Expectation auto pilot adjusted, changed course to rock bottom.

We are putting too much stock in Debuchy wanting to come to us, and hoping he pulls something of a Ben Arfa and plays dirty to get the transfer to go through. Problem is it looks like he showers at least once a day.

We live or die on getting the best possible deal. The club has been raped so badly in the past due to upper managerial ineptitude when it comes to sales and purchases, they have gone to the other extreme. Breaking policy breaks credibility for future deals, in their eyes.

Eh. what has the club done wrong, Lille are changing the goalposts. We eventually bid the 6m Euro's they want, they then want 8m Euro's. did they originally want 6mill euros ? 6m pounds, 8m euros I thought.

Just more hardball. They will sell, we will just have to pay a little more. 7m euros will do it, wish we would cut the shit a pay it tbh.

Just puffing out his chest. Don`t bait the Ashley.. expect this one to drag on at least another couple of weeks.

Andy O`Brien signs with the whitecaps, solid signing for them. Comes across very humble in the interview. http://www.whitecapsfc.com/news/2012/08/wfc-add-o%E2%80%99brien http://www.whitecapsfc.com/news/2012/08/new-whitecaps-fc-defender-obrien-my-resume-means-nothing

Some really solid signings from Arsene this summer. Agree about the back line though.

Congrats Stiliyan.. keep well!

Mike mark II This is indeed the shame I live with everyday.

Used to hate watching football until I was 10, Match of the day bored the living shit out of me. Never understood why my older brother and dad used to watch it. Dad got me a liverpool poster in 1991, so I think I said I supported Liverpool, then for some reason I supported Everton, despite not knowing or even liking to watch football. Still not sure why I picked Newcastle, might have been I liked the subutteo team my brother had. Oddly though I subconsciously supported the teams that Beardsley played for while he was there. This is my true shame.

Upside is he is a dm that can cover the full back positions too. Ideal and means we have some cover for tiote being away at the African cup or more prepared if we do eventually get a bid big enough that we sell him. Not sure what the plan is with bigi and abeid who have both been pegged as dm's in the past, can see abeid more as the deep lying playmaker sir bobby always saw hugo as. if we get vurnon we will be sorted in that area.

Hope so, not holding my breath though. Did he grow his dreads back or his hair still short? Think that is the deal breaker tbh.

Nobody is bidding for him today, we are in the clear. Will sell him tomorrow for 12m.

Poor Leon, all the best for a quick recovery.

Bellamy and giggs hold this woeful team together. Great finish from Sturridge. Defense looks dodgy and we are really missing a decent dm to sit infront of them.

Thought he had a few nice touches, spreading passes and turns. But overall way off the pace, which isn't really a surprise as he is behind most others in terms of fitness.

Rodgers in "I am a big Twat mode" Liverpool look shit in pre-season, Rodgers realizes maybe its not a bad idea to give Carroll a try, especially as he looks good in pre-season, maybe we should keep him.

Pavel Harper was at his comedic best today. Fine effort.

Text book from Raylor...utter class though. Marveaux is the sex. Well impressed with Braga tbh. Thought for a lot of the game they looked better than us. Especially as this is only their second pre-season game. Not sure how full strength they were though. Really happy with our pre-season and the opposition, think it is setting us up very nicely for Europe. Can't believe they cut the trophy ceremony though, shocking.
