Oh oh oh. Apparently that striped mess I posted earlier is just a training top, this is our actual third kit:

 

 

[Der_Don]

^That looks really good imo.

[GTA_stu]

 

Is that f*cking Jedward?

 

That Man City 3rd shirt does look pretty nice. Chelsea's kits look good again imo. Tbh out of the PL teams, ours and Arsenal's kits have been the best over the last few years I think, maybe I'm biased with regards to Chelsea though.

[Crokey]

Well it's miles better than that black and red cock up, not a white kit fan myself.

 

However the watermark at the bottom is for a guy called Dan Freebairn who's a Graphic Designer from Manchester and looking on his Twitter page there is photos of that kit as well as the first kit and they all have the holes in the sides which the first kit doesn't have, so I'm guessing it's a mock up.

It is indeed a mock-up. Basically since the only image of the third was the one you posted there he drew up what it would look like whole.

Manchester United have handed a professional deal to Donald Love.

 

The cannibal?

I wouldn't pay attention to the FIFA rankings. They are not accurate.

Hopefully he'll able to consistently and diligently eat away at the opposition's defence.

Spurs sign Paulinho for £17m. I guess they were watching him at the Confed Cup even though I didn't see much of him.

it's not hard

 

i am really hoping that thiago joins united, I like him, sees to be a fine young player, looked over the stats from last year, better than cesc and iniesta in passing accuracy and better than cesc, xavi and iniesta in tackling and interceptions, he seems to be able to do it all to a degree, he has a bright future if he gets games, he will get games at united.

That's true

 

As for Thiago, he'd be a great signing and he's only 22. Moyes will give him plenty of game time too, which is what he needs to become the fantastic player he is capable of becoming.

 

Also whats happening to Darren Flethcer? Not seen/heard much of him recently. Last I heard was that he underwent surgery in January but I haven't heard anything since.

He could be fit for next season which will be a massive boost. I heard this back in May so not quite sure myself.

Usain Bolt will play in Rio Ferdinand's testimonial next month, haha I can't wait to see this.

I watched most of Brazilian Confed Cup matches games 3 or 4 times (those that I didn't go to), and I felt Paulinho played wonderfully. I didn't know much about him before, but he did a great job setting up our goals and finishing. I really felt he played just as much as Neymar, if not more. Definitely worth the 17mil.

Thought that was real for a minute there.

 

A referee has been beheaded in Brazil after he stabbed a player to death in an altercation !!!!

Got some news on Darren Fletcher

 

EDIT: He has actually had his final operation. It went well and it apparently takes about month to get used to the way his body functions. Hopefully he will be back soon

Imagine if something like that happened in the Prem?!

 

@Tommy.: Yeah I saw that too, I reckon he'll be back around Christmas time. Always liked Fletcher.

Oh my God, I find it irritating how everyone keeps comparing this to professional football. That's why I hate watching the news nowadays.

 

1) This took place in a town of 25,000 people that has no professional teams. This was nothing more than a pick-up match amongst friends.

2) No team in that entire STATE has a top-tier team. The capital of the state has ONE team on the fourth division.

3) It is clear the player and the referee had personal problems prior to this and the referee was a psycho. He stabbed the player for no reason as there was no altercation within the match itself.

 

There's no point in comparing this with the EPL. If you're gonna compare it with something, compare it with you and a few friends playing football at a local pitch. I've had people come to me saying "I'm not coming to the World Cup, Blah, Blah, Blah."

 

Stupid f*cking media amping up retarded local stories.

[GTA_stu]

Well said Carva.

 

Chelsea signed Marco Van Ginkel a couple of days ago. Looks promising, but do we really need another goddamned midfielder. We need a striker is what we need, possibly a centre back as well. I imagine we'll loan him out, otherwise he'll just rot, and probably not even on the subs bench. I guess it depends on who we sell between now and the beginning of the season as well.

For the record, I wasn't comparing it to the PL, I only said "Imagine if something like that happened in the PL"..

 

@Stu: You do seem a bit overpopulated in midfield.

Oh no, I meant the people in the article's comment section who were thinking of insane scenarios of referee's getting shot in the World Cup.

Grant Holt to Wigan? Does he know they're not in the Prem anymore?

He says he's a box-to-box midfielder and he's already being touted as Lampard's replacement. I doubt he'll be loaned out this season. Mourinho might decide to play him sporadically against weaker teams so we can tell if he can actually replace Lamps in the future.
