Fuck you.I know you secretly support the USA NT, don't lie!
Hahahahaha. Just kidding, I understand you, I wouldn't be able to support USA even if I lived there...
Are you guys playing Costa Rica at San José or at México next?

San José first, then the Azteca. Crazy CONCACAF scheduling. I think we shouldn't have too many problems with them, Cuscatlán was always gonna be the biggest hurdle.
Yes, I don't know what's wrong with Costa Rica NT really... they have a lot of quality and they invest a lot of money in football (unlike Honduras) and still they fail to defeat any direct rival (Honduras, México, USA) or even smaller sides like El Salvador.
It's like they don't believe in themselves. I think you'll notice Joel Campbell at least in the match at San José, that kid is going to be huge in a few years.

Are you guys actually buying fake kits from this triads site?
Awesome Animals was hired by them. He's their new junior PR.
Anybody see this?
It shows Kagawa in his 10/11 season for Dortmund and his Cerezo Osaka days as well. Pretty interesting to watch how's he's changed.
It seems like he's maybe (lost?) a bit of flair from the dribbles and such that he tried in his time in Cerezo Osaka, but that may be just because he matured in not trying to take on whole defenses and constantly losing the ball.

Edit: 1:37 to 1:44 for example, I've never seen him try anything crazy like that in the 11/12 season.

Best picture ever. Hummels is a god.
Sort of. I think we saw in the second half of the season that Moyes can get some nice football going when he has the right players to pick from, that was my only major worry. His teams are always hard to beat as well, sometimes Spurs can get a little too leaky.
Pienaar might actually get a look in if Moyes came as well, he showed his class this season. Really with the players we've got its hard to see Moyes getting worse results than Harry, it's just hard to see him getting better results than Chelsea et al. By no means impossible though.

Not as surprised as most Newcastle fans.
He could only be described as immense for us for the whole season. Probably one of the biggest injustices as far as national team selections goes.

A new shirt appears:
No idea what it's supposed to be, CL shirt maybe? Looks certainly real to me with the second star sticked on the side.
Would buy with symmetrical stars.

We're meeting with Verratti's agent today as well!
I can't view the pics but I assume it's this?
Yup, Jeep is going to be a sticker it seems. But at least it's in black and white!
The sticker will completely RUIN the black jersey
edit: Unless Jeep is in white?
Neat.
My genius plan to shoot me up to the top backfired horribly. I fear the appropriate time to commit fantasy seppuku is rapidly approaching.
Really not sure how I feel about BT getting the Premier League rights. Right now I don't think it's a good thing, but that could change depending on how they choose to price it etc.
At least with Sky and ESPN you had the other sport ESPN offers if you were interested in it - more football, MLB, NHL, UFC, Rugby etc. What other rights will BT have? ESPN and Sky seem to share the vast majority of them now, so what's left for BT to fill out this channel with?
Yet again it's more subscription fees for customers, especially if they like other sports and will need Sky, ESPN and BT now. The EU messed things up with the "anti competitive" ruling. All it did was ensure we end up paying more than we were previously.
Apparently BT get the best choice of games though with the combination of packages they've bought, so they get first picks on the final day. I doubt Sky are happy about that!

Not sure if this has been posted but apparently PSG wants Andy Carroll if the T.Silva and Ibra deal fails. They offering £20 mil for him. I believe Carlo was a fan of Andy when he was manager at Chelsea and was trying to buy him.
That simply has to be false.
If its true they better stump up some major cash for Britain's premier striker. 20m? Meh.
His marketing potential is huge, too. Such a handsome lad.
Do you want him anywhere near Laure though? Is Paris ready for Andy Carroll.
I don't even know if he has the co-ordination to shag. He'd get his legs tangled.
Guilty. How fucken good is it. And Niamh <3<3<3

Wow, a lot happened last night.
Spurs without a manager and another subscription to bend over for.

Salazar will be the first to post animated gifs of the inevitable cell-phone-in-the-mirror videos of big Andy's ponytail bobbing around between Laure's legs.
I would commit Murakami and lower myself into a well for a few days.
Is committing Murakami where you force yourself to write 10 books with indistinguishable main characters and identical plot structures?
Best picture ever. Hummels is a god.
That's a perfect "Haters gonna hate" pic.
No word about Murakami, awesome writer.
Is his work comparable to Murakami's? In sense of subjects and style? Any titles to recommend?
