In reality it's all about budget, not actual spend. Nobody genuinely cares if we spend £30mil on a player, it's about whether that leaves us unable to buy in other players that are needed. If we spent £30mil on a winger most people would instantly react badly, but if the very next day we spent...

Lindegaard probably wont hang around long term (too good to be a backup here forever), nothing surprising at all about keeping hold of Amos. Home grown, solid backup, loyal (you'd imagine). Great to hear the Scholes confirmation too.

Like the idea of the 4th sub. Although I'm sure many of them will be used to bring on a specialist penalty taker with a few moments to spare, it does give a more attack minded team more opportunity to go for it, both before and during extra-time. Are there any disadvantages to the vanishing...

Finland. Proper little shit a few years back, but really matured more recently. Good on him. Cracking player too.

Agreed. Bayern made it to the next round fairly, we didn't. If they'd been kicked out before the final group match, we would've gone through by default, and rightly so, but I feel if it does happen, it's come too late to be fair. Shite for us, but I'd be disappointed if we were in Bayern's...

First 3 season did have 22 teams though, so goals per game ratio is probably similar.

Agreed. Thought it was a very poor film to be honest. Got the sort of praise his next effort, 127 Hours, deserved.

Eh? De Gea and Young were massively discussed prior to signing, especially the former. Unless you mean by United representatives, in which case merely De Gea was massively discussed... Silly thing to say.

January 5th, 1997. FA Cup 3rd round vs. Spurs, we won 2-0. Scholes and Beckham scored. I would've been 10 at the time.

Just watched this myself today too. I adored the book and had high hopes for the film. Very much sticks to the tone of the book but I think the two storylines felt very rushed overall, but most adaptations tend to suffer from that for obvious reasons. I enjoyed it though, thought it was very...

He looks decent to me, did well when called upon. Remember he's only had a few months in the first team, so he's still bedding in.

You're getting old. Or a tad more seriously, that CD fluked having two absolute classics in the Verve and Radiohead on it, but aside from that is no better than the rest. Besides, those CD's are all about whats popular at that moment, and what's popular doesn't ever tell us accurately the...
