United's newest signing.



His dad had to convince him to train with United as he is a City fan and didn't want to go, ha.

Re: English Football 2011-2012

I get the whole relegation,promotion thing.

But what happens to the bottom teams at the lowest level?

And can a team be promoted into the league from somewhere?

amateur or semi-professional leagues. Any senior team in the country can, theoretically, play in the Prem one day if they get promoted enough.

Re: English Football 2011-2012

There was riggage in Northern Ireland tonight. Ballymena -1 @ 9/5 was the bet. Phone was ****ed (piece of **** as usual) and couldn't post. Oh how I love a good riggage. They won 6-2.

Corrupt as ****.

So Terry is going to get off then. The Fa had to make an example of someone and the cheating foreigner is a better choice than the England captain.

Very cynical, but sadly true.

A while ago Mr Alex Ferguson was complaining about the FA treating United like **** despite the fact that they supply a large number of England players. This is their perfect opportunity to get him back in favour with them, hence why Suarez is being charged despite no conclusive evidence. It's a stich up.

Re: English Football 2011-2012

*grunching*
Suarez looks guilty as hell, and I felt that since the beginning. Part of me is clutching at straws re: the cultural thing, but come on, let us not kid ourselves here. He shouldnt be judged prematurely, but if he is found guilty then he deserves a long ban.

You wouldnt think it was possible, but Terry looks even more guilty. I mean, we got video of him saying "black cnt" - what more evidence could you possibly want? If the Suarez thing never happened, I would still be outraged if Terry wasnt punished. And so should any decent person.

If Suarez gets punished, and not Terry I think my head will explode. My distaste for "the world of football" was already competing fiercely with my love of LFC. Not sure how much more of this I can take. People used to watch football to escape from the drudgery of their daily lives you say? Hard to believe these days.

most of them are amateurs, just everyday people that go to work, have a game of footy on the weekend, then have a few pints afterwards. Its not like everyone is a professional getting tons of money a week.

i dont get y ppl are even a little upset about the suarez/terry situations. even if suarez did indeed continuously use the term negro to evra, u really think he deserves a long ban? whats a long ban 5-10 games? that seems completely and absolutely ridiculous to me. to even get a 1 game ban for either of them seems crazy to me, players talk **** on the field whatever. players from opposite teams legitimately dislike each and they're competing against each other, i think its perfectly natural/acceptable to say basically anything on the field. I'd be fine if they got a nice lil fine and we all moved on, lengthy ban? blasphemy, just my pov...

i mean does negro have the basically the exact same meaning/context as ****** in europe? to me they're two almost completely separate words, negro being the lesser insult by like 10x.. even if he was saying ****** this, ****** that, to evra all game i dont think there should be any banning going on

also john terry would probably be in my top 3 most hated players on the planet list and i still dont think he should be punished for saying black cnt, even if he is found guilty, is there written rules for saying cuss words or insulting opponents on the pitch? if there is, than fine, they get w.e. ban the rules say, but otherwise this is a non issue in my eyes
