What happened there?
A very late penalty/equaliser. Arsene complained, Kenny said "ah piss off."elsk said:

Only the top 3 Bundesliga team qualify for the Champions League by the way.
So Bundesliga only gets the four Champions League places starting season 12/13? Or next season?elsk said:Actually, just 2 get direct ticket, one (Bayern) has to play against some random team first.
Next season Bundesliga is getting the 4 tickets (3full/1playoff). So Calcio will have just 3.

Stubo said:As the prospect of getting no-one to strengthen the midfield increases (besides Phil Jones, arguably), I'd be more interested in signing a player of his type.
I'm pleased to see the Hamsik rumour appear this evening, since he's a player I mentioned to friends months back as a potential transfer. I'm used to SAF picking up these sorts of players who aren't the most expensive available, and many of them turn out to be valuable members of the first team, or at least great bench options. Either would be fine by me.

If this is to believed, he already has...DominoKid said:Hamsik would fetch quite a price once the stories started rolling.
hoping were also looking at players like Gourcuff, Banega and Defour.

Kuyt should've let it roll in.
Bungieware said:Villa are replacing Downing with N'Zogbia. One of the most underrated players in the league and a fantastic signing at £9 million.
Got it, cheers. Glad to see Germany getting recognised.elsk said:Right now, just the 3 first are going to play CL (Dortmund, Leverkusen and Bayern playing playoff).
Bundesliga 11/12 will make the fist 4 teams play CL, so CL 12/13 will have 4 german teams and just 3 italian teams. Don't know if I'm being clear (my english kind of sucks).

Dark Machine said:You know, with all our interest in Left Backs suddenly going quiet an old name has suddenly been cropping up in my mind again. Emiliano Insua. One of those Cecil thought didn't rate highly enough on Football Manager and so shipped out on loan. He's back with the squad in Malaysia (couldn't get a Chinese Visa in time) and I reckon he'll play in the remaining pre-season games. I personally really rate him, he's only 22, he's quick, he had a good assist rate when he actually played for us, and I think Clarke and co can sort out his positioning sense which is where he has problems. He also counts as 'home-grown' for us.
I think the backroom team wants a good look at him before committing (sizable) funds to a new Left Back. I can see him being the starting Left Back next season, just a feeling I have.
Edit: Dani Ayala is another young lad who might be making them think again about putting in for a new CB. He's gotten rave reviews wherever he's gone on loan.
Wes said:Downing to Liverpool for £20m seems almost complete with Dalglish having got a flight back from the pre-season tour to get it done.
N'Zogbia to Aston Villa for £10m seems close. Sunderland have put in a late bid.
Given also to Aston villa for £3.5-£4m but he's haggling with Man city over compensation in terms of wages I believe.
There's some gaining traction in rumours of a bid from us for Scott Parker. Frankly I think £7m is a bit steep for someone of his age.
And we may be popping back to City to pick up Shaun Wright Phillips for £4m.

rodvik said:Agree on Parker.
Also Shaun Wright Phillips. Decent player but what wages will he want and is he really what we need? Not sure....

As a Chelsea fan - that is fucking hideous. Our second and third kits last year were nice, thatis not. It's the yellow and the collar.Kylehimself said:New Chelsea third. I presume it's legit since all the leaks this year have been.

I hate kits with collars. If that thing had a round neck I'd be down with it and would of bought. Think I'll give it a miss.
ATF487 said:I thought he played well in the 2009/2010 season, I was sort of disappointed when he went out on loan. I'm not sure what his wage is like, it seemed like they wanted to get rid of him, but we could have a solid collection of fullbacks next year. Insua, Johnson, Kelly, Flanagan, Robinson, Aurelio for the 4 weeks that he's not injured
