This is great:
That is Levante's position
It was so awesome watching them get that high last season. Sometimes they were 4thYou already have top players...
Aguero, Balotelli, Tevez, Kompany, Lescott, Yaya Toure, David "Mancrush" Silva...
Jesus
you don't need anyone. lol
Savic.
oh Alice, you so wicked
Bad news for Bayern. Alaba (and Rafinha) have been injured yesterday and will be out for a couple of weeks. Stupid Napoli!
First you kill our god-tier Schweinsteiger, now Austrian-tier Alaba?
I hope Valdes gets benched.
I love Pinto but if there is a bigger prick than Valdes its Pinto.
Edit: Also Valdes is a MUCH better keeper for Barcelona's style.

Im going to try to win Valdes spot, Im ambitious.Im not sure Victor is aware of the threat I pose. FC Barcelona reserve goalkeeper Manuel Pinto in a press conference on Thursday.
No please Pinto, tell us more.
Isnt Pinto like 35, 36?
....lol
He is 36
But Valdes cost you important games
Don't think Pep was very pleased.
His good games far outweigh the bad. The only one I would blame him for was the Madrid game in the nou camp last season.

ONE HOUR TIL JAPAN MEXICO FUCK YEAH
moé~
I don't know if I can call any of these pre-season friendlies "good" but:
Newcastle vs Fenerbahce in 5 hours.
Ajax Cape Town vs Man United in 1 hour.
Ajax vs Celtic in 5 hours.
Welcome!
A Benfica fan here, been a long time lurker of this thread, this will be my first season of posting.
Welcome.
Ridiculously excited about our friendly tonight despite knowing its going to be shit.
It's interesting to read about our owners' expectations for the season. They're giving Rodgers time to plan for the future. They know we might not actually make it to the CL, seeing how far behind we actually are. It gives us some stability. We've had too many manager swaps and that never ends well. It's good to know that he can work under a little less pressure. He might have been successful at previous clubs, but this is a step up in his career, and not piling on the pressure, he might do ok.
On the other hand, I wonder what message this sends to the players? Some of them want to play in the best competitions, and they know they're good enough to do so. Would it then not be more appealing to go to a club that has performed better than us the last seasons?
City want Skrtel, Barca want Agger, Juve in for Suarez, Reina's future at the club isn't 100% either. I know these are rumours, but IF they left, can we sign players of the same quality? I hope so.

I think moving away from the Premier League hurt his footballing persona, even if it boosted his celebrity one. Sure, being part of the Galacticos was a sign of his immense quality, but us English folk tend to devalue footballers who don't play in the PL. I think not being able to watch him week in, week out, for the best part and parts of his career damaged how we understand him as a footballer, and thus his celebrity persona takes centre stage.
Kind of like how no regular football fans in England/Ireland knew who Sergio Agueroooooooooooo was until he started playing for Man City then he became hot shit to everyone. I assume the same would happen for Hulk/Cavani/Falcao
Yeah, in fact, I'm really worried about our next season. Let's see what JJ will come up with this time.
Pretty much. Just seen the highlights of the GB match last night and it's unbelievable how much better that Brazil squad is. The likes of them, Uruguay, and a half decent Spain side will make the Olympics entertaining.
Oscar looked good, as did that Lucas Moura when he came on.
Was funny how it was Richards who made the horrendous mistake that led to Brazil's second, considering the collective tears from the English public when he wasn't selected for the Euros.
Needs some more cardio anyways and its a friendly
The away one or home? Either way try em both and let me know how they are. Last years kit wasn't as soft as the 2010 kit.

The away one. I found the new home one is very rough material on the skin. Not a huge fan considering the nike Euro kits were so soft and so are Barcelona's this season (thank fuck). Last seasons Barca home kit was torture.

RVP AND Suarez? LOL BBC.
Looks like we're moving towards Jojo. Can't say that's necessarily a bad thing. 22 years old, relatively low salary, still growing. I'm wondering if we can't transform him into something of a false 9 up front. He has the pace and dribbling. Could play a lot like Giuseppe Rossi does, I imagine.

Any links to the Man Utd game?
It's a awesome GIF made by our own Sunhi.
I love Hart and Clichy. Even when they are hugging you can see Hart squeeze him even tighter.

Did you pick up the season pass? I finished E2 last week and... well, it certainly 'goes places', that's for sure.
