Best of luck to Higuain, since that injury he hasn't been the same, a shame because he was incredible until then..

Now, what striker we get? Suarez? Plz no.

Man, Lazio used to spend a lot of money. £29m on Gaizka Mendieta.. he was the most expensive Spanish player of all time at that point. That's nutty.
 
So Mata, Torres and Azpilicueta misses the first match for Chelsea of the season because of a fucking friendly match in Ecuador... International football is truly the worst.

:| Wonder how this affects us. Just looked it up.. the friendly is August 14th. Ours is August 19th. They could make it back for the bench but I bet we'll miss a bunch of our guys too. Dammit.

Nice cross by Mandzukic.

He looked pretty good. He was playing against 3 absolute slugs in Huddlestone, Parker and Denpsey but he seemed to have some quality. He played for Basel right?

Yeah, free transfer from Basel. From what we were told he sounded like he would rarely venture out of his own half but he was all over the pitch today, was nice to see.

That's Cazorla gone as well then, God damn.

I was going to suggest that maybe La Liga started a week or two later so they could just not bring any PL players but it starts the same week. That's going to be a lot of players missing from big clubs. Weird decision for the timing.

Absolutely brilliant atmosphere in Sheffield today for the visit of Rangers. Sun is shining and spirits are high. Never seen that many away fans in the city centre before. Some great mingling between both sets of fans. Love it.

A very different atmosphere to what it sounded like for Celtic at Brentford at the weekend.
