Any chance of some decent opposition from Malaga? Not feeling today's matches, but I might take a peek at Barca for that Neymar-Messi magic.

They're still alright but you can imagine it would be tough losing Isco and Pellegrini. Schuster is their coach now lol.

Baptista, Saviola, Demichelis, Toulalan, Iturra and Joaquin also not there anymore.

Neymar is expected to start too, so Malaga will be the first team to feel his true starting power.

Actually he might have been talking about Rooney's transfer, on ITV, for the England-Scotland game.

 

[Arnie]

Arnie you've been on poor form lately. Numerous £30 million signings? We've never paid that amount for a player and if we do then it's obvious where that money's coming from. And you tried to sign Willian and Micky, so you saying he's yet to make a £20 million signing is a weak comparison in terms of the finances he has at his disposal.

Soldado and Lamela (when it's completed).

And I'm not saying you shouldn't be making those signings, or that we can't make a £30 million signing (as you've said, we tried). I'm simply pointing out the facts, you've spent far more money than we have and added real quality to a number of positions in your squad. Whilst we've tried to add that quality we haven't been able, and thus I don't think we can expect Rodgers to keep up with those that have.

It makes no odds to my argument whether we tried or not, or whether your deals were bankrolled by Bale. That's the situation.

Our biggest weaknesses last season were being physically outmuscled or done on the counter attack.

Considering the first two teams we have played, I'm quite happy that we have learnt how to manage those weaknesses.

Time for Levy to plant his man on the work permit hearing panel.

Do it, based Levy.

 

[L1NETT]

Betting tip nobody asked for.

Leyton Orient 4/1 to get promoted this year.

Edit: Villa fans, Samir Carruthurs looks tidy, scored a neat goal today. Bamford also got a nice one, on loan from the blues I think.

 

[Suen]

Haha, fair points from the both of you

Support more than one team, become a multi-team bro.

That's a strange argument then if you're ignoring the reason why we can add real quality in a number of positions. That we will significantly weaken our squad in order to sign some of those players. Is there any point comparing the finances available without looking at net spend? You spent about £20 million last January.

Malaga is shit now, they've lost like most of their key players. On top of the ones Messi mentioned don't forget that Arse bought Cazorla, Monreal and Rubin Kazan bought Rondo, all good players.

 

[cremino]

You are Italian though, right? I'm in Slovenia, close to the border, near Gorizia.

Oh yes!!! I went to Postumia once when I was a kid

TERMS AGREED FOR WILLIAN
Posted on: Sun 25 Aug 2013

Chelsea Football Club can confirm an agreement has been reached with both Willian and his club Anzhi Makhachkala for the transfer of the Brazilian player.

The transfer is subject to a work permit hearing on Wednesday.

who leaves chelsea? mata?

i bet spurs are pissed

 

[GorillaJu]

who leaves chelsea? mata?

i bet spurs are pissed

They have no right to be - the player preferred Chelsea, Anzhi preferred dealing with them. It was Chelsea's deal to lose, as soon as they stepped in.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Victor Moses.

 

[Wilbur]

you do know you are a fake wilbury?

I am the real Wilbury

 

[Wilbur]

Wilbur, your man crush Nelson Oliveira scored 2 for Rennes in their 2-1 win over Evian. he has now scored 3 out of the team's 5 goals and got them to 5th place.

Oh my. His beard is utterly orgasmic. Thank you for the update lambda I can now masturbate in peace

lol my cold must be getting to my brain pretty bad. I was thinking of your avatar when I wrote that post, I really meant you :lol

[kharma45]

Looking for a DVD/Blu-Ray collection app for Windows Phone, used to have one on my iPhone which was pretty brilliant and would let you scan the bar codes on the boxes. Any ones like this? Tried a few and they're pretty shit. Lol

Flixter does ratings but isn't probably what you want. I'll see what I can come up with.

Spurs vs Swansea would've made a great lunchtime tv fixture. Not sure why sky aren't showing it.

I would laugh so hard if we sign Hulk!

Not sure if I want him though, he seems to have motivation issues.

There's F1 today? Fuck.

I guess that's how much I've cared about this year's season. It started really well but fucking Vettel ruined it for me.

Is this a Civ game?

Europa Universalis IV (EUIV). Similar to Civ but a lot more advanced. If Civilization is FIFA then EUIV is Football Manager.

The series is really great. Only had time to play EUIV for a couple of days and so far I'm pleased.

F1 is one of thos sports where unless you're properly into it, it becomes a pile of shite once someone starts running away with it, since they're only competing for one thing which the casuals give a shit about

I don't think this game will be for me then.

Just started Civ for the first time and I'm still not entirely sure on what I'm doing.

yo, why the fuck is Spurs and City at the same time today?

fuckin brits.

 

[Labadal]

Notts County will be a good chance to see Luis Alberto in action. Hopefully he'll get 90 minutes there, and Coutinho will have a break.

Wanna see Yesil, Wisdom, Kelly, Sterling, and Ibe start. We'll probably see Borini, Pacheco and Assaidi start.

But fuck McLaren since they can't get anything right this year.

I'd say I am more into it than a casual fan, I've been through a good couple of years of Michael Schumacher's era and I honestly can't take another one of those with Vettel.

I believe when that started to happen again this year my mind started to shut down when it came to F1. Hopefully next year will be better but I care more about RVP now.

That said, I am still going to go this year to watch it live in Abu Dhabi. That's mostly due to Muse being there though, more than the race itself.

 

[Gareth Bale]

From what I've read it sounds like my sort of game.

Edit: there's a demo? Will download and play when I get back from football

 

[Clegg]

You'll get into it. It takes some time to understand how things work. If you have questions just ask in the Brave New World thread at GAF, we're always willing to help.

I'll pop into the thread eventually, thanks.

Just trying to get used to all the different options the game presents.

Do we still not have a backup for Lucas?

 

[Steverulez]

Can't believe that in the first 2 weekends that Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea and United have all been on TV twice… seems unfair on other teams.

Not to mention Cardiff vs City is hardly a blockbuster, i'd rather Spurs vs Swansea was on TV

Edit: Sorry Spurs not on TV, as they're at the same time as City my bad

 

[Yurt]

Because Andrea Poli scored the 1st goal of the season, he has won 50 kilos of honey from Udinese fan Gigi Nardini who does this every year

-

Fuck Massa, he's so useless.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Is it store bought honey or is he a beekeeper or something?

Wait, they chose the City match to be on TV? Fuck's sake.

@justjohn, I think its too much to expct Liverpool to take a 4th place challenge to the last day the season after we finished 12 points behind.

 

[WAR recon zero]

Vettel is going to steamroll this. I really really don't like new rules, I want long pitstops and refuels, oh well

 

[elseanio]

Is that 21:9?

(Why is it called 21:9 when it's the same as 7:3?)

Probably just to highlight the extended horizontal size from 16:9

It's 2.37:1, which makes it great for movies!

 

[3Sixty]

Swansea game not televisied. It's only on Sunday because of Europa involvement
