I thought getting a job, having money to go out and getting married would contribute to less fapping. Boy was i wrong.
This is our Portuguese idol presenter... my wife likes to see the show and i have an uncontrollable need to do stuff to this woman.
Looks like Georgie Thompson after getting breast implants, and halfway through a chemical gender change
Seems it is down to wages:

@Musker_LFC its the contract offer mates not the bid, #lfc thought everything was in hand but spurs have blown them out of the #water.
I'm confident that if Rodgers wants to sign him that badly, we'll match or beat Spurs' offer. It wouldn't be a very good sign to not back your new manager in the transfer market with his first signing, and someone he is, or was, obviously interested in signing. I think now it'll come down to whether Brendan thinks the wage increase is worth it, or whether he feels we can get better value elsewhere. That'll determine whether we up our contract offer or not, imo.

I'm going to post this here.
He's talking about Italy - Korea in 2002..

BBC reporting Sigurdsson to Spurs now.
I'm still not convinced it's true but it's gathering steam. We'll know by the end of the week.
EDIT: Guardian reporting it as well.

He's been one of their top players since he went there. Regular assists and a sprinkling of goals but this was at Championship level. We'll have to see how this pans out.
Obvious troll is obvious.

There is a lot of Korean delusion about the quality of their side. Italy was robbed. Spain was robbed.
Says the Korean. I'm a little optimistic that guys like Park Chu Young and Lee Chung Yong are an indication that the team is improving in skill, but we'll be piss poor in the back four forever.

Dunno why but i like her and her fake titties.
It´s a cruel twist of fate that i love titties but the women i will hopefully spend the rest of my life with doesn´t have much to show for hers. :|

I just bought a ''chmpoions of Europe'' top for my brother who is a Chelsea fan. Above it, it had a sign saying '' Remember: All the money will go straight to your favourite club''. I felt disgusted since I have contributed to the money that will buy Fellaini from us.
Anyway, I feel an Italian upset might be imminent this Thursday. Come on Azzuri!

Liverpool missing out on Sigurdsson is a bad miss for them. I'm not sure how great a player he is (though certainly he would be great for Liverpool and at least good for Spurs) but he is obviously somebody they really want and now they look like losing him.
Spurs must be offering a better contract deal to him and if it's above what Liverpool value him at...that's fair enough, but you have to wonder what Liverpool are willing to offer. Spurs don't pay massive wages, isn't their highest earner on something like £70k/week?
Anyhow, even with wages level I can see Sigurdsson choosing to go to Tottenham. They're quite well placed at the moment and probably have a good manager lined up. The club is showing forward thinking ambition and at least trying to back it up which I'm not sure Liverpool have done so far. Besides that Spurs are a better team and have shown that over the last few years.

I think it depends on how badly Rodgers wants him. As I said earlier, not backing your new manager in the transfer market would not be a good sign at all. I think if Rodgers wants him, we'll increase our contract offer. If he feels we can get better value elsewhere, we won't. If the offers are level, I think he'd choose us, but obviously I'm biased. I just think that the Rodgers connection and arguably a better chance of getting into the first team regularly would swing it for us if the wages were comparable.

I'm personally looking out for Kim Bo-Kyung, Son Heung-Min, and Ki Sung-Yueng.
I kind of trust Bild and SkySports more than some random icelandic guy on twitter.
Trust who you like, I'm just posting what I find. 99% of what's on Sky Sports *is* from Twitter anyway.
I'm writing something of a similar note now. Will post when I'm done.
If I say "Sigurdsson to join Shrewsbury" on twitter, will you post it here?
Don't have you on Twitter, so no.
If you don't like it, you know where the ignore button is. Use it.
He's a journalist for an Icelandic news paper. Not that I trust him on this issue.
And quite frankly I don't care. Gylfi for 8m would be a decent signing for us but I reckon we need other positions covered first.
You still have Joe Cole, don't be mad

Official finally.
But it looks like Wenger is said to be pissed off with Yann M'Vila's attitude durig the Euros and his reactions to being substuited and is considering pulling the plug on any deal for him.

The fuck? 8 million? That seems pretty low for his talent.

This whole transfer tug of war is pretty hilarious. I'm getting constant texts from a friend updating me on all twitter rumours (conveniently only the pro-Liverpool ones!). The only way this could get funnier is if City decide they want Sigurdsson and offer him £200k per week. Then Liverpool and Spurs can resume the fight to take him on loan next year.
Don't think FFP rules come into effect this season. Think it's next year, though I don't really see FIFA banning City, Man United, Liverpool or any other big club from European competitions.
It's a shite rule.

Yeah I remember Wenger wasn't impressed at all by M'Vila's reaction when he got subbed off against Spain. Lizarazu and him went about it for a while, total lack of respect from Yann, snubbed Laurent Blanc's handshake and started pouting/muttering.
Maybe Arsene is a bit reluctant to deal with classless French divas, can't blame him after what happened with Nasri. At least Giroud doesn't seem the type of guy who will throw a tantrum.
About Gylfi, I can easily see him join the Spurs over Liverpool for reasons that have been posted above. I don't think it's a killer blow though, there are other players out there who could do the same job fine. Just a bit worrying that Liverpool have a hard time attracting a player of his calibre.
I'm chuffed to bits about Giroud signing, he's a top quality striker with physical attribute of a giant.
I'm also of an opinion that Chamakh could have been a massive hit in this league if he played for a team who suited his style and had him face the right way and crossed the ball into the box more often than not. And that brings me squarely back to Giroud, I'm afraid he will end up the same if Arsène is planning to take out his fangs and make him face the wrong way.

I think football as a sport would come out better if a wage and transfer cap was implemented. At least it would allow for more competitive European tournaments.
In theory, it seems to being at least some effect on City's moves thus far. I'm not sure if whether or not it's FFP itself or just a desire to get closer to profitability in general.
It looks like James Wallace have joined Tranmere Rovers for an undeiscloesd fee. It seems there is a mini-revolution going on at Everton. We seem to be getting rid of players that have been lauded in the past (Forshaw, Wallace). Maybe there is some new strategy at place. Hopefully this means that we can get rid of players because of the wage reasons and sign Pianaar on a permenant deal. Also, I wouldn't mind a creative midfielder.
Decent signing if it goes through.

In Bundesliga news, our first match will be against Werder Bremen. Bayern will get free 3 points to start off the season and Gladbach fans are (rightfully!) pretty damn angry because their second match is against their big rival Düsseldorf who was punished to play that match without fans after the relegation drama.
In funny news:
In season 10/11 we played against Nürnberg on matchday 32, we bought Gündogan.
In season 11/12 we played against Gladbach on matchday 32, we bought Reus.
In season 12/13 we'll play against Bayern on matchday 32, we'll buy ???

Fixtures are horrible for us also. Tottenham then Chelsea. TROLOLOL.
We had horrible end of season fixtures and now we have horrible season opener fixtures. Why do the PL gods hate us?

Whatever happened to Baxter? He was supposed to be the next big thing at Everton for a while.
Speaking of, I always laugh my tits off when I see my cousin in his Everton shirt with 'Barkley' on the back.
