Too happy reading about the transfer news until I've completely forgotten this fact. A very interesting situation indeed

Bro alien, from your experience, which TV listing should be trusted more - ESPN/Star Sports or the one on Astro's site when it comes to ESPN/Star Sports showings?

At 4pm today on ESPN/Star Sports site it says for Malaysian region the FA Cup rerun on show is Man United v Southampton. On the other hand, Astro's TV listing says it's the Chelsea v Everton game.

I missed the cup tie so I'm trying to catch the rerun here. Thanks

Yes they are

But really, c'mon, with their recent "achievements", they still expect Torres to stay for another couple of years? With no CL and all?

Hmm true true

One of my post gone missing ka? TBH I'm more worried I posted it in the wrong thread. LOL.

edited: crap. I just realized that it was posted in the Chelsea thread

Then Berba would've left for Chelsea a long time ago. lol. In Rooney's case maybe he was feeling more relieved than happy and wanting to celebrate and all. I bet it was a "Finally!" kind of game for him.


sinno everything also nak cute cute. lol. even the girl in the avatar. wadahekk.


TT - typical terry. jangan torres end up like the player who commited suicide tu sudah. if im not mistaken that involved his brother... or was that a different story? read thesun too much for gossips

Gaz Nev out so we have only 24/25 on our squad list. How does this squad list work anyway? Is there a deadline to submit it or something and have we passed it? We also have the CL knockout stage squad list also kan?

Rugi je. We've missed only the BPL deadline or the CL one as well?

ini malam sappork itu satu lg team baju merah

Amin

Don't forget Zidane. One of the few players who could get past players with ease. Not to forget, the likes of Ronaldo Luis and Zidane played most of their football when crunching tackles were allowed. Players these days get so much protection against heavy tacklers. This is why the old school greats are commonly regarded as greater than the modern ones.

The opposite of Messi's problem. lol.

FFFUUUUUUU~



Btw, that Trappatoni should keep his trap shut. Never heard of the word 'backup'? We only have to think about giving Gibbo a transfer/loan to some other smaller team so he can get more playing time? And when our midfielders get injured, what? Simply use some untested U18 player? What if he's in our situation, people telling his backup player to not turn up for an international friendly game? If his first 11 player gets injured, he has no tried and tested player to act as backup. Then baru nak see it from our side?

If the Irish FA pays 50% of Gibbo's wage then he can talk.

meracau ke?

In the first place the club has no problem with players representing their countries. We let them use our players (sometimes even at stupid periods when we have a packed schedule) and hope they return without any injuries. So, why can't international team coaches like Trappatoni show some respect by keeping such thoughts only to himself? Clubs at times are 'forced' to let their players go at crucial times during a season (e.g. Park) and now have to bow down to such disruptive advices made to the players they are paying week in week out?

Easy for him to say. If Gibbo follows his advice, then we'll lose a promising player we've been developing from young. Whereas for Senor Trap, whether Gibbo moves or stays he still can call him for the Irish team. O'Shea since old has been a backup man most of every season, we should sell him too then to please his international coach.

Though to be honest, O'Shea is no first eleven week in week out now is he?

But here the focus is on how Trappatoni conducted himself. Going public, telling Gibbo to move away from Old Trafford just so he can get an Irish player with more playing time at his disposal? Selfish and disrespectful don't you think? I'd like to think Sir Alex and his backroom team have specific development plans for his younglings. But this guy, what he's doing is pretty much saying "Screw the plans the MU management have for you and move to a team that will give you more playing time right away". Pretty much the same thing Maradona did when Tevez was with us and was so-called "benched more than the other strikers" when he was getting almost equal outings compared to Berba and Wazza.

Two international team coaches did this to us already. For Pete's sake, Scholes is going to be 37 this year. If Fletcher can wait years and years to become a regular first eleven, why can't Gibbo then? Also, in Pique and Rossi we can see that SAF knows when to let these young players go for the sake of their development. He is no selfish manager who won't let players move just so he can have a good player or backup player at his dispossal. So now enlighten me this; who is Trappatoni to tell United to let go of Gibbo whenever he feels like it? What he said was without any knowledge on MU's player development plan I bet!


p/s: Even Ronaldo was given the blessing to move to Madrid by SAF. His only advice and wish was that Ronaldo had stayed for one more season so that his departure will be more accepted by fans as opposed to when the media was making him to be a 'spoilt brat groaning and yelling to be given a transfer to his boyhood dream club'.

Also, I used O'Shea to compare simply because he was also in the Irish starting line up the other day despite not being a regular starter at United. Senor Trappy didn't seem to mind that so why be disrespectful towards the club with Gibbo as the subject?
