Mags getting in a tizzy on Twitter as someone has said Sky Italia are reporting that Demba Ba has signed for Galatasaray for 11m euros.

Its canny funny watching them panicking but no way is it true.

I don't think Moyes would be right for Spurs as well. One of my feelings again, no poem this time.

Seriously I'm gonna keep rooting for AVB.

Also, Hibbert and Everton have formally announced that Hibbert is going to take the penalty kick (If one happens) this upcoming friendly game against AEK Athens.

I don't know how to riot at home. Maybe I'l break a mug or something.

I hope so
Sorry Arsenal-GAF
They already bought a player though.

I just hope we keep those two players at Everton and sign Pianaar on permenant basis. Everything else is opttional.

What fascinates you about AVB apart from his sideline squatting?

Well he's obviously a good manager to do what he did with Porto in his first season. I think he came to Chelsea and was nervous about having to get people like Terry and Lampard out, so reacted defensively to it. He made some good signings, and the signings that are there now - Hazard, maybe Hulk - would probably have been bought anyway and worked with his tactics.

Spurs have a team that could easily play like he would want them to and apart from maybe VdV, Gallas and Adebayor there doesn't seem like many big egos. I think he'd do well there

Van der Vaart has a smoking hot wife. He can do what he wants.

Podolski hasn't impressed for Germany in the Euros. He's been pretty wasteful in possession and lax on the ball.

What do Bundesliga gaf think of him and will he be good at Arsenal?

I think they said he's much better when played centrally. We all know Arsene won't do that.

He'll be good if fucking Wenger doesn't fucking play him out of fucking position.

11M€ from Melo + 8M€ from Elia + 6M€ from Krasic + 3M€ from Ziegler = 28M€. Now let's add those 30M€ we stashed away for the WC striker and cover whatever team in gold. C'mon Falcao!



Obligatory picture whenever Vincenzone is mentioned:

For Marotta, a 30M = 15M Striker + 3x 5M Padoins.

I'm pretty sure that the code under comments isn't a valid tracking number, so am I supposed to get one later or what?

Yeah, LW is not his position. Köln's relegation is probably still in his mind, too. As striker, he could do well. As LW, not very optimistic.

I hate it when stuff I order takes way too long to get here. Right now I'm waiting for two weeks for a concert ticket which usually takes about three/four days to get delivered. So frustrating.

Reuters reported this yesterday.

First sign of desperation.

My favorite Japanese writer is English, anyway. Kazuo Ishiguro. Both of his well-known books (The Remains of the Day and Never Let me Go) are, IMO, some of the best I've ever read.

Both such good books. Never Let Me Go is truly heart-breaking.

An odd destination but whatever. Letting him go is for the best, IMO. We need a new striker and a new winger as I want Newcastle to be playing a 4-5-1 formation. Ba doesn't fit in to that, neither would he want to be a sub.

Anyway, Tiote has come out and said again that he loves Newcastle and has no desire to leave. Atta' boy.

Galliani has apparently said "prayers have been answered" and that the "President wants to keep him" in regards to Thiago Silva.

Seems like Meelan may have pulled off a very nice PR stunt here!

I don't know about you guys, but my favourite book is Master and Margarita. Love it so much thatI have read it 6 times. Soo good.

Currently I am reading Coming up for Air by George Orwell. So far so good.

I hate reading or hearing assertions that Spurs declined because of Harry being linked with the England job. They ran into the same problem as last year – their top performers stop performing well in the back half of the season. And they were outright robbed in a few instances by poor refereeing. The game vs City was one instance, and I can't remember who the other was against but I recall it was a smaller team, maybe Norwich.

Don't think the England team thing changed anything at all.

I think many have the Spurs supporters here have also mentioned that he started playing a completely different formation, one that didn't work.

Why don't they just sell the club? I mean holy shit, it's either keep the club alive (in some form) or vanish forever...
