Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

Park, Alex, Bommel, Gomes, Nistelrooij... what a team that was

xp

Geoff Shreeves: What were you thinking when you went off?

Paul Scholes: uh, not a lot really

scholes is dreadful, pretentiously unpretentious

So is Giggs defo staying for another year?

RIP Scholes, the last true clerk of football

Scholes: "I know it's the right time for me to go. It's not been the season I would have liked personally, but we've won the league and it's a great day."

What does he mean by that?

Jeez, everyone's bowing out in character today. Carra o.g. hattrick next week no doubt.

this is all a bit odd

Rumour has it that Falcao has accepted Monaco option bcs it's the only one that would easily let him go to Real Madrid after 1 season

Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri 1h

The Falcao deal looks like another cunning plan from Jorge Mendes. Prepare to see minor players of his to move to Monaco soon

if so I wish him ill

Fergie: "I don't think Wayne Rooney was keen to play, simply because he's asked for a transfer. But we won't sell him."

"a good lad who needs to get his head down" according to Neville

That's a nasty pickle to leave Moyes

as opposed to the towering 26 year legacy.

PL will probably see Wilfred Bony, Dutch top scorer and an awesome striker, on the pitch somewhere. Ain't no Afonso Alves tbh. He will be great

I didn't realise Wilf McGuinness was only 31 when he took over from Busby.

and when he resigned

What is happening at Monaco?

rip van bommel

today was rubbish. bloody stoke.

Fuck Dutch football culture not heavily into giffing yet tbh. So much giffable moments of Bommel's last great trick, but bitches in dis here country dunna care

Why are City trailing the kill, instead of just doing it?

what's the word on Adam Maher LBI?

Maher will probably go to Ajax, he will replace Christian Erikson, who is on his way to Dortmund. De Boer and klopp (friends) had contact about Erikson this week, and Erikson himself expressed he wants to go to BVB.

Sucks, because I would have loved to see Maher at PSV. But there is no reason he would choose for PSV after this dire season. Ajax are champions and have CL in the pocket and all. And tbh, he is the natural replacement of Erikson. I just wish death upon Ajax, is all.

Maher has expressed he will not go abroad yet, which makes this even more of a done deal. Noone knows if Arse or Spurs show up with their millions, but I think Maher to Ajax is a done deal.

Tbh he is all of the hype and more. What a player.

even just in brief chitchat you feared for moyes' dad with big dunc there

Eriksen being the replacement for Gotze, that is xp

MOTD2's commentator for the Everton game kept emphasising "EVERTON'S THIRD LONGEST SERVING MANAGER" which kind of makes it seem less significant if anything

Have seen him linked to City in recent weeks. Great info as always!

Cheers NN! My one true fellow ManU supporter on here :-)

ManU would profit from buying Maher tbh, but the kid (only 19) has a good mindset: not leaving Holland until 22 or 23. Too many players in the recent past left too soon and failed (most notably: Afellay to Barca. He should have gone to Arsenal when he had the chance).

There is no way I see Maher going to City though, absolutely no way.

lineker being a dick to laudrip and mckay

affelay was 25 when he went to barcelona, his problem was not being good enough

schalke/arsenal is more his level

True. In his case wasn't his age, but he aimed too high. That's why he should have gone to a mediocre PL team, like Arsenal

(sorry Sam, if you are reading, but it's true)

"scott parker... he's a little oasis of calm"

Would have loved to have hyped up Maher in a Dutch Footy 12-13 thread all season, for he totally deserves it, but I had a foresight that for PSV it would be a dire, dire season ;_;

And so, didn't start the thread

Will start one for the Dutch league for next season though, for the 1.5 person interested

footballers rly fucking love the champions league music

Bit too much iirc

I mean, it's no Daft Punk

lol holt what a cunt

Oh Ben Foster lol

Holt is a total cunt tho, aye.

silverware is for cunts, stfu motd

leeds goal of the season there

LBI, any idea where Finnbogason might end up?

what odds on ferguson takin the everton job

steve clarke is a year younger than moyes

ShariVari wow, you an expert on the Dutch league? Awesome!

Finnbogason is only a year Heerenveen. Technically not all that, but a real killer. If Van Basten isn't called to AC Milan (which is bound to happen in the future), I think Finnbogason will stay for at least one more season. Unless the money from Germany or England is ringing.

Difficult to predict how far he can go, but Heerenveen surely isn't his last stop. WBA, Fulham, Wigan, Swansea: they'd all be happy to have him I'd say.

sharivari is an expert on all manner of stuff iirc

jesus fucking christ

sigthorsson was rated a lot more highly but seems to have had a lot of injuries
