Ok, so can anyone explain to me why is it "every coach's dream to train RM"? I don't get it. I know that they have a very good squad and nice history, but there are also very good teams out there with whom you can have a great deal of success. What is so alluring in RM?

You just said it yourself: good squad with nice history, plenty of funds to acquire players with, one of the most famous grounds in the world, world class youth academy, etc.

Sure, there is immense pressure with managing there, but if you are linked with the job in the first place, you can probably deal with it just fine (I mean, Ancelotti has managed Juventus, Milan, Chelsea, and PSG...)

Welbeck: Nominated for PFA Young Player of the Year, named to Premier League Most Ineffective XI.

Funny that a Stoke player had the worst foul:tackle ratio.

Now that David Beckham has retired from playing, he may be looking to exercise his option to become an MLS owner sooner than later. Beckham has said he plans on becoming an MLS owner, and MLS vice-president Dan Courtemanche tells me his advisers have already discussed moving forward with the MLS. The contract specifies that Beckham would own an expansion team, not an existing team, and his expansion fee would be $25 million, below the $40 million fee that Montreal paid last year. The more people I talk to, the more I'm hearing that Miami is the city Beckham is most interested in right now.

Finally a team from the southeast. I was hoping it'd be Orlando though, since they have a decent team already. But I think MLS wanted them to build a new stadium, and they are having trouble securing the funds or something like that.

"Shinji Kagawa is one of the best players in the world and he now plays 20 minutes at Manchester United – on the left wing! My heart breaks. Really, I have tears in my eyes. Central midfield is Shinji's best role. He's an offensive midfielder with one of the best noses for goal I ever saw. But for most Japanese people it means more to play for Man United than Dortmund. We cried for 20 minutes, in each others' arms, when he left.

So true, Kagawa on the left is such a waste.

That red and yellow stripes kit is worse than the sunburst kit they're using now, and that's saying something.

Those Barca kits ain't that bad, especially considering what they've pulled out for the last years.

Apparently the yellow and red is supposed to represent the colours on the flag of Spain. The more you know
