Just got back from France and I see language is being tidied up. Can't say I really care. Never really liked using words like "cunt" in the typical English fashion. Oh well, moving on.
Not sure why we're being linked with Armero unless Conte is looking to make 3-5-2 our default formation. Makes sense since we're stocking up on loads of midfielders and getting rid of our exclusively offensive minded wingers (Krasic, Elia). Still, we're looking at having upwards of 8 midfielders, of which 5 are arguably worthy of our starting 11. Wondering how that's going to work.
Also, I called that we were going to end up with Pazzini months ago after RVP, Cavani, and Dzeko collapsed. I'm just hoping it's not true. Still prefer Matri to Pazzini. Matri is far more mobile and able to create something from nothing. Pazzini is arguably better in the air, but we don't play like that anyways.

I see he closed his Twitter account too as a result.
Yeah. Don't think it's just the away kits that are shit, my friend. :lol

Boulahrouz considering a contract offer from Palermo, didn't realize he was only 30, feels like he has played for forever.

Had a weird dream last night that Wayne Rooney bought the house next to mine and moved in, then Gerrard and Gareth Barry walked out of it and down the street, whilst Barry was smoking a cigarette, then they started fighting with some kids whilst I video'd it on my iPhone :S

Nah guys. Juventus's home kit looks amazing and the away kit mostly so (sticker! argh!)

I also assumed he was near retirement, considering he didn't play during the last European Championship. I have no idea how his footy skills are these days, I lost track of him a while ago.

Code:
65 matches in 4 seasons isn't exactly impressive. But wiki said he started being a regular in his last season at Stuttgart and play well... and really anything will improve Palermos defense, so I say bring it on.
Haha nah, I did research and it's definitely the best on the market right now. It's so good I had to make the leap.
My plan is 12.50 a month (tesco). It's pretty cheap tbh. Are there no cheap options available there at all??
Well thats what happens when you hang out with an Assassin.

I may have now come to terms with supporting a mid-table team: now enthusiastically pinning my transfer window hopes on Liverpool signing Joe Allen.
Allen would (arguably?) improve our starting line-up - is this an indication that he's a tidy, always-busy mid attuned to the Rodgers style, who can neatly pass a ball and would help Lucas out markedly...or an indictment of our current midfield stocks, and a reflection of how far we've fallen?
Clause or no clause, get Joe.

He won Fan Player of the Season the year he left. I'd say that made him our star player (and Ashley Young).

Oh no you didn't.
Following in the steps of the mighty Obertan.
OFT... sort of.
I think Allen is a decent player, he's better than Adam, better suited to the league than Aquilani, and better than an injured Gerrard. I think the days of getting star studded names are over for us, at least for the time being anyways, until we can show any semblance of getting back into the top 4, which probably won't happen for another few years. Why would the likes of Jovetic, Cavani, Rodriguez, Ramirez choose to play here when they probably wont be playing European football for at least 2-3 years(Koptimistic). Unfortunately, I think Allen is our best bet giving our situation, so ya, get him.

Well at least Fergie is saying Kagawa will play up field. Also said Powell will be played in CM and be a part of the 1st team squad so I think that puts the chances of us signing a CM right down. Expect that one signing he is talking about is going to be a LB.

Are there any good iPhone apps that give you instant notifiers of football scores in the Notification Window or such?
What phone did you get btw?

Didn't we have an opportunity to get him but we turned it down because he wanted 50k a week?
Galaxy S3. At least he recommended that one to me.
Aha. Good call, the S3 is commonly accepted as the best Android phone for this moment.
After Borini he's all I want. For what it's worth thought I don't think we'll get him.
You just don't want to see me happy.
Sorry, morsel.
If things look up for me, I'll scrape together some magnanimity and humane fellow-feeling.
Before the season starts, inshallah.

I use the ESPN app, but I don't know if it is available in the UK, or at least in what form. Also, I think there is a FlashScores app, but I haven't used it. I thought you had a Windows phone though?

One of the broadsheets (Guardian or Telegraph can't remember) reckon he is going to be a smash hit. Might help to know Arsenal offered him a switch last year but he declined so I think he must have something about him. I (Arsenal supporter) will be watching his progress next season.
Still don't know what to make of the Powell signing but KAGAWA <3
ESPN app is good at this
I can't see Kagawa being anything other than class next season.
Just started final ep of Breaking Bad Season 4.
I should be asleep.
But I gotta see this.
Yar. It was Powell Arsenal wanted, tho.

Jeez all this talk of Breaking Bad. I might have to put Mad Men on the back burner just to see what all the fuss is about.
You're just in time then. Great episode. Can't wait till next monday (or sunday for Americans with AMC).
You might wanna do that.
