I don't really like buying boxsets when they are still running on networks :lol
I prefer to wait till the seasons has finished and then buy the whole lot.
Will be nice to have a physical copy of BB even though it's all on Netflix anyway.
Try and contain your boner!

Ubisoft are real sheep, doing exactly what Rockstar do with the GTA videos:

Over the last few years maybe, but for the previous decade good luck trying to make him out as a buffoon in the transfer market.

I'm absolutely gutted we can't see the action from today's friendly. Sturridge with two goals and an assist, Alberto with another. It's genuinely what my dreams are made of.
And then Gosling with a goal against Liverpool. A few years ago that's what my nightmares were made of.

We're so fucked if he can't make the CL qualifier.
I want to believe that they made him come back at the first sighting of a minor injury. Just to be safe and have him available vs PSV.
From what I've read, things may have actually gone that way.
We're so winning the scudetto if we don't make it past the CL qualifier.
Indeed.
Hughes got the reputation as a bad manager after City, forgetting that he was the Moyes of the league before that with Blackburn.
By default. I think Hughes is a good manager when his ego doesn't get ahead of him. Did well with Blackburn and Fulham. Sunderland are an unknown quantity. Cardiff I think will grind out results. Norwich have really improved their squad. Newcastle have the talent if they stop the dysfunction. Stoke haven't really added much. It's between Stoke, Fulham, Cardiff and Sunderland for the final relegation spot I think.

People above have cited Hughes as a reason but I think they would have been in danger of the drop even if Pulis was still there, they've steadily been sliding down the table in the last few years.
I don't think Hughes is that bad a manager myself, but I can see Stoke struggling because they'll probably be set up to play in a totally different way this season and they might struggle to adjust.
I reckon Hull and Palace are going to be down regardless, not sure who the other team will be.
They haven't signed anyone of note who will dramatically make them more of a threat going forward.
They're changing away from the system which has arguably kept them in the league all these years.
Mark Hughes.

Mark Hughes was good at Fulham and Blackburn. Finished in the top 6 with Rovers and got them to multiple FA Cup semi finals. Finished 8th with Fulham.
He was obv crap at QPR but I think people over-state that, done well at other clubs.

They had Morten Gamst Pederson at his prime. Still remember those amazing goals he scored against you lot.
The fucker never played that well for the national team.

Hmm, Downing is 6.0 in FPL. That's not too bad, I think he will do quite well at West Ham.
FIFA agent Giacomo Petralito claims Napoli are ahead of Arsenal in the race for Luiz Gustavo.
He's not a Juve fan that's for sure.

I thought the same about Jarvis :/
He'll be solid but won't stand out. West Ham will be around top 10 for as long as Sam's there.

As the season quickly approaches and the amount of Liverpool squad players leaving (Downing, Shelvey, Reina, Suso) they have yet to fill the gaps within the squad.
Whilst I've been very impressed with signings which have came in so far, I still think Liverpool need to improve on four positions: a left-back, centre-back, an attacking midfielder and a back up goalkeeper before the window closes.
Skrtel, Assaidi and Coates are probably the next to leave. I think they are very keen on Papadopolous, but there is too much hindering on his fitness. Siqueira seems to be the left-back coming in. There seems to be no signs of a attacking midfielder coming in (especially since Mkhitaryan went to Dortmund and the Costa deal died). I would like us to have a look a Willian, with all the uproar that seems to happened at Anzhi. Brad Jones is no where near good enough to be on the bench for us. Ibe will probably fill Assaidi's role within the squad.
Out of the teams who are realistically aiming at finishing fourth this season (Spurs, Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal) I feel that Spurs have by far done the best business. They have the luxury of having two quality players in nearly every position. The league is alot stronger this year, teams like Southampton, Norwich and West Ham will be very hard to beat.

They were nearly relegated last season and haven't really notably improved, plus Hughes isn't a great coach by any means. I hope they don't since they're turning into a mini USMNT nowadays.
I have him on my team but I am not expecting much. Shakhtar are a great club though so I'd imagine he'll be an upgrade for most EPL teams including West Ham.
Hahah JuventaS is actually a football club in my hometownJuventas

This is what I am hoping for as well. Apparently he has liquid in his knee, per Milan's website. There's still a week until the first leg so hopefully he'll be alright.
Fukkk the scudetto, I'd rather get third place in the league than not compete in the CL for an entire year.
Yeah but you guys also have Idris Elba

My word
Its everything I ever dreamed of. Pls don't fuck this up Rockstar. Pls.
They seem to have made a game based on the negative market-opinion reaction to GTAIV, rather than the positive sales and critical reaction.

This isn't much of an answer and it's based on nothing - but I'd say its 50/50
Most accurate story:
During its history, the club has acquired a number of nicknames, la Vecchia Signora (the Old Lady) being the best example. The "old" part of the nickname is a pun on Juventus which means "youth" in Latin. It was derived from the age of the Juventus star players towards the middle of 1930s. The "lady" part of the nickname is how fans of the club affectionately referred to it before the 1930s. The club is also nicknamed la Fidanzata d'Italia (the Girlfriend of Italy), because over the years it has received a high level of support from Southern Italian immigrant workers (particularly from Naples and Palermo), who arrived in Turin to work for FIAT since the 1930s. Other nicknames include; i bianconeri (the black-and-whites), le zebre (the zebras) in reference to Juventus' colors. I gobbi (the hunchbacks) is the nickname that is used to define Juventus supporters, but is also used sometimes for team's players. The most widely accepted origin of gobbi dates to the fifties, when the bianconeri team was wearing a large jersey. When players ran on the field, the jersey, which had an opening on the chest with laces, generated a bulge on the back (a sort of parachute effect), giving the impression that the players have a hunchback
