  1. Which match from the past 40 years?

    I’m sure there are loads, but the first recent one that comes to mind is Tottenham Vs Man City 3-4 in the champions league quarters last season. What a game it was
  2. Premier League Gameweek 37

    The Bournemouth player hit Son in the back and then stamped on his foot if you watch the replay. The same player also bodychecked and winded Son earlier in the half. Son lacked discipline to lash out like that but it was a yellow at most, never a straight red.
  3. Alexis Sanchez | Done deal

    Is this really happening? Haven't posted in years but such is the incredulousness of the Sanchez saga it has made me log back in. In terms of how he would fit in, would we try something like: Martial Lukaku Sanchez Shaw Matic Pogba Valencia Jones...
  4. Fergie's Signings After Carrick

    Yea I'd say they are 'relative' hits. Hits compared to the other dross but not at the Evra, Vidic levels.
  5. Fergie's Signings After Carrick

    W Which is arguably why Barca aware failing off now that Puyol is gone, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique nowhere near their peak. But they still have Messi which invalidates any comparison ultimately :lol:
  6. Fergie's Signings After Carrick

    Yea you can't solely blame it on lack of spending but at the same time it can't really be ignored when you sell Ronaldo for £80m to replace him with Valencia for £16m. It's probably somewhere in between. And also I'd add that the likes of Welbeck and Kagawa, if still managed by Fergie, would...
  7. Fergie's Signings After Carrick

    I wouldn't say reckless, obvious market was inflated by sugar daddies so he still needed to pay significant $$ to buy squad players (I.e money shelled out for A.Young). In $$ terms he might have appeared more reckless cause he was spending simiLar amounts but not getting the same return in...
  8. Fergie's Signings After Carrick

    Our successes from 06-12 were largely based on the 04-06 signings plus Scholes, Giggs and Rio. As Pogue said Fergie squeezed every drop out of that squad, and probably didn't feel the need to buy more stars because to a result he was still getting results. Yes he probably would've done even...
  9. Been thinking of that 2006-09 period

    Recently watched YouTube highlights of one our games in 06-07 against Bolton away. We were fecking good. Ronaldo Giggs on the wings, Scholes carrick in midfield, Rooney Saha up front, Neville Evra bombing up and down, Rio Vidic at the back. It was actually perfection. Football we played was...
  10. Asian Cup 2015

    That's a bit weird that you feel like a traitor. As an Asian living in Australia you've probably experienced a fair bit of racism over the years. Would be extremely sweet to get one over Australia.
  11. Asian Cup 2015

    Should be a cracker on Saturday. Korea (my heritage/ethnicity) vs. Australia (the country I've been living in for the past 15+ years). Head says Australia 1-0 victory. Heart says Korea 2-1 victory.
  12. Riquelme retires

    When he was on the ball he was in a world of his own. Time almost seemed to stop when he had the ball at his feet, and his literally playing the game at his own pace. Special player.
  13. Asian Cup 2015

    UAE fan? I didn't watch your group stages but it seemed you guys played well in those games. You were truly on the back foot against Japan though - Japan had so many chances to score in normal time. You have this one player who is small but plays in the hole and has Fellaini hair - he seems...
  14. Asian Cup 2015

    TBH I think the consensus is Australia is pretty much in the final. UAE will be knackered after their exploits against Japan and I can see a comfortale win for the Aussies.
  15. Asian Cup 2015

    Korea through to the final! Iraq were probably battered from that 3-3 titantic tussle with Iran in the previous round - too bad for them and good for us. If the Aussies make the final, they'd be just about favourites given they are playing at home. Should be a really good final nonetheless.
