  1. Premier League Gameweek 26 (3rd - 5th February 2018)

    Jesus, when I read this I thought you were watching a stream in Spanish and misheard the name, I had to double check. And he actually plays on the left flank. :lol:
  2. Player Social Media Pics - 2017/18

    He has some skill here.
  3. Wayne Rooney - Manchester United Legend

    He was great. Especially when partnered with Murtaugh on the opposite wing. They were a lethal weapon. :D
  4. Porto claim Benfica used a witch doctor to help them win the league.

    A case of supernatural doping. That's a first... I wonder how will FIFA cope., it's an interesting topic of discussion. Mandatory warding spells on stadiums is an idea worth discussing. Maybe the 4th official should double as an exorcist. It's an interesting topic of discussion. Somebody phone...
  5. Manchester United - Real Madrid (Super Cup)

    Hey, a local here. Not really, we had a crappy transition of power for the last five months but it finally seems to be over. It never really affected day to day life, save for some protests with embarrassing highlights. All a political crisis to begin with. But the new government is finally in...
  6. Alex Ferguson was unreal.

    Just found a gem from his Aberdeen days, the players god bored on a pre-season tour and bounced a ball from a hotel balcony, and Fergie and Archie Knox saw that, decided to fine the players and noticed them via a poem. It's really a great story.
  7. FC Bayern 16/17 discussion

    Some man-management lessons from Carlo. I love this.
  8. Danny 'Local Lad' Welbeck

    He was. But that season is the reason I will never regret selling him. He scored a grand total of 2 goals in 40 games. We've had quite a few frustrating players in the Fergie years, but that Welbeck season takes the cake for me. Probably because he had so many appearances and everyone in the...
  9. Some praise for Jose

    Same logic could have always gone against Alex Ferguson, though I don't necessarily agree with it. It's not a clear cut tactical philosophy but it's not a lack of tactics whatsoever. Del Bosque I think once famously referred to Fergie as a tactical anarchist. I don't think we ever had a...
  10. Watford vs Manchester United

    Pogba is doing his best Nani impression with those random shots from impossible positions.
  11. Andreas Pereira | Granada Loan Watch

    Quite a few players were loaned out at Royal Antwerp in Belgium in the Fergie days. O'Shea and Evans were the only ones who went on to become first team players I think.
  12. Football Lookalikes

    Do you know what "nemesis" means, mr. Pulis?
  13. Players with Torres-like collapses who managed to return to their best

    Claudio Pizarro had a ridiculously bad 2-goal season at Chelsea, returned to Germany at Bremen and in the next two years he scored 28 each season. Moved to Bayern again, won the CL with them.
  14. Premier League Matchday 2 August 19-21

    David Gold is a living representation of Del Boy actually becoming a millionaire and owning a football club.
  15. David de Gea | 2016/17 Performances

    :lol: at the finger wag.
