Song could be got for 10-15 million and would be an upgrade on all our midfielders i don't know how anybody could not want him. Obviously we would still need at least a world class midfielder also. But Song would be a no brainer.

Like how he set the world alight Saturday when he came on - the Barca fans in the pub were flabbergasted. And saying he'd be an upgrade on the current bunch - Lee Cattermole would be an upgrade on whats there at the moment, so that statement doesn't hold any water. He is not a world class player, he never was, he never will be - and it's world class players that are needed to turn this thing around.

Alex Song is Barcalona's Tom Cleverly. Nobody is quite sure how he managed to get in to the club to begin with, but now that he has, he's content to stay.

In saying that, Song to United would be a good move given how ****e our team is in midfield.

In line with the rest of your posts today, I was expecting this part to read like:

"he laughed and said, sure I'm on my way to the training ground if you fancy a quick trial! So I went along and nutmegged Titus Bramble before scoring 3 hat-tricks and winning World Cup Pick-A-Partner with Liam Lawrence. But I didn't sign because I had a better offer form Turin."

I've got it!

You met Niall Quinn, who gave you a trial at Sunderland, where you met the mighty John O'She and Wes Brown who are both former United players, who then decided to have a kick about with the Class of '92 for the craic like, and they brought you because you were 'the next-next Ronaldo' and while you were up in Manchester you met the tea lady! The tea lady is the source! It all makes sense!

A lot of you in here are a bunch of lousy ****ers. I once met Bruce Springsteen. Does that make me a lier all of a sudden?

merlinsmerryman

I met Paul Scholes. My boss was involved in a charity ball and Scholes was the special guest. Boss picked him up from the airport and asked me would I like to collect him from his hotel on the Sunday morning and drive him to the airport. One of the most down to earth people I've ever met. Dropped him the wife and a couple of friends of his back. Chatted the whole way from Powerscourt to Airport. Get to the airport and he asked did I have anything to get signed (I had 2 copies of his book and a jersey in the boot ) Also had no problem getting a photo taken, his mate took a couple to make sure they turned out. A proper gentleman and a very knowledgeable and humble. Only pity was it was before he came out of retirement, wish he had have dropped that into conversation, would have cleaned PassyPower out

Depends. Did the two of you go on a week long bender in Las Vegas and do coke off hookers' backs before he brought you on stage to shred his guitar, or did he just say hi and give you an autograph?

NoviGlitzko

My cousin actually met Paul Scholes, Alex Ferguson, Jesper Blompvist (or whatever his name was spelt, and Gary Neville at some do on here in Ireland. He was only a kid. Got in a picture with all of them too. Think Yorke was there too but it's been so long since I seen the picture.

Hey, I initially took it as a joke but you were on the windup after that.

Lets just let it be..

Truce and all that.

On the windup by suggesting your google search history contained an over-abundance of the word "balls".

I don't think I've ever met anyone who would be wound by that before now. I guess I crossed the line, either that or you are taking the internet too seriously. Shalom either way.

I banged a young one in Manchester who said she went to school with Phil Bardsley. United beat Sunderland 1 nil, Saha scored aswell that day.

You are the boiler maintenace guy at the hospital where United used do their medical.

THAT'S where you used to get your info.

THAT'S why your recent predictions haven't been great.

THAT'S why your clutching at straws.

No no Guardiola told me himself back in 1998/99 ish. I remember it was a bit weird at the time considering he was predicting the future but then again I could suddenly understand Spanish when he spoke so I just accepted it.

It's all about the contacts.

It has nothing to do with google search history, it's common search terms that goggle stores historically.
It has nothing to do with what I am looking up or have been in the past.

In fairness your still debating this and I tried to let it go, and it's getting a bit embarrassing now. Can we discuss on PM?

Thanks.

I don't care, I don't know how many more ways I can tell you you are over analysing and being bizarrely sensitive about what was a tame (and crap) joke.

In the words of LuckyLloyd, this really seems like a you problem.

markc1184

Around about 97 or 98 we went on a school trip to Rome and Sorrento. While we were in Sorrento we went on a day trip to Capri. As soon as we got off the boat and made our way up the pier one of the teachers spots none other than Roy Keane. About 35 young irish lads charged towards him. He was a little shocked at first but said hello to eveyone and got into a group photo with us. Didnt have too much of a chat with him but he seemed bang on.

Regardless of all that, I think it's pretty clear at this point that he has been searching for the word "balls" a lot. No disrespect to Mick of course, each their own. :pac:

If we are still doing I met stories, my uncle was a business partner of sorts with Roy Keane, so he used to over a few times a year and get me autographs of all the players in the players lounge after the game. I went over once with him, I was 12 I think and Keane met us in manchester and drove us to a pub near his house with my uncles friend and his daughter. Spent about 4 hours there he even bought me a coke! I basically just sat there the entire time amazed, thought it was a dream. He was incredibly nice, I even had him sign an entire autograph book embarrassingly. The uncle's friend's daughter was obsessed with beckham and asked him if they would meet up outside training and Keane laughed and said no he's not the type I'd be friends with. That afternoon made my childhood

yea i've heard that from a few people about keane not being chummy with beckham, but he wasn't overly chummy with most united players, which he's entitled to be, i'd not friends with most people i work with so i could see where he comes from on that..
but i've always heard that an irish person he met in manchester was warmly greeted and he wasn't in any way stand offish at all

keane2097

In fairness, Keane has always been quite complimentary of Beckham as a pro as far as I know (and rightly so). You can see how they mightn't be bosom buddies outside of work.

Despite the fact Moyes was a joke of a manager, I thought it was ridiculous when people were giving out to him for using words such as 'try' and 'hope'. I do agree he wasn't the best at handling the media and answering the questions like a proper Manchester united manager but still, using words like 'try' and 'hope' doesn't mean he's a bad manager.

I am pretty sure i have heard Sir Alex use the word try and hope when asked about the upcoming fixtures, so its not a moyes thing. People need to get over the use of that word and just wait and enjoy when van gaal absolutely destroys the british journos during the conferences

Using it every now and again is ok.

The problem with Moyes was it was after every match, after every transfer problem, after everything. Try and hope is grand when it comes through every now and again, but Moyes never carried out what he was trying to do, thus no one had any faith in his hopes.

Saying we will try and win the league is different than "we will try and make it hard for Newcastle to beat us"...
