Do you think Messi would leave a club who have helped him and his family for years and years and years for some guy who was his team coach? Why would he do that?

Maybe he senses low team morale and low chances to win any major trophy this season. Maybe he thinks Valverde isnt the guy to do it? Suarez is faking an injury for 4 weeks and everything reeks of bullshit with the Paulinho transfer and rumors that Sergi Roberto may go to England.

Messi still has a better chance of winning a trophy with Barcelona than Manchester City.

I'm just now watching the arsenal and Stoke match highlights.
Did anyone think that lacazette chance was offside?
It seems ridiculous to call it IMO. It's just is toe ffs. How would that cause an advantage to him?

Im pretty sure the ref actually didnt see the offside position

Damn. I mean I like seeing arsenal suffer as much as the next guy but damn.
These refs are annoying sometimes.

 

[dhlt25]

watching the highlights, arsenal didn't play too bad. They had a lot of chances, their finishing sucked tho.

Liverpool game's highlight start at minute 46 lol, is the first half that boring?

Yeah, I thought that

I guess by the letter of the law he was offside, plain and simple. It's hard to see how he gained any real advantage from half his foot being offside though. Was harsh.

Yes.

Palace looked like they weren't that bothered to lose only 1-0 today, and Liverpool struggled to get past Palaces defense, p much until Sturridge was taken off and Salah and Solanke both came on

Shoutout to the La Liga for watching out for us US est timers.

Shoutout to the La Liga for watching out for us US est timers.

Only if the match at 7am for the EPL has like top teams or high implications, i get up and watch it. Other than that i wake up at like 9am to watch Bayern or whatever Bundesliga or EPL match is on.

 

[Blablurn]

The best number 19 we ever had.

 

[BMO = GOAT]

The best number 19 we ever had.

Tolisso is coming along really nice at midfield. I wonder how the midfield will look once Thiago and James come back. Or what rotation Ancelotti puts out. Boateng also returns from injury on the 24th as well.

im also very excited about our future. boateng didnt look good last season. he has a lot to do to get back into the squad. for james its also not going to be easy.

 

[WAR recon zero]

Rotations were the Key to Zidane's play. It's a matter all Bayern players understand this.

Sturridge was poor. I fear the injuries have caught up with him.

The rest of the 11 was not much better. Passing in the final 3rd was ponderously slow. I didn't realise Mane was even playing until 30 mins in.

 

[Pachimari]

Details of James' contract with Bayern has leaked out, and reveals that reports from Spain were much closer than the ones in England.

Bayern have to pay €13 million in two installments for the loan, and the first €6.5 million have to be paid this September. Then after that, they can buy him for €42 million. Bringing the deal to €55 million.

 

[Lunar FC]

Any other good aftv videos to watch besides the usuals?

 

[casiopao]

Napoli offensive power is so scary damn. It is going to be so close race between Juventus vs Napoli in Serie A this season for sure.

Hope that with Matuidi and our 2 new wingers, will be able to support us to reach historic 7 consecutive Scudetto.

Boateng will bench Hummels in no time

Barca clearly think Liverpool are only rejecting their bids to drive up the price. They planted "Plan B" rumors and then issued a deadline. If Barca's offer wasn't so shitty there might actually be a chance of Liverpool caving.

 

[longdi]

Why doesnt barca go for dybla? I remember Juve will allow him to go because of some contract loop hole?

Liverpool are in the driving seat when it comes setting the price. They should as for 120 without add-ons in limited installments.

 

[Stead Fast]

So, today's the big day. Could've been in September, but Barca decide they want to fast forward this debacle, guess I can't disagree with that sentiment. I wonder what Philip's been doing/saying to push this forwards, beyond everything he's already done.

 

[Bersi]

There's nothing like that in his contract,dybala just got the 10 and he's not going anywhere.

Barca comes of here as totally delusional.

Deadline is approaching fast. If Liverpool sell for 80m, does anyone even think they can get a good replacement for the same amount of money in the current state of the market? They would have to spend the money they got for another player that may or may not be a good replacement, two games into the season already.

It will be Boateng with Hummels on important ganes right now because Javi got injured (again &#128529. With a mixture of Süle but he seemed slow against the counter last match

 

[Miggy]

Whew Tottenham Hotspur Vs. Chelsea.

It's going to be a good day.

 

[DBT85]

It's going to be a good day.

Only if whoever wins scores enough goals consumerate with their performance.

 

[Tubie]

Total Chelsea collapse on a Spurs win by at least 2 goals.

 

[brokenbeans]

Can Kane end his August duck?

I fucking hope so because it's all the commentators went on about.

 

[CrayToes]

Would love to see Spurs spank Chelsea. Can see Conte pulling something out of the bag though.

 

[Stead Fast]

2-1 to Chelsea. Spurs to score first, and unlike last week it won't take 3 goals to wake Chelsea up this time. Conte will throw the kitchen sink at them.

 

[Addnan]

League match in Wembley, how excited.

 

[T-Rex.]

Don't think I'll bother with Newcastle's match after watching them play last week lol. The Spurs/Chelsea game should be good though.

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

I think Spurs will Spurs'd this. Really hope i'm wrong tho, can't stand Cunte.

 

[TrueBlue]

I don't feel good about going to Spurs. At all.

 

[cromofo]

I can see Spurs winning this.

They'll overflow Chelsea's midfield and it'll be over. Chelsea's squad is crocked

 

[MikeBison]

I don't buy this woe is me Chelsea have a thin squad stuff. They won the league at a canter and have spent £150million and felt they could get away with selling Matic and Costa.

They should be fine with that.

Still think Spurs will win though.

 

[Jack cw]

Honestly, the last great game from Boateng was the WC final in 2014...

They won the league because everyone else fighting for it apart from Liverpool had Europe to contend with. Chelsea didn't and so had less games to play and more time to train for each individual match. They've lost a striker and bought one and lost a cm and bought one. Barely any stronger than last year imo.

I never once heard this crock about "oh they can't win the league because they have Europe to contend with" until Liverpool nearly won the league in 2014. Before that, City, Arsenal, United, Chelsea never had a problem winning the league and also getting it up for Champions league games.

In fact, are Chelsea last year and Leicester not the only times to ever win the league whilst not being in the CL. Blackburn too, but special circumstances tbf.

I'm not sure where Boateng stands right now internally. My guess is he will be benched more often than Hummels, but there will be a lot of rotation.
One thing is for sure: Bayern doesn't have any problems with its defense.

Dropped from 1st to 4th in the Neogaf fantasy football league. So begins the steady decline.

I'm happy to be midtable, but are we agreed that the bottom 5 are relegated and can never step into this thread again? Gotta keep up competition in the league.

That may be true, but you don't really believe that this is what your defense is capable of, do you? And "defense" was kinda unspecified as it is a word with broader meaning. I meant specifically your defense players.
Right now you have to implement Tolisso in your game - besides a couple of injuries and what not -, thus it's not really surprising that not everything is going well.

[texhnolyze]

Is Hazard available yet?

If not, then Chelsea will be stuck in the middle like in the previous fixture. Willian is kinda soulless these days and Pedro is inconsistent.
