We've still won top flight English football more than anyone though, a lot of united fans seem to conveniently forget that :) Adders.. Tevez is brilliant. I'm gutted they're getting him and we're not. If he and Rooney hit it off, they'll potentially be the most lethal front two in the world. I...

Re: Term 2 Holiday Discussion! Exactly walrus. It's a wonder people still go see comedies these days.

Re: Term 2 Holiday Discussion! Saw it a couple of days ago. Will probably end up being one of the best if not the best comedy of the year. Though Superbad is still to come.

It's a damn complicated contract. I think the idea is that WHU got in trouble because a player cannot have two owners under EPL regulationis. In court they said that they in fact had full ownership of Tevez in a contract where he would be registered solely as a WHU player until the end of the...

What do you mean by 'superstar'? If you're talking about the likes of Ronaldinho or Villa... well signings like that just don't happen very often at all. One superstar won't help us as much as 2-3 top class players, some of whom (like Torres) who have to potential to become 'superstars'. Besides...

The Times and Daily Mail are reporting that Tevez has signed for United.. big blow to all the other title chasers chances if true. Having said that there have been no quotes. So more likely it's just Kia trying to get a bidding war started again.

Yeah, I think most Reds are aware of Torres's shortcomings in the past. In his defense he's played in an Atletico side that played Houllieresque football. Almost always on the counterattack. I think he'll be asked to play a different sort of role under Rafa. I can see him being asked to...

I wouldn't be surprised if Eduardo outscores Torres to be honest. He's clearly not an out and out goal scorer, more a striker equipped with an all round set of skills. I think, particularly earlier on, what we'll get out of him will be the key to opening tightly packed defences rather than an...

Guillem Balague on Sky Sports says £20m + Garcia.. which'd make it easier on all the Garcia fans out there. He was hugely underrated outside LFC before. I'm sure every Pool fan wishes him every success at Atletico. Anyway, I'm sure Rafa would not have spent the whole kitty on one striker, not...

Does The Lives of Others count as this year? I saw that today and it was pretty great. Possibly just beats Zodiac for my favourite so far.

Hargreaves is the only one that I can see making any real impact next season. Anderson has a tonne of potential but is still too young. Nani on the other hand.. I've talked to a few Portuguese fans.. the same fans who praised Anderson to the heavens, who think United have been genuinely ripped...

Ah.. finished it overnight as expected. I wouldn't say it's bit different from standard Murakami in the sense that it's by far his least ambitous novels. Almost feels like a lengthy short story. I quite enjoyed it though. Very cinematic. While reading I was thinking of all the directors that...

See that's the thing though. The fans are crying out for a fox in the box ala Huntelaar, but after all this time I still don't think that's what Rafa's been looking for, at all. He's never played with a player like that, and I guess he wasn't about to change his mind here. You might be wrong...

Yes.. for all you Torres critics, Wenger's probably the best spotter of talent in Europe, but this guy is 24 and has only played in Croatia. Fantastic record there of course, and he looks the business on youtube, but surely 16.25 m is surely a bigger risk than 27m for Torres. Mind you he's...

£31.2 m over 6 years is £100,000 a year, which is less than what Stevie G gets. Anyway it's The Sun, so I wouldn't read too much into it. I'd have preferred Tevez, and to be honest I don't expect Torres to settle right away, but I think he'll be a genuine world class player after a while. Looks...

Went to visit my folks today, and they bought me the latest Murakami, After Dark, as well as a book called Interpretation of Murder. The Murakami is fairly short, just 200 pages, so I'll be looking to finish it over night. Not bad so far. Sample chapter for anyone interested.

Spurs forward line is gonna scare the hell out of any defender this season.. after all their strikers are Bent and Keen. Not one laugh? :(

My gf bought a couple of gold class lounge tickets to see this for my birthday. 5/5 for the pizza, 2.5/5 for the movie. I think the screen was too big for the small room and the fact that each shot lasted probably less than 2 seconds gave me a real headache. Great laughs though/ Best line in...

Henry may not be the Mr Arsenal he proclaimed himself to be, but he wouldn't go to another English club, much less Spurs. Spurs forward line is gonna scare the hell out of any defender this season.. after all their strikers are Bent and Keane.

Possibly the most homoerotic thing said on the movie boards I've read in years.
