I find that I use it most during the season, when managers give pre-match and post-match interviews/conferences. Players too.
Hopefully there will be something during pre-season. I'm getting bored here
This.
Looks like City sold Greg Cunningham to Bristol City. Not a surprise as I saw an article a few days back where he suggested he needed to leave to progress in his career.

You'll love it man! Good music, good story, good art, funny, scary, the whole deal, retro graphics, effective - the whole deal almost.
I love both consoles and handhelds. Having said that, I wouldn't mind a handheld only future with Vita-like systems <3
Chelsea have their savior too
Sometimes he REALLY looks like a blonde Messi
I would think City would be a really bad move for him. Where on earth would he fit in that midfield? He's at the age and ability level where he should be playing first team football, week-in, week-out.
I could see Arsenal, United, Newcastle, Spurs, and Liverpool all interested. Spurs just got Gylfi and they're looking to bring in Oscar as well, so they may not be interested. United just got Kagawa, but never bet against them buying up talent. Newcastle have a hard-on for French players (and French players seem to have a hard-on for them) but if they won't pay the asking price for De Jong then I doubt they will for Belhanda, which leaves, to me, Arsenal and Liverpool as the most likely contenders.
Which means... Arsenal
Chelsea TV is awesome throughout the year, many shows that make it worthwhile. If it's not too expensive, go all the way and try out a full year of LFC TV.
I can understand that. I spend so much time around Japanese, German and Australian people these days that an American accent does practically sound foreign sometimes.
Still, it's always seemed like the most plain form of English, as it's what is generally taught as the standard "International" English in Asia and South America.
But I did notice Hope Solo's voice in that video. It's pretty hot
18-22 is my guess.
The BBC is saying that goal-line technology is expected to be approved today at an IFAB meeting. Competitions and leagues should then be free to introduce it if and when they want to:

I don't necessarily disagree with your opinion, but he's a brilliant talent and was named as our fall back plan if Hazard didn't happen so I'm still hopeful. I imagine he would jump ahead of Milner and Johnson (who will likely be sold) but it's impossible to say.
Read an article about why goal line technology is a huge mistake... and while I don't subscribe to the conclusion, I do find the main point intriguing, which is that goal-line technology is the first step in an addiction to exactitude – one which can never be fully satiated.
I kind of understand what he's saying, but on the other hand I'm so fucking sick of controversies from these sorts of things. Especially having just lost the FA Cup Final in spite of what appeared to be an equalizing goal. I'd want to know, for sure.
Jumping ahead of Johnson would be a damn shame, since he'd still be 3rd or 4th choice. He wouldn't get nearly enough minutes. And Milner is a steeled, work-horse type midfielder, while Belhanda is a playmaker type, not dissimilar from David Silva. The thing is, he's too similar to David Silva and Samir Nasri to deserve to be third choice. But if he's gonna go after money and not football, then not much anyone can do.

I really don't see how it could be a mistake by any means.

And then Paul Lambert gets Randy's checkbook out and swipes him up. He'd look great in Claret and Blue.

It's boring to you because it's your default accent ;p
Harry Redknapp wrote in his column about the VAT being lumped on 5 a side;
"This is just diabolical. It's absolutely disgusting."
...
I'll ask.

Well thankfully they're designed by people who not only have degrees in fashion design, but also landed high paying jobs for one of the largest football kit companies in the world!
Not that they're infallible (I hate some kit designs), but I would defend that City kit. I really like the collar. The fit is a bit boring, though Umbro, like Nike has never had inspiring silhouettes. Really wish that the badge was colored.
I just bought a month then whilst grilling myself a BLT. Might go in for the season one though, although I found that I didn't use my account that much last season because most juicy bits were on SSN or around the internet anyway. I found it invaluable for pre-season though last year so I'm more than happy to pay a fiver.

There's only one right option there and it's not a mediocre danish show.
I've just started Mad Men - It's awesome!
oh ma god - Not kidding they're my two favourite shows, it's almost impossible to seperate them. I'd probably say Mad Men just because it's longer, and it's honestly the best television programme ever made. Forbrydelsen is nearly as good though, such a good crime drama. Sarah Lund is a bit of a milf too, in a strange way.
Rodgers just talking about how Gerrard's coming in for a chat and a coffee this afternoon.
You're a JT.
Watched the first 10 episodes, didn't do much for me.
Me: it could be worse, I could be wearing this.
*shows picture of United home and away side by side*
Her: *shakes head* who makes these?
Me: Nike.
Her: I mean what kind of person designs it?
Me: I dunno, but it has to be functional.
Her: it makes me sick.
Me: it makes you sick?
Her: yeah, it reminds me of shortbread packaging.
There we have it.
Dude I know that. It's just funny to hear her opinion, she thinks they should look awesome and all pretty and stuff and balls to the functionality.
It's just for the benefit of the new members this time, I'll not mention it again.

L'Equipe say the FFF are seriously considering Zidane as their next manager. I can see the thinking behind it, as the main problem is the egos and not the coaching methods or the tactics. Not sure if it's the right first step for him though.
I assume it's synchronized.
Liverpool GK 3rd:
and some training gear:
Call me crazy, but I fuckin' love the Warrior kit designs.

I find it tough to defend Warrior's decision for that font. Eww...
Feels like it should say Cobra Kai Karate Academy.
Yeah, the font ruins a lot of their merch.
Liverpool GK 3rd:
I don't mind this too much, but isn't it a little close to the actual player shirts? It seems like it would work better against the Home or Away design.

You're wrong and you should feel bad. The pacing is slow as fuck as first, but it's such brilliant writing and acting.
