Cesc could have gone to many other clubs I am sure.

He said that much himself... Everyone and their mothers claims he was told to leave Barca though, so no surprise he wanted back to his second home London instead of rotting on the bench at Barca... and when Arsenal didn't come for him the choice seemed pretty clear.

 

[Abraxas]

Good defending.

 

[bud]

this is already way more entertaining than four years ago.

 

[HotHamWater]

Hulk you knobhead.

 

[Clegg]

United chase Fabregas all last summer

Becomes available

Goes to Chelsea

Fuck Me

I don't think there's anything wrong with that tbh. He was a target when Moyes was manager but LvG didn't want him. Last year was different too as the football side of Barca wanted him to stay. This year they were keen on binning him. But this time we weren't in for him.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Oscar had done more in this game than the last 4 months of the season with Chelsea.

 

[Fergie]

Brazil getting it on.

 

[K1LLER7]

Great shot and save.

 

[arkon]

Dat upper body strength from Neymar.

 

[LTWheels]

Dani Alves is giving me a flash-forward of what to expect of Johnson...

 

[Fergie]

Waste of that goal line tech replay. Lol

 

[Stubo]

Goal line technology coming in handy already then!

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Guys, the goal was over the line.

Technology!

 

[bobito]

Cheers for the goalline tech ITV you morons

 

[Plasma]

Just in case you were wondering if it went over the line.

 

[Lightning]

We have Santi and Ozil in his position.

Maybe we could have sold Santi, but that was never going to happen after he extended his deal.

Santi is only cover though. Plays left wing mostly, where cesc can't play so that would be a bad trade. Draxler would be better as he can play both positions although won't get cesc assists yet but I have utmost faith in Ozil. Cesc for cover is a bit much, 30m it's understandable why wenger didn't do it.

32 year old Darijo Srna?

[EmiPrime]

If Arsenal/Arsene aren't going to show any loyalty to Cesc despite his obvious love of the club and the manager I don't begrudge him going wherever fits his needs even if it's a rival.

I reserve the right to change my opinion if he mouths off in the press or does something on the pitch I don't like.

ITV are just relaying the official feed. Everyone in the world watching will have seen that.

I doubt its the channel's decision, we saw the same here :/

We should have. He can bring the kind of creativity we need.

I guess we have to wait for WC to be over to see what LVG does. I hope to see a big summer clear out including Fellani

In their defence, ITV isn't controlling the picture. That will be the director of the Brazilian network in charge of broadcasting this game.

 

[Clegg]

Journos on twitter say half the floodlights at the stadium have failed.

 

[omgkitty]

I hate how they call it the "World Cup Finals". It's the World Cup. The last game is the final. Don't call it the finals.

 

[bud]

the pressure's getting too much for neymar.

may he rest in rip.

 

[HotHamWater]

Did Andy Townsend just say Freddie? What a cunt.

He forced his way out of Arsenal. Went on strike to leave. Used his own money to force his way out. Are people forgetting this? Arsenal owe him nothing.

If he loved the club he would have never left.

Ahhh wow, amazing FIFA. Well back to the official thread

[Yen]

The graphics for stats were a bit crap. Could barely read them

 

[Salvadora]

Neymar being a lil' bitch already.

 

[Fergie]

Neymar to get sent off.

Obvious love for the club? Hahahahahaha he sulked his way out and refused to play for us. He even paid his way out. You're reaching friend.

Player loyalty does not exist.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Would have taken some huge testicles to send him off there

 

[LTWheels]

Journos on twitter say half the floodlights at the stadium have failed.

Yeah, I saw that as well. No surprise considering the state of the construction of the stadiums...

The pitch for England Italy is looking quite poor.

 

[Ce-Lin]

should have been sent off, awful but this is Brasil

 

[Fergie]

HERO GOAL.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Noooooooo

 

[Wilbur]

Bah, scruffy finish

 

[arkon]

Neymaaaarrrrr!

 

[Abraxas]

What a shit goal.

 

[hiroshawn]

We didn't need Cesc in the first place it would have been a wasteful signing.

 

[Clegg]

We should have. He can bring the kind of creativity we need.

I guess we have to wait for WC to be over to see what LVG does. I hope to see a big summer clear out including Fellani

He's more of a number 10 now and we already have enough quality options in that position. He's still a good option when playing deeper and would easily be our best CM but LvG is looking at different players. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[holysan]

And here we have this WC's MVP.

 

[operon]

Should not have been on the pitch to score that

 

[Marc]

Had to be Neymar.


Ugh.

 

[K1LLER7]

KHARMAAAA I told you he'll come good.

 

[bud]

keeper should've saved it.

 

[Kurtofan]

Neymar sneaky goal
