Uh-oh. Stevie G said 'pool are fucked if Suarez goes.

 

[Aoami]

he's crap!

 

[Marc]

he's crap!

Costa? Hes not. He has struggled for service last season and pretty much crafted all his goals by himself. He could be a shrew signing.

 

[Marc]

Who am I kidding, not like hes gonna get service from Henderson etc

 

[caLLous]

I prefer to think of him as a vole signing.

[Lethul]

And I think Aspas is regarded as a lunatic (not a cunt though) aswell?

They journos gonna have a field day if Suarez stay

 

[caLLous]

Crests of the Premier League

Perfect for Liverpool then

 

[Billargh]

Did Costa throw a ninja star at 1:15 in that video?

 

[caLLous]

I wonder if she's a gooner.

Season starts tomorrow. Awaiting confidence, despair, hope and disappointment as Northampton look to get automatic promotion then play like crap lose position and then lose in the play offs again.

Or just a straight up relegation battle!

 

[CorNokZ]

Don't get your hopes up Raven. We won the league last season and have started out by losing our first two matches, putting us at the bottom of the table...

 

[Billargh]

I'm predicting a promotion for Northampton and a relegation for Wolves!

 

[Raven]

Give it a couple of seasons and we will be playing Newcastle twice a season

Forgot you were in my towns league, Fleetwood

Not likely, you'll probably pass us while we're free falling down the leagues

Gareth Bale deserves better than a small club like Tottenham Hotspur

Transfer news: Arsene Wenger calls for calm over lack of transfers at Arsenal - but claims current squad can compete for Premier League title

There's so much in this article, it's difficult to pick out individual quotes for piss-taking. But I'll try.

Every other team in the Football League (all 91 of them) have changed their managers since Arsenal last won something but apparently that's an advantage for Arsenal. It has been a LONG time since they've won something though so a lot of those other teams have had their current managers for a good few seasons (if not more).

...we have a base of young players, players who started in the Premier League with us, like Wojciech Szczesny, Carl Jenkinson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

That is why what we do is unique. Look at our competitors, who in the last 10 years has started for them in the Premier League and is still there now?

Who cares? How is that important in any way?

It is important to have a strong start and raise belief. Last season when we lost Robin van Persie we had a sceptical environment around the club. We need the crowd to be behind the team.

How do you think it's going to be if you don't sign anybody?

There are two kinds of people who hate to lose, and those who love to win. I personally hate to lose because that is a failure when you lose a football game.

“But I love to win as well because you could think the style of play I love has triumphed when I win the game.

Um...

I like the guy, I really do, but his days are numbered, surely?

 

[Raven]

He will be gone by Christmas at the latest.

Which is a shame, I like the fact that he is manager at Arsenal. The comedy strops while wearing the willy coat are worth it alone.

 

[soze]

With a year left on his deal I don't see him getting sacked. If the club did not sack him after the 8-2 at old trafford it will take a hell of a lot to make them sack him.

But I am sick to the back teeth or hearing how we don't need to buy players. If we can't afford someone then fucking say it. If we can't afford to compete that is one thing but for the club and manager to keep saying we can afford it only to buy no one and stand still is stupid. It makes the fans angry and it gives every other club in the league ammunition. His bullshit about good players coming back from injury is so played out. We never go season without injury in fact we have already lost TV for 8 weeks. I have no doubt when asked about buying a defender at the end of the month he will say "we have TV coming back from injury and he will be like a new signing!"

 

[caLLous]

Nothing more than rumours in the Italian press but if we sell Bale we're apparently talking to Roma about a 50m EUR deal for Lamela AND Pjanic. I fucking love Franco Baldini!

 

[Shagrat]

OMG we've bought someone!!!!
