Well if Arsenal won't pay then I don't know who else will.
Unless Spurs hold onto Bale and Real need a marquee signing.

Same, feels like we've strengthened massively in the last six months.
Throw in Mignolet, and Aspas is looking really promising, and I'm fairly satisfied. Would love a Papa signing though, and I feel we've still got one in our locker.

What a lemon Suarez is.
Let him wallow about and moan, but he isn't going to Arsenal.

I think Arsenal have been as respectful as we could have been.Guardian's back page tomorrow.

I hope Suarez had a good reason for not attending that charity dinner. Like I said before he was pictured at Liverpool central train station last night but you could make up all sorts of stories from that.
To be fair the +1 pound bid was a piss take and only served to annoy Henry and Ayre.

Man Suarez is a prick. Fair enough he wants to leave but he could still have gone to Gerrard's dinner.
Unless of course he had somewhere else to be and it was really important.

You were told a player wasn't for sale, you still bid. You were told £40 million would not be enough for said player, you bid £40,000,001. Liverpool have every right to be wound up by Arsenal, for taking the word of an evidently clueless agent over that of the football club you're desperate to negotiate with.
And it's definitely bitten you in the Arse.
Aye, in fairness to him we have no idea where he actually was, and why he didn't attend.
As Shogun said he was getting a train somewhere so it's not as if he was sat at home having a cry.

The Dinner Party (season 4 episode 9) episode in The Office is super cringe, I can't get through it without pausing every minute.
If a player has an alleged £40m release clause you aren't going to pay more than that. Arsenal are a business.
If we're talking about lack of respect, lets talk about Suarez.
This 'verbal agreement' is what players say when they are stuck on a long contract with no release clause. Modric and Bale both tried this trick. It means fuck all. If they really wanted an agreement it would be in the contract.
I'm at the very end of Tomb Raider. I'm going to end up finishing it in 2.5 sittings, around 12 hours or so.
What an awful game. Dreadful throughout. It has everything in it that I hate about singleplayer developed action games at this point in the generation. I reached a section last night where I thought it was going to end, but then it dragged on for another two hours or so. I hope I'm at the end now because I'm just dying to delete from my HD.
I can't believe this is being mentioned in GOTY conversations. It's complete shit as a platformer; shooter; puzzler; and a Tomb Raider game.
The cast of characters are some of the worst developed I can remember. Lara herself is probably the worst offender of all. The voice actress is so overly dramatic, and constantly talking to herself, that you can just picture her reading from sheets of paper as she pants between the yellow glowing objects you have to reach.
I care about nothing more than seeing the credits roll and putting this game in my rear view.
We aren't signing any CM's this summer ;_;
Someone needs to put a caption "... And they think we are gonna sign a top class CM" or someone like that.
I knew as soon as we saw the first footage that it would be an abomination. It's hard to believe the same studio made the excellent Anniversary. Tomb Raider is about feeling like Indiana Jones, not stabbing people repeatedly in the eyeballs and trying to avoid being raped.
I'm convinced that our strikers at Madrid can do well. With Higuain gone Benz can be given more playtime and might do better. If not Morata and Jese should be given more time. Both can end up becoming great. Suarez at Madrid would be nice for sure, so would Cavani when I was all about wanting us to get a new striker but so far in this pre-season I feel we have what we need. I'd still take Bale over Di Maria though lol. Anyway part of me says a top striker would be nice, another part of me says to wait and see how well our current strikers can do.
The Suarez discussion has been done to death. He's a cunt but considering how fickle football fans are I'm sure if he stays his name will be sung from the KOP against Stoke.
The problem I have with the man is that even though I can understand him wanting to move to a club that will grant him more short term success the way he has gone about it has been terrible. I've come to the conclusion that Suarez the man isn't the brightest guy around in fact he's a little bit thick, but then has we been a little less biased throughout the season we would of already knew that.

Exactly.
I'd love to hear Dalglish's view on all this, given what backing Suarez eventually cost him.and us.

PM me your 3ds friend code
I wanted to write that but we signed that RB, Varela, this summer.
Looks like shit, like a FIFA game should. They all look dead inside.
EA takes people for face capturing and kills them inside.
Talk about being in a shitty situation. He's taken a big dump on his own club yet selling him means you'll lose an amazing player who does score lots of goals for you. You're not going to find a replacement of the same quality if you sell him, at least not from those who are available atm.

I see that I'm late...
yeh you even missed the friendly banter that turned sour like the lemons i posted when one of the arsenal supporters threw his toys out of the pram, declaring that Gala shouldn't have been allowed to play the emirates cup because of what happened to those Leeds fans. 13 years ago. In 2000AD. Because Drogba dived in a preseason friendly tournament.
Yep. It's why I didn't even consider it back in February. Got it for $17 off PSN with all the DLC during e3.
On normal difficulty the health re-gen is so fast, I've literally just been rushing enemies with the rock ax and meleeing them. The gun/bow combat and AI is appalling. And there's so much of it.
If The Last of Us is Citizen Kane, New Tomb Raider is Weekend at Bernie's III.
Fickle.

You brought shame to the Emirates Cup. Never forget that.
My bro said he read it on twitter, I'm not sure who it is though. Most likely BS.
Yeah, its some Marca reporter apparently. However, Both Andy Mitten and Miggy D say the Cesc deal isn't dead yet. Hope it gets sorted out this week one way or another. Moyes needs to move on.
Don't you support Fenerbahce? Why are you defending Gala?
I think the most interesting part of this saga is Suarez's silence. It can be interpreted in so many different ways.
The wait until September 2nd is going to be very painful.

Wasting their time with a league win, champs league quarterfinal and AMPLE playing time and good money/good food and a fanbase that loves them.
But i see where you're coming from, god knows i only hope to know as much about the league they play in as you do.
The man's killer reaction and instinct hasn't left him, what a way to sell the defence a lemon with a inside cut from the pass.
Because I like their team, i like what their board of directors are trying to do for domestic football and it's visibility across the world, in regards to both popularity and attracting class, non-Turkish players. It's a shame the TFF want to destroy that with yet more foreign player restrictions in the 2014/2015 league. Eventually they'll close the tax loophole too making it even less attractive. They're trying to be a positive driving force for Turkish football in every arena and it's something that everyone who watches Turkish football should be supporting.
You are voicing all my fears. Even in the old Tomb Raider games, I didn't care for her having human enemies. I wanted to be in an ancient tomb, isolated and in fear of animals and traps. Single opponents were ok, if they had a reason to be there, i.e. my rival tomb raiders. This also bothers me in Uncharted (although to a lesser extent). I open the secret entrance to this long-forgotten ancient city and armed thugs are waiting for me in there. Did they use the service entrance?!
Anyway, seeing all the trailers and reviews, it seems this game has very little to do with the Tomb Raider I like. I am trying my best to make myself aware of that so I will hopefully simply enjoy it as an Uncharted clone and not see it as a Tomb Raider at all.
It seems, even that might be a stretch.
This is probably the only good thing, in that we can (and seem to be in the process of doing so) strengthen our squad and first team, regardless of whether Suarez is staying or going.
For some reason, Wenger is fixated on this deal. The sensible thing would have been to walk away and focus on other areas, then see what the situation is in mid August.

What silence?
When he was in Uruguay he couldn't stop saying shit.
Now he's back Liverpool have finally managed to get the muzzle back on him.
What's fickle is that cupcake Rodgers insulting us for not doing anything wrong. All public comments are coming from Liverpool, Arsenal acting as best we can under these bs circumstances from Rodgers and Ayre.
I didn't mean it with any disrespect to Gal or Turkish league. I think they still have the ability to perform with a really top side in Europe and do well too.
