It's not THAT serious till I have to talk to a professional. And nope, it's not love. Just something related to studies and future working career.

It's obvious some people just don't quite understand the concept of squad depth.

United are actually playing them this Saturday, 13th August, not Monday. And no doubt they would want to give their all against us, but let's not worry ourselves too much about that. It's only the 1st pre-season game. All about getting up to speed at this stage and let's just enjoy watching the team play again (finally!). We have more than enough quality to win this game anyway.

Think Mourinho would appreciate having a squad player like Moses. He could be used like how SWP was before by Mourinho. And not to mention, Moses is one of our only two genuine options on the right flank. Why create unecessary problems by selling him? Last season, we complain about not having enough squad depth and options. Now, when we have (nearly) solved that, people want to sell this player, sell that player at the slightest opportunity and after just 1 season at the club. People have been well spoilt by watching too much of Mata, Hazard, Oscar etc last season...

What can one do when he/she can't get answers to a troubling thought? Where can one to go if that's the case? *sigh*

Going by this article posted in the last page, that would be no. Sky have more of the dominant rights here.

Liverpool v Stoke in the early kick off?!!

That maybe true but think you're overstating it a little bit. It's generally normal for new players to come in and hang out with others to know them better and make new friends, not just from the players coming perspective but also those that are already here. Don't exactly need a manager to tell the present players to do that. Nope. They are only flying out to Asia on Thursday evening.

Tough to say that we will go unbeaten like that again but Mourinho will certainly provide that fear factor in us again and make teams afraid of coming here(can be a bad thing though) and more importantly, ensure we pick up more wins and less silly results at the Bridge.

Better hope the board doesn't go and press the panic button when things go wrong...

I've stated in the 1st post. The match kicks off at 2pm UK time and 8pm in Bangkok.

Guys, do take note of the match kick off time (stated in 1st post). It will be in the afternoon in UK and evening/night in Thailand.

Amusing. People here complaining about Moses and saying we should sell him have a short term memory and only focusing on his post-AFCON form, forgetting that before it, he did very well for us. It's clear that some people just don't understand the concept of squad depth and having options in the team. Can't bloody expect to have the quality of Mata, Oscar, Hazard sitting on the bench being the 2nd/3rd choice! Moses is more than decent to have as an option and come in to do a job if/when needed.

Right...Lets sell one of our only two genuine options on the right and weaken the squad depth...

Think he will start in the domestic cup competitions especially the Capital One Cup. Incredible prediction...

Schurrle and fashion was born to go together. And what's up Marco's face looking like that in most of his pictures so far?!
