cool vids + sneijder would be scholes/giggs in one 
holy sh1t, that would unleash the wings of valencia and nani flying down and hernandez and rooney will be scoring from all the input by just flicking the ball
i really hope sneijder doesn't go to utd
just read about it, got really upset for the UK as a country that these riots have not been stopped. i consider the UK to be my 2nd country (lived, studied, taught by the english) so this is hitting close to home
even though Carletto won the title, i agree about the italians not belonging to the EPL because they are just too SLOW on shaking things up. ancelotti would NEVER change a plan even if he was trailing 2-0 at half time.
zola is awesome on the field, and did well with west ham imo, but i think his mentality was too ... 'safe' for the EPL
I WISH
but the pragmatist in me does not believe it
i want the league, and a CL final
lol come on dude
why NEVER?
i wish i could use the Mourinho/Ancelotti argument having been 1st yr coaches for chelsea winning the league, but the Torres bit will keep me at bay until i see his form 6 weeks in!

. They just don't have that winning mentality atm, or let me re-phrase, they HAVEN'T had that winning mentality and I don't see them get it in the next couple of years. I mean, look at Man U this past weekend. They're down 0-2 and they subs some of the best players in the world for a couple rookies...and they end up ontop with 3-2

Arsenal have told Manchester City they can buy Samir Nasri for an initial fee of £22m after conceding the midfielder will not sign a new contract.

I'm going into this season with low expectations, and hope they surprise me. We still have a few weeks to make some moves too. And I still feel we'll be in the top 4, and we'll have a great season by anyone's standards except our own.

Manchester United are no longer interested in signing Wesley Sneijder | Football | The Guardian
Fab and Nasri gone But looks like we're moving for Mata, Mathieu Valbuena and Eden Hazard, and maybe a couple of others. I could dig that. £60mil to blow!
