@HEGGSY
 looks like I'll be making my way to Leicester on August 22nd   


OMG I am so happy

Hey, that's my birthday weekend. You spurs boys better not ruin it for me

Also, Bournemouth away for us on August 29th? Yes please

 

[eiddyfouw]

Not the greatest start for Spurs with those first 4 games....could get ugly turning into 4 straight losses...But I have a feeling there's some points in there for them...

This fool Arturo Vidal. Drunk driving and crashing his Ferrari with his wife in the psgr seat. Dude is lucky to be alive and didn't kill anyone

Man U Dodged another bullet with that one

rck3sactown on the subject of tickets, there's a few Spurs fans who drink where I work regularly, who go to pretty much every away game. I'll ask next time I'm in if they can get hold of any spares for our game. Unlikely with it being at the start of the season and with the lads being local to Leicester but worth a try if you're struggling.

Back in '13, his Chilean team mate Alexis crashed his Audi R8 coming home from a win against Espanyol. He said he lost control & crashed. He had a friend come pick him up & left the car there where the police found it the next day.

Looks like the richest man in Africa, Nigerian Aliko Dangote (net worth $21.6 b USD) is still interested in buying Arsenal. This story popped up back in May but apparently Dangote is in the middle of $16 b worth of investments he & his team are working on. Once that's done, he's apparently going to put his full attention & resources into buying Arsenal...

If Pogba wants to stay this year... Could be good for Barca!

Yea if Pogba doesn't move this summer it's really safe to say he's going to be moving to Barca within the next 2 windows after imo.

I'm still hoping this is just some way to get Real to pony up more money for his wages, but it really seems like from the rumors and my own intuition that dude wants to play with Barca. And if that's the case, I don't blame him.

 

[Thierry Henry]

Pogba and Memphis are down here, I'll probably run into them

 

[rolaholic]

I hope Woody goes after Ramos hard for Perez trying to hijack Otamendi .

Schneiderlin

 

[dlo13]

Vidal. SMH.

Looking at spending a week in the UK. Probably next March. Need to poke through that fixture list.

Liverpool's opening weeks. They're trying to get Brendan fired...

Earthquakes win.

FML.

Kiffe straight up John Terry'd that last pen 

He was already in Preki's doghouse too |I He definitely needs to be starting on the outside back though in USL play, can't see that happening now. Hopefully they can pick up some points this weekend but 3 matches in 8 days is :x

Fellow chop, portista and car guy for the win

Leicester City Football Club have today notified Tom Hopper, James Pearson and Adam Smith that their contracts with the club have been terminated, with immediate effect, following events in Thailand.

Good riddance. Got to say, very proud of the club for just straight up sacking them.

Lesson learnt boys, they'll be playing league 2/conference football for the considerable future.

Man I hope so. Pogba and Neymar on the left side would be magical. As much as I love iniesta he isn't as consistent as he needs to be. All the minutes played really is taking a toll on him. Can Pogba or rakitic play as cdm? I know tHey have experimented with rakitic a couple of times. I am just wondering because I feel it's important for busquets to get rotated more. He plays a lot of minutes in a very demanding position. I think Luis Enrique's rotation policy in the beginning of the season has been undervalued. Barca have looked extremely fresh throughout the 2nd half of the season.


Also who are Madrid looking for this summer other than ddg?...they have been relatively quiet.

 

[d3si]

- Aston Villa have completed the signing of Micah Richards on a Bosman free transfer.

- Former Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong has rejected the chance to link up with compatriot Louis van Gaal at Manchester United and is now on the verge of signing a new deal at AC Milan, according to the Tuttomercatoweb.

- Ross County have confirmed the signing of Fleetwood Town midfielder Stewart Murdoch.

- Chelsea loanee Gael Kakuta looks set to finalise a permanent move to Sevilla after the two clubs agreed a deal in principle.

- Queens Park Rangers have signed former Stevenage striker Jo N’Guessan, according to The Comet.

 

[d3si]

- Juventus has agreed to a deal with Atletico Madrid to sign striker Mario Mandzukic this summer.

- Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin wants to move to Manchester United this summer and will snub a move to Arsenal in favor of the Red Devils.

Rakitic played CDM in the WC last year & did it rather well however Croatia was better off with him in the attack. Rakitic's biggest asset is that he can play any of the midfield roles well. Pogba could be CDM but he's also better off in the attack. Both of these guys are very versatile.
