Put a 'z' instead of an 's' in Sweden. Zlatan being Zlatan. The bloke talks about himself in third person for his entire career, something like this is just standard. No point getting worked up over a persona. You don't honestly think think he says to his wife "Zlatan wants to **** you. Take off clothes for Zlatan". It's like getting annoyed by what a WWE wrestler says, that's the level of acting Zlatan operates at. A big reason he is who he is now is because of his out of the box quotes.
 
Just thought I'd mention this here. As F-ed up as it is.

We were planning on going to watch Malaga- Deportiva Sunday tea-time/ evening until the Spanish TV companies moved it to a dinnertime KO. (We land Malaga 2 PM.). The cost of that? €15. 15 Euros to watch a top-flight la Liga game in one of the best leagues in the World. 2 days later in Seville, we're getting charged 54 quid sterling.. 3 times as much.

The disparity to what we get charged to most other Country's is beyond criminal.

Conversely, the most down to earth celeb I've ever met. Met him in a border shop post Aldo triumph. 0 arrogance off camera, ridiculously humble, even his tone of voice is completely different.

You don't hate the actual Conor McGregor, you hate the persona he paints to provide box office. Same with Ibra.
 
Saying he is completely different in real life does not excuse the horrible persona either of them potray. Especially with Connor McGregor and the subtle racism he continously spews out to sell himself. Words spoken on a public platform have huge influence over people.

Same way that people are happy to tolerate Zlatan's 'persona' but there are times when a line is crossed such as now.
 
This would explain a lot why nobody touched him at such a cheap price last summer:

Lars Pollmann

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been suspended from tomorrow's matchday squad as a disciplinary measure. Oh boy

Pretty daunting what @fluestertweets writes. Team sources tell him that Aubameyang "allowed himself numerous lapses of discipline, arrives late for training constantly and considers himself untouchable." #bvb https://twitter.com/StefanBuczko/status/931232365799727105 …

When was he cheap? Dortmund wanted over 70 mil for him when Milan were interested I thought

£65/70 M. Considering Utd dropped a £100 M. on Lukaku, and what other strikers went for this past summer, that in this crazy mad market for the best available striker, IMHO, seemed a bargain to me.

But the if his attitude is that bad it maybe explains why Dortmund went so low?

Know what you mean but we were looking at him before the Neymar / Lukaku money was spent though.

He made it pretty clear that he wanted a Milan move, that's when most of the upset started. Milan didn't want to spend that much.

Looks like he's just being a **** now

Edit* Just seen this

"I didn't turn up late for training," he told Bild. "After my trip to Milan I could understand my suspension because I ignored an announcement that time.

"This time I really can't understand it."

Any toughs on creating sticky thread here for all international, CL, EL, other leagues? As the main focal point is here under English sub forum.
This would be create for additional info about other competition or maybe people would be interested in that? I would love to have thread where international discussion and maybe some good games coming for other leagues, that I might miss.
 
Classy performances like that from Ozil is what warms me to the idea of him possibly coming to Old Trafford on a free.

But he's been class since the United rumours picked up, which could suggest it's a motivational/attitude thing? It's as if he's creating a series of auditions.

If we get THIS Ozil, which him rolling it back a few years to his Madrid/early Arsenal days, then you see why Jose wants him. The weight of pass, the decision making, the awareness of what & who's around him - he's gliding around that pitch with such guile, pulling the strings.

Look, I am reserved on him as the next man, but if it's just a case of him wanting this new challenge to bring back this peak Ozil (like Matic), ripping teams apart between the lines, then surely it's hard to argue signing him on a free?!
 
"Yes, Liverpool and Arsenal are in good form, but they still have no more points than us. Can you imagine how annoying that is? Would those Clarets ever f*** off?" - Burnley manager Sean Dyche on their Europa League qualification battle with Liverpool & Arsenal.
 
Not sure how going to United has brought Matic to his peak? His performances so far seem fairly reminiscient of his 16/17 Chelsea performances before he left. Reasonably good most of the time. Occassionaly excellent but with many poor games thrown in between. I believe he had a poor game against Newcastle going by Utd fan comments in other forums.

Peak Matic was 14/15 season when he was probably the best defensive midfielder in Europe and was utterly brilliant nearly every game when we won the title under Jose.

Where does it say he's peaked?
Is there a post on here?

Which is why I say he's rediscovered his peak form. He's been pretty much brilliant/very good in every game. Even when United are poor, he's the pick of the red shirts. I'd say he's the best DM in the league, him and 'Dinho

Out of the two descriptions you provided (14/15, and 16/17), you just reinforced my point, as he's been averaging 8/10's all season. I'd say every United fan on here, who watch every game, can say Matic has been class. Given he was "inconsistent" (according to Chelsea fans) last season, I'd say that's refinding his form, no? Can't have it both ways.
