Village Idiot

I think somebody showed him Pulis' playbook in between the two stills.

Espanyol have sold Héctor Moreno - their best defender - to PSV for €5m. That's yet another key player sold this season after losing Sergio García, Casilla, Vázquez and Stuani. That's why they can't have nice things.

I'm still amazed at how relatively mediocre ManCity squad is given the money they have poured into it.

First weekend and already sinking without a trace. FML.

Neymar has mumps. What's up with him and weird preseason illnesses? He'll be out two weeks.

A comic book publisher.

The glimpses I caught were decent; there's a whole new coaching team (thank god) and it's going to take a while until they get the team to click, so that was an encouraging result against a good side. f***er Long equalized right before I blew my birthday candles.

Those "stripes from the front, white shirts from behind" kits are truly unfortunate, though.

My brother and some friends showed up with a few beers to celebrate my birthday so I'm only half-watching. The glimpses I catch don't look too bad. EDIT: Except defending.

It should be on BeIN Sports Connect in Spain if you can get that. Yeah, but I don't have it. It's not fully available yet. I probably will subscribe to them once they are.

I'm subscribed to a channel that shows one of the PL games being played at any given time, and they have chosen Arsenal. There's a brand new one that allows you to chose whatever game you want, but I'm not subscribed to it... yet. EDIT: Nevermind, I have seen it carried by another, obscure, sports channel that comes with my package too. Yay!

Unsurprisingly, Spanish telly is gonna show Arsenal-Wham. Today's my birthday and I wanted to watch this

Bielsa, so predictably unpredictable

Robson tried to sign him, yeah. We ended up with a bald Brazilian instead.

Hard to say... Rooney has a bit more to his game but Shearer was definitely the superior striker. I guess I'd have Rooney in today's game.

Well, this has been shit to be frank.

What's so wrong with players using their first names on shirts in the PL? Happens all the time down here, not a big deal.

Wat. http://www.que.es/archivos/201208/supercopa_atletico_gol-640x640x80.jpg

I'm slightly nervous about missing out on Rooney if he's gonna lead the line. Fuck, I hate this game.

I'd rather drop one of Berahino/Mitrovic por somebody like Defoe and upgrade the other one, but I can't find any striker in the 7-8 range that makes me feel good.

Unless I blink one more time: Krul Azpilicueta Bellerín Clyne Walcott Özil Hazard Cabaye Depay Benteke Mitrovic Subs: Butland Francis Baker Berahino

Damn, just read that looks like Giroud has barely played in preseason, tempted to hoy Mitrovic in there and use the money elsewhere.

Feel my team is all over the place now. Ah well, I'll just try to not lose too much ground and drop the WC after deadline day.

And Wales would have three.

Rondón was great here. Decent goal ratio and contributed a lot to the play with his physicality and the fact he is decent with the ball on the ground.
