Took me a decade to find this thread... was stuck about 8 pages in and I felt like Tom Hanks in Castaway.
Anyway, i'm fed up of this PSG... coming into the game and blowing everyone out of the water in the transfer market. It's ruining the game.
... Oh wait
BTW Great to see the footie thread re-gaining promotion!
My season ticket turned up the other day. Almost time again.
I don't know if any of you remember but I said I was going to LA and perhaps taking in an LA Galaxy game, and I did indeed do so.
It was an interesting experience. The stadium itself is nice enough, not very big and it was nowhere close to full even though it was on Independence Day and everyone was off work. There was an expected amount of cheese with Mexican waves, Robbie Keane face masks, terrible songs, and a bloke dressed as a dinosaur trying to save penalties at half time.
The football itself was pretty decent, although given the garbage I watched live last season, it probably seemed better than it really was. Galaxy lost 2-1 to Philadelphia (who had Freddy Adu playing for them), and you know who didn't play. He'd apparently got into a fight in the previous game...
Is FIFA taking the piddle? 
So the England squad are the third best in the world?
1st Spain, 2nd Germany, 3rd England ... Italy 6th, Brazil 13th
Scott Sinclair on the cards apparently... Barcelona are going to be sh*tting their pants.
We have the cards as well, but they send us a new one every year even though we don't change seats.
As a bonus, it's the German super cup on Sunder evening. The cheating Bavarians will play our heroes from the Ruhrgebeit.
Blimey. We appear to be favourites for the Championship title. I'm not sure I share that optimism.
It's just been announced that Fabrice Muamba has retired. Good luck to him.

Yes - its very sad but just glad he's still with us. Fingers crossed for the new season

Thrashed yesterday but hopefully a freak result or it's going to be a long hard season. I'm quite pessimistic but hopefully it's a blip.

No Paul Lambert... no PL status...
You do now have the excellent Josh McEachran ... at least!

No Russian crook's money laundering, no Chelsea at all!

Cooking the books, eh?
Bit lost with our transfer business at the minute... Mancini doesn't seem happy and I find it hard to believe that when he and Marwood sat down Roberto said,
"I want Sinclair and Rodwell"
Though Rodwell did play well the other day apart from that one error.
I think Rodwell is a really good prospect - surprised some of the pundits are suggesting his signing won't add anything to City.
I understand the Williams winner was a bit special.
How did McEachran play on his Boro debut?
Right! I'm off to the game. Behave yer bit selves!
It's tricky to figure out if this is a decent start to the season or not.

I'm definitely enjoying the season so far, my team doing very well indeed.
Lawro tipping Norwich to go down again! 
Might be right but he tipped Norwich to go down to League Two three years ago after two games, so if he's consistent, Norwich should be Champions League winners in two years time! 
What the hell have we done to deserve this?
