Thanks. I'll watch the Tennis in the background, which really puts into perspective how much I enjoy Tennis.

In fairness, it was against Preston.

Columbus Crew midfielder Kirk Urso died. There are no details right now. He was 22 and it was his first year as a professional player. Football has been a tragic thing recently.
You can't really replace someone like Del Piero, he'll be missed both for his contributions on the pitch and his carisma. As for the team, well, Marotta signed some pretty great players to complete an already rock-solid XI. Asamoah, Isla and Giovinco, but also Lucio and Pogba, along with some other promising youngsters (Masi, Boayke). Dat midfield depth. All we need now is a top striker and maybe, just maybe we could make it out of the CL groups. Leandro Damiao ftw.

So it seems the CBF have refused Lucas permission to leave the camp for a medical.
That's good, cos it means he is due to have one, right?

Sounds like it's a matter of when, not if.
Sounds like it.
(Even if this was not heart related) I think there needs to be mandatory heart screening for footballers (and all athletes). They do it in a poxy sport like gaelic football, so should be able to do it for football.
edit: oh god, I've got buyers remorse and I haven't even bought the damn thing yet.

That sounds interesting. Damiao (who I've seen live twice over the last week) is really good. Seems to have a genuine enthusiasm for the game as well, given his celebrations. Also quite effective with his head, and big...all in all, should work. Any idea how much he'd cost you?
Also, Arnie, true...even Billy Paynter scored against them. Warnock-ball coming to the fore yesterday, all three goals scored by defenders (well, white is playing on the wing quite often).
Where did you hear this?

Jon Cotterill a journalist from Sao Paolo is saying its on their official website.
App the report also says there hasn't been an official request yet...but still a promising sign I think.
Lots of people are reporting this now including people who tend to get things right, unlike Cass, so I'm pretty confident it's just a matter of time now.
You see what he tweeted to Rooney yday?Oh man Ashley Cole is trolling Arsenal fans

Isn't there already some sort of screening done?
No idea, a few months back the rumors were 30m€, which is absurdly high. We seem to be after everybody anyway. RVP, Dzeko, Jovetic, Pazzini, Cardozo, etc., if you believe the press. I'm sure we'll sign somebody, but it may not end up being the striker we need or deserve. Such is life.
At medicals, probably. But lower leagues and amateurs, I'd doubt it. This was just in my head as Salazar said one of his teammates/someone in his league had a heart attack last week.

To be there are some Arsenal fans constantly having a go at him at the way he left Arsenal. His tweets are often in response to that

Him and Nasri come across a bit silly at times but their moves are now justified. Coles has been for years.
Arsenal fans are like no other the way they hold grudges.

I only use ebay to buy books from "worldofbooks08" so I have never felt defeat like this.
Oh well, shall wait to Christmas and just buy one from the shop, rather than torture myself over bargains. I knew I shouldn't have told Zabo about this.

From the outside looking in with no real interest, it always seems like South American competition formatting is all kinds of fucked up
Nasri has yet to justify his move as he was shite for much of last season.
Citys success doesn't have much to do with him.

Pfft, we have that on lockdown.
Owen, McMananaman, Souness, Whelan, Lawresonson, Torres, even Gerrard and Alonso are disliked by a range of fans
What's going on with Nani? If you guys don't want him anymore, we'll take him.
I love listening to the British/Scottish commentary combo. Scottish accent is amazing and for some reason I always find myself counting the number of times they pronounce "..., isn't he?".
hope he'll sign a contract, wants a pay rise.
We're really going to miss Scholes when he retires again

How's Vidic looking guys? I'm so scared he won't get back to his level.
I'm not watching cos I'm busy watching Murray take Federer apart.

Murray is doing amazing!
Won everything that's come his way. Which isn't exactly that much.
pretty good, a little slow but that probably due to lack of play time
you've jinxed it
It's like he was never injured. Winning absolutely everything, blocking shots, I love it how he's the one to go win a header and just lets Rio sit back and do his thing.
