I was talking about Scholes on the pitch. I don't think he's as quit en proffestional as you say. He easily gets frustrated, and when he is frustrated he does some of the dirtiest tackles. He's holding on the players shirts pulling them down, in the most clever way... The only thing Scholes kan do, is shoot.

Forlan might not be the best/biggest star around, but I definantly prefer Forlan over Scholes.

Why would you delete someone's opinion, because you can't think of any arguments to prove the opposite?

That sums it up perfect!!

Out of interest Dom, what the team you support??
 
Don Domenico seems a confused individual - Scholes is WORLD CLASS. Raul was quoted in saying "My favourite player in the Champions League over the years has been Scholes. Every team should have a Paul Scholes." That says it all . . .

Oh, Don, Forlan OVER Scholes? Different players, different positions, amigo . . .
 
Yes they might play different positions, but Scholes is keeping Forlan out of the starting line -up.

P.S. I think it's pretty weak from some of the Pro Evo members here to for example call me a confused individual just because i have a different opinion about Scholes.
 
ok, soo liam miller's contract has been tied up, we got dong fazhou (or whatever) as well, just to wait on robben ... ;) hey does anyone have anything special on this miller kid?

-azn
 
Liam Miller is quite the exciting young player. He's had alot of injury worries over the years and it's only this season that Martin O'Neill has been able to give him a good run in the side. Miller has also popped up with a few goals for Celtic this season and has really impressed.

"Champagne" Charlie Nicholas was on Soccer AM this morning saying that he wished Glasgow Celtic were more like Manchester United in the way they're bringing in the great young players and gave the following examples: John O'Shea, Darren Fletcher and now Liam Miller.

I think Miller will be a good addition but will definitely be one for the future. For what I've heard and from what I've seen, he's a player who likes to control the midfield and a good passer of the ball. I think he falls somewhere between the likes of a Keane and a Scholes. Not quite as defensive as Keane and not as much of an attacker as Scholes but all that could change under Ferguson's tutelege. It depends on how he feels he'll feel in the United system.
 
What do you guys make of this? I doubt anything will happen over it but just wondering on a Man Yoo fans view...

Man Yoo Probed Over Transfer Deal

THE Football Association is to investigate a £2.3m deal that brought Manchester United's American goalkeeper to Old Trafford after allegations of hidden payments to agents.

The Sunday Times has uncovered evidence that a six-figure sum was paid to an agent who is a business partner of Jason Ferguson, son of Sir Alex Ferguson, the United manager.



The FA inquiries raise fresh questions about conflicts of interest in transfers involving Ferguson and his son's company, the Elite Sports Group.

The Old Trafford board warned Ferguson two years ago to avoid dealing with his son's company to prevent the appearance of impropriety.

However, inquiries into the secret transactions surrounding the transfer of the American Tim Howard have uncovered involvement by Jason's agency and his close business partners.

The Sunday Times has passed leaked documents about the transfer to the FA's compliance unit, which investigates football transfers. A member of the compliance team said the papers appeared to show "clear breaches" of FA rules.

David Davies, the FA's executive director, said: "Various documents are now in our possession. They will be studied very carefully and any breach of the rules and regulations that they show will then be discussed as a matter of urgency."

Howard was transferred from Metrostars, a New York club, in July. The fee was modest by today's standards and the deal appeared relatively straightforward.

Surprisingly, United hired a Swiss football agent — whose English was so patchy that Howard's American agent could not understand him — to "obtain a work permit to play in England". Yesterday a spokesman for United was unable to explain why a foreign-based agent with no expertise in English immigration law was chosen.

When the deal was signed on July 14, United paid a substantial sum to the agent, Gaetano Marotta. Leaked internal documents show that Marotta then paid $225,000 (£139,000) — most of his commission — to Mike Morris, a Monaco-based agent.

Marotta and Morris have close financial ties with Jason's Elite agency. Elite allows Morris to use its Manchester offices, pays his mobile phone bills and they share the same financial and legal advisers.

When Marotta was approached last week, he denied knowing Morris, Elite or Jason. In a later call, he changed his mind and claimed he actually had rolling partnership agreements with both Morris's agency and Elite. Marotta said: "All my players I have in Europe; Mike Morris and Elite Sport have the priority. I know Elite Sport; Elite Sport is my friend. I have a relationship with them."

Morris confirmed he had an agreement with Marotta, which began two years ago, but he denied he had been involved in the Howard deal. He refused to comment on his invoice to Marotta in relation to the Howard transfer and declined to answer further questions.

United's spokesman said he was not aware of the business relationships between the three agencies. He also said the club had no knowledge of any involvement by Morris or Elite in the Howard transfer.

A director at the club said: "This relationship is not known by the club. It would raise questions. In the deals I know of, none of those parties [Marotta, Morris and Elite] came together or were ever presented as having any links. Yes, Marotta was involved in the deal; the rest of them is news."

He added: "As a board, as a public company, you are concerned about conflicts [of interest] all the way along. That has been made clear to Sir Alex in relation to Elite."

On Friday, Jason denied his company had an agreement with Marotta and that Elite had been involved in the Howard deal. "There is no partnership agreement between our firm and Marotta. We were not involved in the transfer of Tim Howard," he said.

The House of Commons All-Party Football Group is to publish a report on football finance next month. Its chairman, Alan Keen, said it was almost certain to follow it with an inquiry into the conduct of football agents.

The Inland Revenue has expressed concern about the use of cash by players' agents and has begun its own inquiry.

Did you hear Shearer the end of the match? What a f****** prick!

Well he was right, it was a clear penatly, even the ref admitted it after the game. And he's right when he said "Had I been wearing a red shirt, it would have been a penalty". He summed it up brilliantly IMO.
 
To be fair I don't think the ref would've given it if it happened at the other end. When it happened so quickly there's no way he could've been 100% sure. Anyway it got evened out when Man Yoo's goal was disallowed wrongly. Still a good point for Newcastle.
 
I broke the thread but it seems to be working again. Must've been the shock of me posting in here...
 
Its the tone he used. He sounded like a right whingeing old git. We had a perfectly good goal dissallowed, but as they say these things even themselves out.

The forums thinks the thread has more posts than it actually has ;)

The Arsenal thread has the same problem. When it's almost time for a new page, the forum already thinks a new page is there based on the amount of posts.
 
i think its due to the fact that some posts have been deleted, dunno for sure tho.

the EPL is wide open again, what with united only one point ahead and chelski winning again!!
 
c'mon the toon!!!! we played brilliantly and shearer was absolutely spot on with what he said. what some of you man u fans might not realise is that the whole country, bar you's, can see your cheating ways. you always hear one of the pundits or somebody else make a cheeky little comment about you's when penalties are being debated. plus, you's have a dig at shearer, why can't he have a one at you's.
