It's sloppy and awful. That being a serious post is the best thing I've seen in this thread. You have to figure those European league players who've made the switch with age get so loving frustrated in that league but just have to deal.

Now that United are well and truly out of the Champions League next season (unless Arsenal spectacularly collapse, and Everton lose both their big games against City and United, and drop points somewhere else, which is actually quite possible), can Rodgers table a cheeky bid for Danny Welbeck? His movement is superb, and he'd provide a different option to Coutinho in games, and can give Sturridge/Suarez a rest with Champions League football on the table for next season.

Destroy My Sweater posted:that's the problem.... you don't let Ronaldo decide anything. You get in his face and you piss him off. If I were Klinsmann... I would tell every right-sided player who will see time in our defensive third...."Listen.... Ronaldo has no idea who you are right now... if he doesn't remember your face, and know your name by the end of the game.... and hate you..... then you've failed today." I like this one because basically every single time I've seen someone try to piss off Ronaldo or rough him up, he ends up scoring. Getting him all riled up is like the last thing you want to do. I remember the first game against Sweden in the knock-out qualifiers, seeing him pissed off at not getting decisions, at being tackled dangerously, and I couldn't help but think he'd go on to score a winner out of pure spite.

Also the comments on that article are a goldmine.quote:You must have missed the mark Donovan left on Everton during his loan stint there in early 2010. e: same guy quote:I was refuting your statement that Donovan "hasn't been to one of the bigger leagues and left his mark on a team." Donovan did exactly that. I fail to see how Everton's history of slow starts negates what his addition to the lineup accomplished.

I mean, poo poo, I liked it when Simeon Jackson made it to the Premier League with Norwich, but you don't see me posting dissertations about how his DzSaBOTSh changed Norwich's play when he came on for three minutes at the end of a 9-0 defeat or what the gently caress ever. Also it turned out he was too poo poo for the PL anyway (still scored 3 goals a season though, take notes Jozy) but who gives a poo poo.

Those 22 seconds were the best we have had this season. For those 22 seconds we were on top of the world, beating the reigning champions in their own stadium. Those 22 seconds we were Manchester UNITED. There was no #MoyesOut or #MoyesIn, we were one. For those 22 seconds Patrice had redeemed himself. Only for it all to be washed away in 22 Bavarian seconds.
