Can you recognize them?

The Spain squad,i recognize 75% of them quite easily.

oh and Daily Mail said Oscar to Chelsea,and Lucas Moura to United.

i think both are still speculation tbh,one thing im sure off is the 30M fee we are paying for Moura is not true,Sir Alex is not one to pay that much for unproven talent.

and i think Chelsea are going into over-kill for their midfield tbh,De-Bruyne-Hazard-Mata-Marin-Malouda-Oscar and possibly hulk,7 players who occupy the same three positions,not counting Ramires who can play as a holding midfielder,not good this means if lets say Mata has a bad game,hes dropped the next,not nice tbh.

and i went and seen the trophy at Mike Sport,but i did not take the picture because of the Man City ribbons and logo and i was not wearing a United shirt,i did take a hard look at it though and told everybody next to me that it is going back home next season,19 and thats a FACT! NEMANJA IS BACK and the 20th is in the bag!

Statistically tbh Man United are 60% of the Premier League,having won 12 titles out of the possible 20.

This was just posted on Twitter. I thought it was quite funny.

Could have also been done with Drogba vs Napoli though. That was just as bad.

Lol the second pic ^^ is great.

And yeah the pic I posted in the previous page are the Spanish players. Torres will die with the same face, Nabas and Iniesta are very easy to recognize, Llorente looks like Leonardo Dicaprio and I don't recognize all tbh...

i think they are all very easy to recognize but the top 2 to recognize are easily Fernando Torres and Xabi Alonso,they look the exact same as they do now,Fabregas as well,i have to say though that David Silva and Pedro look ugly as fuck.

Why is AVB talking shit about CFC and Abramovich all of a sudden? Get fucking over it already.

PSG are throwing money around, it's crazy. How are they going to comply with FFP?

They've signed Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva from AC Milan today for ~€60-65m. Not to mention the wages they'll be on. I can't see PSG being particularly attractive outside of the money they can offer.

[Innovation]

Me neither, I don't even understand where they got all this money from. New owners?

Yeah they got taken over a few seasons ago. The owners are crazy rich. Richer than Chelsea.

FFP is funny though. I can't see Platini throwing a French club out of UEFA's competitions lol.

Watch idiots boo Ferdinand all season now.

He was given not guilty because there wasn't enough evidence/no-one HEARD him say it. It doesn't really mean he's been proved innocent.

There is no need to use the phrase 'fucking black cunt' in an argument. The 'I was repeating what he said' argument doesn't stand up for me. If someone accuses you of calling them a 'black cunt' you don't repeat that phrase do you? You'd say 'What did you say?' or 'I didn't say that'.

It doesn't make sense to reply 'I didn't call you a fucking black cunt'. That's not a natural response.

Dist Judge Riddle: 'Mr Terry's explanation is, certainly under cold light of forensic examination, unlikely. It's not most obvious response'

[MikeNUFC]

it's undeniable that he used the words "fucking black cunt" and "fucking knobhead" towards Anton Ferdinand and that he was angry at the time he said it, but they hired lip readers, and they couldn't make out if Terry said a fucking black cunt or you fucking black cunt, which makes a whole lot of difference, Terry claims that Ferdinand accused him of calling that, so he responded: a fucking black cunt? you fucking knobhead! but lip readers can't make out the tone of the voice used at that time, so they can't back up if Terry did actually say it in form of question or not, but Ashley Cole backed up Terry's statement, by saying at one point during the game, he mentioned to me that he thinks Ferdinand accused him of saying this. And, by the time the game ended, John Terry summonsed Ferdinand to the Chelsea changing room to discuss what has happened, and they studied the time the now famous Youtube video went viral, there is no way that Terry could have found out about the video before calling Anton to the changing room.

So the thing is not whether or not Terry used the term "black cunt" but it is how he said it that matters, and there is no clear evidence from the video that can show you indeed how he said it, and Terry has maintained the same argument since they day of the game, and he has answered with the same answers to the police and to the FA since the investigations started, and there seem to be little or minor contradictions in the report he gave. Therefore, Terri is acquitted from the accusation

This doesn't mean he's innocent. It means he's not guilty. The decision was ruled on reasonable doubt. In other words, there's enough doubt in the evidence not to convict him. The FA process is on probability, so if there's an FA case he'll probably be charged, like Suarez was.

As I've said, even the judge on the trial admitted Terry's reason for using those words was questionable. It's not a natural response to being accused of racism.

RE: Discussing the video in the changing room. Ashley Cole said they couldn't get signal in the dressing room, so bang goes that argument.

and, to add a little of my own, even if Terry said the words or not, that doesn't make him racist, we all lose control and discipline sometimes, you can see from Terry's relations with Chelsea players that he is indeed not a racist. Plus, Ferdinand did a lot of insulting as well, and taunted Terry constantly about his affair with Bridge's wife (even though I think it was Bridge's Ex-Girlfriend not wife, but that doesn't matter right now)

There you have it ladies and gentlemen, Terry is NOT a racist, he is innocent, he has been stripped of his captaincy for the second time, and this time to even more bullshit, his reputation had been shaken, and to answer MikeNUFC, I hope Anton Ferdinand gets booed so bad, he'll wish he was deaf during the game

He wasn't on trial for being racist, he was on trial for using racist language in a place of work (in my mind, if you're not racist, you wouldn't racially abus someone, but that's not the point).

Yes, I'm sure there are great comparisons to be made between mocking someone for cheating and mocking someone's race *rolls eyes*

His reputation has been shaken? Because his reputation before the incident was perfect, right?

You hope AF gets booed for having the balls to take potential racism to court? Fucking hell, this is idiotic and blinded and you really need to look at yourself if you think that's right. Absolutely fucking moronic.

Okay AVB, you can stop taking shots at Chelsea now.

I've always been a supporter of AVB, even during his last few weeks at Chelsea. I still believe he would have eventually brought success to the club. You only have to look at his signings to see what he was trying to do.

But come on AVB, there's no need to constantly take shots at Chelsea's hierarchy.
