Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan will buy Manchester United F.C.

Cheers. I'll forever feel dirty though
Was that the worst January transfer window of all time?
Cleverley was the oasis in the hazy distance. My spirit was never entirely broken.

Cleverley is a mirage. It looks like an oasis in your desperation and thirst for quality midfielders, when in reality it is but a dank little puddle. Sure, it kept you sated once or twice when the stakes were low, but I sure as hell wouldn't rely on it to see me through the upcoming months.
Poor metaphor over
I'm mostly relying on Tony V, Wazza, Welbz, Carrick, Chicha, and a Nani who has (I hope) remembered how to finish.
And Scholesy for a little bit of composure. Young - I dunno what, if anything, to expect.
My highest hope for our defence and keeper is that we moderately cope. We're just not going to be flash in that department.
Those bookies are trolls >:O! This may very likely be United's first stamford bridge win in ages. Poor finishing against weaker teams have given us draws, but what will it do against a constantly-attacking team like United? Plus the lack of Ramirez and Lampard means our control will be slower and more sloppy.
How come bro :0? Weren't Hamburger beaten 5-1 at home against Dortmund recently?
The pele of defenders.
And Pog the Colossus, no doubt.
Will Keane youtube. Seems like the lad might be on the edge of our bench a bit next season.

That's twice I've read the name Welbz in the last 24 hours. Please tell me that's not actually his nickname...
Then again, we've got a Spearo, so I can hardly judge.
Any chance of Ravel 'thug4lyfe, AK47 in my gold-rimmed hummer, brap-brap, 'not guilty if you don't want sledgehammer to the knee,' ungrateful, ' not a bellend, just surrounded by bad influences' Morrison making an appearance in the Millwall game later on?

Hmm. Not sure myself, it could cause huge damage to the lad's neck if he's thrown straight in, especially if West Ham take an early lead.
Inside City: Ep 21 - NFL Superbowl Showdown
Brilliant footage of training, especially the goalkeeprs. Stuart Taylor is like another goal-keeping coach really. He's a encouragement to Hart and Pantilimon. LOL at Joe Hart and his crazy head gear.
Aguero speaking more English! "See youuu later"
Chappy (The kit man) allocates David Pizarro his locker! His is next to none other than the AWOL Argentinian's.
Pizarro gets shown around Carrington and meets old friends and then trains, he has a interview and says that in Italy life is difficult if you're a footballer, he said if you are in a taxi you are followed and even getting your food shop in is tough. He said "Totti can't go out".
De Jong, Lescott and Richards goof around on a promotional American Football photoshoot!! Their banter and antics are funny. Lescotts wayward throw at the end sounds like it smashes a window! If you watch any of that video make sure it's this bit.
You can tell theres a good spirit in the team.

Have a little faith. We have Malouda and Bosingwa.
Chelsea fan??? Wooo! It's like I'm looking for survivors of the apocalypse :[!! I actually think Bosingwa is much better than Malouda these days, even if he tends to suck much of the time too!

Is Malouda still patchy? Or is he pretty much poor whenever he plays now? Haven't seen a lot of Chelsea at all this season for some reason
Oh the horror
He's not horrible, it's mostly that he's ineffective, to the extent that it feels like we're using 10 players at times. And you're not missing out on much by not seeing Chelsea this season, they had some great, great games - but the majority of their games have been absoluuuuuuuutely dull.Dark Machine

He's as fresh as a mint, fresh like Tropicana! Brrrrrraaaap!
I dont know why I found that so hypnotic. Its fascinating to see professionals training.
Aaaawwwwwwwwwwwww you guys named the new thread after me, i knew you all cared about me really. *hugs*
In other news you'll all be pleased to hear that i'm now in the top 5 for the neogaf fantasy football league & before anybody asks, no Rio Ferdinand isn't one of my defenders.

That's fucking hilarious.
I'd be delighted if United's media was as slick and comprehensive as City's seems to be.
They did put this out, which is interesting - but it's basically straight up promotion, and they don't have the stream of stuff that City are putting out.

I wouldn't even mind paying like £20 a season for City's online videos.
60 second match highlights, extended highlights, interviews, features, behind the scenes, inside city, reserve game streams and highlights.
I'd gladly pay a sum of money for all that and help the club's revenue!

It's to do with a tube closure.
Did I mention we signed Martin Olssons twin brother. I want both of them to play against Uniteds twins for the comedy effect.
Time to put some bets on
You did us. You can do Arsenal.
City are a relatively young club in their current form, they still have to cater for the locals really, i.e. lots of free stuff. l'm sure if they ever do get a wider fan base in the UK and crack the foreign markets you'll be paying soon enough.

It's in there among a few other ridiculous bets, you never know, I put a quid on us to do you and won £22, stupid odds really

Why isn't the Arsenal game on tv?
Oh well, they'll probably lose.

Edit: what am I thinking. Had my mind on City v Fulham.

Van persie starts. He always Scores against us.
And that's the end of that chapter

Not to encourage anyone, but you'd get much better odds if you placed individual bets on both teams to score as a 7 fold accumulator.
Van Persie pretty much always scores against every team, the difference this season is that now every team pretty much always scores against Arsenal.

I <3 Van Persie. Unfortunately, I think he'll leave after this season, whether or not we'll qualify for the CL =(

Yep done it myself on William Hill 411/1

Yeah, I just did the same at Ladbrokes, got 389/1 for a goal in every EPL game. Got £1.06 on.
Flog him.

He has been going senile for a while though
To be honest nearly every choice is as good / bad as the next
