Hahahaha! Didn't even occur to me.

I read this article several months ago now and just remembered I'd bookmarked it for later use. It's the MK Dons chairman talking about Robbie's time there and a few other things concerning him not long after he was first appointed. The overall piece is definitely worth a read, but the two paragraphs under the "More..." section right around the pic of JT and Torres is the part that really touched me.

If you can read it without a smile and a faint tear in your eye, you're not a real supporter!

Corinthians win 2-1 on aggregate against Santos to advance to the Copa Libertadores Final. This means we definitely will NOT be facing the likes of Neymar and Ganso in the CWC, and will likely play one of Corinthians, Boca, or Universidad de Chile in the Final (should we make it past the semis).

Good, we should still win anyway.

Probably, but I'd rather be facing Boca, Corinthians, etc. than have to come up against a team with two of the most promising young up-and-coming players in Brazilian football.

In a one-off match, anything can happen.

Yes, they certainly are more dangerous.

Plus we would try and get Neymar again had he played well against us.

Yes, I think that's the last thing we want to happen. I, for one, have had enough of that pointless saga.

Good. Didn't want to play Santos.

I don't want Neymar either!

Not sure how true this story is, but if it is indeed true, it makes for some good laughs. We all know he's a egoist to the core, but this honestly takes it to a whole different level.

I particularly liked this little zing they added in:

Villas-Boas is clearly not short of ego, despite his difficult and unsuccessful spell at Stamford Bridge, and his attitude is that a man who won the Portuguese league title, the domestic cup and the Europa League in his one full season with Porto should not be messed around – as if forgetting that his stint lasting eight and a half months at Chelsea was remarkable only for its bad results and his inability to win over key players.

The ego! The ego!

I never thought anything about his narcissism would surprise me anymore, but honestly, this proved me wrong. It's almost embarrassing on his part.

I thought I'd post a tribute to ShedEnd for his recent inputs and Kick, as always, for keeping the section lively during Pre-Season. And to those others posting in as well!

So thumbs up

I remember last year this place becoming a wasteland

You can always count on ShedEnd!

Quality bloke!

Just doing what I can.

Kick

Barrett

Thanks alot, lads.

First of my four Exams down, went ok, one of my Lecuturer's put in all thhe hardest stuff though :/


Did you guys see the BPS images? They look sexy as F**k. Man I wish we had the winning bid.

Link here.

Looks amazing aye, I was lucky only had the one exam

Kinda frustrated with these Moses rumors

Moses aint bad, but we can do better.

Kick wrote:Moses aint bad, but we can do better.

Yeah but I don't think he's our quality, not yet anyway. We need somebody who is first team material right now, that is Hulk. He'll contribute physically and contribute not only assists but goals aswell which could be vital if Torres is not scoring.

That and comon, he is Hulk

Here's some better quality pics (and you can see the really big ones here). But yea, I think it looks stunning. I like that it's not ultra-modern like Eastlands, Emirates, etc are. Very understated and traditional. It even largely resembles the Bridge with the rectangular layout, 4 defined stands, and translucent onings.

Don't think it'll happen though.

Moses = Charles N'Zogbia 2.0

Let him stay at Wigan another season or so. This is one time I actually agree with one of Whelan's rants.

Neither Hulk or Moses for me

Going to be a long summer either way.
