Wedward ITK.
Yes. He is use to sitting on the bench at Barca, so he won't mind at Liverpool.
I've noticed that Sturridge (and Sterling) seem quite close to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the national set-up.
It would make sense that he was planting the seeds of betrayal.

Pappe pls
Hendo seems to be part of that little clique too. Are we about to be Southampton'd ourselves?

Had one Thursday. 'twas alright.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to Liverpool
ITK.
Didn't know Henderson is close to them lot. As he's not on twitter or anything hard to know.
it exceeds my expectations rom a heavty kind of beer. I like the spices.
I work on the basis that everything is real until proven otherwise, unless it's a story linking a striker to Arsenal. You can just go ahead and disregard those.
Henry Winter looks like a bystander at Antiques Roadshow
You can trust. You have to trust.
Henry Winter looks like Brendan Rodgers' and Daniel Craig's lovechild.
This would please me were it not so obvious that he will only be sold for about 4 times his value.

It's going to be the first National kit that i have purchased in a while
Going with a Memphis one? I want one as well, but I'm not sure what name I want on there. Robben is great, can't go wrong with RVP, Memphis is the future and Leroy Fer is my boy.
Decisions, decisions.
Did he say he wanted to stay at Dnipro for another year? It looks like our interest in him has completely cooled - haven't seen anything linking him recently.

You embrace the muppetry and compartmentalise your brain. 90% of it is latching onto rumours, speculation, bullshit and nonsense. The other 10% is realism, and the anchor that you'll only truly get excited when it officially happens
I'm still at an impasse over which one to get. The kit looks much better with a number
Like, Van Persie isn't an option for obvious reasons and neither is Robben.
After that, there's basically no one notable in the Dutch squad :lol.
bro pls, sneijder is ytour man
I've no idea what the story is with him tbh. I don't even know how good he is. Played well against Spurs but they're the only games I've ever seen him play. I'm now at the stage where I just want a winger who isn't Ashley Young.
It's a story by the Mirror so usually I'd ignore it but it was written by Simon Mullock. He was pretty on the ball with United's pursuit of LvG iirc.

Isn't he the Dutch Cleverley? Any dutch bros want to comment on his ability?
I think Bacon said he rates him highly but also mentioned the caveat of the Eredivisie not been the greatest indicator of quality.

I'm glad that I missed the friendly vs Greece. I knew it was to be a bore fest and am glad to not have wasted a nice Saturday watching garbage

Did it seem like Froch was ahead in the early rounds?
Everyone nearby in the ground felt Groves was well ahead before he got KO'ed.

Fuck we were shit tonight, Ireland looked like Spain at times, England'll walk all over us come the 14th or whenever, Bonucci and Paletta were a disgrace, god preserve Chiellini and Barzagli or we're screwed.
The injury to Montolivo was the one good thing to come out of today's match (edit: of course I hope he gets well soon, so he can start sucking again playing for Milan, I just don't think he deserves a place in the squad), that will make it slightly more likely for Verratti to get a starting spot in the team. He's just brilliant really, such a shame he didn't join Juve, the deal seemed all but done at the time:/
How did England play against Peru?

He definitely won't get paid more. He was on £150k a week at Chelsea. This would be about £7.8m a year -- roughly around $13m. It's a misconception that a lot of these older players make more than they would elsewhere to be honest -- anyone on £45k a week in the UK is making about $3.9m a year. These are the top 10 salaries in MLS:
Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders): $6,695,189
Michael Bradley (Toronto FC): $6,500,000
Jermain Defoe (Toronto FC): $6,180,000
Landon Donovan (L.A. Galaxy): $4,583,333
Robbie Keane (L.A. Galaxy): $4,500,000
Thierry Henry (N.Y. Red Bulls): $4,350,000
Tim Cahill (N.Y. Red Bulls): $3,630,000
Obafemi Martins (Seattle Sounders): $1,753,333
Marco Di Vaio (Montreal Impact): $1,750,000
Pedro Morales (Vancouver Whitecaps): $1,410,900
Omar Gonzalez (L.A. Galaxy): $1,250,000
Gilberto Oliveira Souza Júnior (Toronto FC): $1,210,000
I think I saw one article about Villa that said he'd earn around 3m a year which would translate to $4m -- I'm sure with bonuses he'll be around Keane and Henry. Lampard's salary will probably be a bit less. Maybe closer to Tim Cahill.
The commentators felt Froch was edging him earlier but Groves was growing into it before the KO. Amir Khan seemed to think Groves was edging it in the first few rounds though

So... the trademark Hodgson borefest with three random goals?
If Lampard were on ~$4m, that would equate to around £45k a week. I don't think an English club is going to offer a 36 year old Lampard more than that.
Except West Ham.

...and Harry Redknapp's QPR.
I think he'd pretty easily get something in that ballpark from a few clubs. Big Sam or Harry would probably offer £60k at least. Kind of irrelevant at this point though I suppose.

Not even a bad suggestion. Played a lot better than I expected today, didn't think the system would do him justice at left back. Still, gonna be a different ballgame when he has to face Sanchez, Navas or whoever.
Nigel De Jong played great as well, I picked up playing again myself, and I play CDM now because I'm too slow to play on the wing, so a De Jong jersey would be cool as well. Or Sneijder...
OMG I CAN'T CHOOSE !
Bruno Martins Indi
I don't like the guy. That pass to RVP against Ecuador was brilliant, but how often is he able to pull that off?
You're talking like an oil club was already in the league. They are going to inflate salaries like they did in the Premier League.
