One of my uni friends ended up splitting up with his bird (Miss Cardiff 2006) because of his FM addiction. She asked him to choose and he chose FM. Went completely awol for 3 years. Was actually a pretty **** time. He's better now mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the basis they took the emphasis off 'English' that still leaves us with a 'keeper and forward which again would suggest not Rojo.

Or going down the pub and repeating whatever you'd heard in a day to all and sundry who in turn repeated it to everyone else they knew. Can't see the difference myself. Similar for sure, but think of it as a means to express that first thought that comes to your mind where your subconscious normally says "woah, you'll get in trouble for that one", thus keeping you from saying it. Where in the past you'd relay that mildly racist joke to your friend in confidence, with Twitter it now gets spread across the interwebs for all of time to remember.

Twitter does contain millions of randoms spouting rubbish, but it also contains the actual people in question and journalists with good contacts. If you filter it correctly its far better than a "block down the pub told me... XYZ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cestrian Saint Posted 31 July, 2014 Share Posted 31 July, 2014 Rojo has been spoken to. My source tells me he doesn't think he'll be coming. Too much interest from elsewhere and feels we'll be priced out of a deal as others will offer far higher wages. Interesting to see De Vrij say that Utd were never in for him but other clubs were but he wouldn't name them. I'm reliably informed we were one of them. Again, our offer was no where near what others were offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
