Quit the audio of that and while watching activate this. And repeat.

Don't forget to drink plenty of it.

I think Bayern's a good call, Corny knows nothing...

relevant bits below

United are the only English club that could afford to buy Messi, particularly if Barcelona were to demand his €250m (£195m) buyout fee in one payment, which would be likely.

Although Manchester City have explored bringing the 27-year-old from Barcelona and retain an interest in him, Uefa’s financial fair play rules mean the champions would struggle to generate enough revenue and have the requisite cash reserves to buy the four-times world player of the year.

Alongside the buyout clause is Messi’s five-year contract, agreed last May, worth £16.3m a season. When this salary is factored in, the total cost of any deal for his transfer would be in the region of an eye-watering £275m.

Real Madrid are the only club who appear able to rival United’s financial muscle – Paris Saint-Germain would also have the restrictions of FFP to consider – but it seems inconceivable Messi would end up at Barcelona’s fiercest rival.

United’s record £750m, 10-year kit deal with Adidas starts next season, meaning the club can expect £75m a season from that contract alone

Who wrote that article @cornelius_blackfoot???

read the article, not the byline..

I like that Bergkamp goal, but a) Nikos Dabizas was the man he beat, and b) he was only imitating what Edmundo did against United in the World Club Cup two years earlier.

Yeah, I take it back... Shit goal...

This would require Liverpool to play in the Champions League.

Not going to happen again during Messi's career.

Unless they create a legends of Europe cup for European Royalty.

Poor old Neverton. Another year without a trophy

Oh yeah, I forgot this year's FA Cup has got Slippy's name on it... L0L...

I'll have whatever they're smoking up in Sunderland.

£70k a week for 3 years? Defoe's agent is a fucking genius.

they could have had borini for that

But is he on a streak?

As long as Captain Race Relations doesn't get his filthy paws on it I couldn't give a shit

Thanks, Mike...
/puts tenner on CFC winning the cup/

Will that be following the money put on Chelsea going the season unbeaten?

I can't think of anyone stupid enough to do that, Mike...

Blimey - get us and the most expensive signing of the transfer window so far.

Gil looks pretty tasty (#youtubeplastic) - if we can start getting some crosses in we may even score again this season.

Bony seems to think he's already the most expensive signing of the window already. Swansea don't... yet.

Rodgers seemingly has no control over his political leanings...
