Two former Newcastle United targets yesterday completed moves to new clubs. Holland front man Luuk de Jong, joined Germany’s Borussia Mönchengladbach on a five-year deal from PSV Eindhoven.

 

No fee was announced for the 21-year-old Switzerland-born player, who was dropped from Newcastle’s list of targets when PSV dramatically upped their asking price.

 

Since been edited I think. I was just about to tweet him some abuse there.

 

Lee, you're reading this so; You're a fucking spacker mompodite and everyone hates you. :thup:

Martin Lol was right, i think.

 

Such a shame about Ledley though.

 

To be fair even the Sun had that story at the end of the season, was hardly ITK-tastic to say it :lol:

Shame but not surprising, one of the best defenders the premiership has had.

 

I'll be surprised if he's not in a wheelchair in the next 10-20 years with the state of his knee.

this could easy have gone in general chat but it's vaguely football related........

 

riding my bike home along St James' blvd some mentalist had a camera on top of one of those keep left bollards at the corner of said boulevard and barrack road, and walked into the middle of the yellow box there, posed (obviously with SJP in the background), then went back to his camera (obviously self portrait on timer). fucking nutter!

 

also gates have been fitted to barrack road, about level with strawberry place and between SJP and the black bull in order to close the road entirely for when the olympic matches are on. absolutely fucking mental and at what cost ?

Danny Higginbotham, Rory Delap, and Kenwyne Jones have all played for Southampton, Sunderland, and Stoke, the 3 PL clubs with red and white striped home kits.

 

Probably the least thread worthy of this thread.

EA SPORTS JOINS TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR AS OFFICIAL VIDEO GAME PARTNER

Posted 19 July 2012 4:00pm

Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club today announced they have agreed to a three-year partnership that will make EA SPORTS™ the Official Video Game Partner of the English Premier League club.

 

“We are extremely excited to join a world class football club like Tottenham Hotspur as an Official Club Partner,” said Matt Bilbey, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Football, EA SPORTS. “This is an opportunity for us to create a deeper connection with their passionate, global fan base, and use our game as a platform to engage Spurs supporters all season long.”

Speaking about the announcement, Daniel Levy, Chairman, Tottenham Hotspur said, “Over the course of the past few years we've seen the international profile of the Club rise significantly, especially across key markets in Asia and North America.

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to partner with EA SPORTS, one of the world's leading entertainment brands, and provide them with the opportunity to reach our global fan base."

Tottenham Hotspur will visit the United States for a three match pre-season tour that will see them play LA Galaxy and New York Red Bulls on July 24 and 31, respectively, as well as taking on Premier League opponents Liverpool in Baltimore on July 28.

While in New York, EA SPORTS will be conducting 3D head scans of Tottenham Hotspur players at Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central Station. This will enable the FIFA development team to capture high-quality and authentic 3D digital player models for future versions of the FIFA videogame.

Over the course of the partnership, Tottenham Hotspur and EA will develop a range of initiatives to entertain and engage fans both at White Hart Lane, the club’s home pitch, and more widely across their media channels. This includes exclusive videos featuring Tottenham Hotspur players, the ability for fans to predict match outcomes using the EA SPORTS game engine, and exclusive tournament footage taken from the club’s Training Center to determine the best FIFA 13 player in the squad.

In addition, EA SPORTS will create a special Tottenham Hotspur game packaging sleeve for FIFA 13, which fans will be able to download from the club website (www.tottenhamhotspur.com) prior to the games launch.

At selected home matches over the course of the season, the EA SPORTS Dugout, a mobile gaming trailer, will be on-site so fans can play EA SPORTS games.

Tottenham Hotspur joins seven other English Premier League teams that have become club partners with EA SPORTS. The other club partners are Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton, Fulham, Newcastle, and Manchester City.

ADIDAS AND MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER ANNOUNCE WORLD'S FIRST SMART SOCCER LEAGUE

 

adidas micoach Elite System – debuting at the 2012 AT&T MLS All-Star Game – to be integrated across Major League Soccer in 2013

 

NEW YORK July 19, 2012 – adidas and Major League Soccer today announced that MLS will integrate the adidas micoach Elite System league-wide in 2013, marking the world's first "smart league." The announcement comes ahead of the 2012 AT&T MLS All-Star Game, which is set to be the world's first "smart game" integrating the micoach Elite System.

 

Beginning in the 2013 season, all 19 MLS clubs will use the data-tracking technology from adidas, providing coaches, trainers and players with real-time performance metrics including heart rate, speed, acceleration, distance, field position and, for the first time, power.

 

By measuring every move, heartbeat and step and relaying that to a coach on the touch line in less than a second, the technology enables a better understanding of the physical and physiological impact on the team, or any individual, during a game or training session. From analyzing trends to preventing overtraining and risk of injury, the micoach Elite System will help maintain optimum levels of player performance week in, week out throughout the season.
