    MUTV is going HD in July. That'll be sweet. Looks like sh¡t now in standard def.
    You really would think that if your a member of the club/season ticket holder you would get it as part of your £32 annual subscription/season ticket...

    If England planned on playing Rooney out right they would have been better off just not bringing him at all. This annoys me if true

    Seen some ozzie dicks running story on fb about a 65 million pound bid from us for suarez :D

    Obviously bull**** but the reaction from the lfc fans on fb is hilarious :D

    He also told us Thiago was in the bag last year.

    He was until Alan Curbishley on Speed insisted that we pass on the opportunitu to sign Thiago.

    Re Vidal etc, personally I'd prefer for us to bid €60m and for him to turn us down citing not wanting to live in Manchester rather than thinking that Van Gaal and Woodward never went there. They may care about being rejected but I care more about my club striving for the best rather than covering up efforts to sign top players and then signing bums like Fellaini.

    You had a bit of trouble with that one!

    MDF said he's not signing for us anyway.

    Why? What's the point in having a bid fail publicly?

    Do you really think his agent hasn't been briefed by Utd and a host of other clubs reps as to what kind of contract he'd get elsewhere? What if we offer him a deal and he says he has no interest, or Juve say no deal. What does it achieve to then go public and have the offer fail?

    Unfortunatly it seems to be. Reports were that they were tryin him there yesterday in training with Lambert up front.it seems a complete waste. We will know this evening as they have a friendly match

    Looks like Rooney will be on the left wing, they are playing an experimental side, Milner is going in at right full, lots of other changes too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,751 ✭✭✭newballsplease


    Rooney could lose his place altogether in that team if he doesnt shape up.

    Rooney could lose his place altogether in that team if he doesnt shape up.

    He's been ****ed around all season (And Last, and the season before that iirc) with regards position. If t'were Shinji Kagawa or Danny Welbeck people would be defending him to the last. It almost seems if you're versatile with position (in the case of Rooney or Jones for example) it seems more detrimental to your development than positive.

    It definitely is, which is why Wellbeck is doing the right thing for himself if he forces the issue with regards either playing up front or leaving.

    Man Utd Sweeps Update

    Right lads. I got a payment late last night which I can only assume it was from Donnielighto .

    I've emailed the address that sent it and asked what the username is.

    But we do have 32 payments so regardless the draw will take place today.

    The Plan
    To make this fair and random I will be doing the following.

    1) I will record the draw
    2) I will use random.org to sort the teams.

    How:
    With the screen capture recording I will have the world clock on screen http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ireland/dublin
    I will have this thread on screen.
    I will post in the thread letting you all know the draw has started. ( you will see the clock and time stamp of the thread.
    I will then go to Random.org http://www.random.org/lists/ and enter all the players name into the box.. I will press the Randomize button 5 times - This counts up how many times i've pressed it so you can keep track.
    I will then paste this list into Excel.
    I will then place all the Teams into the Randomizer and do the same as the players.
    The world clock will stay on screen the whole time.. I might even play some music so you can see there is no edits :D

    Once I have all the teams randomized I will paste them beside the players.. and the team you are then beside is the team you get.

    Let me know your thoughts.

    Thanks.


    Edit: Draw will be after I finish work and get home.. so about 6:30 / 7 I would guess. ( If i can get it done any earlier I will. )

    Because there is absolutely no way that you could edit the music in afterwards. :pac: ;)

    I'm not involved, but I'm assuming that if 32 people have already sent you their money they have decided to trust you, so I wouldn't worry too much.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,446 ✭✭✭glued


    Sounds good!

    Shades of Shevchenko for Chelsea?

    Jamie Jackson is saying that Cesc is a Chelsea target but not a Mourinho one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    No involvement in this sweeps at all but I'm still looking forward to the draw. :p

    Love a good draw! Best part of a lads FIFA tournament for me.

    It should really be done live with you presiding over the draw - a boring long winded intro, a bit of totty thrown in presenting showing a bit of leg/boobies, a bald lad from FIFA, a random WC legand and small round little balls impossible for anyone to open with names/teams....

    Where peoples bit of class gone at all....you should be deeply ashamed of such an amateur setup NeVeR :(:):p

    Was he ****ed around this season? I always got the feeling Moyes was building the team round him and let Wayne have free reign on where he played...

    A public rejection satisfies the needs of those angry individuals who need a spectacle to keep them entertained.

    If he manages to get through 32 kinder eggs today he can use the plastic containers to put the teams in.

    You ask if people would be happy with signing the best young lb in the world, a world class cb, two world class midfielders and a winger. What do you think if Football manager it would be unlikely nevermind real life of course everyone would be happy with that.
