Reddit certainly has gifs up as fast as anywhere else on the internet but it's no good for actual video highlights.

I think Rooney's better in a deeper position. He'll still make the right runs when needed but should see more of the ball that way.

Edit- I've seen so little of Lallana I'm not sure if he plays on the left or the right! In fact the few times I have seen him play he's been very average but so many people rate him so highly I'm sort of taking their word for it.

well I can put your mind at ease, for "he plays on the left, he plays on the riiiiiiight, Adam Lallana, makes Messi look shite!"


true story, been hearing it at St. Marys since Leauge 1

Martin Beck = Cunt

But I bet he doesn't surf in the outside lane again

 

[Raven]

Cunt for what exactly? Being nearly killed?

 

[Scouse]

Cunt for what exactly? Being nearly killed?

You tailgated him (Beck) for some little while. He touched his brakes in the hope you would pull back but you didn't

Beck was coasting in the outside lane of the A46. He break tested someone who wanted to go past him rather than pull over like he should have.


Yep, King's a giant cock and deserves jail time, and what happened to this guy is harsh, but at the end of the day I ain't gonna cry about someone who's driving in the outside lane when he could clearly pull in, break testing people who want to go past him. Beck is one of the many mobile road blocks - and I do so hate them cunts...

'brake-testing', please!

Not singling you out Scouse - I got fed up with people repeatedly mis-spelling 'paedo' in another thread.

Gah - I'm a grumpy cunt today - sorry

What betting sites do people use? I've been using paddypower for years for no particular reason, but their advertising is so fucking obnoxious i want to switch. Preferably one with a good phone app.

 

[Raven]

Skybet - some good odds for first goal scorer + result which is where I make my money.

Shit app though, in browser bollocks.

Which ever has the best odds or offer at the time

 

[Ch3tan]

Speaking of which, anyone seem any good offers for the cup final tomorrow?

 

[Raven]

FA cup is on Saturday.

Utterly correct and I apologise for my glaring error.

We do, however, have a bad spelling/grammar rating

 

[Deebs]

For those writing United off, our away record was third best in the league. If you think we'll be as bad at home next season you are crazy. We may not win anything next season, but we'll be challenging at least.

Does that include European football?

Heh my weekend is starting now with a flight to Edinburgh, so I'm a brut hazy on days.

I don't bet, but a lot of people I know use betfair, good app (they say) & cash out

I played the current season as Liverpool on FM14, didn't buy or sell anyone. 22 goals conceded in all competitions, 100odd scored. Prem won with 4 games to go, FA cup and Micky Mouse cup won. 2 games lost and one of them was some fucked up 6 nil loss to Southampton at Anfield. I nearly spilt my cup of tea.

I am officially better than Brenda (Or FM is still far too easy!)

 

[megadave]

Bit annoying that the FA Cup clashes with Barcelona v Atletico to decide La Liga, surely the FA cup tv ratings will drop because of it.

 

[Raven]

Not by a huge amount I imagine. Most people would rather watch the FA cup final and perhaps record the La Liga game.

 

[caLLous]

I imagine a lot of "casual" football watchers probably don't give a toss about other countries' leagues.

 

[miri]

Plenty of evidence of that being spot on given the numerous people in this thread who watch 20mins of a PSG game and decide "Cavani is shit" based on it.

A City statement said that they only fielded 21 players in the Champions League this season, were not planning to spend a net amount of more than £49m on players this summer and expected their wage bill to be lower next season anyway.

"Yeah well, we didn't want to play more than 21 players anyway"

lol

 

[caLLous]

It's not a very stiff punishment to be fair. UEFA will give them €40m back if they comply with the regulations and they did only play 21 players in the CL this year (they declared a squad of 23)

 

[Embattle]

Lets see if they risk getting creative with the punishment.
