Wasn't the pay raise considerably less than what was being rumored he was being offered at City? His deal here was about 175k/wk while was being rumored iirc was 200k and above. At the end of the day, what is relevant is that he did stay. Same with Gerrard at Liverpool who was even much much closer to actually leaving.

Sorry guys, Jim has been pretty busy lately and he's the only one who knows how to deal with stuff like that. If you find it unbearable, you can always use the desktop site even on mobile.

Chomsky on media dealing with Charlie Hebdo: Hollywood has always followed the state and media agenda in what it glorifies and vilifies. Take a look at the evolution of the most popular idea of a bad guy in hollywood movies: From the evil cowboy on a horse to the evil Italian mafia leader to the evil Russian communist/mob leader to a Arab terrorist with a hint of Chinese here and there. And this has never been more clear than the current shameless glorification of war crimes and racism in "America Sniper". And it's very clear why they do it. It's simply a very effective way of brain washing and indoctrination. Example: I just look forward to a movie about a courageous american drone pilot soon

What? Jose should have absolutely fuck all to do with what we sing The "authority" of the fans at any football club is greater than that of the manager. We are the base of the club and the only constant in it. The jabs at Frank and the mind games aside, in principle, the manager has absolutely no right to demand that the fans chant or stop chanting anything or even how loud they are. Even if he is right, it is completely disrespectful to the fans of his club.

Mate, I know your intentions are good but, firstly, this is the wrong thread for this question. Try checking out the tickets section. Secondly, and more importantly, we do not allow people talking on here about selling or buying tickets for anything other than face value. That would be considered ticket touting which is the club rules.

Merged with the Premier League Thread. The table is a good idea, though. Maybe we can have @Jason, edit his OP here and edit it after each round?

Nope. Homegrown status has nothing to do with nationality but with where the player played between the ages of 15 and 21.

Stingay? Say no more, I'm on it!

This winter has probably been the best one in years. We got proper rain and snow on the mountains, but also plenty of sunny warm whether where you can go out wearing a t-shirt and enjoy the day. Unfortunately, not very good for the tens of thousands of homeless people in Lebanon, Syria and Palestine, I must say though... Regarding studying, I'll tell you what I always tell my friends who are still in university: Hang in there. It all gets better when you're done. Unemployment rocks!

I had plans for a picnic (I can't swim and I find snow to be too....cold! ), but I over-slept so much, I literally woke up at 1pm! So, yeah, "lazy" is a pretty accurate description! Hows the whether in your area?

A good win means that we can rest a couple of players and play with a bit less effort in the return leg before the City match. As far as I'm concerned, best team possible and do everything to practically end the tie in the first leg.

Today, half my friends are on the beach and the other half are skiing. Lebanon can be such a weird country...

That man is not his agent, he's a fraud. Salah himself just said so:

As it should be. The bunny is trying to look too cute to be elbowed!

Well it was until you brought it up again and reminded us all...

Van Gaal calling them Queens Park Raisins just made my day! :lol:

Looked more to me like "he hates scoring"!

Certainly not lower than Willian's football IQ, though! Only Willian can make me want to put my head through a wall when we're 4-0 up before HT....and I thought he had a very good game!

DON'T. Please don't explain it to me. I only read the first 4 words of that post. I don't want to know. The fact that I can literally make no sense at all of that photo is exactly what makes it epic!

What exactly is an "attempted key pass"? Doesn't a pass by definition has to be successful in order to be classified as a key pass or not? I mean surely the pass has to reach its target for us to know if the recipient will shoot on goal or not?! :confused: As always, the discussion on here about Oscar is "metaphysical" to me Here's my humble contribution to the thread, nonetheless: Excellent classy finishes on both of the goals and a great performance overall. My motm because he was our best "presser" which for me is what won us the match so easily and helped us dominate.

Except those are NOT his exact words. Watch the video. He said that Salah can't leave and then he made a joke about the club giving him 50m to spend.

Tbf, I think that has more to do with the fact that people associated James more with the utterly horrendous haircuts than the record! Seriously speaking, obviously for Petr himself it is a huge deal like any major individual record is for top players. It ensures that his name is always mentioned whenever the record is which could be for a long time because I can't see the record being broken any time soon. It also probably makes a great case for him to be remembered as the best keeper in the history of the EPL over the likes of Schmeichel and Van Der Sar, especially that he already has the best clean sheet ratio among the "greats". James was mostly an idiot and not even a record like that was going to change that view, while for a world class player like Petr who's always played at the very top level, a record like that can change how "history" remembers him. Practically for us, it could be a factor in him deciding whether he want to move abroad or to a local team (probably a rival) in the summer. It's also nice for us fans to have a club legend of ours holding the ultimate record for his position. Bragging rights, part of history and all that....

Technically we can win it with 3 draws and a penalty shoot-out win!

I think the players realize that he's passing through a rough period and that a goal is important for him.

That doesn't sound like Jose at all!
