Playing is so good! Been playing 5 a side for like 18 months now, I love it!
One assumes so. Everything just says banned banned banned.
Tottenham will always be our biggest rivals. That said, most fans would rather give up RVP to City than strengthen Ferguson's squad. The past four years won't erase the 10 before it.
One of those "reliable" twitter profiles says it has "exclusive news" on the deal at 12 BST. Take it with a grain of salt.
Yep I look forward to it every week.
Would love to play an 11 a side game but it's usually quite hard to find that many people to play with.

20 even. The Arsenal - Utd rivalry really kicked off in 1990. That said, I would shun City also.
This Conte thing doesn't help though.
Yeah, basically. I'm reading through the sentence document. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe ..."
You're not our biggest rival but you're a threat to us achieving our goals. Despite United fans looking down and considering us beneath their club with their arrogance we too want to be champions of the premier league, fa cup, champions league etc... and to that end United are in the way and therefore are considered a rival and our best players should not be sold to them for this reason.
It's not arrogance that puts Arsenal below United. It's United's domination of English football in the Premier League era.
Granted, every season starts with something of a blank-slate atmosphere. And Arsenal have strengthened.
But you'd think there was a delicate equilibrium between the two clubs.

Cant even beat his man, pft. I've seen Puyol with more tekkers
Valencia stood him up so cleanly that he probably had time to swerve quite wide.

Should have been 10 years.
Fry, you hero.
If you are going by titles won during the Premier League era then United wouldn't have any rivals on par but the definition of rivals we are using different. Tottenham will always be our biggest rivals not because of the tables but the geography and history. United are big ones as well with the rivalry that the two clubs have had for the majority of the Premier League era.
Most United fans wouldn't say Liverpool aren't their rivals just because of their lack of domestic success in recent years.
You need to understand though that many Arsenal fans enjoyed the invincible era and badly want that success again. United are a big obstacle to us achieving that, therefore have to be considered a rival, no matter how you slice it. Selling our best players to any of the top sides is dumb, no matter how it's reasoned. It strengthens a team we need to beat. Simple as that.
Arsenal have finished 2nd and 3rd countless times, but that's not good enough for the fans, as we want to be 1st. Which club has been the biggest obstacle? How anyone can say not a rival is beyond me... And Arsenal's management seem to agree with how they are playing hardball on this transfer.
Would you be okay if Nani was sold to us?
Pre draw europa league (every seeded faces one unseeded from that group):
Please let us face someone that isn't Anzhi. Don't want to be up against Eto'o.
I'd be annoyed if he were sold to any English club. I don't think the acquisition of individual players makes a critical difference in any but a select and infrequent number of cases. I don't think Nani is that kind of player, and despite a supreme season, I don't think RVP is either.
My dislike for Arsenal has cooled largely because they cleaned themselves up - and there was a period, under Wenger, when Arsenal were a dirty side.

Conte should be banned for life, no room in the game for cheats.
You're aware he wasn't cheating?
It obviously won't change your mind, but you should at least know he's not even accused of cheating.
Still reading the document, will try to sum it all up later today. All I can say for now is that with Giulia Bongiorno (lawyer) on board and the sheer ridiculousness of the sentence's motivation, Conte could very well be cleared after three (I think) levels of appeal. Or at the very least see the sentence greatly reduced.
So happy for SP7 and Bonucci. Let it all out tomorrow vs. Napoli, boys!
Agreed.

I wasn't being serious
or was I?
lol. How petulant Bobby
Your post was lacking in comedy. If you'd said he should be executed or made to manage Inter I would have fallen for it.
Hahaha
Just checking up, didn't realise his goalscoring record at Anzhi was so prolific.

Just woke up.. and watched the game again. Was quite impressed with Borini's goal - looked like he'd just put his foot through it from where we were (row 66..), so I was quite surprised to see it was a snappy little volley. Yeah Arnie, you really should have got in on those tickets. We ended up paying £12 each! Parking is the fucking worst, however.
Belatedly weighing in on the Vita... I somehow managed to pick one up at launch. Speaking purely from my personal experience with it, I'm pretty happy with it. I'm at my girlfriend's house quite often and they only have one telly (bloody savages) so it's perfect for me if I don't feel like watching Chop Socky Chooks or whatever the fuck kids watch today. Being able to sit at home and play through MGS2 then carry on my game at hers is pretty awesome, and it's a shame that devs aren't really doubling down on that aspect. Anyways, even if the console somehow works out for my lifestyle, the Vita post-launch has been a complete and utter car crash the world over, and it takes a special kind of company like Sony to do that as well as they have.
Oh, and check out the Dark Souls PC thread. Meltdowns ahoy!

Ståle wants promotion the first season, can't sell all your best players then.
I'm sure if Stale's so good he could have a team full of Danish no hopers and some stupid haired Dame Noddy and still win

Flecther is god in FM. I always sign him when playing a mid-table Premier League team.

We have £0 debt, so we dont need to sell, they all have years left on their contracts so IF they go then they will be going for what the club value them at, think our valuation is £15m for Fletcher and arounf £12m for Jarvis or something like that
I can understand them holding onto the players if that's their valuation, I'm not knocking Wolves for it... but £15m for Fletcher is quite high. He's a goal scorer I suppose.
Has Jarvis handed in a transfer request?

Nah hes not handed one in yet, if he does then i reckon the club will just reject it like it looks like theyve done with Fletchers.

Our manager is saying plz no Fener. Not sure why but some of our players are saying they want Gladbach... Ugh. I'm hoping for Malaga and that they by the time we play them have sold half their team and are in shambles.

Spartak Moscow says they don't care who they face. I guess if you're gonna lose 10-3 anyway then it doesn't matter who the opponent will be. But yeah I agree, I think Malaga should be the preferred opponent for everyone.
