Ikon

Think it's a good opening game to have; be able to see right where this team is. You going, Ikon? I wish i was going. I live in Sweden, but i'll definitely try to go once this season at least.

Opener at home against a quality side, first game back in the Premier League and a lot of players that aren't experienced at this level. I think we will look very nervous in this one, at least for the first 30 minutes. We'll work hard but I can see a lot of misplaced passes early on, as well as players struggling to stay with the tactics that was planned beforehand. I can see us growing in to the game as the game goes on, unless we concede a couple of goals early on. Excited about the game but I'm starting to feel a bit nervous already when I think about it

We probably pondered for too long..

What made him close the window?

Option to buy?

Rafa will only stay beyond this season if the fat c*** delivers what was promised. He won leave now, but no f***ing way he'll stay after this one unless things drastically change for the better. He's not gonna have "next summer is the test", he'll leave and rightly so. That would be me done, finally. Only reason he stays now is because he doesn't want to leave us in the shit, deep shit where we'd be even more so if he left. He likes the fans too much.

I dont think we're even close to signing Perez. Rafa probably has mentioned it in public only to put pressure on the "board". Sign some f***ing c***s now!!

:frantic: GTFI if true! Almost feels better than a star signing!

Not only that but if she did happen to walk out we'd take her back home on the bus instead of a taxi. Or as she thinks she's about to walk home I follow her from distance, monitoring her wetness for an hour, pondering to walk up to her to talk. Then I finally do it, she sounds excited and interested and offers to split a cab to go home with her but I hesitate and start haggling with me only willing to pay for the starting fee. Then a couple of Turkish guys comes up and she goes with them to Fenerbache.

Like f***ing waiting outside the night club for two hours after it has closed, hoping that a stunning female walks out alone, horny and ready to walk with you home. It aint gonna happen later because it's late..

Why couldn't we be lucky and get fucking sold, to fucking anyone, I'd take my chances, can't get much worse...Best chance ever to make something good of this club under Rafa and his willingness to commit to a long term project. Instead the cunts make it as hard as possible, damn rats.

Shelvey feeding him and/or Gayle is a sexy thought. (getting way ahead of myself too early)

Where was this ginger noodle head when we played Verona? The thought of him getting sold...

Care to elaborate? He said that he likes him as a player and knows him well. (Licker asked after our last game if he would rule it out)

I'd be very very happy if this goes through. That type of money usually gets you absolutely nothing.

Sign some fucking players you cheap bastards. Perez for 12m euros is nothing.

yawn..

God i fucking love that intro!

Please happen! Feels like he's been here for like 6 years?

Wonder where Colback was today?

wtf!

Aye agree with this, most of his better performances last year came on the right and without Richie. It's only Verona obviously but I still feel like it's a positive sign. Yeah not the strongest opposition Still looked very comfortable and was better than Ritchie, who himself wasn't bad by any means.
