Liverpool bid for Costa = Suarez leaving?

History tells us that is usually the case!

 

[Brap]

Lower leagues start again tomorrow! So excited.

Oh football, how I have missed you.

Dempsey going to the Seattle Sounders lolololol

 

[Imanalt]

ugh dempsey already plays like hes sure hes easily the best player on the field, it wont help when he actually is... would have been much happier for him to stay in the premier league

 

[shade]

good start to the season, sly late goal to give us the win against brighton (who we never beat)

glad mackail-smith wasnt playing

Arsenal come from 2 goals down against Napoli to manage a draw, also missed a penalty but eh. I know Napoli is a pretty good team but this is what happens when you don't sign anyone over the summer..

Also Galatasaray beat Porto 1-0; Porto missed 2 penalties lmao.

 

[reyscarface]

Hunh, are you trying to say Arsenal are a superior team than Napoli and the reason they tied instead of "winning" was no signings from Arsenal? lol

Yes.

 

[reyscarface]

Arsenal fans are the new Liverpool fans, cant wait to see them not make UCL this year.

Except we don't pay millions for atrocious players like Liverpool.

You can't actually say that Napoli's goals were particularly good goals; the first was a terrible error by Jenkinson, the second a stupid decision to come out by whoever the hell was in goal.

 

[No Luck Involved]

Lol Flappy at his old tricks in goal. Sigh... Wenger buy Cesar ffs!!!

But in all fairness I thought we played well overall, had more possession and created some good chances. Napoli had good possession in the first half but was dangerous on the counter. Jenkinson was horrific, but Gnabry did well. Nice entertaining match I thought! Tomorrow I think we'll get to see Cazorla and Sanogo!

Also if you weren't part of the fantasy league last year the code is 46542-230169. Also Grant Holt scored for Wigan last night <3.

The U21 squad lol. also lol spuds are bad

 

[SuperScizor]

Swansea are going to do well this season, I reckon.. Alex Pozuelo and Jordi Amat seem very good. Tottenham 4th place if they keep Bale. I hate to say it but I think Liverpool are going to be somewhere up there.

tbf livermore and fryers at cb were always gonna have issues with falcao et al

 

[SuperScizor]

Drogba has done it again! :D

 

[No Luck Involved]

Tottenham are title challengers if they keep Bale. They haven't got a chance of top 4 if he goes. And he's going to Madrid.

And Drogba did what he does best.

In some good news for Arsenal fans: Forehead's having a medical at Roma!

 

[Dubby]

Aww, I liked Forehead :(
