dont think it will.

great pass from Ramires and a good finish from Nando,cant wait till the football starts!

we dont need Van persie though in Utd

[dR3]

Anyway, does the red card affect the Premier League?

Yes it does. 3-match ban. If lucky, he can get a 1-match ban but I doubt it.

^ Lmao.

Great news for Chelsea fans though! Ivanovic's red card will not carry over to the PL.

Why not?

Why not?

But new FA rules state that suspensions as a result of red cards shown in friendly matches should only be served in reserve team matches. It means Ivanovic will be free to feature in Chelsea's opening Premier League fixture at Wigan next Sunday.

[dR3]

I don't get where these new rules came from, but whatever, great news.

[MikeNUFC]

So they're saying the Community Shield is a friendly now? Weird.

[gvdz]

The v Persie deal looks done.

[dR3]

Just saw the confirmation on UTD's website.

Out of all the clubs in the world, really?

[Innovation]

I was shocked when my mate told me about the deal.

Roo and RVP

WE WON THE TITLE!

[Drug.Ballad]

Not too sure on how i feel about the RVP signing, he is a very good player but i like the forwards united already have. Would rather united make the midfield stronger.

[AJS2050]

Looking forward to this new season. I think we should be top of the table by 5pm tomorrow with a comfortable win over Swansea. and I just heard we've signed Jose Bosingwa.

[Innovation]

and I just heard we've signed Jose Bosingwa.

His defensive ability is non-existent.

But yeah, I'm looking forward to next season. Can't wait to see how the new signings gel!

[Innovation]

he shut Messi up in the 2nd leg semi-final of the FA Cup playing Left-Back tbh, he has some abilities, he's just too clumsy in defence and leaves his position way too much, but tbh, so does Luiz
he's fast as hell and a good player on attack, but fucks up a lot of his crosses, but he'll be a good player for QPR

In terms of the season as a whole, he was pretty awful defensively. When he played as a make-shift centre back against Barcelona, that was one of his best performances.

But like you said, he's a good enough player for QPR. He wasn't nearly good enough for us though.
