'Serious contenders' based on a whole load of 'ifs'.
United's signings should improve them, but I didn't really see anything about the way they were managed last season that says this new lot will likely gell quickly into a team this season. After spending a shit load last summer they still looked very shaky. They're still a team very much in transition, a couple of bad games and they will struggle again.
"Come to City! Stall your career and never get in the National side again!"
Is Delph even that good? He's never impressed me in games against the Arse. He doesn't seem to do much in an England shirt either. But City do like to buy these Englsih players to keep their bench warm. Are English bottoms superior in a seat warming capacity? Maybe that's just some weird fetish that only the beyond super rich can answer. Brit Strut Abroad to speak on it? I'm sure Duder at least has do some related reserch into the subject.
In a bingo card for washed-up footballers, Robinho is close to shouting "house" while elderly ladies give him death stares. A free transfer...check. To a Chinese club...check. On a six-month contract...check. To wear shirt No. 60...check.
Happy about the Sterling move because he honestly just had a pretty poor season, and he wasn't delivering. City will be a better place for him I think, and we will get better use out of a different player.
However, not so happy about immediately going for Benteke. He's definitely an awesome player, but too streaky to be worth that $$$$$$$, IMO, money that could be better spent elsewhere. Benteke had a pretty horrible first half of last season, and only really started cracking in the last two months of the 15 season (when he looked unstoppable I'll admit).
Stoked about Milner and Firmino joining Liverpool. Gomez also is looking sharp in the pre-season matches.
About to go watch Gerrard vs Barcelona next week in Los Angeles (Rose Bowl), will report back. No Messi or Neymar, but apparently Suarez will be there along with the rest of the squad. (The most excitement us Merrimen can hope for over the summer!)
No offence Jim but City are so tawdry and underhand. staffed by all manner of snides or bores at all levels.
Seems completely joyless tbh.
Worked well for Un*ted.
Football equivalent of inflatable sex doll.

Unless it's Elton John and David Furnish.
On reflection, I'm seeing a post-bang dropdown menu, with selections ranging from "read a book love, I'm knackered" through the median option of "yes, please DO lay your head on my shoulder such that I will be clammy and uncomfortable all night PLUS lose the use of that arm ALL DAY tomorrow" to the full nuclear "more than delighted to chat for 6 hours about how many kids you want, the birthing plans, how your mum so wants to be a grannie BUT NOT NAN, OK??!1!!, your favoritest ever birthday present when you were 6" etc etc.
Could be a winner, Jim.
I'm also seeing a 200db snore button, drool control and a toilet tripometer randomly set between 2 and 5. Programmable Tourette's sleep-talk function might be a step too far doe.

Was that posted in this thread? I didn't even see it... Maybe the universe telling me to not let myself look like a complete idiot again.
Crazy money for Muller. I doubt it would happen. Is Man U's new strategy just to take on the German national team for their own? It would probably work better than REDS trying to bring over the whole of Southampton.
MLS tenacity is definitely something. The Galaxy's counterattack was vicious when it needed to be. b/w congrats to NY Red Bulls for crushing Chelsea. :beerbang:
Iniesta shut shit down. Was a total pleasure to witness dude literally run circles around people for the 45 minutes he played.

They'll do for the FA Cup.
Personally I think Nasri needs a kick up the backside so more pressure on him to graft is welcome.
Speaking of other City mids who needed to grasp the concept of putting a shift in, good article here:

Fuck that.
:lol:
Raheem Sterling must be so thankful to Delph for grabbing the limelight from him. My god.
So awesome. John Oliver is going to be pissed he didn't think of doing this first.

Depends on male/female ratio.
And also if any of you have a friendship.
