I can see the upper decks of the stadium from my apartment window. They're empty. I read today that the only reason Spurs even agreed to the match is because Under Armor is their new shirt supplier.

Spuds need the publicity more than Liverpool.

Huddlestone with some sexy passing

Is he still rocking an AFRO?

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

lol, Bentley is the new Beckham. I think it's because of blonde greasy hair rather than playing style.

 

[Error]

Sid Lowe saying Arsenal are closing in on both Carzorla and Sahin.

Very nice.

Cazorla is great. Master at FKs.

 

[Kyoufu]

This game is so dull.

Put Carroll on ffs.

 

[jtb]

Really hope the Cazorla deal will go through; players still haven't been paid, it seems, or at least there's still a lot of uncertainty... should place a lot of doubt in Cazorla's mind. Sahin would just be a very welcome bonus, whether on loan (absolutely fantastic cover for midfield) or on permanent deal (which I think Arsenal could get, esp since there's really no place for him in the Madrid midfield, even moreso with Modric's impending transfer).

Nab a couple promising youngsters along the way, and if the board are feeling particularly ballsy, tell RVP to stfu and stay for another year... If not, Poldi and Giroud are absolutely good enough to score the goals. that squad could compete for the league. Just hope these transfers are wrapped up ASAP.

Not been following the thread as well as I usually do (to my shame). However, needed to post this:

He's on. Carroll twofer.

 

[Scum]

Watch more Olympics, you goons.

 

[GQman2121]

Here come the Carroll's. lol

 

[Kyoufu]

WRONG CARROLL

edit: WOOT

 

[Labadal]

We should try to get Sterling on loan. He looks like he could be a useful player in the future, but he needs first team experience.

ANDY CARROLL.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Best Carroll

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

Fight Carroll with Carroll

 

[MarshMellow96]

Best Carroll

North Carroll is best Carroll. I don't make the rules.

 

[Freewheelin']

Man, Cazorla would be an excellent signing.

 

[Arnie]

Chants of Andy Carroll are funny.

 

[Mastadon]

Jack Robinson <3

 

[Clegg]

Bulgarian press are reporting that Berba is in Turkey for negotiations with Galatasary.

 

[GorillaJu]

80 minutes... lets have a goal already.

 

[Wilbur]

It has to happen. He needs to go for his own good.

 

[rodvik]

I just tuned in so maybe its lost its shape but why isnt Rodgers Liverpool pressing high up the pitch? So far (5 mins) Liverpool are playing pretty direct.

Am I off base?

 

[Soi-Fong]

It has to happen. He needs to go for his own good.

This. It also frees up the huge salary he's had.

 

[Garjon]

Jesus Christ Bassong, it's only a friendly

 

[rodvik]

Hmm my TV seems 4 mins behind. Gonna post after the game so I dont get spoilerd.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Fuck off Borini

¬¬

edit - The fuck Andy?

 

[Clegg]

It has to happen. He needs to go for his own good.

I'll be sad to see him go.

If he does leave then maybe we can use the proceeds to bump up any transfer offers we were thinking of making.

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

Was thinking about going to this match. Glad I didn't.

 

[Mastadon]

I always forget that Bentley is white.

 

[GQman2121]

Was thinking about going to this match. Glad I didn't.

Tickets were as low at $10 when I checked yesterday. My lady is moving away tomorrow, so didn't think I would have time, but here I am watching, while she's getting her hair done. :|

I don't actually moderate Off-Topic, but was told there were apparently some things getting missed so I thought I would stop by and mention this option is available to you. If you PM charlequin he should be able to handle it or forward it to the appropriate person when it comes to Off-Topic moderation.

If you feel there isn't a specific problematic post, but rather that a person's general posting style is a problem, or there are too many offenses to list, simply PM that person's name to charlequin and request that we review their post history.

Thanks for the assistance.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Liverpool need wingers and Tottenham need strikers.

And thus it is as it ever was.

 

[jtb]

also, seeing on Twitter saying France Football claiming M'Vila's asking price is just 15m euros now (down from 25m?). add that to the fact he wasn't banned by the FFF after the euros (lol nasri), so Arsene... no excuses now!

M'Vila for 15m euros would be fucking fantastic.

I bet the US fans are thinking "should have watched the Olympics instead".

Would have had to buy a plane ticket from Houston to Baltimore and I'm already in next weekend for a wedding. The timing for this game was off by one week.

 

[Jensen]

The finals are tape delayed lol

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

Borini almost invisible except for giving the ball away quickly at least once.

 

[GorillaJu]

Fuck. I thought that was gonna be a goal for sure.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Sterling is the next Walcott confirmed.

Zero strength and can't cross properly.

:smug

Can't spell Boring without Borini

[The_Hitcher89]

3 matches in a row in which we've failed to create 2 or more clear goalscoring chances. Hmm

 

[Mastadon]

I think we can all agree that Borini needs to be sold on after that abject performance. I don't see how he can come back from it.

Please don't analyse what is essentially a glorified fitness programme. That way madness lies.

Don't be ridiculous. It's not his fault your team doesn't have the talent to create chances.

Give him one more game, then sell him.

 

[fadetoblack]

Did I miss something re: Nirolak's post? Things have seem pretty tame as of late in here generally, let alone stuff that needed a mod's attention.

Anyhoo, I think women's football has been enjoyable. Granted, I've just been watching the highlights but I like that goals, more than in the men's games, materialize out of nothing. The teams that end up winning are the teams that have a right balance of individual skill and aggressive play. The USA game earlier was a perfect example, Canada-South Africa as well. High pressing in the opposing third almost always seem to lead to good things in these games.

 

[rodvik]

Tottenham vs Liverpool:

I only caught the last 15 mins or so but I assume the heat/ lots of subs just wrecked that game?

What was it like in the first half? Very curious how both these tams will play tactically next season and I couldnt get much from the game. Spurs looked vaugely different (higher line, 1 forward), Liverpool looked rather direct to me.

Anyone who watched the full game have any insights?

 

[Scum]

So, when do we sign Llorente and Cavani?
