fixed that for you, thank you very much
Some clubs run on a budget.
:lol
The Watford coaching staff of 2008-09 have enjoyed a remarkable season in 2013-14. Back then at Vicarage Road, Brendan Rodgers was manager, Sean Dyche a coach and Mark Warbuton youth team boss. This season Rodgers could win the Premier League, Dyche has managed Burnley to promotion and Warburton has got Brentford out of League One.
$1....9...0?? I feel sick. You can't wipe your ass for that little at a US university.
When you are 10th biggest club in the world in revenue and make over €260m in revenue, then I think you can spring for €5m on a player you think will improve your team. He's their 3rd best scorer (4) in 11 games -- only Kaka (7) and Balotelli (14) have more goals.
Galliani and Berlusconi are Milan problems. The club just need a new owner or at least a new CEO.
Taarabt is only 24? feels like he's been around forever
also just because he's scored goals for Milan doesn't necessarily make him a good purchase. he's such a limited, flawed player. it's not just opportunity cost in terms of money (of which Milan clearly are in a period of extreme austerity) but also footballing terms too. can't really blame Milan on that one.

He wants to stay at Milan, and no other big club wants him . . . why wouldn't we use that to our advantage to try and lower the asking price? Not every club can throw money around like it's nothing. I also think Milan fans have been overrating Taarabt a bit, I'm not even sure if he is worth the asking price.
That being said Berlusconi has really become a cheap fuck and I hope he sells the club.
It's him or Honda. Him. Or. Honda.

Seriously though, getting 2nd place after the horrid seasons Liverpool has suffered throughout the years should really be celebrated.
Pity some Liverpool fans will see it as worthless just for not being champions.

Gonna have to sell the PS4 to pay off some guys.
Atleast i'll have more time to formulate the world cup bets and catch up on my reading.
I think it's good to sell it now.
Mine is a glorified Netflix player at the moment.
What backhanded compliments?

THE PARLAY PRINCE
LONG MAY HE REIGN
This is Eudom from El Paso, Texas. Eudom has terminal cancer and was awarded a wish by The Craig Willinger Fund to see his favorite club, Manchester United, play in person.
He attended training on Monday and then watched the game at Old Trafford from a luxury box at midfield.
He also got to meet his favorite player.
United were apparently great hosts and Eudom couldn't have been happier with the experience.

In what fucking world can you blame another club for your mistakes.
Oh yeah, Barca.
Oh yeah, Barca.
Too many to list
Here and everywhere
The banter will never end
One thing is for sure
Next season will be full of zip and vigor
But...but...but...he chose Barca! That was the feather in their cap earlier this season.

I hope City get some good hard penalties. What were they thinking?

Oh god, we're supposedly in talks to bring back secret agent Denisov.
I hope Villa get a few penalties themselves...

So, the usual?
Milan won't be in the CL next year and probably won't make it to the Europa League, we're pretty much a poor team and wages are too high for us and most of the players (around what Juve spends every year. And they won the scudetto every year). Asking for a discount, as ridiculous as it seems, it's the only thing we could do.
We also probably won't buy Rami and sign Alex for free, even if Rami proved himself to be a great CB in just 5 months. And his price is like 7m, just like Taarabt.
He's good enough for Serie A football, defenders don't usually understand where's going to be and that might come in handy. We're all aware that he isn't the next Messi and has a shit attitude: a few weeks ago he said that he wanted to be a good boy just until the end of the year, when we would've bought him, then he'd go back to be an asshole both on and off the pitch.
City & PSG will team up. The might of the UAE v UEFA.

Today marks 5 months since Aguero completed 90 minutes in a Premier League game.
What's worst is that Galliani doesn't want to buy Rami and he's thinking about replacing him with Alex.
That's pretty disgusting if you ask me. I know our President is a criminal and all that shit, but Galliani is pure evil.
Being reported we want a 'commanding' center back this summer as well.
Also reports of us wanting Luke Shaw.
This summer should be our best one in years. It's certainly the most exciting.
City haven't sold out their ground tonight.
Would Marshall go to sit on the bench though after his best ever season?
It should be if we spend wisely.
I thought you rated Caulker? For me, he hasn't been too impressive at Cardiff.
Would Marshall go to sit on the bench though after his best ever season?
It was Rodgers that apparently convinced Mackay to sign him in the first place. He was sure that he would soon become one of the best English CBs from the time he worked with him at Swansea.
I wonder if we are interested?
Need to be realistic with that. Marshall ain't joining a team to bench sit all year and only play the odd europa league game. He's a better player than that, I can see Marshall at a West Ham, Crystal Palace but he won't join one of our clubs to sit on the bench without first team football all season.
His name has been linked, but Rodgers is apparently looking for a loud, commanding CB who can organise the defence. I haven't seen loads of Caulker, but I don't think he fits that description.
Yeah, Caulker hasn't progressed at all this season and as a captain he doesn't seem to be ready yet. I still rate him but for most of the season he's been working under a novice manager and surrounded by shit players. He still needs someone to learn from but there is nobody like that at Cardiff.
On Marshall I guess it depends, if we offer him a better contract than anyone else then he will join us. If he's that good then he should look forward to challenging Lloris for the gloves, we might not be in the CL but we should have European football next season. Every player wants to play in Europe.
Probably the best thing about this summer will be not having to take big risks when trying to strengthen key areas.
For example, if we want a quality, vocal CB, we aren't going to be stuck with buying someone who's been out long term or had a massive dip in form with the hope that they can get back to their best. We can go for real quality straight away.

I'm pretty sure that by kick off those tickets will have been 'sold'. Possibly at inflated prices. Then the buyers will all be mysteriously ill and not at the game.
