Someone please buy Tom Cleverley. He only has a year left on his contract so won't cost too much.
The third doctor is employed by the home team though. That's hardly fair if they make decisions for the away team. The third doctor would need to be independent for that to work but from what I read that isn't the case.
Either way, common sense must prevail here. Playing on with head injuries has life threatening consequences should things go wrong.

Is the Mangala deal done or not?

Oh, I thought the third doctor was a PL appointed doctor or something. Thats what it should be. A PL or FA appointed doctor who makes decisions on head injuries, basically someone who is like a member of the ref team.
The rewards of being an Arsenal player Chambers.
But that's not what it says. It says the home team must have a 3rd tunnel doctor which implies the home team are responsible for that doctor not the FA. All the FA say is they will have their doctor oversee everything but that's pointless and doesn't help decisions on game day.

We will do you a good deal on Atsu if you could avoid beating us this season?

There's no way Lyon sells Lacazette, not after selling Gomis. They need a striker.
Benzia isn't ready and Yattara isn't good.

Typical dc.
Everton is our only hope. No one rates Cleverly except for Martinez. We should lower the price and just let them have him. half a million pounds plus add ons.
All my Madrid mocking aside is there any reason why they are kerbing Lopez to the side and forcing him out for Navas. Navas isn't that much different from Lopez in terms of quality so it smells like either Lopez was pissed that Casillas started all the cup games or Casillas was annoyed at not starting in the league games so it came to a head?

According to various journalists, we might sell Constant to Trabzonspor, Robinho to Santos and maybe even Zapata to Genoa, while buying Armero from Udinese, Perin from Genoa, Diego Lopez and sign Victor Valdes for free.
Basically we'll field two goalkeepers every game next season, just to be safe. Also, Constant>Armero isn't that big of an upgrade. A chair as LB would be much more useful, to be honest.
Edit: and Constant is official now. Galliani is doing a somehow decent job at selling useless players, still missing Robinho and then we'll be fine. Buying players is still a problem, though.

Have Milan given up on Campbell yet? No chance of a loan or sale there. We want him to stay.

From what I've read, yes. Mostly because Wenger said that he wanted to keep him at Arsenal this season, so I don't think we'll go after him anymore. We'll go all in on Cerci.

Look at Messi's new shit haircut.
Enrique looks like Jeremy beadle
First thing I thought as well. God, that is awful.
He's no longer listed as a player on your site. Porto consider it done, it's just in the hands of the third parties at this point apparently. City are hoping it'll be formally done within the next day or two apparently.
Xavi retired from international football? Best of luck to him. King sized cunt and I hate him with a passion but one of the greatest players I've ever seen and he's had an international many can only dream about. What a player.
Any additional players for City returning in time for our game? Aguero? Hope not.. I want us to win. Lol
Doubt any player who took part in the WC final will be fit enough to play. Most of them would just be returning from holiday.

Buy The Last of Us and kill some infected with a metal pipe.
Like Barzul said, I don't expect the Argentine players will play. Probably see Sagna start against you guys and then likely Nastasic. Mangala hasn't trained at all as he is just getting back from vacation today. Don't think he'd be anywhere near match ready by the 10th.
Hopefully Kompany is fit.. he has been MIA during the preseason.

Great article. Really think Hazard will step up even more this season.

May just end up keeping him, we need another CM and Fellaini is likely to be first out the door.
So depends on who leaves and comes in.
Still thinking we are gonna have a busy deadline day.
Chambers ain't playing any games in midfield. Not this season anyway, no way is he ready for that at the level we need. If Wenger thought that there would be no links to Khedira or Carvalho. Chambers is the natural successor to Mertesacker when he gets too old to play every week.
No I didn't mean he'd be our starter there, but I can definitely see him being used in cup games and less important fixtures. Think he'll rotate between defense and midfield. But will mainly play in defense.
I just realized Per turns 30 next month. Don't really think it will affect him that much though as the one thing most players lose is pace which he doesn't have any already.
I'm on holiday from Aug 16th, I might get it then!
Potentially. It'll be between him and Manquillo at RB, with Moreno and Enrique competing at LB. Glen can fuck off.

Aside from the Capital One cup we don't have any 'less important' fixtures. Every league performance is vital.
Last season:
West Brom - 2 points
Swansea - 2 points
Stoke 3 points
Aston Villa 3 points
We lost that many points against those teams last season and if we didn't we'd have won the league. Regardless of all the thrashings, all the bad games against the top 5 teams. We'd have won it. They are the fine lines with these teams in the league.
Very good point.
Divine Divinity is the first game in the series and plays more like Diablo. Divinity: Original Sin is the new one and well worth picking up. Glorious TB combat implementation.
So if you had just won 6 games you lost or drew you would have had a lot more points?
You don't say.
That was fairly obvious and made sense in the context of the discussion.
I get that the EPL is tight and even fixtures against lesser teams matter, but to say "we would have won the league if 6 matches had gone differently" strikes me as grasping at straws.
Even the very best teams drop points against subpar competition over a 38-game schedule. It's inevitable.
4 games.
Chelsea had the very same situation with games like Villa and Sunderland near the end of the season. And needed to win fewer of them. So did Liverpool.
Gah I know
AC4 was great and Unity looks really really dull but this looks to lean more to the former.
Will wait for the remaster, everything gets bloody remastered nowadays.
