Anyone can make an 'effort', or have 'passion'. Roy Keane likes CHARACTER, which is the other two focused with a bit of QUALITY.

I don't feel roy keane was that good as a football player. He had the greatest power, which was influence, presence, passion, etc.Originally Posted by SvN
He was very good.
lol
Mainly the passion though.
Proper mong performances all round here. The Manager's Player of the Year is one now though so hold on.
Brighton.
I had no idea Knockaert was such a midget.
Leeds vs Warrington was on and I sat through that wank. Decision-making to rival everyone who started that game of football.
Fellaini is so fucking pointless in games like that. When he has to get behind the ball and play in midfield he's a complete spastic. Basically breaks the whole shape and flow of the team on his own.
We looked much better when he went off and would have won the game if we'd started with the side which was on after the first 2 subs.
Mourinho is such a colossal prick. You have to start to wonder if his entire managerial career to date has been saved by 'big personalities' in the dressing room keeping everything going, or if he's just undergoing some sort of existential crisis at United. Everyone goes under the bus.
Murray v Matic footrace was the highlight of the night.
The politics of Real Madrid turned him. Like the politics of not having literally love him and his personality turned him into the angry, jaded individual we see today. Any shred of humanity he had went out the window there and he's never been the same since.
To put it in Star Wars terms, he always admired the Rebels but they rejected him and the dark side embraced him, changing him forever.
There are some complete no marks in the squad who constantly embarrass themselves. Glad I didn't watch.
You Man United fans need to Brighton up a bit.
I'm rooting for Huddersfield to survive, now. Never would've thought the promoted sides had enough in them to grind it out.
It was nice to see Knockaert prove me wrong and properly run a top flight game against big opponents. Exciting player.
If he could correct everyone (including himself) on the pronunciation of his name, he'd be England material.
Speaking of pronunciation, how do you lot say Roberto Firmino’s surname?
Fur-meen-oh
Fur-meen-yo
Fur-meen-ee-oh
I'm a twit
The last one. He is Brazilian so the sound at the end, i always pronounce as knee-yo
It's the first one in Baz's post. In Portuguese the extra 'h' implies a 'y' sound.
Ronaldinho = Ronaldeen-yo
Carvalho = Carval-yo
Carvalhal = Carval-yal
But... Firmino = Firmeen-o
Alright David Pleat.
Second one.
Wife concurs.
People seemingly adding thay Brazilian 'h' into Firmino's name as they say it does my fucking head in.
Fear, me? No.
Firm Eno.
Our Bobby.
Yeah. Imagine not knowing the intricacies of Latin languages.
I don't yet and I can still pronounce it properly. There have been enough Brazilian players around in football for long enough now that you can spot the pattern.
It's a great English tradition to mispronounce names of foreigners. Solskjaer got about 13 different pronunciations once he rocked up.
It works both ways though; Nicky Banger and Phil Gridelet weren't helping.
Who was it that said "Solshar-ah?"
Barry Davies, I think.
Starting to look into the pronunciations is as much the stuff of wankery as the Pareee, Brasil, Munchen, etc brigade.
I can see why an Irishman might want to stop people pronouncing things properly becoming too widespread, but calm down.
Thanks John, top work.
I won't even go into the irony of that coming from a skirt wearing twat with a mouthful of marbles.
Who was that Celtic writer (blogger) who gave himself a pretend Irish name?
He's BRITISH mate.
Phil McGillivan. Or Phil Mac Giolla Bhain as I think he liked to be known.
As are you.
So this is all basically the worst of all possible outcomes for me. Liverpool and Real Madrid are the two teams I hate the most, and one of them is definitely going to win. Unless something amazing happens.
There's an Irish version of most (if not nearly all) English names, as you'll find in other languages too. I've no idea who he is or why he's using it if he's British, but it's not like he's gone and made it up.
Give me a scenario where one of them doesn't win it.
Having minutes silence in 25 years time for justice for the 30,000?
Massive terrorist attack mid-game.
I'm a proud Scot.
*Scotch
I'm going to settle on "literally every player on both sides fails drug tests".
That or an unfixable clerical error in the UEFA office that accidentally gave the trophy to Plymouth Argyle.
