My favourite part of the game.
naturally we lead for 30 minutes, then got the 1-1 in 2 minutes before the end.
fuck this.
fuck this.
Unlucky mate.
Di Maria on his way to Man UTD for a reported fee of 60-75 million quid depending on the source. They're breaking the British transfer record to sign a player who is world class but nonetheless not what they desperately need. Rojo isn't enough to add strength to their defence, Smalling, Jones and Evans are abysmal in general. Apparently Van Gaal is lining up 2 or 3 more signings this week.

What about Vidal ? i've heard Manutd are interested in him.
Nah everything says they've forgotten about him.
Arsenal, 7/7 nice. Great Alexis.
Ludogorets Razgrad and Steaua Bucarest was something..... funny haha.

Those consecutive slider tackles at the end by Arsenal players, was really something interesting to see
Nervy finish, the ref lost the plot giving about 10-ish cards to both teams and there's no doubt Debuchy's sending off was harsh. Either way we're through and that's all that matters, Ramsey and Debuchy may be suspended for the opening games. The draw for the group stage is tonight.
Group E, same as last year, but without plzen x).
Paris SG - Barcelona is interesting, really.

The desperation from United is real lol
already behind 0-2 against cologne.
we play with the exact same team we played with last season. we really want to go to league 2 i feel.
also no new defensive players despite our defense being easily one of the worst in any of the top leagues. great transferpolitic bobic!
what we really need is a better manager.

Holy hell, what a match that was. Chelsea 6: 3 Everton. I watched until 85 min, so I missed the last goal. Still, watching the match reaching 5:3 was thrilling.
Stoke edging City at the Etihad, UTD bland as usual apart from Di Maria. Interesting weekend of football so far, I genuinely believed Everton could trouble you but seeing as they messed up in 5 mins against us this doesn't seem unsurprising.
lol they actually delivered
Spurs, please
Chelseas last signing. It seems a lot like the Demba Ba signing, except with a lot less desperation.

Liverpool brilliant against Sp*rs, Balotelli not looking lazy for once.
Meanwhile in Leicester we play out a rather deflating 1-1 draw. Sanogo looks like a mildly talented giraffe, Ozil is still being played out wide and potential injury concerns may have mounted. I hope we pull some magic before the transfer window ends, something like signing a decent striker, or this vibe will most probably continue.

Leicester gave Chelsea a hard time. They really pack a punch whenever they get their chance.
Van Hinkel has also joined AC Milan along with Torres. With Essien also being an AC Milan player, I now feel like cheering for them lol

That's the 3rd Goal Keeper of France...
That fail omg.

It's okay, he's just the 3rd GK. Watch Spains 1st GK.
The newest Manchester United's formation
They seem to be completely ignoring the positions that they need to improve which provide the foundations of the squad and appear to instead be going for the "offense is the best defence" option.
Mind you we're not doing any better, it's deadline day and we need to reinforce three key positions and Arsene is in Rome refereeing a charity match for peace. Jesus tittyfucking Christ.

I don't understand. You guys knew which positions were lacking (except the striker) and looked to sign from the very beginning. You guys also have the money now. Are they really out of options?
I haven't really watched Uniteds matches, so I don't know their problem. Though, the gap of their name value between offense and defense is hilarious lol

Apparently Chicharito is now at Real Madrid, good deal since Morata left, super sub is there !!!
Falcao at Manutd, uuuuuuuh

Oh ya and go help out your Top 4 rival right, United? Welbeck to Arsenal. That solved the hole Giroud has left with his injury.
I think it's absurd to even consider UTD as our top 4 rivals at the moment. They're still relying on Fletcher and Cleverly in the centre and Jones, Smalling and Evans at centre back.
On Welbeck, I'm quite happy to have him over. I wanted us to sign him a few weeks ago but United were unlikely to sell to a Premier League rival, now that both clubs are desperate we finally sign him. Honestly as long as we don't have to play Sanogo up front for 4 months I don't give a shit, Welbeck is a direct upgrade from him and that's all that matters. He's got decent finishing, his shot conversion rate is impressive, his link up with teammates is alright and he can hold the ball and at the very least control it while running unlike Sanogo. With the sort of service our midfield provides he should slot in well.
Meanwhile on twitter:
I wish there was some way of telling Arsene to stop playing players who aren't comfortable on the flanks out wide. JUST FUCKING STOP IT ARSENE FUCK. It's driving everyone in the fanbase mental, I hope someone in the stands throws a placard at him reading "Stop playing Ozil and other central players out wide you moron. Sincerely, every fucking gooner.".

Let's hope Welbeck changes that. Seriously after such a positive beginning to the transfer window with four quick and decisive signings, Debuchy, Ospina, Sanchez and Chambers we failed to pull anything in the last month or so to reinforce crucial positions in our squad.

Lol we're getting fucking trashed by argentina it's not even funny.
I would like to say that we are even now, but it could be too much. So..... ggwp
It's a friendly, it's peanuts and noone should take the result seriously. Above all I dislike the world cup final comparisons but we have to have the obligatory stupidity.
if i might add that almost half the world cup squad didn't even play, or was rotated in/out.
also the two goals directly after the half time were stupid and should never have happened like that. we were completely asleep.

Why Real Madrid selled Di maria? lol
Because they were getting a lot of $$$$$ in return which they need to turnover the amount they spent on Rodriguez and they have so many players of Di Maria's position that it wouldn't make a difference if he left.
I liked how Miro, Phil and Per were given a guard of honour before the friendly:

Falcao's champions league fobia continues. I swear he makes his best effort to avoid the competition.
I think he got to play a season in the CL once when he was still playing for us, but still far from the Falcao level we know.

daily reminder that goetze still sucks at football.
I'd just like to make it known that I'm ARSENAL TILL I DIE and we WILL win the pl this season.
We might be off to a shaky start with 2 draws already but I think we have the advantage over man city this weekend, looking forward to the tottenham later this month though. I think we got chelsea after them but then a few easy games to test our squad after that.

I like you.
Lost 0-1 against Albania at home, hahaha, please kick P.Bento out of the national team. Incredible how we've had managers like Queiroz, sacked after getting to the last 16 in a world cup (and eliminated by Spain, who ended up winning the whole thing), but Paulo Bento, after a very pale and disappointing world cup with the worst outcome that would be elimination in the group stages still leads the team to nowhere.
I don't think anyone is blind enough to demand a portuguese NT with the strenght we had 10 years ago, but it's ridiculous how we keep showing up like a bunch of amateurs with the occasional individual moment of inspiration, we can do a lot better than that.
