I think £15 mil for Young is a fair price. Considering the English premium, I figured he'd move for at least £20 mil

So it looks like United have sealed the deal for De Gea. The official website quoted the manager saying he was the one.

Also....

What ya think Liverpool fans? You want him. I know Andy would be a goal machine with Ash. I love him, always rated him, just not sure about the price tag.

Also, they are finalizing a deal on a French kid from Lens. Apparently he is the French version of Chris Smalling. Well see...

You lot can have him, as I've been telling all my friends who are Pool fans all season, I'd rather have N'zogbia over him any day.

Could this be the end of Jack Warner?

pleasepleasepleaseplease

Although I'm sure his replacement will be no better...still would feel nice.

TLDR Version
Bin Hamman successfully bribed Warner, Blazer ratted them out to Blatter.

I really doubt that is the case. IMO, Warner is Blatter's bro. He agrees to have all of these 'accusations' investigated. Bin Hamman gets his name dragged through the mud a week before the elections. Sepp wins, Warner gets a sweet new post

What channel is the game on?

[Houston]

Regular Fox.


I assumed it was going to be on the soccer channel.

[Fappin Raptor]

Correctly picked the score before the game. also predicted messi and villa to score in the second half. Aww yeah. Today has been good, besides this train I'm stuck at.

What top of the table European squad do you glory hunt for?

[1ke]

Just too much. Nothing changed from '09.

Just too much. Nothing changed from '09.

Never felt like we were in the game and had a chance regardless of the score.
