The caption headings in that article : 'bath time', 'cycling', 'jokes', 'captain', 'boss', 'talent', 'cesc' (lmao), 'loan', 'competition'. SMH.

Does The Sun really think someone's going to pay to read their crap articles?

That's about the same as us.

Parked buses need preparation too?

Mourinho abandons the bus ...

Trouble brewing.

Not the first time a Roman has ended up in Greece.

I just go by the handy 'u21' or 'HG' tags

Pic not visible. Same with your sig.

Eh I'll embarrass myself further if I told you how I got to that conclusion. Abort thread.

Nevermind, got this : So for 2014-15, players aged 21 or lower on 1st Jan 2014 shall qualify. MvG's DoB is 01/12/92 so he'll be counted as u21.

Pretty much a done deal, Mourinho wouldn't speak candidly about this otherwise. So many conflicting emotions in my head right now (nothing to do with the 'last kick in Munich' storyline; that'll never be forgotten and forever remain his moment no matter how badly/well he does here if he does come) ... on the one hand he is King Didier and on the other there are the more practical aspects to look at. But I suspect if him coming back means Torrid fucks off, everyone would be down with that for a while at least

Nah, in Holland.

Van Ginkel turns 22 in December. Can he be counted as an u21 player for the first half of the season?

Pre season performances go both ways - if Zouma and Salah shouldn't be judged too harshly, Boga and Baker or whoever shouldn't be put on a pedestal either; I'm already seeing tags like 'world class talent' being thrown around. Before anyone chips in with how amazing he could turn out to be, I agree he is a real prospect,has been so for a couple of years and doesn't need a goal against Wolfsberger to confirm that, but it's not a bad idea to temper the hype/expectations before we see something concrete developing on the first team front.

Doesn't work that way. Much of the shirt/kit price goes to the manufacturer (among others), the club only receives a fraction. This is Madrid so the fraction might be higher than say ours even though both are with adidas.

Eintracht Frankfurt, Koln .. can't we find PL clubs? Although as long as they get to play regularly, it's alright, I suppose.

I wrote this before the CL final and my opinion hasn't changed so I'll just leave this here as my 0.02$ on the matter:

Sp*rs aren't important enough to be included in the graphic

Just looking to avoid all the travelling post a WC period in which the team comes back in a staggered manner. And in terms of quality of opposition, we're not going to be facing worse teams than we did last season - Malaysia All Stars / Kitchee Sports Club.

Seems like both are staying and he's made up his mind as to who plays more.

Laughable.

You're reacting based on the scoreline, not the play.

Its only against the 8th team in Austria in a no-stakes game but by god is it nice to have a natural LB doing what a natural LB does.
