Abeg lvg should should keep quiet jor. Players play games today for one club and by the following weekend, move to another club without any fuss.
If there is any sort of distraction whatsoever, it is coming from lvg who doesn't know how to be diplomatic!

Well that's selective judgement.But I can see your point in the sense that commercial interest is involved.

Well. . . I think it's playing to the argument that Messi gets favoured.

Messi is not the cherubic figure a lot of us all tend to view him as.
He was once involved in a spitting incident some years ago.
So I don't quite get why people are quick to jump to his defense.

DO you even manage to get to terms with the basic rules of the game you say you follow?
Are the rules for a friendly game any different from those of a competitive one? Answer on a post card.
Yes, he should have been sent off but you know that will scarcely happen - maybe more likelier in a game of higher competitive value.
He is one of the major reasons why a large portion of those spectators are there and we all know these friendlies are just for 'commercial' purposes

I will cut LM10 slack any day any time... that little man gets fouled, harangued, 'harassed' and 'rough-handled' on the field in a gazillion ways that the media never gets to spotlight because he just gets on with it most of the time.
He may not be the "Cherubic" figure we all think him to be atimes - but he is certainly not a lose cannon either - and I think it is admirable that he can at least, in the public eye, keep his composure most times - regardless of it is just an act or not!

As well as reeking of dishonesty, badge kissing is among life’s naffer gestures; but when Rafael did it at the Etihad after a stirring 3-2 victory over Manchester City in December 2012, you can be certain he meant it. As the old joke goes: cut him and he literally bleeds red.

It is not easy to say exactly why Rafael loved United so much; as with romantic love, it’s generally instinctive and indefinable. Some players just get it. United have been blessed in modern times with the number of apparent outsiders who did so: the list includes Ruud van Nistelrooy, Patrice Evra, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Jaap Stam and now Rafael. It is apt, therefore, that many of Rafael’s best moments as a United player had very little to do with football. They involved defending, it’s true - defending the honour of the club and, yes, the badge. The most famous was when he went feral on a visibly startled Carlos Tevez at the Etihad in 2010, an image that still provides wallpaper for thousands of browsers. As United became ever more susceptible to bullying in the final years of Ferguson, it often felt that Rafael was the only one who would stand up to opponents.

-
-
-
In the last two and a bit years, Ferguson, Scholes, Giggs, Evra and now Rafael have left Old Trafford. They all understood and cared deeply about the club; how many of the current squad could you say that about? United used to pride themselves on being different to the nouveau riche clubs in particular, of being built on much stronger foundations, but that can no longer be said. This is not a criticism, because the situation is inescapable. The majority of players no longer represent their club; they represent themselves while wearing the club shirt.

Rafael was different. He loves Manchester United, and many Manchester United fans love him. That he has left the club is unlikely to change that. Cult status, after all, is for life.

Maybe I wasn't hell-bent enough. I just didn't expect the clog in our relationship, then came the ludicrous story about how our families couldn't inter-marry cause of some messed up ancestral bouhaha.

We did try to find "corners/ loophole", but when his parents said the only way we would be married is if we eloped to a foriegn country! And bore children there. We gave up. I'd admit that I gave up first.
If you both really wanted to be together, you wouldn't give up so easily...
Well, you've made a choice, be prepared to be very tough. Cuz this is guaranteed to be tougher than the ordeal with your ex would have been. All the best!

I don't like lvg; he inspires very little confidence in me. I don't think he will bring this club any success or stability, short or long-term.
What this club needs more than anything else is what Simeone brought to Athleti... That passion, that hunger, that drive and fire...

Thanks again... I didn't actually think a return was necessary until, like I said, a ticketing agent told me so. The original plan was a one-way, I guess we will just stick to that. Gracias!

FamilyRe: A Cheating Husband Is Not The Worst Thing That Can Happen In Marriage. by RuuDie(m): 2:34pm On Jun 05, 2015
Amya:
Quick question. If you were a woman and you find out your husband slept with another woman what will you do?

a. Kill yourself by overdosing on pills.

b. divorce your husband and take your kids.

c. None of the above.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating for cheating husbands rather all what I'm trying to do is to let women know that if their spouse cheats on them, it's simply not the end of the world. They should not consider suicide. They shouldn't become bitter and depressed and feel they've failed as a woman just because their husband screws another.
I think it makes more sense to throw these questions to the male-folk... the MARRIED MEN preferably!

They requested for the final to be held at the bernebeu before the 2nd leg semi final.The 2nd leg semi final was played on the 4th march 2015 and the venue selected on the 25th of March.
I get you, I was wrong...
just trying to show that the final would have been held on your home turf had your guys agreed then there wouldn't be any need for your pasha-lity claim grin

In theory, the reason for not choosing a venue at the start of the season is to wait and see who the two finalists are and then play somewhere that is mutually beneficial, somewhere that can host both sets of fans and does not provide either team with an unfair advantage. That's the theory; in practice, it is a shambles.

Both finalists publicly insisted that the Bernabeu was the best option: located in the capital, a roughly similar distance from both cities and easily the biggest available neutral venue, maximizing the number of fans that could attend. They even wrote a joint open letter, requesting that Madrid host the final; again...

Not true. [b] The venue was decided when the finalist emerged [/b]and not before the tournament kicked off.
Before the semi-final second leg, Barcelona's board requested the final be held at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, home of their fierce rivals Real Madrid, as it is the largest stadium in Spain apart from their own Camp Nou.[22] At the same time, according to Barcelona-based newspaper La Vanguardia, the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Ángel María Villar, wanted the final at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao.[22] That decision would give Athletic Bilbao home advantage, but could have been challenged by potential finalist Espanyol, whose team bus was vandalised on their last visit there.[22] On 25 March, the RFEF confirmed that it would be held at Barcelona's Camp Nou.[2]

Immobile is useless . He is an outdated striker the Inzaghi type poacher and strikers of nowadays are required to do more than stand there waiting for passes

He was injured for only 2 weeks this season and he failed woefully. Which better player manager can you get than Jurgen Klopp who invested Dortmunds little money in Ciro and he failed. He looks immobile most of the time
Immobile is an "Inzaghi type poacher" huh If I hear...

I'd give you more than a benefit of doubt if it was a Bayern player we are discussing, but on this one; lai lai... I have seen enough of Ciro to know better. He is by far a more complete, all-round player and scores a variety of goals!
