Wilshere will never be going to dat soulless club
Yeah but I don't think that means he's fantastic, just the best of the bunch
He's pretty good. Nothing special. He might be very good, but he's not very good positionally, he's not very strong... got some pace to him though.

His little boy inside him will be bathing in money.

I'm not saying he's fantastic, but he's definitely an England international.
Because, contrary to what a consortium of ignorant spenks will tell you, he isn't that great. And his fitness is fucked.
I've never laughed more than when people were arguing against Johnson being England's number one right back.
The best was when he didn't make it into the team for the Euros, then he went to Team GB and played shit.
Tyler Blackett from our youth set-up could well have the potential to be a good LB if what I've read about him is true.
3Sixty will want a word with you.
Believe more in that kid than Gibbs and Bertrand.
Fo' real
Whilst he has to be as defensively as strong as he is offensively, I think if he had an injury prone season you would be calling a #GibbsFuture.
I never particularly rated Richards. But I read articles singing his virtues and wondered if I was missing something.
If you've never rated him you aren't missing anything, quite the contrary.

Lets just all agree that the English national team will be up to much hilarity and over hyping, who becomes the next right and left backs won't matter that much, England winning as many trophies as their backbone Arsenal will.
They'll do a Chelsea and park a couple of buses at the World Cup and win the whole thing.
But we'll stop losing players to Barcelona!

Denmark won the Euros in my FM (not controlled by me) by purely drawing against teams, was both hilarious and amazing.

I wouldn't mind if this happened.
I would quit football and watch Darts.
No u wouldn't. You'd pray at the alter of Wilshere and hope he is forgiving.

Diego Buonaoette to Palermo on a loan deal with option to buy? Yes please. FM legend! La Liga GAF knows how he has been doing? Can only be imagining badly if he considers going to fucking Palermo.
In much worse news, Dossena is apparently a done deal to Palermo too. Nice to see the management buying in though and do everything to avoid relegation. Also rumored is Borriellol

Mata has been fucking incredible this season.
He wouldn't be able to play in CL though, right?

Villa, yes plz. Top, top striker.
Nope but Bayern are going to ruin us with or without villa

You got Giroud, Chamakh and Bendtner coming back, don't get greedy.
They've got Thierry Walcott as well. I don't see why Villa would get more playing time with Arsenal than with Barca. They certainly won't play as many cup games as Barca.
wat. Thought you were a United supporter
Can't stay away from us, can you?

David Villa? Didn't Alex Mcleish manage them not so long ago?

Two seasons sounds like a good amount of time to see his capabilities. I think he'll get 2 years at least. He can iron out a few things - maybe add a couple of decent players and offload any excess baggage as soon as this January. Did West Ham mention anything about their plans for Carroll recently? Was the loan meant for the whole season?
If there's one word I'd describe Rafa's tactics with, its 'systematic.' The formation is the same every week. Only the player behind the striker has real freedom. If there's a hole in the other team, it will be exploited, even if it means taking focus away from the star players. If there's a hole in the team when the other team has the ball, it will be plugged. Wingers have to defend, fullbacks have to attack, centre backs have to be positionally sound, midfielders have to mark, pressure, tackle, pass and keep play ticking over. There is no room for anonymity and indiscipline. Players have to get used to being rotated, so expect a few whinges from idiots when he leaves, as we got from Benayoun and Crouch
He bought Garcia, Alonso, Reina, Agger, Skrtel, Aurelio, Kuyt, Torres, Arbeloa, Johnson, Mascherano and Benayoun, as well as turning Carragher into a brilliant CB. They're good enough for me
I wanted him to stay around, but Rodgers just doesn't fancy him, and is unwilling to sacrifice his tactics to see if it could have worked out. I liked him for reasons I can't explain
With Chelsea I noticed him switching a few players around more frequently than AVB or Di Matteo. WOW @ the list of players he bought. That is a great list! I am curious to know what your reasons were for liking him hahaha.
WIPEOUT HD/2048 BRO! Also - we have some very decent Kart games this gen. Modnation Racers is quite awesome and the new Sonic racer (subtitled All Star Racing Transformed) is *great* fun! Also Criterion is kicking ass as usual with their Need for Speed games (Most Wanted and especially Hot Pursuit).
AGREED. SONY LIVERPOOL NEEDS TO RETURN </3
Likewise by the way - I had it for many months now but finally got around to starting it and boy, it is *GREAT*!!!! There is a bigger emphasis on exploring than I remember in previous Uncharted games, the treasures are well hidden and are very fun to find! Great graphics, fun story, excellent voice acting as per the usual with this series, great gunplay, etc. You'll like it at least!
I miss Barca btw! A week left to go!
I'm also looking forward to the Castlevania game, even though it may be mediocre by the look of things
Nice photo there dc, you look like a cheerful fella
Favorite CFC player this season!
Post more! I PM''d some Arsenal supporters here and they said they used to post before the purge. Why that meant they couldn't post now, I don't know.
I can't wait to see United try to stay the course against Spanish DNA.
This is the football thread isn't it?
We can talk about BAE's imminent rise from the ashes of last season if you like. Soon his glorious hair will return to our starting XI and his dragback/dribble combo shall bamboozle opposition players and his mighty longshots will smite our enemies.
None can best the combined might of Huddlefro and Disco Benny's heavenly barnets.
Nah, Bayern are going to bottle it against Arsenal, I can feel it in my bones. Dat Germany syndrome.
I swear I made this same comment today. I mentioned 70s specifically.
I post mainly during the games and about the Fantasy Betting League
He's still on twitter under a different name
That hair... that look... he looks like a Liverpool player from that period.
