Good luck with that. Doesn't seem to be working for Krasic.
I assume we figure we can invest his £125k a week wages better elsewhere.

And all the bored billionaires buying their way to the championship certainly hasn't helped you guys over the years.
Dylan was 70 quid when I saw him but worth every penny
I don't think Marotta is capable of pulling this. We'll get Pazzini, Bocchetti (who's going to get banned too), and spend what's left on Armero.
I'm trying something here

I didn't think Bocchetti was also implicated. The fuck?
I know, although I have my doubts about Dylan cause of the mainly poor reviews on his latest gigs overhere in The Netherlands. But I'm willing to pay the price for those guys, nine out of ten times they really deliver. Really looking forward to the Leonard Cohen gig in august. Old whispering man.

Fix'd.
Yeah I need to see Cohen, waiting for him to come London again
The thing with Dylan is his voice is a mess and he sings songs completely differently to how they're recorded, but if you're a huge fan it's worth it because a) seeing him and b) hearing new versions of the songs
Edit: who is playing for Norwich? Lambert was a big rotator but not sure how the new manager is
You guys still in for Anita? Graham Carr is watching him at the Norwich game atm.
He's an asshole
Ajax is playing Norwich. I was just curious if they're playing with the strongest eleven to set our performance in perspective
They haven't really got a strongest eleven, which is odd. About 16 players that are a good core that get rotated a lot. Their best players are Whittaker, Fox, Pilkington, Holt and Morison
He played for 20 minutes before he got subbed. Frank de Boer trolling 'castle.
Yep they were pretty good under Paul Lambert certainly gave us a run for our money and almost City aswell until they crumbled.
The Lille manager said something about Debuchy only being allowed to play 30 minutes before being subbed. Is there a rule that they can't play for longer or something?
Personally I enjoyed watching them more than Swansea last season. I think Lambert's a real talent.
No I really don't know why he did it. Hope Anita isn't injured, didn't look like it though.

Women's Team GB play high level football. I reckon they'd give Lolerpool a run for their money. Lord knows GB has terrible finishing but, then, so does Liverpool. Anyone's game!

Was just about to say they were playing really well. They're not the best finishers but they're technically very good.
Both had some cracking games. Swansea v Arsenal was a real corker.
Do you think Lambert will do well at Villa? Is Collins and Dunne leaving?

The cross into the box then the one touch pass back to the edge was nice. In the build up to the goal, the side step was very sexy. Also, the defenders have made some really solid tackles. Amazing!
How does the groups work here. I'm hearing third place teams in the group also qualify? Is that right?
Edit: Mastadon, sell us Suarez and we'll talk!

Don't let arnie see this.
Top 2 third place teams overall qualify.

Haha just saw that too, Yurt. VERY excited about Masi. I reckon he has the potential to be a starting defender for Juve in the next 5 years. Amazing ability to read the ball even at 19yo. Good with the ball, too. Made some really decent passes. He's like the best parts of Bonucci and Barzagli combined.
I think he'll do fantastically on his own terms but the PL is so competitive now; you have five teams going for the title, six teams going for the CL, Everton, Newcastle, Sunderland, Villa, Fulham, Stoke just underneath and going for the EL, then good Norwich and Swansea sides, a strengthened QPR, some strong promoted teams. It's just Wigan and WBA I can see struggling for sure this year.
Collins is defo off, not sure about Dunne.
You cannot stay away from raw animal magnetism
Not even arsed, I'm catatonic after that Tikka Masala.

Rovers made a bid for Rhodes, never happen mind
Would be a good buy, I think he'd eat up the Championship
I am a believer. I know its just pre season but he has Villa playing COMPLETELY different style wise. I mean...we have been dominating possession with attractive passing football.
I dont think my system can take it.
Agree with this. I will be happy if we stay up but play some pleasing football. Next season is going to be BRUTAL for every team outside of the top six I think. Very competitive.
Is it bad that I'm still laughing at Leon Best's injury?

I don't think Aquilani should be asking for the £5m. Liverpool have been paying him £100k a week for the last few years as it is. Im not convinced he is desperate to stay and it seems he's happy to move elsewhere, well then leave and get on with your career.
Like I said I doubt we were ever in for him in the first place. Agents/clubs love to play the "Sunderland/Newcastle interested in Newcastle/Sunderland target" spiel.
MO' MONEY
Dude I swear I am not high. Its true! From Hoof & hope to Villacelona in the space of a month. Lordy lordy help me.
We will see how his system works against PL opposition of course, but right now. Let me dream
