Posted June 30, 2013 What a fucking game. 1st half has been amazing. The atmosphere in Brazil is immense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 1, 2013 Damn good game. What the fuck happened to Spain? They should of just got a bunch of high school kids to play for them for what they did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 1, 2013 Yup that was a great game. Spain just looked so off the pace and hardly had any time on the ball. Brazil just didn't tire at all. Guess the backing of the fans really helped them out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 1, 2013 Not surprised really. Spain's cavalier attitude to defending was always going to bite them on the arse eventually. Nigeria could have beaten in the round matches if they were capable of finishing, Italy should have beaten them too in the Semis. They're going to be exposed against the best teams if they don't sort that out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 1, 2013 Well confirmation of the worst kept secret in this transfer window, Yaya Sanogo joins Arsenal on a long term deal. Well there is another out and out striker for us, but here's hoping we can get Higuain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 7, 2013 Arsenal rebuffed after audacious £30m offer for Liverpool striker Luis Suárez £30m? They taking the piss? It could be just to get the ball rolling. Arsenal haven't got a chance in getting Suarez and I don't think they really care either. However, they are after Higuain. If Real Madrid put a bid in a or Suarez and it's accepted, then that might free Higuain to go to Arsenal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 8, 2013 I wonder what the market value for Suarez is? obviously a very gifted player but it would be reduced in account of him being a total psycho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 8, 2013 Suarez to Arsenal will never happen, regardless of the transfer fee. Suarez hates the FA so why would he sign for another club in the BPL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 8, 2013 It's most likely just a ploy to get Madrid to stop fucking about with Higuain, if it's actually true at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 9, 2013 Benteke has handed a transfer request and Bent is being linked with Newcastle. I can see one of them leaving for sure. Both would be disastrous for Villa. If they could get big, big money for Benteke, then that would be great as they could reinvest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 9, 2013 Benteke's been there for a year, has 3 left on his contract and asking for a transfer? Absolutely ridiculous. Why sign a 3 year contract if you're going to want to leave so soon. Players have no respect for the contracts they sign anymore. I think if they submit a transfer request or make it obvious they should buy out their own contract before moving.

Players have no respect for the contracts they sign anymore. I think if they submit a transfer request or make it obvious they should buy out their own contract before moving. All the contract does is ensure that the club gets a hefty fee for the player. So, if he does go, Villa will get at least 20 million for him, imo. I agree, though. Contracts don't mean an awful lot these days. Aside from a few players at Barca, virtually anybody is available to be bought. I reckon Spurs will go for him. They would be mad not to. Premiership proven and they need a striker or two of their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Premiership proven and they need a striker or two of their own. Benteke was the one player I really wanted since the end of the season. Some sort of Defoe plus say 10-15m might be a good deal for both teams - Hopefully Vertongen and Moussa have put in some good words about us when they've been during international breaks... Not to sound as manically optimistic as Dazzy but if we do get Benteke (and having already signed Paulinho) then one more decent winger and our team will be looking really great.. (That said if we buy Benteke on top of Paulhinho that'll already be an outlay of £40m+, I'll be a bit concerned they'll be buys pre-empting a bale sale) Sometimes I think I definitely prefer all the stupid transfer gubbins and rumors to the actual football Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 9, 2013 I think Warrior really done you guys in the design stakes. I mean the home kit is classy as hell, every other kit though has been horrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last seasons home kit was one of the best i can remember, and this years is very nice aswell. Totally right about the away and 3rd kits, though. They're pretty bad.

I think they need to look at doing something different up front. It's by far the weakest aspect of the team. Goalkeeper is great, defence is good and the midfield looks good, too. It's just about getting the goals now. Still, it looks like Liverpool are strengthening well and Chelsea look like they mean business. City have bought two good players in Fernandinho and Navas. The Top Four is going to be really tight next season. I'm nervous about how we're going to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
