Alex. Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Now that is a good point which I hadn't considered at all. In that case, I suspect Americans would be more comfortable at the Emirates than, say, at Millwall, deep into bandit country in Bermondsey.

kairparavel Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I am sure someone will point out that much of the Emerald City Supporters do not work for Microsoft or Intel or that San Jose 1906 is made up of journeymen electricians and welders. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLU-RAY Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The only member of the 1906 Ultras I know works for NASA, but I have gotten the impression that a lot of them are working class. Haven't been super impressed by what I've heard about them, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castel Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I resent being a victim of Benteke even more than conceding the goal for some reason. Fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexal Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I can't see the game but it looks like Arsenal are playing well against Fenerbahce. I didn't expect that after this past weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Ramsey in particular is having a very good game. I've also got no idea what Fox Sports is doing with it's commentary, it sounds like they are commentating from the studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy for him and that the guys bounced back after that ugly game last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Chelsea scraped past Aston Villa with a fair bit of luck - Ivanovic could have been sent off and Villa could have had a pen, for separate incidents. Neither was stonewall imo (though Ivanovic was very lucky not to get a second yellow) but neither could Chelsea have had many complaints if either one was given.Villa look a totally different side to last year, in particular for their mental strength. Last year, whenever opposition scored they were crumbling, this year both times it was the cue to take the game on. They should do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the second? More of Benteke's theatrics. But if the defender's leg is that high you have to take advantage of it I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Notch Balanter Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Willian set to sign for Spurs which is unfortunate but in other news Football Manager legend and star of the England u21s Will Hughes is looking more likely to join Liverpool. If this happens i couldn't care less about who we miss out on the kid is a genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Will Hughes is looking more likely to join Liverpool. If this happens i couldn't care less about who we miss out on the kid is a geniusAlso he looks like a cross between Prince Harry and Electro.If that goes through, selling Shelvey makes more sense, but presumably he won't be first-team ready straight away.Spurs are also heavily rumoured to have all but wrapped up Lamela, which with everything else would for me put them at a stronger position than the end of last year even without Bale.

Faraday Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Yeah, assuming no Bale. Lamela-Soldado-Willian is a good front three.Lennon from the bench isn't bad. Then Dembele-Sandro-Paulinho is a fucking sexy midfield if they go with that.Scraped by Villa. A win is a win, though. Important no points were dropped. Villa to have a good season, don't actually think top half is beyond them but they'll not be in trouble IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Dembele-Sandro-Paulinho is a fucking sexy midfield if they go with that.It'll probably depend on the game but I reckon it'll be Paulinho-Dembele-Chadli for a lot of them, or perhaps Chadli on the left with Willian in the middle (either way I see interchanging between the two).The important thing is that although Willian doesn't score huge amounts, both Lamela and Chadli can (there's a few questions over Chadli as he's taking probably the biggest step up, but he looks pretty useful). Which covers the Bale goals they're losing.And Coentrao looks to be coming the other way, as well, which apart from possibly another CB (though Capoue looks to be intended for that) pretty much deals with the last position there was any question mark about (though it's harsh on Rose in particular). Great window for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Notch Balanter Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 As far as I can see, the Hughes rumours come from Metro, so they're basically nonsense.It wouldn't surprise me if Liverpool were done for the window.Metro reported that a bid is about to be made and Sky Sports News have mentioned interest with Clough saying he has received no offers. What i have heard is that Liverpool will make a bid on Friday not 100% sure what will happen. Hope he comes though he is the English Xavi/Iniesta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Notch Balanter Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Honestly, Metro is less reliable than Twitter, and Sky are prone to forwarding loose rumours too.It would be nice if it happened, but I'd be surprised if it did.I never trust anything other than Sky to be honest and even then i am carefulAnd yes it would be some coo if Liverpool are able to get him in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hope he comes though he is the English Xavi/IniestaWhile from what I've seen of him he looks good, surely it's incredibly early to be saying that about someone who's never so much as played in the top division?
