Yes, that's right. SSN are currently comparing Rooney and Mullers ratings on football manager to show people what a great imaginary signing he will be

I saw this football manager thing for the first time the other day. Cringe worthy is all I can say about it, absolutely pathetic. Guess they are just taking care of their dumb ass armchair viewers interests and dumbing down

 

[allan harper]

Snubbed United, they've had more knock backs than a Jehovah's Witness.

Sky Sports breaking news : Utd no longer interested in Pedro

30 minutes later: breaking news. Chelsea sign Pedro.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Clearly snubbed but I say again its like being dumped by a girl and trying to tell everything 1st you dumped her

It's entirely possible that we will overtake them in every conceivable way over the next half decade or so.

Manchester United are basically Jay.

Going to be murder getting home tonight - what with the Mancunian Way and now the Victory Parade.

Well done Memphis Bellend on the Ballon D'or

There were more at City V Chelsea than there were at the Swamp last night. The Maine Stand had lots of Empty seats which you would not have seen on TV. It was dire.
I walked home from the swamp last night thinking - our ground is significantly better than theirs, our corporate facilities are miles ahead, our kit is nicer, our fans are nicer, our training ground is better, our owners are better, our image as a club is better - I genuinely think we will overtake them in every single way in my lifetime.

It is nowhere near as good an experience going there as going to the Etihad. The stadium is hideous.

and the small mater of our team being significantly better too! :-)

Is that genuine?

I'm not even convinced The Sheik is all that into football in the first place in order to get bored of it. This project isn't really a little sporting folly (not in my eyes), otherwise we'd see him at the matches, and mixing with the players etc. This is a proper business venture.
All of that said, and many football fans don't grasp this. Football clubs (even the very largest ones) are pitifully small in the business world. BP turnover more in a year than all of the world's clubs combined - which helps to add some perspective.

As you say, whatever the future holds, 'boredom' won't be a factor.

There are a hell of a lot of people taking football manager style statistics to heart. Stats have become an increasingly used aspect of football but I hope the day never comes where we take such an NFL approach. Each play in NFL is a nailed down strategy drawn on paper and practiced on the training ground, it's a different game and one where stats are vital.

Football is still not scientific. So many variables impact what happens in a game and how a player performs. Most armchair Rag fans will actually believe they could sign Muller. They'll be shocked when they get a yoghurt instead.

This keeps getting better. Just as well they're not a greengrocers, they can't sign a carrot.

Seriously?! Fuck me! I know it's a 24 hour sports news channel so there needs to be a fair amount of "filler" but that's farcial. Ooh look, he's got a 17 for acceleration, means he's clearly quicker than Rooney, who only has a 15!! Undiluted shite.

exactly - I have yet to see a stat where you can scientifically compare the effect of drag on a players head / hair - eg shaved vs long hair ( Lily Savage in his pomp for example ) vs rug ( Rooney ) - I mean Thomas Graveson would probably leave Rooney for dead now were they both still at Everton due to the turbulence and drag created by the donated thatch

And he's clearly better at heading. Utd will probably be better than us on FIFA again like last years.

 

[crazyg]

Wishful thinking, it's called. "What if the Sheikh should die?" It comes to something when you start hoping people will die for your savation. Not all rags can accept the truth, even after seven years. And as for "the Sheikh might lose interest brigade " ", they have clearly never been within a hundred miles of our stadium and it's environment. We should club together and bring them on a day trip so that they might see the epic scale of things with MCFC. The twats would jump off the roof at the Asda superstore.

Or Manchester for that matter.

 

[bluethrunthru]

How long before they rumble Edwoodwoodwood for what he is? Thinks he is a player but clearly isn't? Just gets played along by agents using the threat of a move to the rags as a way of getting a better deal where the player is already or elsewhere - the agents are treating him like some sad crack whore that they use and abuse and then just pass on to the next dealer !!

On rag caff the Pedro thread has the title changed to " Pedro M#FC DROP INTEREST ( lol ) - Chelsea bound " There are even posters on there who question how they can chase a player for a month then say they aren't interested. Then again a lot reckon thats to get Muller - don't blame them I love the fruit corners
