Why Costa will be the key piece in Mourinho's title plan - Goal.com

As usual, far too early to tell - let's wait until the transfer merry go round has come to an end.

Referring to the graphic above: that awkward moment when someone feels all happy with themselves because they've succeeded in having a dig at Man Utd, only for the basis for their dig to be blown out of the water; not to mention, Man Utd make a shedload of money every season. Ha ha.

I wonder if this haircut will affect his heading ability from now on.

Man City may omit a foreign player - ESPN FC

Quite the problem we've created for ourselves, whoever gets omitted certainly won't be happy... and I see it being Caballero, shame, but the trade off could be that he starts in all our CL and cup games.

Jack Wilshere's smoking was bad enough but his lack of progress for Arsenal and England is worse - Darren Lewis - Mirror Online

 

[thedon5]

He simply has to push on this season or he won't get close to the level he was at in 10/11. Will be hard as there doesn't seem to be a role for him in the team which fits him very well.

Premier League ticket prices are pure greed, slams Gary Lineker | Mail Online

Disgusting.

it's not really like many clubs are pocketing the extra money though, is it?

it's generally used to improve squads. so calling it greed doesn't really fit. The vast majority of clubs live barely within or slightly beyond their means.

The issues isn't the greed of the clubs, it's the environment which means clubs have to stretch themselves as thing as possible to attempt to survive/compete/improve.

liverpool playing an even higher line than last season vs roma today. crazy stuff. have stifled every roma opportunity and have taken care of every ball looped over the back line. and that's with COATES in the starting xi!!
