    I Can Score Goals

    Good result as I despise both the mancs and Rangers. Valencia injury was nasty, could tell straight away his leg was gone.

        Oh to be a team that can drop £20+ mil on a homeless guy, a project defender and an energetic striker and then say "we haven't spent"
        25 Mil on 3 players isnt spending when your a club of its stature.

        I'm serious, my hatred of United has reached the level of my hatred for Duke. Possibly the biggest reason for the hate would be their smug fucking fans.

        What a shitty game. Ugly, slow, sloppy. Rangers did what they wanted to do. I just cant believe that Paul Scholes is that damn important to this team. I feel for Valencia. No creativity at all, not even one real or decent chance. Meh....

          Who spent more in England other than Man City?

          Arsenal £14.5 mil
          Birmingham 16.5 mil
          Chelsea 23 mil
          Liverpool 22 mil
          Man U 24 mil
          Spurs 14 mil
          Wolves 14.5 mil

          So you spent more than every other team, besides City, and you want more? Only Madrid spent anywhere near as much as them. Barca paid 35 mil for Villa, but only got one player.

          The point isn't the money, it's that your manager bought players at all the wrong positions for a team who's fan base isn't happy without winning 55/55 matches. A homeless striker for 7 mil? Great deal, haven't seen him play? Whateves. Chris Smalling may be a good CB eventually, but not now. And when Wenger was able to get Vermaelen and Koscielny for the same price? Everyone was salivating for Javier, but it's going to take some time for him to get used to the English game. Look at Chelsea. Where did they feel they were weak? Central midfield (sounds familiar). So they dropped 19 mil on a great young Brazilian prospect in Ramires. Quality over Quantity

          Get out of here with this not spending shit and go cry me a river.

            Teams aren't going to spend the money they used to thanks to UEFA banning any team that isn't in the black.

                  I have no idea what to expect in Salt Lake tonight. Our top talent seems pleased Preki is gone and should be able to do whatever they wish on the pitch tonight, but RSL is a good team and that should spell disaster.

                  :pray:

                    Acually....Since you for some reason have sand in your vagina, Smalling was bought last season and spent last season on loan for the rest of the year at Fulham. Which for this transfer season (after January) bring them to 14. Which would put them right there with Wolves...But youre right the point wasnt the money. And I never came on here and "cried" or claimed to want more. I only ever wanted one player and knew it would never happen so I never made anything of it. There were Wesley S rumors to United...But it was a pipe dream so...meh

                    I posted that because pf the debt issue thats there but not the problem, and I also found it intersting that they dont feel they have the players already needed to take over for Scholes, Giggs, and Neville. Although I think anyone is better than Gary Neville right now. Like when they retire are they going to drop 100 mil City style or something? I also was wondering who it was he wanted to buy that got done early that he couldnt get? Silva or Villa.

                      Arsenal were great, they played some cracking football tonight.

                      It might have only been 2-0 but the class gap between Ajax and Real was pretty shocking.

                        Joe Cole, what a guy.

                        Need a much improved effort in the second half, we were second best for most of the half.

                          What was Cole's goal like? I can't find anything either.

                            He pressured the defender into a mistake on the edge of the box and them 1 on 1 with the keeper beat him with a good finish.

                            Lucas learning from Stevie G, great goal. Easy win in the end, much better showing in the second half. Bring on the Mancs.
