So what if his from the region, speaks funny and played for the Scousers?
I don't care!
I'm not from the UK, so couldn't care for all of the "off the pitch" rivalry and politics.
Play the game and bring me some results.
That's all I want ;)

LOL. I agree with Mercurial. Don't see how that central four is gonna cut it this season.

We managed to win the League through consistency, and I definitely can't put my money on that four for a whole season. And then you've still got a young Obertan and Giggs as backup. Do keep in mind, we won 1 out of 6 against the other big three teams last season.... Consistency my friends!

Furthermore, SAF wrote off signing any new players for this season. Ya, I'm not too optimistic, but as long as any of the other clubs are keeping quiet (except for City, who even with all their cash will still end up in a blue shirts) I won't say this season is totally a right off!

Good one Stickman :D hehehe
 
I really think SAF has lost the plot... Owen is our new number 7

maybe he's sick building a baby for number 7... look at beckham, look at ronaldo... big babies :D

or maybe he wants owen to become like them :D

We have some decent midfielders, they just haven't shown it yet. I am hoping this is their season.
Valencia costs 8.5 in the fantasy - methinks that is a bit too much :o
 
Seems like the fun has begun at Real

Only one Ronaldo: Cristiano refuses to wear 'C' on his back as Real Madrid fans cash in on his namesake's shirt

Cristiano Ronaldo is already giving the Real Madrid money men a headache by apparently refusing to play ball with their marketing strategy.

The Spanish giants pay him £200,000 after tax and give him a 50 per cent share of shirt-sale profits after his £80million transfer from Manchester United made him the world's most expensive player.

But the 24-year-old world record transfer from Manchester United is proving he will not be pushed around by a club who have a long-standing tie-up with German sportswear firm adidas.

Ronaldo has already raised eyebrows by wearing a massive Nike logo on the T-shirt he wore to his well-publicised Madrid medical.

And it has emerged he rejected a plan to have 'C. Ronaldo' on his new No 9 shirt, which would have distinguished him from plain old Ronaldo - the Brazil legend who wore the same shirt until just over three years ago.

It is feared that dropping the 'C' means thrifty fans can use their old Madrid merchandise rather than help fund the eye-watering transfer, though it hasn't stopped next season's jersey flying out of the shops.

Club president Florentino Perez has reportedly tried to talk Ronaldo into signing with Madrid adidas once his association with Nike has ended, to little avail.

Perez prefers his star signings to be adidas affiliated - such as ***a and Karim Benzema, plus Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham in the past.

But Nike saw his transfer as an ambush marketing opportunity rather than a threat and neither they nor Ronaldo intend to tone down their relationship.

While Ronaldo's 50-50 sharing of image rights means he must share half the proceeds of new commercial deals, it is understood the Spaniards do not get their hands on earnings from his lucrative pre-existing contract with Nike.

The Portugal forward has already shown his marketing savvy. He trademarked 'CR7' while at Manchester United and earlier this year added 'CR9' and 'CR10' to his portfolio ahead of the expected move to Spain.

Meanwhile, arguably Madrid's most famous No 9, Alfredo di Stefano is in no doubt who is the best player in the world – and it's not the Bernabeu new boy.

Ronaldo may be the current FIFA World Player of the Year and Ballon d'Or holder, but Di Stefano believes he has been surpassed by his compatriot Lionel Messi of deadly rivals Barcelona.

'Those who argue don't know anything about football, and I am a lover of football,' he said.

A nice welcome from the Madrid honorary president.

Haha - good times.

Can't wait for the new season. Wanna see City and Real fall apart :)

City won't fall apart... they could have 25 strikers and they will not make a noise because they are being paid well. The problem will be with the midfield, believe me - I know ;)

Why because I don't care for the politics and rivalries that "rednecks" of the UK go on about for?

I support my team with whatever roster it has and criticise it where needed from my point of view. Win or lose.

I have no quarms with Owen or if he is wearing the no.7 jersey.
I see it as Fergie giving Owen the right kind of motivation.

I don't have time to waste getting dragged into useless arguments which have nothing to do with consistency and results on the pitch.
Wait a minute, "consistency and results on the pitch", that's what Liverpool not been having of late right? :rolleyes:

And even upon saying that, there's still a rival tone in your voice... I quote

Yeah, but with respect to the post below, where does Gloryhunting come in?

Naturally there is a rivalry between the Liverpool and Man Utd camps.
But I'm not throwing my toys out of my cot, because a former Liverpool player is now in United shirt.
It's happened before.

It really gets my goat when I have to face Liverpool supporters (not here) but in person that will argue the point that they won United 4-1, and that takes preference over the entire league.

Anyway - time for home and some time off from work...
 
WHAT? LIVERPOOL DIDN'T WIN THE LEAGUE after beating united? OMG!?!?!?!? lol
