I hear FootballFan has been dethroned in FIFA. Poor geriatric fuck, his skills must be deteriorating.

Next step is obviously a transfer request from Suarez.
Serious question, what difference would that even make? We already know he doesn't want to be here and he wants us to sell him. Requesting it in writing doesn't seem like it will be some sort of royal flush that will finally destroy our resolve. He's already started the backtracking, hasn't he?
Though to be honest, the wording of what Henry said was too strong for us to sell him now, I think. He talked about how there's no time now to get an adequate replacement in, to me that's not the sort of thing you say when you're still open to selling your star player. He'd be lambasted if we sold our best player after saying we can't possibly get a replacement in.
I agree. I'm not as bullish as you are but this isn't over until deadline day. Suarez still wants out.
BAAAAAAYEEEEERRN

My belief is that if Suarez to Arsenal was truly over, JW Henry wouldn't be giving that interview, Rodgers would or there would be no need for an interview at all. Why does the club owner need to speak on it? You don't see Roman or Kroenke or the Glazers commenting on transfers. I expect a few more twists in this transfer. Next step is obviously a transfer request from Suarez. Liverpool fans will obviously disagree with my POV, but we'll see. It's not over as far I'm concerned. Afcamden actually said that Kroenke and Henry are speaking as Arsenal does not want any animosity between us and Liverpool. We've been graceful as far this transfer goes. We didn't leak the bid, Liverpool did. Rodgers has been the one talking about the bid every chance he gets. John Henry asked us what we're smoking at the Emirates and Suarez himself gave the interviews, without explicitly mentioning Arsenal I might add. The only time Wenger spoke about this transfer is to confirm we bid after the media uproar and to say the deal is on hold.

I'd gladly take him for 50m.And ye shall overpay to the tune of 50 million bones. And it shall be glorious.
Anyone know how many hours it is until the CL playoff draw?

Suarez is a special kind of issue though. He would be a proper prick to have around unmotivated. Despite his awesomweness on the pitch it would be hard to get success with him being such a cunt off the pitch.Players shit on us anyways. If we're only getting him on loan for two seasons before shipping him off to Madrid or City, I can live with that. It's nice that this is the first season without a major transfer saga surrounding our best player in a long long time, but that's only because the standard has fallen so far. I'll take great player + destabilizing transfer sagas over mediocre players + stability any day.

look at all those awful teams. i want Paços to play Arsenal, is that possible?
I want Milan vs Fenerbahçe and Zenit vs Soceidad.
Yes. Pacos' possible opponents are Arsenal, Lyon, Schalke, Zenit and Milan.
I wouldn't mind PSV, Metal or Pacos. The others no way, do not want!Nope. I want nothing to do with Sociedad.

I guess MUFC transfer shit ain't gonna happen
Convenient since that's what I want too. Easily the weakest of the possible opponents.oh damn, now i want Paços vs Zenit. glorious Gazprom tears.

It's like you want a cookie and a pat on the head for being a shithouse spendaholic Middle Eastern PR venture.

I got Thomas Was Alone and Guacamelee on my Vita last night. Got damn, both really good games for many different reasons.
Thomas Was Alone was less than £3. It's currently £5.99 on Steam. Vita has exclusive DLC too and if you buy that, you still come in at under £5.99.
Europa League seedings:
Why didn;t you purchase Thomas Was Alone when it was free on PS+?
I didn;t really get into it, played it for 30 minutes or so before remembering that I don't really like sidescrolling puzzle-platformers
Gonna get Guacamelee eventually I think. Does it have online, cross-play co-op?
He grew old.Wow...remember when there was all that RUMBO to united talk. What ever happened to that guy?
:O when was it free?! I've only had PS+ for the past 2 months or so.
And I'm not sure on the Guacamelee cross play front. It doesn't appear to have online or co-op, but it's still really cool so far. The music, the art.
