Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

Badran Mohammad Al-Shagran (born January 19, 1974) is currently a retired Jordanian professional football player. He made his professional debut in the Jordan League in 1993 for Al-Ramtha SC. He played 3 games in the UEFA Intertoto Cup 1996 for FC KAMAZ-Chally Naberezhnye Chelny.

Sczielny

Manchester United have sold the naming rights to their training ground as part of a sponsorship deal with the insurance firm Aon, the club's current shirt sponsors, estimated to be worth $230m (£150m).

The eight-year agreement with Aon starts in July – from when Carrington will be known as the "Aon Training Complex" – and is a further sign of the club's off-field money-making abilities.

Wtf

Hopefully it won't be long before we're playing in the Mr Potato Arena

mange tout, papiss, mange tout

Glad to see Big Sam back in his rightful place as the most successful English manager in the league

Are they going to attempt a minute's silence tonight?

Been wonderin all day, surely not

I hope they do. I mean that.

daily mail says there are no plans for any kind of tribute

what was the streaming site w/the funny name that matt dc uses

wiziwig?

Literally can't muster a single good reason that explains my watching this

Me either. Hoping something might happen I suppose. These are the two boringest behemoths imaginable.

Giggs has a fatal weakness for the unnecessary backheel

Nice try son, you can't strike a pose for that one

free was going in too

does possession tell the full story of a football match? "sometimes it never does", proffers steve mcmanaman.

How come John Terry looks evil, while Phil Jones looks merely gormless? They're kinda similar.

lol surely there was an easier way for Nasri to hit that

good player

That was pretty amazing.

didn't he already score that goal though?

wow

through the united defence like a stake through thatcher's heart.

this game didn't deserve that goal

still not sure this has been worth my evening tbh

not at all sure why i chose this over either peter brotzmann or brixton death party, besides laziness.

Kun? I've switched over to Game of Thrones, quickly realised I couldna be arsed with a pair of shit/good teams playing badly for no stakes

a glum Michael Owen all suited up and sitting on his own did bring a little chuckle

what would an 'interior life of michael owen' thread look like?

can't decide whether defending Thatcher or defending McManaman is more hateful tbh

honestly lost count of the number of teams I've wanted to be relegated this calendar yr for quote-unquote moral reasons. six or seven I think. a record in the modern game!

tbf Man U were never in any danger

Margaret Thatcher's former sports minister, Richard Tracey, shared that view and told 5 live: "Frankly I think it's rather cheap that they decided not to show any sort of respect for her, because, to be honest, she did really deliver what football is today, particularly with the Taylor report, and the all-seater stadia. Football was in a bad way when she was prime minister, and we saw all the changes in her time, and they should pay tribute to that."

Quite apart from whether it's necessarily a good thing that most football matches nowadays take place in identikit atmosphere-free stadia where silent fans pay a fortune to sit down, what does he mean "we saw all the changes in her time"? The changes he's mentioned happened in the years after she'd gone. And it's not like she could take any credit for the Taylor report - she didn't write it and it wouldn't have happened without a disaster ten years into her eleven years in the job.

minute's silence before reading-Liverpool

Really?

ah, it's for Hillsborough I believe. was gonna say 'good luck' if it's supposed to be for thatcher!

They'll sing thatcher songs throughout surely

I guess she'd've relished it if it was for her

announce it's for Hillsborough and Thatcher, sit back, enjoy
