Either Beans is about to join the elite few like SinnerP with the ridiculous times or dude will suddenly disappear from this thread smh...I hope we don't have to pour out a lil liqor for our lost brethren come late Sept

tbh the start times in HK are pretty nice, 7 pm? 10 pm? comparable to watching NBA on the east coast. Much easier to stay up and watch than having to wake up early for 4 am kickoffs 

 

@SinnerP  is elite tho, always appreciated 

 

 

[rook]

My god wtf man. You fire Carlo for ******* Rafa?!

What a joke man..

 

[rolaholic]

So Carlo's really getting the sack for Benitez?? .

In other news,I'm seeing more sources reporting Otamendi to OT being in the works .

Also saw some stories saying that Pep would assess the LVG's job situation next summer before making a decision on joining Citeh... Makes sense,he did mention his desire to eventually manage at OT in his autobiography

*Fitting

Whaa?? Is that confirmed??? LVG's not wasting any time if true and he could be that rock in the back we've lacked since Vidic left .

Yea bro they're pretty reliable when I come to Argentine players. They reported the Rojo transfer first last year.

Reports leaking that United will move for Sterling Scousers would be livid

 

[rolaholic]

Nice,Hummels staying might be the decision of the Summer 

. Judging from ADM's comments last week,it really sounds like he wants to prove himself with the Reds after a disappointing first season. Maybe another addition to the clubs Argentinean contingent will help him feel more settled down

I'm seeing that every team and their mothers in England wants Sterling,even Bayern is interested 

. Sterling could be a good look if Bale stays at Real 

.

 

[User 37837]

Man the only way I can see Bale leaving RM this summer is if he's forced out from someone like Marco Reus coming in

Fairfield???

@rck3sactown  & @eiddyfouw  [emoji]127867[/emoji]

Yeah, it's not really that bad here... "Lunchtime" fixtures are usually 7/8PM for me and they go on into the night.  The worse are the Champions League matches 2:45/3:45AM, but there are only a bunch of those in a season vs league matches every week.

Ahh yeah, those are the ones I remember being shocked at you staying up for.

West coast kick off times

Either I sleep in early, stay up half asleep or drunk off my *** into Saturday morning at times.

It's only been 2 years since I been heavily doing that since NBC got the rights to the BPL. Before that I was usually scavenging websites that showed replays or only watching Arabic YouTube highlight vids.

I'll probably grow out of it soon. Haven't been in a serious relationship from then till now so I got all the time in the world on the weekends. Occasionally I be getting all sorts of weird looks when I wake up after laying the pipe to tell these thots I'm gonna watch some soccer in the living room

 

[Sinner]

I'd much rather stay up till 3AM rather than get up at 7AM.  PST scheduling is tough.

[Beans]

Sterling wouldn't even take 900k a week to stay according to his agent... And carragher is a knob.. But you knew that already lol..

[heggsy]

Jamie Vardy in the England squad

But no Ashley Young

United fans gonna be hating on Vards even more

 

[User 37837]

Current Rooney isn't that fast anymore. And didn't Robben check in at 37.1 at the WC

 

[mr marcus]

SinnerP where do you live? Those times are crazy! I'm assuming somewhere in Asia

 

[Sinner]

^ HK 

All this chatter reminded me of this...

 

[AZwildcats]

When I was in Saudi Arabia we had some bad start times for the Copa America, I can imagine its even worse where SinnerP is :x

 

[Beans]

So our back up for our 30 yr old english midfielder will be a 30 yr old German midfielder.. Yeah that makes sense

 

[QU!K]

Apparently Hector Bellerin is the fastest at Arsenal

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Whelp, it's official. Xavi will leave the team after this season concludes & go off to Qatar to earn that last little bit of $$$ for retirement.

As heggsy mentioned previously, the success of this campaign is largely owed to Xavi who not only spoke to Messi after the loss to La Real, but he & Iniesta also spoke to Enrique about loosening up a bit from his rigid ways.

It's sad to think of this team without Puyol & Xavi. They were the Yin & Yang for this team for so many years. I hope Barca can win the treble to send Xavi off in style so he can become the most decorated Spanish footballer ever. It would be fitting for such a non flashy player.
