Man AVB is really making them play a suuuuuuuuuuuuper high line. The Galaxy have already had a couple of 1-on-1 moves because of that.

Gonna try the PES demo. Strongly considering not getting FIFA this year as 12 pissed me off so much. I'm convinced when playing head to head online games that the game pretty much decides who it wants to win and then that person gets all the luck. I swear, there are games were every loose ball rolls to your opponents feet and their keeper save everything. Then next game you're playing like crap but getting all the luck and scoring scabby goals you don't deserve.
Sounds irrational, but I believe.

Defence doesn't look great so far!
Rafa looks tired from sitting on his arse all summer.
edit: Rafa now injured after sitting on his arse all summer.

Bannan almost scored a beautiful 30 yard shot but the keeper made a nice save
GOAL! Ciaran Clark from a Barry Bannan corner!!!!

Just realised we signed Hazards younger brother today. Nice. Wonder what he's like.

We're passing well, and pressuring well. Don't look great up front without Bent, and I don't know if Delfounseo can cut it. And yes, I know we are playing Portland.
Hate to say it, but Warnock doesn't look terrible. Still can't cross worth shit though.

Poor AVB, I hoped he'd learn something and go on to do well. Then I heard he was going to Spurs and that sentiment went down the drain. So this sounds like a good sign.
It's pre-season though. Teams need time to adjust.
edit: Was Robbie Keane just grabbing someone's balls there?? Wtf?
Spot on. I was the only guy in my stand who cheered when we scored
Fun game so far . I worry about us vs pl opposition right now though. Still a bit ragged.

What do you think of our formation? It looks like Holman is playing the 10 role, with Ireland KEA, and Bannan playing farther back. I think both Bannan and Ireland are playing too far back. Although, tbf,Portland is playing extremely defensively.
Whipped in a good ball for Bale's goal. He has that uncanny ability to pick out the perfect ball at just the right time. Other than that he hasn't had the ball much at all, but that's kind of the player he is. Doesn't show up all the time but when he does it's for a goal.
I like it. I amazed how forward lambert has us playing our full backs.
Holmans a bit a at sea thus game do for IMHO.
Post more later lads back on.

I noticed that about the FBs as well. We can talk tomorrow enjoy the rest of the game!

Bannan was phenomenal again. N'Zogbia looked real strong in his appearance, and Lichaj struggled when he first came on but finished strong. I'm excited about Lowton as well.
Ref made some weird calls, but we looked good. The Timbers second goal was a pretty lucky deflection and apparently now the game goes directly into PKs.

Just got back, gonna crash (very drunk). Was a fun game though. I was stuck in the timbers section, I would like to thank them, they are awesome fans.
In retrospect , me screaming "wheres your fucking chainsaw now???" was a little bit overboard for a friendly. What can I say I got carried away

Jacking up the price for Joao Allen, perhaps.
In for Allen. Objectively, there aren't many reasons a player would pick us over Spurs at the minute.
Let's hope the Rodgers connection is enough this time!
Where did you see this? I checked Twatter and RAWK but havent seen anything.
They did, actually, try to get Rodgers.
It's being reported quite widely. The Mail and Goal.com are running with it. The telegraph seem convinced that he's ours though, so fingers crossed.
It'd be great if Spurs actually went after players by their own volition instead of just waiting for us to find a target then attempting to poach them.
Could quite easily be bullshit to be honest. Greg Stobart has been pretty much on the money recently, and he's saying that we've almost signed him.

So why isn't Bale at the Olympics?
Concentrating on being right for Spurs' title bid.
Interview with Rio in the Mirror. Boring, but ludicrous photos.
'Injured'.

Just browsing Instagram photos and I stumble across this:
Brilliant.

Wouldn't it have been easier for his mum to write a note stating that 'Gareth is focused on Spurs' and will not be attending the Olympics'?

Why would you get RVP on a shirt? Jeez

I think that's his 'release clause'

Aren't the Mirror claiming he has an agreement with Swansea that he can leave for £15 million to a 'top five club' :lol
Sounds like a contract dispute case if I ever heard it.

So they're saying he's stipulated 5 specific clubs rather than the top five. Fair enough. When does the Olympic footy start?
That certainly illuminates things a bit.
Slightly odd I suppose, but looks that way. The ladies football is today I think?
He was used to market the Olympic football quite heavily. It sucks really.
And the fact they sold them shirts as the official jersey, and then changed it, really sucked. People were robbed of £40 for a jersey which isn't even relevant now.
He's a genuinely good player, would love to see him in our league.

Are you sure about that? I thought it was sold as a supporters jersey.
edit: Actually I'm pretty sure the writing on that image actually says it's a supporter jersey.

Highlights of yesterday friendly against Schalke 04: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsOY7sfggAs&feature=youtu.be
Some good things in there, we still have a lot to do and clearly need 3-4 players. Love how Taiwo is getting another chance, Traorè showed some good passing, Acerbi is still out of condition. At least that's what I hope, he can't be that bad.
Yesterday evening, Galliani basically admitted that he'll try to sign Kakà. An Italian "journalist" also said that we'll try to buy Diarra as well. Plus, French press said that we're after Robben (with a 20m offer).
We're also close to Yanga-Mbiwa, Montpellier CB, and our director of football is talking with Joorabchian, Tevez agent.
IF we actually get all of those players, I'd might watch a couple of matches this season. Too bad we'll probably end up with Yanga-Mbiwa, Kakà and Tevez, if we're lucky.
