Supposedly he's lining up a move to Napoli (thank God).
Addition by subtraction for sure.

It could be worse. My team have played three and lost three to start the season, scoring 2 and conceding 8. We lost 2-1 at home today to the only other team in the league as poor as us (on paper anyway). We are fucked.

I know what you mean, and I'm definitely still living the dream. Gets harder and harder to pour hard-earned in though when the returns get smaller. Our natural level is first division and a return to that is inevitable in the long term, hopefully can punch above our weight for a bit longer yet though.

Pretty depressing seeing that last minute goal go in. Had we scored the penalty and brought them out some more I think we'd have gone on to win but I get flv's point about going for it more when we were playing against 10 men. Unfortunately Allardyce seems to live by the Mantra "make sure you don't lose before you win", and look where that gets you.

Some first week of EPL comments

Southampton's #11 tadic is really damn good - he'll keep them up. Shane Long 20 mil pounds, I like long but don't see paying 2x as much fur the guy, he costs the same as Kroos WTF. I like how they played today

City are boring as hell, hate watching them. Wanna smash nasri's teeth in. I think there is still an English player on their squad somewhere

West Brom - big baggies fan, hated the irvine hire, but they played okay. They look to be threatening relegation.

Newcastle. They need more french dudes.

Arsenal are like the Rams DB's giving receivers that huge cushion, they need a world class striker - we all see it, and yet they go get Rabiot from psg yet another attacking midfielder. Anyway in Wenger I trust. Community shield!!!

Liverpool wil miss saurez seriously, rogers going after falcao and cavani is proof. their spending with that saurez windfall has been 100x better than avb, but you could see how they are missing that canniblistic attitude
Great pass by Henderson to raheem

Tottenham put themselves back 3 years thanks to avb - but i think pochitino (sp?) will get them playing well.... Eventually maybe

Man United. Love the fact they are down and it's gonna get worse before it gets better, no champions league haha, means no vidal, no di maria. Europa league! Amazed by how after sir alex departs players like cleverly, valencia, smalling, et all suddenly suck

Chelsea - someone is gonna punch mourinho in the face, my money is on Eden hazard. They are gonna be at the top regardless, they remind me if the 49ers

Everton good luck. Love Lukaku

Gary Monk is going to surprise fools this year with swansea

Shaving cream on grass during free kicks is whack

QPR, West Ham, Crystal Palace - it's better I just play this video clip

Excellent win for West Ham yesterday and some decent goals to boot. I just hope he keeps Zarate in the side over Nolan.

 

[ScotsRam]

The Staggies have played four and lost four. With Bradford going down as well I'm hating life just now.

In other news, Super Mario signing for Liverpool?! Did not see that coming. I think he'll do well.

I had to laugh at that result. The Celtic result was equally wonderful. And the Staggies won a game! Good times.
