Deuce

Seems a decent enough guy, but he clearly has no clue how to run a club.

Yeah but they don't even support the professional baseball team that's there. There are also plenty of Mexicans, Venezuelans, and Colombians in Miami fwiw.

It will be after Brazil drops out in the quarters.

USA? dick.

Always like picking an underdog to pull for. Last time it was New Zealand, loved watching their matches.

Yeah Russians tend to be pretty crazy about football. The problem is that they're also crazy in general.

bold.

They're the Lakers of the east. Except the Lakers also have some base support beneath the celebrity bullshit.

I have an odd feeling that Martinez will inexplicably start Jelavic, for God knows whatever reason. Mainly because I'm captaining Lukaku in fantasy.

Baines will bum Debuchy up the flank.

Of course they will. They'll pop bottles and do lines off Sepp's boner in celebration.

Same article, Neil.

Wonder if they'll play a "second-choice" squad, as they did against Wigan. Not that it matters.

Arteta's name was bandied around quite a bit too iirc.

Absolutely criminal. FIFA essentially condoning human rights abuses. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/25/revealed-qatars-world-cup-slaves?CMP=twt_gu

No shame in stealing foreign nationals to play for your national team...

Nobody pronounces either of those words that way man.

Actually worried me seeing him starting. Like Martinez wanted to rest Jelavic or some shit. He'd be a dunce to drop Lukaku in favor of Jelavic, especially considering our CB pairing.

Seydou Keita

I despise van Bommel. Don't think he was that great of a player either, far too reckless. Relied too much on physicality to make-up for his lack of technique.

Glad I opted for Lukaku instead. Saves me some cash too.

I've not seen this one.

That could be another thread entirely. "Insane transfer rumours of yore." Wasn't Steven Fletcher linked with Real Madrid when he was at Hibs?
