Ask Ben Arfa and Cabaye. Ah, Ben Arfa. The kind of guy who wouldn't dream of slagging off his manager and/or current club in public. http://forum.bodybuilding.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1831341&stc=1&d=1242858412

Ask Ben Arfa and Cabaye.

Fuck off with your optimism man. Going down.

Henderson (14, 43) Bramble (og 56) Beachball (87)

I still think you'll finish in the top 10.

£14m offer for Dann will fly in in no time.

It's what you get when you play pretty atrocious defenders.

Suarez will be the most helpful addition, the other 3 will improve them in small parts. Is Meireles still rumoured to be going? Let their woeful pre-season form last as far into the season as possible, please.

Who are they missing then? Suarez, Meireles....?

why? Can't pass, can't take corners, can't take free-kicks. Gobs off all day long on Twitter, and disputes the managers decisions. Previously convicted of behaviour such as stabbing cigars in teammates eyes & punching people on the training ground. Why would you? Can't pass? That other fella was right, southeners know fuck all about football. Just let him pretend Barton's footballing ability doesn't exist so it can fit his agenda.

Jeffren went to Sporting.

Yeah. A good one by Yorkie.

Group G.

What are their aspirations, VI? Waffa Cup?

Why are they so annoyed? Surely they knew he'd be off sooner or later.

Well if Henderson is worth £20m then I'd say Johnson is. Not really the issue though. Would you be willing to fork out £20m?

Fair enough, you obviously saw plenty more than me. I just didn't see him to be a secure defender. He's 25 like in a few months so I wouldn't say he's a potential player anymore per se.

What I saw of him was good last year. Unsurprisingly looked more comfortable going forward but he can certainly do well for a top 10 team. I'd certainly have him but mainly because he's not Tony Hibbert.

Arsenal supporting mate has raved about him. Horrible injury regardless but to someone so young is rotten luck.

What we want from Cesc is not what we want from Thiago. Thiago really isn't cut for the Xavi role, he is more a #10 than a playmaker. I don't see Fabregas being cut out for the Xavi role either.

Am I right in thinking Rossi would go for a little less? Seems like decent business for Atletico if they can get Rossi. Lower wages as well I'd assume.

ffs Also, Gosling can suck my contract.

Any more commentary hilarity after the 2-0 mark? Any more cracks slipped into on the far right canal?

It's a fun name to say.
