It's a good deal for us, especially as we sent Savic the other way as part of the deal. He just hadn't impressed at all.

I made a joke to a Spurs fan that they had effectively lost Adebayor as a player by signing him permanantly. Shame, really, he could have been seen as a really great player I think.

[!@#$%!]

wtf, is the prem on hiatus or something? i see replay games up to sept 3 and nothing else coming until sept 15. 2 weeks off for pig roasting or something?

btw iliverpool arsenal was fun to watch, fucking suarez is so talented but so annoying haa haa and mang he missed some good goals.

so watchu zink of cazorla? he was on my euros fantasy team but fucker wouldn't let him play

[Bertrand]

Yes, the Prem is on leave.
There are national games in Europe for your next favourite tournament, World Cup 2014.
No surprises for the first games, Germany, Italy and the rest won; Spain had a friendly and will kick off soon enough.

The players who made it without an injury will be back to the Prem next week - I don't think I spotted any casualty, though to be fair, I was mainly focused on the French side (and its frail flanks at the back).

Fantasy League : I've just read that Eden Hazard had caught a cold that will last 6 months; drop him; drop everybody but Villa players.

[!@#$%!]

oh shit yeah i saw the matches listed but i was like-- germany vs. faroe islands? who wanna watch the fucking faroes (no offense).

alright yeah cool. thanks man.

Fucking bollocks. It's a scientific fact that a cold lasts for no more than a week; two weeks in extreme circumstances.

Liverpool have fucked themselves by getting rid of almost their entire goal-scoring threat. Suarez misses so many chances and tends not to create that many for anyone else. Apart from that, and the fact he's a cheating little fucker, he's one of my favourite players right now.

The big debate is over them loaning Carroll to West Ham. He's only played an hour for us so far but he was a revelation. I've always liked him, even when people were laughing at his rubbish form for Liverpool. I so hope we end up keeping him but there's talk of Liverpool recalling him in January - although I'd be really surprised if they do. right now I just hope his hamstring injury doesn't keep him out of action with us for too long.

Cazorla looks excellent for Arsenal and seems to be working really well alongside Podolski. I hope both do well if only to prove Arsenal have a future without Fabregas, Nasri and Van Persie.

HA HA HA HA NO

maybe i'll watch the highlights

[demonrail666]

You didn't miss much, unless you're Jamaican. Dempsey scored pretty much from the kick off but USA then sat back and basically invited Jamaica to score, which they did, twice. From what I've seen, USA play much better when they're underdogs. When they're expected to win they seem to switch off.

[SonicBebs]

i think liverpool will struggle this year

Suarez is a great player but he misses too many good chances. they need a proper striker so why they got rid of Carrol i will never know

West Ham have done well getting him.

but man utd have done better getting Van Persie.
pretty sure they'll win the league this year

[demonrail666]

As with Carroll at WH, a lot will depend on RVP staying fit and in form because I don't see too many goals coming from anyone else at MU. I'm still backing MC just because they seem to have better cover and, in Tevez, someone who could easily be challenging RVP as top goalscorer.

Totally agree about Liverpool, though. A complete shambles who so far don't look any better than what I've seen of the teams earmarked for relegation. I doubt it'll stay that bad as the season progresses but it definitely doesn't look like they'll be challenging for anything significant this season, and then the question will be if they can even keep Suarez.

[TheMadcapLaughs]

very much looking forward to real madrid vs. manchester city next week and chelsea vs. juve. who do yall think will come out on top in these two matches?

[demonrail666]

I really wouldn't want to call either. On paper neither English team should win but they're both such bastards to beat.

has kagawa played yet?

[demonrail666]

Yeah, and he seems pretty good. I actually forgot about him.

I really hope Terry plays against QPR tomorrow. It's gonna be the absolute mother of all hate-fests.

[h8kurdt]

Well THANK GOD the international break is over! There doesn't seem to be any difficult matches for the big teams BUT the fact that Van Persie was taken off limping at his international, Kagawa having back pain and Rooney still injured doesn't bode well for Man U team.

And will Liverpool FINALLY get 3 points? I suspecting a draw.

fucking ESPN3 has dropped Bundesliga coverage. so i'm afraid i'll no longer be able to keep up with it unless i add some cable coverage-- still not sure if $40/month will justify now that i have prem + UEFA coverage--- but we'll see (sorry glice)
