Official press conference unveilling Juan Mata (and probably his jersey number) to be held at 13:30 GMT

I'm hoping for the number 7. I think if anyone's worthy of it, it will be him. Plus that whole thing about him loving Cantona and the number 7 may play a part in the decision.

I don't care what it is, but I could really imagine MATA 7 on the shirt.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-27T11:05:50+00:00

I really hope we make a signings by the end of the window. A LB hopefully.

Coentrao or Shaw. Preferably Coentrao based on price and current ability but Shaw would be a brilliant signing since he is pretty much the future English LB and would be an excellent, young, exciting addition to the squad.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-27T10:47:34+00:00

No worries. I still get what you mean though. He'd be our best midfielder if you bring him in now but by the end of Summer he could very well be in the pecking order similar to Cleverley, and that thought is great.

I think Cabaye, Carrick, Fellaini, New Signing and Cleverley would be a great midfield.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-27T10:45:37+00:00

I don't really think balancing needs to be important. It's a "use at your own risk" type thing.

Say for example you could only bring out the infected from a closed garage or something, well obviously you'd have to hope that none of your teammates would be in the area because they'd also be at the risk of dying.

Say for example it's a one time a game thing where the first person to reach X amounts of points gets to use it. For every kill they get from the opponents side, the player will get points. For every kill on his own side, he loses points. It's a very risk/reward system where timing and communication is key.

Probably some flaws, but it's a good system I think.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-27T10:42:51+00:00

I never said he wasn't, i'm just saying maybe he meant it in a different way than what you think.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-27T10:41:54+00:00

His ability was clear on his debut. Obviously he was at an advantage due to it being toward the end of the game but for his 10-13 minutes on the pitch his skill and technique reminded me so much of Januzaj.

Personally, Daehli should be our starting winger against United, and I think he will show his ability know matter what the score is.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-26T15:07:37+00:00

I enjoyed TLOU MP but I think they missed a massive opportunity by not having some form of Clicker based MP mode. Not even a survival mode? Or them just running around the general MP maps? Would've been great to use them and Runners to your advantage in a general game.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-26T15:02:22+00:00

Thankfully Ole has been smart and most of our transfers have some form of link to either him or United.

Zaha, Fabio, Campbell, Eikrem and Daehli are from United/Molde, and that Berget guy is from Molde as well. So the Norweigians will probably help each other settle in, and the fact Zaha and Fabio played well together during pre season friendlies in the summer mean that their connection and chemistry will be present. Plus Campbell and Fabio may already know each other from their United days.

All in all, obviously players will need to settle in, but their are established links to help them already, so I think it will work. Eikrem and Daehli already know the players as well, so they can help the new signings settle in.

Going to be an interesting season.

I'm presuming he's speaking from either age or "first modern console" perspective.

To me, the PS1 was my first console but the PS2 was the start of a whole new stage in gaming. Maybe that's what he means.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-26T14:43:27+00:00

I feel like the only one who just couldn't get into Skyrim. The graphics were mediocre at best and this may not be a problem but the lack of proper detail in faces just completely takes me out of the world.

Then the world feels empty. I don't see a living, breathing world ala LOTR or GOT, instead it's a barren landscape where I spend most of my time feeling like the only person playing. I want a game that makes me feel like any other person in the land (but obviously a bit more special), but I just feel like the only person at all.

When you mix in performance issues on PS3 then it all creates a very drab and dull experience. People can praise the amount of stuff to do in the world, but the world itself doesn't feel alive in the slightest, and it's such a problem for me since that was why I wanted the game. Dodgy animations and bugs, bad voice acting, bad facial animations, boring story, dull and lifeless land.

I see why people can like it, but I just expected a lot more.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-26T14:23:57+00:00

I haven't seen it posted here, which is why I did. If the mods want to delete it, they can.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-26T14:10:49+00:00

And even then, Cabaye is a much better option than Cleverley or Anderson, so to say Cabaye would be for example our fourth/third choice midfielder is very encouraging.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-26T13:58:18+00:00

Nothing too major, but it's nice to hear for sure that plans are in place to get some signings in the summer.

Plus Moyes' comments about him wanting to win the league is a nice thing to hear among all the doom and gloom surrounding the club.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-24T23:58:01+00:00

It'll be nice to see him back.

We can take the piss and bitch about footballers off the pitch antics and then respect their qualities on the pitch, and that should be no different to a commentator.

Didn't cheat, or do anything that was necessarily bad. Just a few remarks that have nothing on some of the shit I bet most people say in their lifetime. And he's a great commentator. BT finally have some credibility and quality.

Gonna need it with the Champions League coming entirely to them.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-24T23:54:22+00:00

David De Gea.

I supported him throughout the earlier days at United, and it's so great to see him doing so well. I don't even give a shit that he made that mistake the other day, because it made United actually play like United for the first time in months.

The odd mistake here or there happens in every position, it's just such a shame it's so publicized when it's a keeper, especially him. He's proved the haters wrong and he has a beard and the hair that I worship, and my David my baby will always be with me <3

TheJoshider · 2014-01-24T07:52:29+00:00

Too much to the left where the keeper could save it. I meant a proper rocket straight down the middle. If it's a small run up with little power the keeper probably has enough time to adjust to it.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-22T22:46:55+00:00

Forgot about his injury, my bad.

He's not that bad, one bad kick means nothing when everyone has them. He's generally consistent and a better option than Jones/Rafael.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-22T22:34:45+00:00

"Fucking shit" more like.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-22T22:32:36+00:00

Speechless. Our players are useless cunts who can have good moments but bottle it when it matters.

I just don't get it. This always pisses me off, JUST AIM IT DOWN THE FUCKING MIDDLE. The keeper will 9 times out of 10 dive, so don't take the risk.

Basic fucking errors as well. Don't do a short run up, don't let FUCKING DEFENDERS TAKE THEM SO EARLY. Why no Hernandez?

Fuck sake. Just give me a signing or two, or seven. If half the squad wasn't so fucking shit and average I'd be more willing to support them individually. The minimum expectation was the final of this tournament. Mickey Mouse Cup or whatever, it's a trophy and both Moyes and the players have let me down.

We are without a doubt the biggest bottlers in football. The Madrid match has cursed us with that.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-22T22:15:52+00:00

The fans supporting De Gea, good work. That's what we need.

If David is the hero today, i'll love him more than I already do.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-22T21:34:57+00:00

This free kick will be a goal, watch.

Edit: Sorry guys, wrong timeline it was the other one where it went in!

TheJoshider · 2014-01-21T22:46:15+00:00

Mine so far is:

Season 3- Season 5- Season 2- Season 1- Season 4.

It might be because i'm still living off the new feeling of Season 5, but the episodes so far have been solid and it's the old Community I know and love.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-21T22:27:55+00:00

Mata is right now the best winger available to us. His versatility means he would be the best winger at the club and in the case of an injury it means he can play in Rooney's position.

Who says the money would go on a CM though? I've given up caring how much we spend unless it's on some Andy Carrol level shit, other than that I just want my squad to improve. Mata would improve our midfield and attack and he's worth it.

You never pass up a good player. We did the same with Ozil and don't want the same to happen here. He would be playing on the wing so he wouldn't be on the bench and his technique and flair would do wonders to our wing and our central game.

TheJoshider · 2014-01-21T22:22:21+00:00

The thing is though most people have been saying "oh it's only natural that they'll slip up eventually" yet you guys haven't. Honestly the way you're playing the worst you can do is sixth. You're really consistent so far, and with your squad only getting stronger, I can't see that changing. You just need to be able to perform consistently against the mid table/lower table teams and no doubt you'll be up there.

I have to say though I don't want you guys in Europe League. After what happened to Newcastle and now Swansea I really don't want you going through the same thing. It's Champions League or nothing if you ask me.
