Romo 21 Posted August 30, 2013 Loving what we are doing in the transfer market, Saldado up front with Chadli, Lamela, Townsend and what soon looks to be Christian Eriksen just behind. Then Paulinho who I love and is my favorite transfer so far a long side Capoue/Sandro/Demebele. I am literally jizzing everywhere, most excited season as a Spurs fan I have had. I also hope we destroy Arsenal on Sunday. AVB building an army!!! Have to be title contenders this season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bangy 19 Posted August 30, 2013 AVB building an army!!! Have to be title contenders this season! When we first started to buy I was thinking that we would just be a sure fire top four, now I am thinking that we can win the league. I normally go against the big expectations most Tottenham fans have, however this year I am confident we could possibly win the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BradyFan81 404 Posted September 1, 2013 Arsenal takes care of business at home vs Tottenham. Olivier Giroud's off to a great start this season. And I don't think David Moyes could of gotten off to a worse start as manager. Huge win for Liverpool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I don't think David Moyes could of gotten off to a worse start as manager. Huge win for Liverpool. Ok so Arsenal won but Tottenham had the majority of possestion they just couldn't finish. Considering that we have 7 new players in this team that need time to gel and the performance I am more than happy with how things are going to be. Hurts we lost to them but we are the better side and will finish higher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BradyFan81 404 Posted September 1, 2013 You did not have the majority of the possession until the last 10 minutes when we took out Walcott for the extra defender and stacked the box. Arsenal was firmly in control for the first 80 minutes and if Monreal didn't suck and could tap in an easy goal then it would have been a 2-0 win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had 57% compared to your 43, two more shots though one less on target, please tell me how that was not not majority of the game. Urgh an this is why I hate Arsenal fans...

BradyFan81 404 Posted September 1, 2013 I don't know what you're arguing. That Tottenham should have got the win/draw or something? Arsenal was the better side, and possession was 50/50 until the final 10 minutes when we just focused on not conceding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Romo 21 Posted September 1, 2013 Ozil to Arsenal is picking up all across twitter, sky sports reporting it aswell, Bale is going to be on £300,000 a week (around $465,000) which ought to piss Ronaldo off because he'll want to be the highest paid player.

BradyFan81 404 Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Wow if we could get Ozil I think we can compete for the Premier League title. Please make it happen Wenger Edited September 2, 2013 by BradyFan81 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick 791 Posted September 3, 2013 Absolutely shocked Ozil left Real Madrid. Disappointed, mad, etc. If anything Di Maria is too similar to Bale so he should have gone, not Ozil. Apparently Ronaldo isn't too happy about the departure. I'm not surprised - I'd be upset too if my friend/assist machine left. Gonna have two massive egos collide in Bale and Ronaldo I think. Congrats Arsenal - you just pulled off the deal of the summer. Attacking midfielders may not be what Arsenal need, but he's a world class player and you guys just got a lot better with him in your team. Ozil is my favorite player so it sucks he went to a rival. According to reports he preferred a move to United, but they weren't interested. Idiots. As far as my club goes, I'm happy with the business we conducted during the summer. Got rid of some dead weight, loaned some players out, and improved our weak points. Most importantly, we kept Suarez. Oh yeah and....TOP OF THE LEAGUE!

I can see Ronaldo being upset over the fact he's not the highest paid player now aswell and will want to be equal or on more money than bale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The yellow card accumulation rule helps keep the game clean. Otherwise, you'd have players taking cheap shots late in games having nothing to worry about once the 90 minutes is up. The downside is we've seen big players miss big games because of it. In last year's CL final, Bayern and Chelsea were missing three players each that were heavily involved in the tournament leading up to that game. It's a good rule to have in place I suppose, but I'd prefer if maybe for tournament finals and what not you get a clean slate so we can see each team's best starting 11. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand the principle, but it seems excessive to me to have a yellow card hanging over a player indefinitely, seems like they could accomplish the goal with a somewhat looser rule, say the suspension comes if you get two yellows within five games, or wherever you want to set the benchmark, it just seems like the card should clear at some point also, apparently I didn't get a good look at it because Besler's yellow (which is keeping him out of the Mexico game) was even worse: calling that a dive is an insult to dives Edited September 9, 2013 by oochymp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maverick 791 Posted October 4, 2013 twas a good week indeed. arsenal looking in prime form. cant recall if i predicted it on here, but im not surprised in the slightest. ozil is my favorite player and any team he's on will significantly improve. its no coincidence that as soon as ozil hit top form and him and ronaldo started connecting that madrid started to win titles again.

Sarge+ 3,436 Posted October 4, 2013 I don't have a team, but I do want to start learning about the game. I was going to go to Argentina next summer, but a better deal came along in Colombia. Soccer is still huge there, though. I'll want to be able to talk about it a little bit with the people there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted October 4, 2013 ^You should check out Arsenal... You kinda have that Mav aura about you. lol, j/k. Eto'O gonna be replacing Torres this weekend. Gonna get that illusive first Chelsea goal. BOOK IT! Although it is painful to watch younger guys like Lakaku score goals for other teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
