Now I remember why Sagna's fall seemed so familiar. Saw this in wrassle gaf the other day

That Welbeck chip was perfectly executed

Did anyone else think Johnson was particularly good today? Didn;t give away any silly fouls, got forward constantly, played it smart, I think all of his dribbles were successful, and he remained very calm when he was under pressure and managed to pass it out of the back.

I think everyone played pretty well today except for the the set piece defending, which was a joke

Yeah he's good, still think Richards should be first choice for England.

Just catching up with MotD, thought the ref got both of the penalty decisions right to be honest. Second yellow card for Kos was bullshit though.

:lol Postiga is such a shit replacement for someone like Soldado.. Bernat and Banega have been very good though.
Yeah he's nowhere near Soldado's quality but then with the experience he's gained from all the clubs he's been to I can understand why he wouldn't want to play in Liga Adelante (or why Zaragoza wouldn't want to keep paying for him). Not sure why Valencia thought he'd be a good replacement and he's even a couple of years older. If he can put a good performance like Ruben Castro did last season it won't be a bad investment but as it looks now Banega seems to be the better of the two. Bernat has been good so far and if Jonas can capture his form from last season it should prove to be great for them.

BB S3E9 spoilers

I really hope Jesse and Walt go back to being semi-bros. Jesse is not very likable atm

<snip>

Have guests coming over for dinner tomorrow evening that probably won't be gone by the time the episode starts. Going to have to avoid the internet big time.
EDIT: Oh shit you're only on Season 3. Erm, never mind.

Thought it was interesting, the contrast between Koscielny and Wilshere today.

The later could be described as petulant and whiny at times, but he looked like he cared. Koscielny smiled when he conceded the penalty.

How much is Liverpool's budget this year, haven't they made money with transfers this year.
Broken even so far but we've been trying to make one big signing all summer - Mikhtargaryan, Papadopoulos, Costa, and now Willian.

I think it was more of an incredulous smile to be fair.

Most players are mercs, I think that is why arsene is keen to build that home grown spine.

Probable formation?

I don't know what's on Allegri's mind, but I expect it to be something like the one for the match against Derthona:

Abbiati; Abate-Mexes-Silvestre-Constant; Montolivo-De Jong-Nocerino; Boateng-Balotelli-El Shaarawy.

I'd expect Nocerino and Silvestre to be replaced, by Poli and Zapata respectively. I still don't know if Mexes can play since he had a one match ban on UCL. If he can't play, the CB will most likely be Zapata and Silvestre/Zaccardo, who are shitty.

I expect PSV to score a couple, but I trust Milan to score more than them.

A few millions in the black.

Still think we need two defenders and a midfielder or striker.


I hope liverpool get their player, as long as they keep on playing the kids at some point it is only good for the league.

While people like to say lolerpool etc, I think a strong arsenal, liverpool etc is good for everyone. I would like to see premier league clubs doing well in europe above all else
