Which is why the mainstream media never linked him with an English club. It makes them look silly when they say "Hargreaves is shit and must be dropped", only to report that United, Spurs and whoever else want to buy him. I suppose, but you'd still expect a club to launch a bid if they wanted him, not wait until his price tag increased.

Oh fuck off, I'm not arguing with you lot twisting my words. And Lost Soul, maybe I'm wrong, but I can't remember any English team other than Spurs ever being linked with Hargreaves before the World Cup, the media were always on his back saying he wasn't good enough to play for England. Edit: Ace, they launched a bid last summer right after the world cup which didn't go through for some reason or another, and then I think they tried again in January (not too sure about the January part, but they definitely were in talks last summer). I know he was good for Bayern, it's why I liked him, I just don't remember anyone (other than Spurs) being reported to be interested in him.

So Ferguson said "He had a good World Cup lets sign him". What a load of crap. Hargreaves is a good player. He's being signed because he is a good player. e Were they interested in him before the world cup? Not really, I believe Tottenham were the only premiership club who wanted him; everyone else thought he was a waste of time. He had a good world cup and everyone in the media started parading about how he's a great player, all of a sudden United want him, then he plays 10 games in a season, so you can hardly say "he proved himself after the world cup too". I could be wrong, but if United were after him pre-World Cup, they'd have got him far far cheaper, instead they waited for his price to increase. :blink: How do you know that? That pretty much indicates that I don't know it, but it's only logical. Apparently I stand corrected, I don't remember it though, the only English team I ever recall being interested in Hargreaves was Tottenham about 3 years back, I think Rangers or Celtic wanted him too, but I can't remember Fergie being after him, maybe he was. :ohwell:

Queen's We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions. Scratch that, pretty much anything by Queen. Edit: Mustang Sally? Edit 2: I fought the law (and the law won)

Is this the way to Armarillo and I Would Roll 500 Miles. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper too possibly.

But they're both Spanish, so obviously they're the same.

They've signed him on the basis that he had a good world cup, wouldn't be surprised if he flopped badly, that being said I'm a fan of OH and have wanted him in England for a few years now.

Don't be so stupid. We just won't have one. But Safestyle wasn't a shock seeing as Ken Bates does the advert for it before each game. It was either them or LSS - the 'waste management' company

Leeds just move their badge across, I'm sick of the home kit being the same shit year in year out, but they add a stripe or something. We need a decent change. And I had £5 on our sponsor being Safestyle UK this year.

I'm going for both Britpop and Grunge, grunge because it has brought me some of my favourite acts including Foo Fighters and Nirvana, and Britpop for the reasons Hammy mentioned.

I heard this song the other day on Radio 1's Blackhole, it was a collaboration of Sing for Absolution and Sing for the Moment. I thought it was pretty decent, any idea what the song is called and where the heck I can find it?

We're supposed to be getting Leon Constantine and Tomasz Radzinski (it's going to be a long season if I have to spell his name on here regularly), and 4 others. If those two arrive it will practically seal the deal to send Healy away from Elland Road - which was inevitable. And Nicholls is PNE-nound, shame to be honest, because he was a good player, he's just a general wanker. Anyway, I expect a rush of Leeds comings and going from Tuesday, seeing as we'll be finally be given the green light.

We'll play our best team and still go out because we fail infinitely at cups... well leagues too, but we're even worse in the cups.

Bwahahaha, its true

I paid 56m for Mascherano... but so far he's been worth it.

Because I believe he was mentally ill and not to blame for his actions, not to say they weren't absolutely appalling, but I - personally - don't believe he can be held responsible for his actions because he wasn't sane. I don't want this to turn into a "you're kidding yourself" vs. "you're just buying the media hype", but that's why I still want a RIP graphic to Benoit (should've included Nancy and Daniel too, I suppose).

Feel free to use it without credit.

Thanks, this was an accidental double post at first, but its come in useful. Do I just click accept and I'll do both automatically? Nevermind, yes.

Right, so I've been offered the England job, I want to accept it, but will I still be manager of Barca, or can I only run club or country, as opposed to both?

Is there any way to see who has a minimum release clause without clicking through each player you're half interested in, clicking "Make an Offer" and looking? Because its hard - obviously - to sign world class players, especially when I can't tap them up for some reason.

Seeing as I couldn't really set off before 4, there's no way I'd get to Birmingham by 5.

Not really, we just vastly over-achieved and then sold/lost the only players doing well for us.

I did that year ago..... Still heard nothing. Hope we turn our form around then.

Clearly you're so good they'll let you enter both... You'll then win both.
