If the deal happens, it means Liverpool becomes an even richer club than Man City, with owners eager to become #1.

The pontential is enormous with Liverpool already big in Asia would become massive in China, any company looking to go big in China will want to be associated with Liverpool so even more sponsorship opportunities etc etc This could be very big

Can we get Ligue 1 added to the OP?

 

[shoplifter]

Can we get Ligue 1 added to the OP?

On that note - I'm much closer to ponying up for FS+ on Directv now that it's confirmed that Ligue 1 is still part of the programming package.

 

[kharma45]

Vidic will be pissed.

With Torres being injured so much he'll not lose any sleep.

The jersey of St. Pauli has been voted the best looking of the Bundesliga:

Awesome thing is that you can turn it inside out and then there's this:

 

[danwarb]

Liverpool: Cavalieri, Johnson, Skrtel, Carragher, Kelly, Jovanovic, Gerrard, Lucas, Cole, Pacheco, Ngog. Subs: Gulacsi, Aquilani, Kyrgiakos, Maxi, Wilson, Spearing, Eccleston.

Glad to see Pacheco starting this one. It's on both ITV4 and LFCTV, kick-off 19:45.

No kuyt?

No kuyt?

Only a few days back from his holiday along with the other World Cup finalists. He should be available for the Arsenal game.

 

[SephCast]

Hey Guys, doing a little research for work. Are there any big events for Soccer coming up in September?

 

[Wessiej]

Only a few days back from his holiday along with the other World Cup finalists. He should be available for the Arsenal game.

Lucky guys :lol.

Here they only had a 6 days vacation, and 3 days later an important match. And 2 players of them where in the final.

 

[Acrylamid]

Am I right in assuming that the Copa Libertadores Finals are the most important games in non-European club football?

Because they will take place in the next two weeks.

Is there any TV coverage of this at all of in Europe?
I'm in Germany and there's no mention of this anywhere in the media, not even at German football websites.

 

[Moundir&Tony>you]

Can we get Ligue 1 added to the OP?

Already asked , nothing ...

Guess having 2 teams in the UCL's last 8 (Bordeaux <3 ) and one in the last 4 wasn't enough .

Cesc finally announces he's staying

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/8889210.stm

 

[xintin]

any room for newcomers? been lurking this thread for 2yrs, I think it's time I participate :lol
if so, i'll be happy to anger most of you with my support of the blues, starting at the community shield~

 

[Plasma]

Can't believe we conceded in 5 to Legia Warsaw, we really need to bring in a new goalkeeper and a center back sharpish.

West Ham beat Deportivo on pens in the last friendly of the season

It makes so much sense; I really really want it to happen.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/8889210.stm

Glad that is finally over. Did I read in the papers today cesc said he is only staying because he is being forced?

I think this will be his last season there.

 

[nny]

First game of the season, first title:

Porto <3

 

[feel]

I really love how benfiquistas usually have this holier than thou attitude always calling portistas dirty thugs, and then today all I see is a disgraceful Benfica side on the pitch, doing some really nasty tackles, elbowing left and right, never kicking the ball out so injured players could be treated... fuck these sore loser hypocrites.

 

[MrPing1000]

All portuguese teams are dirty diving scumbags.

All of them.

But in recent memory Benfica are probably the worst.

 

[CozMick]

Prediction for today // Chelsea 3 - 1 Manure (Community Shield)

Both teams deserve to be booed to fuck after the shambles that was the England performance in the WC.

Rooney, Lamps, Terry the fucking lot of 'em! :lol

 

[British Monsoon]

West Ham beat Deportivo on pens in the last friendly of the season

Good result, and good to see "England flop" Robert Green save a penalty from Deportivo la Coruna, while "England's Number 1" David James lets in 3 against fucking Millwall

Also, good to see Cole get a call-up to the England squad.

 

[flake]

Cmon Chelski! Time to win the most coveted trophy in all of Europe, the Community Shield...

 

[industrian]

We'll get the SPL and at least one cup this year. Hopefully we have a good run in the Europe as well (knockout stages of the Champions League will be fine by me) to help us with our debt.

I do not see Celtic posing any threat this year. Lennon doesn't know what he's doing, their team consists of wreckage from two previous managers and Lennon's "inspired" signings. Whereas the Rangers team, for all we've lost, you have the idea that the players are comfortable with each other and are a cohesive team. But getting a decent striker to replace Boyd will be the greatest priority.

I wouldn't be so sure.

They did sign Daryl Murphy after all.

 

[Tim the Wiz]

Prediction for today // Chelsea 3 - 1 Manure (Community Shield)

I reckon Utd will win - Chelsea are missing some key players - and Chicharito will score.

 

[`Moe Joe.]

daft kopites in this thread.. :lol

 

[industrian]

I don't know who he is, so allow me to not_sure_if_serious.gif this one.

Once my work permit is sorted and I've got an apartment in Taiwan the first thing I'll be doing is ordering a Rangers kit.

The one thing that both sides of the Old Firm can agree on is that our new strips with "TENNANTS" on them look terrible. :lol

 

[Dr Zhivago]

Both teams deserve to be booed to fuck after the shambles that was the England performance in the WC.

Rooney, Lamps, Terry the fucking lot of 'em! :lol

And yet EA are going with Shrek on the cover of FIFA yet again.:lol



I love the font on the back of the new Werder Bremen shirt, looks like it was designed by Bauhaus or something.

However, the less said about FC Koln's choice the better...

 

[`Moe Joe.]

And yet EA are going with Shrek on the cover of FIFA yet again.:lol

Kaka

 

[Britprog]

Is there a neogaf fantasy premier league league

 

[Dr Zhivago]

Kaka

Both actually. World Cup Flop edition.

 

[painey]

Sadly Jamie Redknapp survived the summer and is back to talk shit for another season.

 

[Reneledarker]

Chicharito!

 

[The Friendly Monster]

C'mon United, let's see this out.

 

[The Friendly Monster]

Get in!

 

[Tim the Wiz]

I reckon Utd will win - Chelsea are missing some key players - and Chicharito will score.

Yup.

 

[painey]

Hammers have already won more cups than Chelski this season :lol

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Well that was rather satisfying.

 

[Feathers]

If there was any further indication that the Community Shield is the Mickey Mouse cup of English football, Berbatov scored :lol

Although I'll begrudgingly admit that it was a nice finish. Good game for the neutral.

Hammers have already won more cups than Chelski will this season

Fixed

 

[Chris R]

Going to be a rough year as a Chelsea fan. Here is hoping they finish top 5 :/ New coach by Nov. I'm calling it :/

 

[Error]

Glad that is finally over. Did I read in the papers today cesc said he is only staying because he is being forced?

I think this will be his last season there.

we shouldn't waste money trying to sign someone as a make up for not getting Cesc. We promote a couple of our guys from the youth system, and then get Cesc next year.

Really want to see dudes like Dos Santos and Thiago in the first team. Good players.

 

[anonnumber6]

Awesome start to the season, glad to see Berbagoal score.

 

[MaritalWheat]

Chicharito!

Hilarious goal!

 

[Lunchbox]

chicharito has been fantastic everytime ive seen him play, both mexico and united

this season's reminding me off the "you cant win anything with kids" one. cant wait to see the newcastle thrashing

 

[Cyport]

Brilliant game, some moments could have been better but it's only a 'friendly'. Good news though we have won the:

 

[Brinbe]

Gah, overslept and missed the match! (Fuck 10 AM start times :lol)

But good to see that United won it.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Fucking Chicharito; even he fucks up he scores.
