what happened to löw? he looks like he aged 20 years in just 2 days?
Too many cigarettes

He´s having a bad face day. It happens.
Haha unintentional I swear! I'll remove it.

He watched Italy - England.
Sagna of 18 months ago? No doubt. Of course he is missed because the back-ups at Arsenal are utter toilet, but the Sagna of last season was below his usual standards. He was playing like Clichy, giving his man space to whip crosses in and not pressing the ball adequately.
Thanks for this!
Santon has the potential in a couple years.
Monaco has offered us a pre-season friendly. "Friendly" my arse. Lets get revenge for the UEFA cup game from the 90s!
That's probably right, can't compete with a history like that.
Yeah, Spurs can't compete with history. He should go Nottingham Forest.

Forget history, Ben Smith says Spurs offered a third more than Liverpool. He is gone.
Crisps and a drink.

Surprised to see Villa so high up.
Not entirely sure how much players really care about club history (unless that success it extends into the present of course).
Man, it'd be hilarious if he is found not guilty. Dat salt.
This was the point I was making haha, I wasn't taking the piss out of Spurs
Just woken up, seen Spurs have offered more, great deal for them. Not distraught though, I don't want to start offering ridiculous wages to 22 year olds, and if Spurs want to start offering a third more then that's their business. We've been shafted by wages in the past so I'm glad we're being prudent here, even if it does mean we're missing out on a great talent.
In other news my beard trimmer from Amazon arrived, about to give this bad boy a go, looking a bit trampish at the moment.

No, it would be unjust.
What would be hilarious is if someone whose wife he has shagged kicked his teeth in.
Post 2006 buys: Andrade 10m Almiron 8m Poulsen 10m Tiago 13m Diego 25m Melo 25m Martinez 12m =
103m
Mostly this guy..
I'm thinking 1.5 mm. Might take this puppy to my pubic region later, it's really versatile.
He's a great poacher and I'm sure him and Rodgers get on swimmingly, but as was reiterated with the Sigurdsson deal, relationships aren't everything. He was signed by Roma a couple of days ago.
Where did I say that? I said we should wait and see what happens and not make assumptions. We have no idea what the guy knows and doesn't know, no idea of who he may have as contacts for information, etc.
Same, if we keep hold of Carroll I can't see us wanting or needing Traore.

Harsh to say Szczesny is gaf-prone. He won us alot more points than he lost last season. Experienced backup in any position is a plus, but there are few better young GKs around.
Santos and Gibbs split opinion. I've got no worries about the two, personally. Santos is shocking tactically but when faced up against a winger he's very reliable. Gibbs is very key to our possession play and offers a useful outlet. Solid in the air too. Gibbs and Sagna returning coincided with an immediate return to form last season also (before Arteta got injured).
Mertesacker is in line to really challenge Vermaelen for his spot imo. Not a bad year all round by any stretch. Definitely not horrendous.
Djourou and definitely Squillaci won't be Arsenal players next season. The latter is close to a free transfer to Bastia and Djourou's been told to look for another club. A new CB should come in with their departures.
Our problem lies with the protection of our defence which Arsene seems to want to rectify (linked to M'Vila, Biglia and a host of other DMs who block passing channels). Any back four as exposed as ours often is would concede plenty of goals.
He's good. Would take him gladly, but there was just a blind auction between Parma and Roma, and Roma won. If Parma had one, they probably would have sold him on to us, but Roma won and he's apparently happy to stay there, them wanting to keep him as well.
He is. He thought (and probably still thinks) that Poulsen is better than Xabi Alonso.

What can Feyenoord and Eresdivisie followers tell me about our (possible) new signing Karim El Ahmadi?
I saw bud mention that he's brilliant. I think that's a good sign

Oh right. He's in the Euro 2012 squad I think. Wonder why he doesn't get a crack at goal.

Yeah, I bet clubs are lining up to steal him away.
Innocent until proven guilty. Which he most likely will be, but whatever.
Also Borini: talented player, was disappointed when we let him go.
Ok, I'm just saying, I would doubt a gaelic football reporter is privvy to transfer deals involving Uruguayans at Bologna.
If he does know anything, it would be on the Liverpool side of the deal most likely.

Well it wouldn't be the first time an Italian club buys someone just to either loan them out or re sell them a week or two later. Parma were probably dumb enough to have some small ass agreed fee in the loan contract, so it would only make sense for Roma to trigger it.
Edit : Oh, see they already owned his 50% and blind auctioned the other 50.

Reports from Corriere dello Sport that Inter Milan are in talks with Manchester City over signing Nigel de Jong.
They probably need another DM.
They probably need another DM.
I was being pedantic. I also doubt that Sky Italia or Gazetta del whatever are the most reliable sources of transfer news.
At least 15m is what I'd wager but I imagine they're happy to keep him for the time being at least.
Neither are SSN or 99% of the other sources quoted here and elsewhere but they're still quoted. It's the transfer window, things get silly.

Sigurdsson transfer turning into a saga. The move to #LFC looked a certainty 2 wks ago. Now Spurs favourites? Still think that could change.
Gylfi's dad says he's currently undecided so I'm going with that and I'll wait and see what happens.
Think we're being linked with Marco Pappa. He looks quality.

Well, it works. I don't have much prior experience with trimmers but it's just done the trick for me; I can now have that fresh stubble look every day. This is the one I bought.
He does. I'll give Newcastle some credit, their scouting team seems to have their head in the game when it comes to players, even if they don't always get them.
EDIT: That Lime Green kit is ew.
