Football The 2012 / 2013 Season Thread

"It's all part of the plan" - Sir Alex Ferguson


Mourinho and Ferguson have agreed this for a while.

Ferguson will step down after winning the Prem for a 20th time and the Champions League in an amazing double this season.

Mourinho has already started his planning and has told Ronaldo to say these things so he can sign him on the cheap at United.

Ronaldo continues to 'be sad' until summer 2013

He makes an official transfer request and Mourinho signs him from himself.

Mourinho begins building his empire at United which will last 30 years, as his goal is to better Ferguson's achievements.

In this time United dominate football and win the Champions League 15 times in this period and win the Premier League 28 times.

Meanwhile City are stopped by FFP in 2014 and the Arabs get bored and leave the club in huge debts they can't pay. Roman follows suit and Chelsea and City go out of business.

Arsenal are United's closest rivals and Wenger/Mourinho have an epic EPL battle for the next 15 years before Wenger retires after being conclusively beaten.

That link I posted is a real eye-opener into the situation btw.

Meireles in links with Fenerbache. As glad as I am our squad is being trimmed down it does make our central midfield look somewhat light with Essien out of the picture too.

Id have cr7 at southampton but i think £200k a week is too much to pay a bench warmer

I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was friction inside RMs dressing room, too many egos in top football and few come bigger than his.

I've personally never really rated Meireles in any way but bad hair styles.

Terry Connor sacked.

Didn't see that coming, guess Stale didn't like something.

Can't fault his reasoning, the player should accept his mistakes and not blame other players whilst thinking he is untouchable. However, there are better ways of dealing with it but Di Canio does it in his own 'different' way.

As someone in that article points out he most likely just wants a fat new contract.

I think this is the reason

"Ronaldo is on similar money himself at the moment, and last Spring he was widely understood to be discussing an extension to his current deal, which ends in 2015. At that point, Manchester City were reportedly willing to offer to double his current wages, and the situation is complicated by the ending of Spain's 'Beckham Law' which means players will now have to pay significantly higher income tax rates than previously."

With the tax law about to change he will lose a big chunk of his wages and he wants a new contract.

I love you too Alan, show us your black and white donger!

Four football fans have been arrested on suspicion of murder during Liverpool vs Arsenal yesterday.

I can see a few Spanish players getting a wobbly bottom lip when they start getting taxed.

Going from the match reports and the local commentary on the game yes. Couldn't get a stream to watch it though.

It was a game of two halves really, you dominated up until your goal but we seemed very uninterested. Rest of the first half was pretty even. Second half we were all over you, as soon as we put a bit of pressure on you seemed to crumble a bit.

Like I said, a draw was fair, just a shame we didn't really turn up for it.

I've personally never really rated Meireles in any way but bad hair styles.

He's never going to be a worldbeater but take him out and our central midfield comes down to Mikel, Lampard, Ramires and Romeu, bit scarce if you think we have 60 odd games to play this season especially if one or two of those pick up injuries.

 

[Embattle]

Argh my eyes.

Argh :S

There is something about you English though, remember when I went to Mallorca a couple of years ago. I had never seen people going to bars/clubs in club shirts but there seemed to be every other English (very often ginger aswell!) person had a football top. Was a good laugh

Ugh.

 

[gohan]

The game was in Newcastle. And a glory hunting Aston Villa fan?!? You however are a Liverpool fan that is full of shit, now that is something that one comes to expect.

Firstly, cry more. It was clearly tongue in cheeck but obviously you're too retarded to see that I'm using your own words.......

Secondly, in what way am I full of shit? I think the general opinion is that I'm the only Liverpool fan on here that has been consistantly unbiased and realistic, others are now starting to realise we really can't compete but there is no cure for the like of Kietanz.

Thirdly, since when is being 'plastic' and 'glory hunting' even remotely the same thing??


Fourthly. TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Too easy......

 

[caLLous]

Hating on Liverpool just isn't as satisfying without Keitanz...

Meireles to Fener confirmed, Ronaldo apparently wants to leave Madrid

And yet they often are. "Fans" who talk about their team when their team happens to be winning everything in sight, whilst the "fan" has never been to a game and is never likely to. The same "fans" generally don't come from the area of said club and have no connection with it other than a desire to be associated with winners.
