    I blame Pulis more than anything as it sounds like Palace was pretty forthright on their budget constraints. I would wager there's Championship sides that spend more than them. I don't really understand what he was thinking was going to happen and if anything his spending at Stoke shows he's...

    Hah, lead Palace from relegation and then get sacked. Poor Tony Pulis..... I'm assuming Palace's odds for relegation just sky rocketed.

    I just worry that us Yanks are too like our English brethren in anointing the next kid with any promise the next great hope for footie in the country. He may turn out to be great and for the USMNT I hope so, he certainly isn't PL level at the moment though and I just worry he's going to turn...

    I'd be happily surprised if he amounted to much. He admittedly has pretty limited technical skills. His athleticism is without question, just I don't think he can really dribble by anybody or offer anything other than pace at the moment.

    I think you're going to have to try to out score Real Madrid this year as I can't see how you'll keep that front 6 from scoring. Made it look easy today though Sevilla is no where as good as they were last year with all their player losses.

    Do you have a source for the other 45% only costing 11m pounds? Here's the best breakdown I've found so far: I was looking at another Porto transfer yesterday (Hulk) and Porto confirmed that any deductions from the transfer fee are done on the buyers end. Which includes the 5% solidarity...

    You'd have to think ManC is going to have to sell someone now as Mangala didn't cost 32m pounds. His actual cost is closer to 55m pounds as the 32m figure quoted was just for Porto's 55% ownership stake and EPL rules don't allow for 3rd party ownership. That's assuming a standard agent fee and...

    Coutinho might have been off-side at the end but his initial move to start the play was again just fucking ridiculous. http://giant.gfycat.com/FancyOddFlyingfox.webm

    I don't think even City's B team wanted to be there, what a weird game. Will keep the Gooner hype train running for a few more weeks I guess, where are our new RR Arsenal fans to celebrate this momentous occasion? If Coutinho can be consistent this year then he's going to take the EPL by...

    I doubt they'll give up the cupcake games anytime soon. Those schools are going to still need the large payouts they get for the beatings and the games still sellout even though the game is almost a formality unless your playing Michigan. It's just free money and makes your record look better...

    Early rosh isn't cheesy, it's basically a staple to good lycan play. The trick is as you go higher in mmr to account for the fact that people will anticipate your rosh attempts by warding with sentries so you can't just smoke in untracked. You then need to wait for a distraction or a deward...

    Why is that surprising? Even as a Bears fan I don't expect them to win the Super Bowl as the D has way to many question marks. There would need to be a remarkable improvement for them to even challenge for anything other than a wild card spot. The offense will still be good sans the Holmes...

    Well RvP did get hurt, maybe you meant him being out for the whole year. As I've already said I'm going to reserve judgement until the games start counting. I will say Moyes must look at ManU's first 2 months of games this season and cry himself to sleep at night. Everton at home should be...

    Why do you think Mourinho was saying that? Did he not want to win the CL or Prem? Go re-watch MOTD starting in January when they were first and everybody was saying Mourinho had done it again. The only thing I can figure is you Brits love chugging on some Mourinho man meat. Not to say he...

    But you don't know that. On average 50% of transfers fail. Even when ManU was winning the title every year you could list big money spent by Rednose that didn't work out. We don't know how any of the new signings will actually do in the Prem aside from Fabregas which then again I'd say we...

    I've given up on explaining to people why LFC won't fall off a cliff. My brother-in-law is a die hard ManUre fan and acts like last year never happened, talking to him about it is laughable and I can only imagine what its like for people in the UK. Guess we're going to have to prove it all...

    I almost always go mek first on Necro then dagon, I'll only start thinking about Ags once the game hits the 40min mark and when preventing buy back matters the most. Edit: I also get treads first as switching between Int and Str early is pretty vital on Necro to pump out those extra pulses...

    There were studies by Andy Staples for SI either last year or the year before in that the recruitment of 4 and 5 star rated players consistently led to a higher average win total as well as those players having a very high percentage of being drafted in the NFL. That's not to say your Aldon...

    Depends on your definition of better. As already noted you can't replace Suarez, there are LFC fans that think we need a marquee signing for this and no matter who it would be sans the two already mentioned they won't be Suarez. With that said the "team" can be just as good or even better not...

    The thought that Chelsea were going through a transition is hilarious and I can assure you at the start of last season there was no ManU fan thinking they wouldn't challenge for the title let alone finish top 4. Go look at Pks posts in last years thread were he couldn't even admit that as a...

    No, I'm not having a laugh. We'll see when the games count for real but he was a foul machine who in a real game would have been carded if not sent off, gave away the ball a handful of times, gave away a what should have been a penalty and was completely overrun in midfield. Shaw's nickname...

    MUFC WORLD CHAMPIONS!! First time I've ever seen Herrera live, that really cost 30m pounds? Shaw and him don't seem like a good allocation of funds. Then again I hope to god that is the last time I ever seen Glen Johnson play for LFC again. A whole pre-season and 2 years of complete shit.
