Sho Time

Since when was Sterling Archer the face of ice cream? Just need to replace 'delicious ice cream since 1892' with 'THAT'S HOW YOU GET ANTS'

M'Vila signed on season-long loan. I wonder how long he can be arsed to play for this time.

If you watch the footage, you can just about make out Mapou saying something like "I had more of a challenge against Shola in training you daft dwarf"

A nothing signing at present. I hope this doesn't conclude our business now that the profit from last season was spent.

Seemed like it was from something Mapou said to him. Weird behaviour from both players but Messi's reaction was ridiculous.

Which is why I said a good season in terms of assists.

This. And drop their guard against who they regard as 'lesser' nations.

A good season in terms of assists (12) last season compared to 4 the season previously. As for goals, he's scored 4 in 2 seasons (3 of them coming against the Mackems in 1 game) so he's not much of a threat in that regard. Worth no more than £12m on the back of last season, I doubt he'll be able to build on that tbh.

It was only the beginning of last season we were linked with him for £1-2m.

That's Fer-ly unlucky for the Mackems, he's a decent player.

Are you having a laugh?! Why on Earth would you have Mata wide and not Depay? Depay kills it out wide, coming in from the left. That's how LVG has played in pre-season I believe.

Amy also said she'd get her kit off in Zoo if Bas Dost didn't sign. I wonder if she's going to flash the gash to cars on the coast road if Austin doesn't come.

According to your sig you said Aluko would last season!

Don't understand why we wouldn't try for Januzaj on loan - very good winger, will be on slightely moderate wages too. If I'm right in thinking he can play on both flanks, I'd probably put him ahead of Sissoko who just isn't a winger at all. Him and Aarons would a naughty combo for 6months - a season.

Valencia is listed as a defender, but is actually a midfielder ($$$$$$$$)

I remember arriving late to the game at the 20 minute mark, as soon as I walked in they scored and a fuckload of people around me stood up and walked out. I remember thinking "eh, this is a bit rash it's only 1 goal" until I realised that was their third.

I'd take Cacapa again.... http://i2.chroniclelive.co.uk/incoming/article1425735.ece/BINARY/D1AEF70A-9F20-6EBB-CC60D1A88CD08747.jpg

Decent looking team that, apart from subs who have no chance of playing (apart from Barry, maybe?)

This is why pundits still reckon England are still one of the best international teams in the world. Even funnier that while they can jump high and run fast, they cba to do it on international duty.

I'd be absolutely stunned if Kane manages to perform even half as well as he did last season. He went through that unbelievable purple patch but besides that his form suggested he wasn't much more than an average PL striker. Be interesting to see how well he does - personally, I think Chadli is going to be the main man for Spurs this season as far as FPL points are concerned.

One of the focal points of the AshleyOut protests was 'we don't demand a team that wins, we demand a team that tries' No it wasn't. Perhaps 'focal point' is a bit strong, but this was given plenty of coverage and tweeted by AO, the BBC etc. https://mobile.twitter.com/ashleyoutdotcom/status/594483563887722496

Stan Collymore's PL table prediction for TalkSport was equally as laughable. How either of those tits have jobs is beyond me.

One of the focal points of the AshleyOut protests was 'we don't demand a team that wins, we demand a team that tries'. Obviously there's a line but even still people need to make up their mind over what they want. Totally agree with this.

Nice to see a discussion on Colback instead of the usual 'useless ginger mackem cunt' comments.
