Former Juve player Di Livio "Bonucci is no Montero"

Infographic that City's website put together:

Suarez's performance is particularly impressive when you match it to Ronaldo and Costa. For those curious, the dude whose name you don't recognize is already done with his 2013 season (he plays in Lithuania). I knew Fredy Montero was having a good season but didn't realize he was at 13 goals. I hope the MLS got some sort of sell-on clause included in his transfer!

Apparently Kelechi Iheanacho's family have received their travel visas and will be headed to England so he can officially sign for Man City. I think he'll probably have to be loaned for some time to get his work permit though.

Iheanacho was the MVP at the U-17 World Cup that Nigeria won recently.

President of Trabzonspor “I wouldn’t see this as an unlucky draw.”

“After having faced Lazio in the first round, I wanted with all my heart to face another Italian team. Juve were knocked out of the Champions League by a Turkish team and we can give them the pleasure of being eliminated by a Turkish side again!

“We believe in our chances and usually do well against Italian opponents. If we are at the top of our game, then we can beat Juventus home and away, as we have many fans and playing the first leg in Turin can be an advantage. If we get a good result there, we can hope for a draw on our own turf.”

Here's one of Reuters photos from the weekend. It's a kid in a LFC shirt chilling in a burned out car outside of a mosque that has been destroyed in the Central African Republics capital, Bangui. Civil war sucks....

This is too good. At first I thought the keeper was doubled over and puking which made it even better.

We can announce that Tim Sherwood, Chris Ramsey and Les Ferdinand will take charge of the First Team whilst the Club progresses discussions.

Jose Mario Rocha, Luis Martins and Daniel Sousa leave the coaching staff and we wish them well for the future.

I wouldn't even read Gaming Side if you paid me. that whole place is an oasis for viral marketers and petulant little babies who tow the corporate line without getting paid zilch for it. Case in point, that 8byte fella.

I don't think we can afford to hang around, I'm sure we will know within 72 hours.

it's going to be your manager

Doesn't Pochettino have a really close relationship with the Southampton chairman? Be surprised if he goes mid-season. Laudrup would be an easier target.

this is so fuckin odd.

remember that time where a bunch of people were banned cause they're were MS virals spreading the good word about Xbox One?

but then you have dudes with Ryse and Killer Instinct avatars, who are clearly, if not getting paid, getting at least some swag from the devs and push the game every chance they got and nothing happens.

it's like being an obvious viral marketer is ok, which is what these folks essentially are.

The whole industry is a giant Sp*rs mess right now. can't wait till the micro transaction nonsense kills the whole thing for at least a decade, like E.T did back in the day.

How about Baldini himself? He's got experience as a manager, and he's the one who bought these players in, so he should be tasked with getting them playing.
Wenger was right when he said "[the director of football] buys the players and when it does not work you are guilty for not using them well".

I think, honestly, the big mis-step for Spurs was Soldado.

He's a great striker, don't get me wrong, but he's not suited to how Spurs have set up at all. Having Bale and Lennon on the left and right respectively, he would have thrived, but using Lamela, Siggy, Townsend, etc, as inverted wingers has really limited the type of service where he is effective.

It's like when we used to sub Carroll off for Downing.

The biggest mis step for Spurs was hiring AVB in the first place. He is not any better than Harry and wasn't any better when he was given the job. Spurs can blame whoever they like but this rests at Levy's door as does the fact he can't hire anyone or recruit the calibre of players required to finish the league above us or fulfil his objectives.

If anyone should be next to go its him.
 
My network game of FM13 has been a nightmare so far today, hopefully MIlan does something to turn things around. Won't happen, but at this point I don't really care.

Milan XI: Abbiati; De Sciglio, Zapata, Bonera, Emanuelson; Poli, De Jong, Muntari; Montolivo, Kaka, Balotelli

Roma XI: De Sanctis; Maicon, Benatia, Castan, Dodò; Bradley, De Rossi, Strootman; Ljajic, Destro, Gervinho
