They're calling her Welbeck's sister cause they play a similar style, and I guess similar looks. It's a running joke...

It was a "joint decision" between him and the FPF.  surprised it took so long.  i was expceting it to happen monday but as the week dragged on i didnt expect anything.  He was able to get the best out of ronaldo and got us within inches of the euro cup final and i'll be forever thankful.  but he also embarassed us at the past world cup with his planning, selections, and tatics.


which porto alum? Fernando Santos, Vitor Pereira, or Jesualdo Ferreira?  looks like those are the front runners right now.  i wouldnt mind santos.  watching the greeks move on from the group stage at the world cup, i thought to myself i would rather have him then bento.  there's also an italian coaching in china, cant remember his name that i wouldnt mind either.

All those names just makes me think "Lets get an Italian". Santos can stay in Greece.

I honestly want a big name guy whose proved himself. Someone worth respecting.

Good examples, still many more too. I see them come and go in Portugal - some of you guys might know this guys name - Anderson. :lol:

:smh: sold us a dud...I remembered Porto tried to market him as the next Ronaldinho... |I
after watching him play a few games I was like,"this dude can't be Brazilian" :lol:
or maybe he just got unmotivated/lazy after winning both the league and CL in his first season with Utd...



On an unrelated note,Falcao's deal becomes permanent once/if he scores 5 goals and makes 15 appearances this season :D

shouldn't it be 15 goals in 5 appearances? :lol:
 
Phil Jones is out for 3 weeks

Sad to say but it's true in many cases.

idk man..pato has it all. injuries really screwes him over. specifically those POS medical people at milan that let players play when they shouldnt have been out there

Yup. That was his major decline really. Never could really get back to who he was after those injuries.

Uefa ‘rewrites the rules’ to allow Manchester City to dodge FFP sanctions

Other clubs bemused as governing body seems to bow to fear of legal action and relaxes rules on home-grown players
IAN HERBERT Author Biography Thursday 11 September 2014

PRINT A A A
The threat of legal action against Uefa has enabled Manchester City to field only one club-trained player in their Champions League squad which goes into action against Bayern Munich next week – three fewer than Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool – despite having failed the governing body’s Financial Fair Play rules.

To the bemusement of other English clubs, who must include four players they have developed themselves in their European squads, the only club-trained player in City’s squad is Dedryck Boyata – a Belgian signed as a teenager and developed by the club.

The Independent understands that the player union Fifpro has been involved in the slackening of restrictions on City, possibly pressing Uefa to allow City fewer home-grown players by indicating that the governing body could be guilty of creating a restriction of movement for players with a more stringent regime. That could result in a complex legal action.

COMMENT: UEFA CREDIBILITY EBBS AWAY AFTER MAN CITY CLIMBDOWN

City were initially ordered by Uefa to reduce their Champions League squad from 25 to 21 players, as punishment for breaching FFP rules. As those rules were introduced to encourage self-sufficiency, it was thought that would mean City complying with the same strictures as other clubs. That would mean 13 overseas players could be fielded, with four “club-trained” and four “association-trained” players like all the rest.

But Uefa then quietly agreed that City could reduce their non-overseas quota to five, to compensate them for reduced squad numbers. It was the publication of City’s squad list at the weekend which revealed that the governing body has allowed them to include only one developed at City’s own academy among that five. Four of the quota of five non-foreigners are from the easier to find “association-trained” category. They are Joe Hart, James Milner, Gaël Clichy and Frank Lampard.

“Uefa have effectively rewritten their home grown player rule,” said Daniel Geey, the football law specialist at the firm Field Fisher Waterhouse, who has advised clients and written extensively on FFP. “There is nothing in Uefa or FFP regulations about the home-grown rule changing.”

MANCHESTER CITY FFP FINE TO BE SHARED AMONG CL CLUBS

Fifpro could not be contacted, though Uefa did confirm that the watering down of the most damaging part of City’s FFP punishment followed consultation with “concerned stakeholders”. Other clubs are reluctant to speak out publicly, but there is a feeling within the game that Uefa has allowed City off the hook. Many inside football believe that Uefa should have reduced City’s domestic quota in proportion with the overall squad reduction: from eight out of 25 to six out of the reduced number of 21. “Five out of 21 was not a proportionate reduction,” Geey said.


Other clubs will also argue that they should have been told earlier that City and Paris Saint-Germain – who also have only one “club-trained” player in their Champions League squad – were not to be limited to only 13 foreign players. Rival clubs had 10 days to legally challenge the initial Uefa settlement with City. None did. It is safe to assume that Liverpool’s principal owner John W Henry, who bought the Anfield club on the basis that a rigorous FFP regime would create an even playing field, will take a dim view of this.

In a statement released to The Independent last night, Uefa said: “As additional information was needed regarding the implementation of this specific sanction in the settlement agreement, there was a subsequent consultation with concerned stakeholders which allowed Uefa to clarify the quantity of home-grown players required for the 2014-15 club competition season.”

City said on Wednesday night that they had complied fully with Uefa’s rules governing the composition of their squad.

That helped none.

But thanks I guess lol.
NP breh.

You should be fine in Puerto Vallarta.

Idk, if you're going with an actual mexican you should be fine and seeing Guadalajara should be relatively fun.

If you don't, then idk....

If you want brownie points with the locals, say please after every request.


Mexican's are not very straight forward and they're not used to people being blunt when making requests etc... well maybe they're in tourist areas, but no so much else where, its not a good look and people will assume you lack 'class' We are taught formal mannerism from young and not saying thank you or please after a request will not sit well with some people.

Just be cordial and it will get you brownie points with the locals.

So wearing a sombrero, growing out a moustache, and being a complete douchebag, like I planned - just won't bode well now I pressume?

Well damn, that blows. There goes my trip. Might as well just stay going to Europe. :lol:

If someone has the balls to kidnap me at a resort in Puerto Vallarta being 6 foot 3, 200 lbs - I have no other choice but to give those dudes credit, won't even be mad at them.

But I think I'll pull the trigger and take my chances. I'll make sure when the kidnappers allow me to use my phone the first person I'll contact will be eiddy, with my password to NT to make sure this thread stays alive with polls/titles changes.

P.S. - my family has been making homemade chourico/prosciutto for centuries, the spice don't scare me bro Spaniards/Portchops invented that, it's in my blood :smokin No homo on the sausage references tho :tongue:

Last I checked, an 0-2-1 record sitting in 14th to start the season is not the standard at United either.
I'll take LVG's quotes seriously once he wins a game.

"Ferguson did have a difficult start at United, losing his first game in charge 2-0 away at Oxford. He then oversaw a 0-0 draw at Norwich before experiencing his first win in English football at home to QPR on 22 November.

Fergie only won one of his first six matches in charge, but after a loss at Wimbledon in late November, his fortunes changed for the better. He went on a streak of only losing once in 13 games, bringing United up to 13th by mid-March."

@ManUtd

The #mufc boss says nine players are still out injured, although @LukeShaw3 "is fit enough to play some minutes" and make his debut vs QPR.

"Fellaini is more than a month away, Jones maybe three weeks or a month. Carrick isn't ready but has run for the first time on grass."

"Johnstone has elbow problems, Smalling isn't fit enough, Wilson and James are not ready yet. Young and Lingard are also injured."
