Isn't it usually late August ready for a September release?
Probably not until September.
Figured, looks like its coming out the 28th of September? So probably 2 weeks prior.
We'll play Reina in midfield when Adam and Henderson are having a bad day. That's why we need another good GK.
Enrique is pretty decent backup. Didn't concede a goal last season

Im onto S2 of Mad Men and I'm not enjoying it as much as S1. Still very good though.
BOOM!!
Away shirt is awesome.
Remids me of one of Arsenals old away kits, I think. It's not ugly.

It's nice and all that they do things for the "special kids" but surely having them in the shirt photoshoots is a bit too much? Away shirt looks good, home is a bit boring.

Vertonghen: "The situation is not as I expected. Of course I'm happy with the guys here and the feeling with Ajax is still good. But being here gives me double feelings. Staying at Ajax would feel as a slap in the face. Everybody said that I'm ready for the next step. Right now it's a case between the clubs and agents. That [a full pre-season season at Tottenham] is still possible. They will have their first training session on Monday. I've had no contact yet with the new coach. But with my head I'm still at Ajax. I'm the captain, I won't be a rebel."
Has to be pretty painful given how the deal looked to be done a couple of weeks ago. He's just itching to get a run out at that new training facility.
I remember a few months ago a statement from Cadena SER about Mourinho saying Zidane wasn't doing anything as sporting director, that he wasn't "bad" enough - that Mourinho needed someone to do more dirty work for him.
I was always under the impression that when Zidane was going to start coaching, that it would be with the Castilla, not sure if coaching France as his first position is a good decision for him though.
Do you mean the 2005-2006 Arsenal home kit?
Premier League should enforce this. Home should be 2 seasons minimum, with one new away kit each season (with previous away kit becoming 3rd)
BOOM!!
Away shirt is awesome.
What is going on here? Is the wall photoshopped or is it just Noel photoshopped in? It's so.. weird looking. :lol
I'm leaning towards the wall itself being the photoshop.

Rodgers on Sigurdsson: "He wasn't playing at Hoffenheim, I brought him to Swansea and he did very well for me there, scoring seven goals in 19 games and was very good. He and I both sat and spoke and believed that playing football was going to be the most important aspect for him. But obviously it was important financially so we agreed a deal for him to go to Swansea and that was wrapped up. I then became the Liverpool manager and that then wasn't something that was going to happen at Swansea so he then had a choice of where he wanted to go. I knew what the market was and I wasn't prepared to pay anything over what I had known was agreed before. Liverpool would have provided Gylfi with a wonderful opportunity to perform with a manager that he knows and at a club which is a real footballing institution. But he's decided to go to Tottenham, for whatever reason. I wish him the best, he's a good kid and there's no ill feeling. We've got other targets and we'll move on."
Gutted for Verratti. I know you are too, Yurt. Let it all out, my man. I suppose we could've handled the whole affair better, on the other hand though ... 14M€ + 1,4M€ salary is crazy money for a Serie B player with one good season on his résumé and Zeman as coach.
I'd like to take this opportunity to wish Pescara a safe return to Serie C.
EDIT: Not a done deal yet, apparently. C'mon Beppe, you can do it. LOAN POWEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!!! CO-OWNERSHIP ATTACKKKKKK!!!!!

Carvajal, a Castilla defender, is going to sign with Leverkusen.
I hope we can get him back in a few years. He has an incredible potential.

Congrats. Enjoyed the fans a lot yesterday, refreshing to see a bunch of maniacs with fireworks after the euros.
Where's that club world cup played at?

That's fair enough really. Would have loved to have him, but Spurs are a fantastic club and it's not hard to see why it's an attractive option beyond the wages.
Rodgers handling of the media and how he comes across in interviews is such a breath of fresh air.
Was thinking of raising that point earlier, immediately after watching that interview on the website. He's got a real way with words, which is a breath of fresh air after Kenny's repeated 'desire and commitment' lines and Rafa's often garbled nonsense. Although I did love Rafa's random outbursts, his priest in a mountain of sugar one especially.
After the series I hope you'll agree with me that the language is fucking cool. I said something about that here and got ridiculed. Probably by Wooden the JT.

When it comes to dealing with the media, Rafa had a bit of a love/hate relationship with them, but I preferred that to Kenny looking and acting like he was on the verge of a mass muder/suicide whenever he was interviewed or asked any kind of question which even slightly criticised us. We'll see how it goes with Rodgers when the pressure is really on, seems promising so far though

And to think that it was basically a done deal. 5M + Buoy co-ownership. Unfortunately Buoy decliend the co-ownership and Pescara wasn't keen on valorizing a loaned player. I think I'll just go on and blame Raiola, Buoy's agent, if we lose Verratti to PSG.
Inter home and away kit
Nice Nike kits? wut
She shook her head for a while, "what is the tribal thing for? It's like they got a really bad tattoo design and shoved it on the sleeves."
She doesn't hate all football kits, she actually likes the France home and away and she really liked the previous France away shirt, the white one with the thin stripes going across.
Has he done any interviews other than to LFC? Talksport had a chat with him, but seen nothing wrong with that. No need to have a battle with the media if you don't need to. Rafa and Kenny got wrapped up in all that.

I don't mind our language that much. Just most danish tv shows with the exception of Riget, now that's some fantastic stuff. Just look at the cute baby someone had it it

The thing is, we need a mid-point. Rafa nearly struck the balance in press conferences (certainly not articles,) and it remains to be seen if Rodgers actually manages it. In the grand scheme of things, the media should be fuck all, but in reality they have a lot of infleunce in terms of the way supporters 'think,' and therefore the actions that the ownership take.
I don't want somebody miserable and, tbh, disrespectful like Kenny was last season, not least because it puts their own job in jeapordy. Then again, I don't want our manager to have a backslapping relationship with the media like Redknapp does.
More managers need to pull the media up on their bullshit
