It is and it isn't. The other part is full of artsy hipsters, big business, sports (Football/baseball) and decent local cuisine. It's a city deep in US history and it's not nearly as bad off as a number of US cities I've been to.

Who, Ba? Wouldn't want to take a chance on such a volatile player. I'm an anxious man as it is, let alone when our star striker's knee is held together by plastic explosives.

Some quotes from a media event...
Tony Parks: "We're always looking to improve. Brad 41, Carlo 39. Hugo Lloris is a contender. Watched him since 16. I like him. Has the talent."
Tony Parks: "Gareth Bale wants to lose the no 3 shirt. Doesn't want no. 9 it was just the only number free on tour. All will be revealed."
Freund on Sig: "Fantastic ability, you'll be surprised by his talent."

Think about it. He'll cost less than all your 10+ million pound superstars.
Bale should prise the '7' shirt off Lennon.
Don't think anyone will be surprised by Gylfi though, at this point everyone knows how good a player he is. Still gutted we missed out on him to be honest, our attacking options still seem really light. I want a quick resolve to this Carroll fiasco first and foremost, so we know where we stand going forward. We've replaced Dirk in Borini, should replace Maxi in Dempsey, but we're still a striker short in my mind because either one or both of Bellamy and Carroll will move on.

But his knee's made of meccano.

I guess tripling his wages was a good help for N'Doye deciding on leaving... But still, fuck me, if I was black I would not want to go to Lokomotiv Moscow of all places. But guess it's all about the money at that point, having a large family back at Senegal you want secured for the rest of your life and everything.

Why is Bellamy potentially leaving Liverpool?
Only 3 weeks till the start of the season and most clubs are yet to do important pieces of business.
I'd say Chelsea have done the best so far, in terms of getting in what they need. Not sure about all of the clubs lower down the league but it seems like Villa, Newcastle, Sunderland, Everton (lol) are all yet to make moves too.
Should be a busy few weeks now.

Fuck me, that's horrendous.
You should all watch this video, it's not Liverpool centric.

There was word of him not settling and wanting to either go to QPR or back to Cardiff. I've got a feeling a lot of his desire to return was down to Kenny.
Forgot about this, made me wiki Odemwingie and I was surprised to learn he was born in the Soviet Union
QPR have done quite well too IMO. Signed 6 or 7 players. Off the top of my head they signed: Park, Fabio, Hoilett. Everton were close to signing Pienaar, which would be pretty good for them.

I still have no idea why Loko even got N'Doye. They already have Pavlyuchenko, Caicedo, Obinna and Sytchev. Pav and Caicedo even look like they have some nice chemistry going. Oh well, watching competitors make dumb decisions is almost more enjoyable that your own team's success.
I know there was some discussion about Yaya's wages earlier.. The Independent ran a story on City's bonuses from last year today and they suggest he's on £220k per week. It's always some different number, hah.

No ones got a clue anyway so we might as well just go with the numbers that suit our arguments.

Carroll leaving 
Recouping possibly £19m for him
Suso probably staying
Also, just a reminder to people that there are spaces in the paid fantasy league. While I'm on the subject, are you still in Wilbury, Snoopen and Keio?

I think Rodgers has handled the Carroll thing fairly poorly so far to be honest. God knows how the player must feel right about now.

Think I'm gonna have to sit it out for now, sorry!
Don't think so. They're still very much cashing in, not cashing out. I'm sure they're gradually giving more and more thought to an exit, but they're sufficiently powerful and bloodyminded to wait and try their best to do it all on their terms.
Nope.
From what i gather.(I might be wrong)
If it is successful the debt will be reduced by a small amount and the GLazers pocket will be filled with money so they are less likely to leave and they will still have full control regarding the decisions related to working of the club.
If it fails Glazer would have no choice but to sell i believe.
Alex Morgan i believe.

Europe's top five* leagues - chances created 2006-11: 1. Cesc - 466, 2. Xavi - 455, 3. Lampard - 452
Lampard, my god. What a player!
lol Charlie Adam's agent is called Kenny Moyes
This is what happens when you finish outside the top 4 for 3 years in a row. Top players want to play at the top level, no matter how much they 'love' their current club. Despite what Gerrard says, I doubt many of the Liverpool squad expect to be in that top 4 next season.

lol at the idea that Charlie is everyone's mate.
That's not at all what I'm on about. I can't really blame him if we don't deliver (improve) next season. It's the City link I'm worried about. I rather see him go to Real Madrid or Barcelona if he wants to leave this Summer.
Cesc was a damn good player for us. A bit of a shame his talents aren't even being put to full use in Barcelona; that's how fucking stacked that midfield is, I guess. Bigger shame is the ridiculously low transfer fee. goddamn it Arsene!!!
Cesc should get a lot of playtime this season as Xavi is getting old and getting injured quite often.

Got Sky News on in the background. I heard something about 600 million and thought it was related to United. Turns out there's a power cut in India. Up to 600 million people without power. 600 million!
Yeah approximately 19 states in the North have been hit by power cuts. Luckily no power cut in Bombay yet. 19 out of 28 states in all.
Whats funny is they still havent announced the reason for this.
