I genuinely thought that was a doodle of Kompany's head
 
Got a terrible headache probably due to the lack of sleep. Couldn't just go to bed after that match yesterday, so stayed up and finished my uni report (due to tomorrow) and then wake up today and realize most of the stuff I wrote, drunk on that victory, is shit.

Any football player with quality would be stupid to move to arsenal with the mindset that he's going to win anything there.

Mou was right, Wenger is a specialist in failure.

this is half true.

Barcelona complained to UEFA that the pitch is to high.

According to UEFA, the pitch can not be higher than 3 centimeters so Atletico cut it this morning.

They do not have to water the pitch though, and they do NOT plan to either.

Love it. Fuck knows who got cropped out though.

Will look good with the gold PL patches on the side :p

The shirt seems a little unnaturally tight to their chests, not 100% convinced its legit yet.

Plus hasn't Gerrard and Suarez both used that exact pose before? Would be fairly easy to shop their heads in.

Bye bye Santi

I don't doubt Arsenal want to win the league, but with that strikeforce and that snail paced midfield...you ain't gonna win shiiiit
You're mistaken to judge our midfield without taking into account our absentees. Ramsey, Ozil and Walcott all have pace. Our midfield was the best in the country for the first half of the season. So, all the pieces are there. The problem has resulted from our lack of options in the forward position.

I was this close to calling in on a popular radio football show and insult their whore mothers, when I heard them discussing the 'Destro case'. The hyperbole and the lenght they were willing to go to make it seem like this is some terrible precedent that could change the way refs operate ... LOOOOOOOOL. Give me a fucking break, you fucking Roma-biased muppets. He punched a guy, the ref blew the whistle, but it was for a different reason altogether. He didn't see Destro punch the other player. And that - not seeing a violent gesture - is the only basis for retroactive action on violent conduct. It's all that matters. Why the fuck should it now suddenly be applied only when the ref doesn't see it because he's "looking away"??? What's the fucking difference? "But he's already judged the situation in this case." No, he hasn't. How can he judge something he didn't see, either because he was looking away or because his view was obscured or whatever the reason. He didn't see, Destro got a well-deserved ban. The end.

I've decided to keep the bet on. It was clearly a sign from God, and really it's a win-win situation for me. Either Utd go through and I make £826.72, or Utd lose and I get to see Moyes looking sad and confused.

Wow, you have a string mentality when it comes to money. Hope you win that money!

micah richards confirmed he's leaving city, along with lescott, sinclair and probably rodwell and barry.

that leaves two english players in their squad right?

I really would love to see Sinclaier and Rodwell back at Everton. How much would they cost?

Walcott can do damage in the final third with his pace granted, but you have so many players who will play in front of the back 4 and do nowt damage in behind.

Bar Theo, I don't think Ozil and Wilshere are the type to stretch and make runs in behind. Ox maybe, but he's fading in the last few weeks.

Disagree you had the best midfield at the start of the season. You had the best midfielder in Ramsey, but it's still right unbalanced.

New Pool kit looks sharp.

I just hope Liverpool's away kit is better next year. Sweet jesus the current one is atrocious.

Edit: Meh. Better than the current abortion, but that isn't saying much.

Warrior have done that before in official shots:


But that tattoo on Saurez' wrist says both his kids, so definitely a new promo shot

With all due respect, Ramsey was the best player in country until his injury and lifted all those around him, yes, but you're forgetting how well it performed generally. Our problems since stemmed from poor mentality in big games, injuries and having an ineffective donkey up front. Please understand.

Not sure I'm keen on the thickness of the red lines on that away kit, but the mere fact that it's yellow is a big bonus, given it won't be a pain in the ass to go away to Villa and West Ham anymore.
