I said it when RM tried to bid for Gomes and Barca beat them out, what does he do?
Must have the most subtle set of skills ever.

he must be amazing in training and a really great guy
cause even valverde still wants to keep him

and valverde really hasn't made too many mistakes yet

 

[dvsonm]

We’re actually selling them wow lol

[sonoftony]

great listen if you haven't already

 

[Kimchi Papi]

I was going to post that it feels like the ussf really hasn't embraced Hispanic players/coaches like it should. That's why I think the next USMNT should be Hispanic.

 

[jape]

can't blame gonzalez for wanting to play for mexico
or anyone else

i wouldn't want to play for the US either

 

[rolaholic]

Not even mad

The owners comments were hilariously outlandish

Man said Roms mom went to a voodoo priest who saw him leaving for Chelsea

 

[jape]

rafinha to inter too ... honestly would rather see denis suarez leave
so if everything goes as planned
rafinha, turan, vidal, deaolfeua, and mascherano will all depart in january...hopefully gomes too but havent heard much yet

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Di Marzio talking about Real targeting Salah

 

[rolaholic]

Dont buy this for a second ,Wenger is gonna die on the job of old age







I remember the hype when he first came to Arsenal...that went nowhere fast

 

[jape]

ancelotti at arsenal is hilarious
def won't be winning the league anytime soon
would be a favorite to win the europa league though

and i remember when cats were saying how good coquelin was

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Xavi is such salty dude...

So Barca's attempt to get Seri was scuttled because as they were finalizing the deal for €40m, Nice said they wanted €50m... Apparently PSG was messing with the situation that cause the price to be driven up at the last sec. Barca then moved for Paulinho...

if i remember correctly paulinho was being looked at before seri... seri came at the end of the window
and PSG tried to sabotage us and ended up doing us a favor

Xavi is a kook. I think Xavi is the one who recently intimated that Qatari's don't need democracy because they like being lorded over in their monarchy. I guess civil rights aren't for everyone.

FTS Football trying to start ****.

That's the exact same quote from a ten year old Xavi interview from the Guardian.

He actually specfically referenced Liverpool when he said that (steady boys) but as I remember it he was talking about the culture in England in general, not Real Madrid.

 

[rck3sactown]

Landon to Leon?

 

[jape]

xavi can say whatever he wants...especially when it comes to style of play
because of him and iniesta we've witnessed the most beautiful football anyones ever seen

 

[rolaholic]

Those Xavi quotes are def from a recent interview cause FTS aren't the only ones reporting his words.

He was taking a shot at RM's style of play since Mou's time,even though they were the first spanish team to finish with 100 points in a season and still hold the record for most goals in one league season

You're probably right. It wasn't verbatim as I remember but definitely the same sentiment.

But hey if I were Xavi I'd view everyone else as Neanderthals too.

Maybe it's the culture, I don't know, but in England you're warriors. You watch Liverpool and Carragher wins the ball and boots it into the stands and the fans applaud. There's a roar! They'd never applaud that here.

Chelsea vs Arsenal again today.

Check the line ups. Wenger is on one. About to be out of 2 cups in a week


Sucks to see coq go. Always liked him. When he’s good he’s good but he is too inconsistent and injury prone. I wish he could have scored at least once

Man.. once that billion dollar tv deal hit and all thes clubs had money to spend , plus all these coaches (pep, klopp, conte etc) started coming to England I knew **** was gonna get worse for arsenal.. but now it’s actually happening The only 2 coaches I could have seen actually making a difference are pep and klopp and now neither will ever happen
