So another couple of our promising youngsters are going to the Bermuda Triangle or as it's more commonly known Vitesse Arnhem.

Had to unfollow premier League Twitter account... For a moment I felt there was some arse fan in my timeline given the amount of tweets about them. Unbearable

What was the crowd like ?

What was the crowd like ?

Actually I missed all the pre season games last year.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Liverpool to finish higher than Chelsea confirmed.

Nothing what people say in here surprises me. Someone said the other day it didnt matter if we lost to the gooners.

[NishC300 1,865]

I like the fact that what we're doing is staying relatively under the radar while our rivals are getting all the hype. It'll take a lot of improvement from the other clubs to match us!

Neeeed football back.

I agree. Still 55 days till the first game of the NFL

And Valdes just hit back on Twitter...

Don't understand what he's implying.

Liverpool meeting the buy-out clause for Beneteke.

liverpool still need a winger

Van Gaal said he refused to play with the U21s, and that is why they're selling him, and those were the U21 games that he played in.

Thanks! Wonder why he only put the scoreline of the game against us? Was that the only one they won?

Dunno. It's all a moot point really though. Playing three games doesn't mean he hasn't refused to play more. I don't really know what to make of the situation. LvG could be right on the money, or he could be losing his marbles. I wouldn't be surprised with either. Although I really wish he would shut up about "philosophy".

I think he's just trying to show his 'toughness' and trying to set some standards at MU. Wants that fear factor that he's the boss and no player is capable of challenging him. Valdes may well just be a player he believed was expendable enough to prove that.

Wants to get that SAF effect I guess (or even what Mourinho is doing here - not tolerating people who don't do what they're told).

He can get away with that being a big name manager unlike Moyes. Wants to stamp his authority possibly, wants to be an intimidating factor.

Because of all the job insecurity managers have these days, many players must feel that if they moan enough - they can get a manager chucked out of the club.

You are probably right.

He just always seems to be spitting his dummy out of the pram. Then again, maybe I've only come to that analogy because he looks like an adult baby.

And a Manager...

Brenda seems to be able to keep her job and have the players,supporters and board not shouting for her head. You would expect that if any manager had insecurity problems it would be her.
