Speaking of Liverpool, yeah their kit is laughable.

Have you seen our kits for next season? nicely modelled by Rushie, God and Didi.

 

 

I think Reina is still a decent keeper but no where near as good as his early Liverpool form, he never really fills me with confidence any more and i think a change was/is needed. Mignolet pulls off some amazing saves from point blank. A bloody loan deal to Napoli though, my god we're still sh*t at doing deals.

 

 

Liverpool v Melbourne Victory: quality in patches. Highlight was the 95,446 singing YNWA, epic stuff.

I watched it on telly and the atmosphere was amazing, both in Australia and in Indonesia, the fans have been fantastic over there. Off to Thailand now which should be just as mental. Anfield really needs to step it up for league games after this.

As for Reina, I agree with you there. I do find it strange why he's on loan to Napoli. Why would you want him back?

[Joseph Cooke]

That united away kit isn't bad at all.

 

Speaking of kits, I have been proved wrong by Nike who I didn't give a chance before our kits came out. Genuinely love the three kits they've released. Dunno which to buy.

That Reina deal will more than likely turn into something permanent. In fact it probably already is.

[Nlwt]

That united away kit isn't bad at all.

 

I think it's alright, it will definitely grow on me. I loved last season's away kit so I knew whatever the away kit would be this season, I wouldn't like it as much as last seasons.

[Joseph Cooke]

it will definitely grow on me.

You getting smaller? *ba dum, tsk*

Surprised to hear Gervinho being linked with Roma. Aren't they one of those very racist Italian clubs?

Wonderful, touching incident. RESPECT to Feyenoord

[Der_Don]

Great gesture that. Very moving.

[A J]

Much respect to Feyenoord.

 

Is there much truth in the reports of Suarez wanting to talk to the gunners? 40million is a lot to turn down and potentially upset a dressing room, as much I like Suarez as a player, our club deserves better than this lack of respect from his part. He needs to come out and make broad statement to the press, the club and us the fans.

 

Sad to see Reina go, very decent keeper still in my opinion, experience counts for a lot in that position, and he was a likable guy. Hope he does well for Napoli.

 

As for our kits, the less said, the better These Warrior kit designers must be closet United fans or something

Ah sure why would we need any, we strolled to the title last year

Well Zaha scored a goal today, technically signed in January but you know the deal.

[Banks.]

City have spent £70M more than any other club with more signings to come. Talk about buying the title. I thought Pellegrini would of learnt from Mancini that buying the title doesn't always work

 

Nah atleast there's competition this year because last season was a stroll in the park tbh.

Pretty sure Chelsea will win it comfortably this year. Their squad is just insanely good.

We let you, so we could get rid of Fergie

 

Taking one for the team there.

It was hardly Pellegrini. You forget they signed two players (Fernandinho, Navas) prior to Pellegrini coming to the club.

[Joseph Cooke]

 

Talk about buying the title.

You've just contradicted yourself there, brah.

 

And that last one doesn't even make sense; if buying the title doesn't work.....then you haven't bought it.

@Der_Don: That, and they have Mourinho at the helm.

 

At the mo' I can see us winning it, but I do fear Chelsea may bring in one or two more during the later stages of the window.

[Banks.]

I missed the 'trying' because I was typing on my phone. Yeah slaughter me for it blah blah blah. Don't need to get pissy. It was a joke so chill out and have a drink.

 

Jedi, Pellegrini surely had something to do with them I would think.

 

Der Don, I agree that Chelsea will be force this season. Can't wait for it to start!

[Joseph Cooke]

Indeed.

@Jedi: Pellegrini mentioned in his first press conference that those two (Fernan' and Navas) were his signings.

 

And we ain't done, so he says. I'd imagine a new CB to replace Kolo.

[Nlwt]

At the mo' I can see us winning it, but I do fear Chelsea may bring in one or two more during the later stages of the window.

I see Chelsea as top contenders for the title.

I reckon top 4 will be even closer.

[I cucked Alex Jones]

f*cking idiot

[Frenzzy]

He's aiming to lengthen the title drought.

[GroundZero]

Olympiacos have acquired Javier Saviola for two years... this time they might just make it through the Champions League Group Stage

[Banks.]

Personally I feel Chelsea are the biggest threat for our title now Jose is back. I still believe that we will snatch it like. People are underestimating United big time.

[Girish]

And some of you guys seem to be overestimating us. It's going to be tough this season. Jose himself said that he doesn't think it would be possible to win the PL in his first season like last time. These are younger players who need to adapt to Mourinho's playing style and regime. It won't be easy.

 

On the topic of kits;

 

 

Always loved the kits Adidas makes for Chelsea. Can't remember the last time I saw a Chelsea kit that I hated.

[Joseph Cooke]

f*cking idiot

Not necessarily untrue. Arsenal are the only Top 4 team with the same manager this season. Bit o' consistency.

 

Although no, I can't envision them winning it.

[Banks.]

I think Chelsea have had some horrible away kits over the years but them ones are nice. I don't like it when clubs don't stick to the clubs true colours though.

[Mark]

That white one is seriously nice. Shame about the team .

 

I see Arsene has given up then. Nine year drought for us then! He'll be gone by this time next year if he doesn't sign anyone.

[Nlwt]

People are underestimating United big time.

Now more than ever. Whilst I was out today I was overhearing some Arsenal fans talking about how they think United won't even make top 10. I was embarrassed for them

 

I like that black Chelsea kit tbh.
