miraculous to operate the way they do and be succesfull this day and age. Great club who I think are admired by everyone outside of Sociadad. Bloody tough to get players out of there but who knows how many more gems they have hidden up there.

Encouraging performance from Ander Herrera. Looks to have that calm and vision we've been lacking so badly in midfield. Gorgeous passer of the ball too.
-
I want to do dirty things to Paige to In This Moment. Is that weird?
-
Here's a name out of left field I'd suggest to Liverpool but also hope he never plays there:
Roberto Firmino from Hoffenheim. Very early shades of a similar game to the Uruguayan loony toon.
-
Man o man....never realized how many haters we had in here.
If things like substance and integrity don't do it for you that's fine but Im not a hater for recognizing when someone lacks those things.

The major players are in pot 1. There's a lot of work to be done for United to falter their into pot 3 with Liverpool and what does it tell you that if United were to qualify again this season they'd be ranked higher than Liverpool.
