Germany :doh: Should have won that. O'Shea scored the all-important equaliser in the dying seconds.

 

Also, is it just me or was the refereeing in this match really good?

Lol please the French Ligue is a bigger joke than La Liga, the quality of football and the teams is an absolute joke, Those rich arabs pissing all their oil money on PSG have no class so I can see why he won't go there and there is more than one reason for that.

Didn't he do the same with Chelsea in the mid 2000's? Not much difference here.

 

What's wrong with money anyways? You need money to start a business and you need money to revive an ailing business.

Not a lot wrong with money but a lot wrong in artificially inflating a market.

 

They will realise their folly soon when they won't be able to break even.

 

Despite all the inflation, teams can still get world-class or potentially world-class players for around £20 million. The inflation caused by these big spending teams is very specific and only affects those players that they target. For the rest of the market, it doesn't make a difference at all.

Ryan Giggs was presented with the Legend of Football Award last night at a dinner raising funds for @NordoffRobbins1. :majesty:

Ryan Giggs was reunited with a host of his former Manchester United team-mates at a tribute dinner in his honour in London on Tuesday night.

The Reds' assistant manager was the recipient of the Legend of Football Award at the HMV Football Extravaganza, which raises money for music therapy charity Nordoff Robbins.

Giggs was joined by a host of club greats, including Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Paul Ince and Bryan Robson, at the event, which generated an incredible £402,000 for charity.

Before receiving his award, Ryan was treated to a surprise performance from Welsh band Stereophonics, who had flown in specially from America to pay tribute to their fellow countryman.

Past winners of the Legend of Football accolade include Sir Alex Ferguson, Eric Cantona and Pele, and Ryan told ManUtd.com he was delighted to stand alongside those names.

“It’s a very special award. I came to the dinner when Eric received his and it was only then that I realised how big an award it is and it's for such a great cause,” Ryan told us.

“Nordoff Robbins is a great charity. I remember at Eric’s dinner that we heard from parents of some of the children who benefit from the charity and they discussed the help they get from music and how much progress they make by using it.

“It’s always great on these nights to get together with ex-team-mates and players I’ve played against, and it’s a good night to meet up with old friends who perhaps you don’t get chance to see as much as you’d like to. I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.”

More people watch the PL than ISL. Star will realise their mistake soon.

They tried to force us to listen to Hindi commentary and buy the HD channels last season, but had to backtrack.

 

In other news, Sturridge is injured again. :wallbash: Somebody please kill me.
