Oh wow, Pato and Berlucunt may very well be dead to those qatari guys. Imagine if Berlu made Pato step out of the deal after some handshake ? Would be not good...holy shit. apparently berlusconi stepped in and blocked the tevez and pato deals.
what a guy, looking out for his daughter.
i'm not too sad if we don't get tevez, we don't really need him tbqh. give el-shaarawy more playing time plz.

I still say that at the beginning of the season Villareal was a very strong team. Very solid. The fact that Cazorla went to Malaga and Rossi and Nilmar got early njured destroyed completely the team's power.
What's funny is "Torres scores bicycle kick in training" was something Chelsea boasted about.Dunno if you guys have seen this but it's pretty funny.
Number 3 on top news is HUGE NEWS!
Sorry for crap resolution, found on another site.
Errr I have no idea, sorry, I've closed the page now. Just been going through OT1 from the first page, probably got through around 8/9 pages.

No agreement for Tevez. Galliani on SSN just now hugging Tevez's agent, but it's not happening at the moment.

Wow, you can get 3/1 on United to win the League at the moment
Thanks, will add those few now. In the case of people making 2 predictions, I've added the latest ones
That is the thing, none. Its a lose-lose situation we are in right now. Hopefully, Moyes is making the players play awful on porpuse so he could get a cashflow from somewhere. If that is not the case, god help us, because as things stands, we could become the next Chralton/Sheffiled Wednesday/Leeds/Etc...
He's in a shitty situation but he's not free from blame. His squad selections have been horrible this year. He repeatedly plays Osman outside when he is much more effective playing off the striker. This is largely because he refuses to drop Cahill, who can't score for his life anymore and offers nothing to the team otherwise. Vellios has been exiled to the reserves after leading the team in goals while playing 1/10th the minutes of Saha or Cahill.
Barkley looked fantastic in preseason and against QPR, then Moyes benches him for one bad play against Blackburn. He's fielded a central midfield of Neville and Heitinga at least 3-4 times this year. Saha has been dreadful, yet finds himself starting every week. He still doesn't trust Drenthe, yet he is the only player who ever looks like creating anything when he is on the field. Bilyaletdinov continues to drag down Baines' level of play whenever they play on the left together, yet is still getting starts over Gueye, who's looked good enough in the few minutes he's been given this year. Now Anichebe is back in the squad and won't be due another goal until 2014.
Everton still have plenty of good players, but you would never know it from watching.

Sporting won´t let Wolfswinkel go for less than 20 million . He´s the only good striker that we have and he just arrived in the summer.
Hey, now you have gone to far, Anichebe is awesome and he will prove you wrong
by scoring by the end of 2016
Nice news.
Some goals: http://youtu.be/JvYAjdhQop8
A couple more to celebrate.

I don't understand the point of buying these young players if they aren't being given the chance. Liverpool have a bunch of young forwards which I'm sure given the chance would do much better than what Carroll is doing now.

United should get Chris Samba (preferrably on loan)

ok i will clarify things for everyone regarding today's events.
we were going to fund the tevez transfer with the money we got from selling pato to PSG. however, pato came out and publicly announced a couple of hours ago, probably after threats of no more sex from barbara, that he has zero intention of leaving milan. there are also indications that berlucunt himself got involved to stop the pato sale but that is unconfirmed.
so galliani said the deal has now been "interrupted," presumably because of lacks of funds. right now there are two possibilities:
1. galliani and berlucunt are scheming to force city to accept a shittier bid closer to january 31.
2. we are really broke and won't be signing tevez at all because we don't have the pato money

Mexico will play Brazil in Dallas next June... fuck, I might actually go.
It would be stupid of us to let him go right now. I think he still has a lot of time left with us. If he goes anywhere, I'd want him to go to ManU
Is it being played in the Cowboy's Stadium? Might go watch that.

The de Jong brothers are pretty average. Luuk is slightly better than Siem, but I can't see them playing in a big competition.

I can see that happening in a couple of years, Man United have been keeping a close eye on him.

My predictions aren't looking too bad at all.
However, only 2 people placed Tottenham in the top 4 - Ushojax and dc89.
I think dc89 will get the closest to getting the top 4 right so far.

Did I go with City, United, Tottenham & Chelsea in no particular order?
Edit: looked at OP.
1. United
2. City
3. Chelsea
4. Tottenham
I did a bet with some coworkers before the start of the sesaon to predict the top 10. Mine were:
1. Man Utd
2. Man City
3. Chelsea
4. Tottenham
5. Arsenal
6. Liverpool
7. Everton
8. Stoke City
9. Sunderland
10. Aston Villa
I have the e-mail to prove it!
Gerrard owning Mancini, fucking lol.
It's win-win, really. They're both going to waste big money on a player they don't really need

Brazil and Argentina will play in New Jersey, those should both be worth watching.

It's about money.
It's hard to understand Mancini, tbh.
Gerrard "You say to the press that Wayne Rooney tried to get Kompany sent off - and you try to get Johnson sent off."
Mancini “I say what I want" "yes, yes”
And according to youtube comments..Mancini wants frosties?
When? And Im assuming it at Red Bulls new stadium?
Theyre so damn delicious

Nope, I'm assuming New Meadowlands. It has a much higher capacity.
Brazil arel also playing the US in Boston or DC.
boring places to host futbol matches...why not Los Angeles?
The problem there though is that us and Leeds were both sunk by off the field issues. We were ran almost into the ground and Leeds' problems with Risdale are well documented. We've had some terrible managers in the last decade - Alan Irvine being one of the worst, which might be of interest to Everton fans - but it was always boardroom issues that cost us.
Surely its the same issue at Everton. Moyes may make some poor decisions in your eyes, but surely there's a bigger picture here? He seems to have spent what little money he's had available well and Everton haven't seriously been considered relegation fodder for years, which frankly is a minor miracle when you consider the sheer lack of investment in that side.
Everton have got problems that run pretty deep, but if you do become the next Wednesday or Leeds it won't be because of Moyes.
