    I have reread all your posts and I actually think I know who you are.

    Exhibit A.

    Nothing out of the ordinary?> Wrong. Using photograph-enhancing programs, I can augment parts of the picture to reveal a figure behind the boiler-room door.

    You are the boiler maintenace guy at the hospital where United used do their medical.

    THAT'S where you used to get your info.

    THAT'S why your recent predictions haven't been great.

    THAT'S why your clutching at straws.

    Your Honour, I rest my case.

    Im just gonna presume your not taking the piss for the sake of my happiness :P

    No no Guardiola told me himself back in 1998/99 ish. I remember it was a bit weird at the time considering he was predicting the future but then again I could suddenly understand Spanish when he spoke so I just accepted it.

    It's all about the contacts.

    On the windup by suggesting your google search history contained an over-abundance of the word "balls".

    I don't think I've ever met anyone who would be wound by that before now. I guess I crossed the line, either that or you are taking the internet too seriously. Shalom either way.
    It has nothing to do with google search history, it's common search terms that goggle stores historically.
    It has nothing to do with what I am looking up or have been in the past.

    In fairness your still debating this and I tried to let it go, and it's getting a bit embarrassing now. Can we discuss on PM?

    Thanks.

    I don't care, I don't know how many more ways I can tell you you are over analysing and being bizarrely sensitive about what was a tame (and crap) joke.

    In the words of LuckyLloyd, this really seems like a you problem.

    Around about 97 or 98 we went on a school trip to Rome and Sorrento. While we were in Sorrento we went on a day trip to Capri. As soon as we got off the boat and made our way up the pier one of the teachers spots none other than Roy Keane. About 35 young irish lads charged towards him. He was a little shocked at first but said hello to eveyone and got into a group photo with us. Didnt have too much of a chat with him but he seemed bang on.

    I banged a young one in Manchester who said she went to school with turns out she was Phil Bardsley's sister. United beat Sunderland 1 nil, Saha scored aswell that day.

    Then me, saha, bardsley and zaha all got drunk and scored the managers daughter

    Am I doing it right?


    FYP
    Way more believeable now...

    Regardless of all that, I think it's pretty clear at this point that he has been searching for the word "balls" a lot. No disrespect to Mick of course, each their own. :pac:

    In other news, looks like our Garay, is moving to Zenit after signing for us about 6 times

    @mick and keane
    you pair have been talking some amount of "balls" for the days ;)

    If we are still doing I met stories, my uncle was a business partner of sorts with Roy Keane, so he used to over a few times a year and get me autographs of all the players in the players lounge after the game. I went over once with him, I was 12 I think and Keane met us in manchester and drove us to a pub near his house with my uncles friend and his daughter. Spent about 4 hours there he even bought me a coke! I basically just sat there the entire time amazed, thought it was a dream. He was incredibly nice, I even had him sign an entire autograph book embarrassingly. The uncle's friend's daughter was obsessed with beckham and asked him if they would meet up outside training and Keane laughed and said no he's not the type I'd be friends with. That afternoon made my childhood

    yea i've heard that from a few people about keane not being chummy with beckham, but he wasn't overly chummy with most united players, which he's entitled to be, i'd not friends with most people i work with so i could see where he comes from on that..
    but i've always heard that an irish person he met in manchester was warmly greeted and he wasn't in any way stand offish at all

    In fairness, Keane has always been quite complimentary of Beckham as a pro as far as I know (and rightly so). You can see how they mightn't be bosom buddies outside of work.

    Ah no I'd say Roy tagged along to Spice Girls concerts all the time.

    Not sure if this has been posted, but apparently Giggs was the reason we turned down Thiago. If true, im disgusted he's part of LVGs coaching set up. What a tool.

    I'd say even Bangkok is more reliable than Ian McGarry.

    I got onto Carles there and he confirmed bangkok's story. Bet you lads feel bad now.

    Not sure if it's been posted, but here's Van Gaal speaking about his appointment with United!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,575 ✭✭✭NTMK

    Moyes Van gaal Out

    Despite the fact Moyes was a joke of a manager, I thought it was ridiculous when people were giving out to him for using words such as 'try' and 'hope'. I do agree he wasn't the best at handling the media and answering the questions like a proper Manchester united manager but still, using words like 'try' and 'hope' doesn't mean he's a bad manager.

    I am pretty sure i have heard Sir Alex use the word try and hope when asked about the upcoming fixtures, so its not a moyes thing. People need to get over the use of that word and just wait and enjoy when van gaal absolutely destroys the british journos during the conferences :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,684 ✭✭✭FatherTed


    So all these stories of meeting famous people and not 1 picture yet...

    Using it every now and again is ok.

    The problem with Moyes was it was after every match, after every transfer problem, after everything. Try and hope is grand when it comes through every now and again, but Moyes never carried out what he was trying to do, thus no one had any faith in his hopes.

    Saying we will try and win the league is different than "we will try and make it hard for Newcastle to beat us"...
