I haven't played The Writer yet even though I bought it. But I also fancied playing through the game again.

dont need to be a rocket surgeon to work this out but #lfc's swoop for #sigurdson is now becoming real.
Good news! Well, for us anyway. Feel a bit sorry for Swansea though.
Also, rocket surgeon
Edit: Stephen Martin is also meant to be quite reliable apparently, he think's we'll bid for Sigurdsson as well:

Liverpool will be joining the market in a few days time. I've no idea who. Other than Sigurdsson. Promise.

Take this with a pinch of salt, but I heard a rumour that Sigurdsson is a United fan (apparently this is well known...?) and that he wouldn't be interested in a move to Liverpool.
Indeed. We've really turned a page after Hiddink stepped down.
Yeah I've heard the United fan thing as well. Not sure if he'd let that get in the way of moving to a club though if he's earning more money, playing for a manager he likes, etc. Google translated quotes from him today in an Icelandic newspaper:

What a way to answer my question and show class. Or not.

Great news. He's exactly what we're missing in terms of linking up the play from midfield to attack. Add in a rejuvenated Joe Cole and the potential for Aquilani to return (won't happen) and our squad looks immediately more threatening.
Aye, that interview was when he was 16. "I'd rather work on my dad's fishing boat than go to Liverpool." I doubt that's his mentality now.
Going by those quotes, I think if we bid, we'll get him. Assuming he isn't forced to stay.

Little Shinji crying will come in handy if United sucks in the future
again? dude is on fire. wished he would have scored one against chelsea

this will get a lot of mileage
Yeah, he's on the best form of his life I think.
Btw, Juve-GAF:
Mauricio Isla and Asamoah already agreed terms with Juve.
How? Dortmund is a better side than them atm. We kicked Manchester United out of the CL two years ago with a much weaker team (van buyten, demichelis, etc), and ManU looks way more weak right now than one or two years ago.
lack of City activity has me worried.
Sarcasm and irony is very hard display on the internet.
Andy Carroll's got this
^ France? if Evra plays, no chance you'll win
No Im Germany, but Ribery is on the best form of his life, like elsk said. He's going into the tournement being the best player of last season (ok, behind Ronaldo, maybe.)

Glad to hear LFC will be starting our business soon. Gylfi Sigurdsson would be a great start. Offloading Aquilani if he wants out and maybe Dempsey and Honda on sub 60k a week would be good for us too. Any Uruguayans going cheap out there?
Shitty weather in June? Only in England. Pfft!
So, Kagawa to Man Utd and Chelsea to Hazard all official now, eh? Cool. I want to see who the rest of the PL clubs are sniffing around now.
PS thoroughly enjoying my watch through of cartoons this long weekend. X-Men and Megas XLR are awesome shit!

Ribery is beasting and Benzema has improved alot under Mou. They're really well rounded as a team.
I can see this happening. There are a lot of rumours coming from Villa that Lerner is spending big this summer. We shall see I guess.

I just want some midfielders.
Mine is Lucas from Mother 3. He's wearing Del Piero's coat.
So I was checking out the results of the Swedish National team to see how many goals they've conceded lately. Now obviously there will be better attendance by the time the corruptly selected World Cup rolls around, but check out the attendance of their two matches in Qatar earlier this year.

100 people at one match and 200 at the other. These guys probably felt like they were in grade school again with those crowds. Hah.

Been really surprised by Hassan Ali Kaldirim and Sercan Sararerererererer in these friendlies. Still lacking any decent strikers, though.
Ukraine was taken apart no problems, this is what happens with a competent lineup and manager that doesn't look like he's waiting for the bus whilst falling asleep in the dugout.

For sure. If we got three more I would be happy.
Ha, okay. I was wondering what the coat was about.
And with that, 4-0 win for France. Feels good.
Lol, even if it is a friendly, I still can't see them completely filling their stadiums in 2022. Though, Qatar do have 10 years to coerce people to come to the stadiums or create CGI crowds.
Fake edit: nice back assist and goal by France
I'm just curious. You said Lewa move to Bayern would be a step backwards, and then Kagawa moving to MU isn't moving backwards?
Bayern success in recent years is on level with Man United, and we're in a way better economic situation. We also have a much better squad. So I don't really see how Kagawa moving to ManU would be a step forward for him, given your analogy.
Fuck-awesome, if true. Seems like it. Asamoah is fantastic, but so is Isla. Marotta being Marotta, we signed a co-ownership deal, with an option to buy the second half next year. Nice.
So I guess this means we're betting everything on the 3-5-2, while still keeping the door for the 4-3-3 open. Caceres will be used as a CB, Lichsteiner mostly as a RB in a four-man defensive line and Isla as a RWB in a five-man midfield. What's more, both are pretty young (23) and both have BALLS, Vidal style.
Marotta, you devil!
he just made a joke. don't take it too serious
I think this is the point when someone posts EPL>Bundesliga.
I wasn't being serious.
