Thanks for that valuable contribution. Really worthwhile to regurgitate a year-old twitter joke.

You know what, I'm actually glad I posted it solely for the reason it annoyed you enough to actually reply with a message like this, job done!

Guardian saying Liverpool bid for Diego Costa....

So that's why you post all this s**t on here - to annoy me - glad you have such worthwhile goals in your life.

Ah no I only posted it here as a bit of light hearted humour seems its pretty negative lately, I didn't know it was an old joke, but seems you got your knickers in a twist and replied with a smart arse reply I'm now glad it annoyed you if that's the attitude you have.

Happy Friday!

Rumour sounds like bull IMO, Wan is a Chinese surname so I doubt he comes from Korea

Going to the Emirates cup tomorrow. Expecting to hear the "spend some fúcking money" chants ringing loud and clear.

I'm only going to see Eboue anyways.

make sure to wrap a load of cardboard - cereal boxes will do - on your torso like they do in jail so you don't get shanked :eek:

Aren't those sites con jobs that just link you to illegal streams that are free anyway?

short answer = no.

long ans. = there are sites like you're on about but these ones aren't them, they do the streaming themselves and the quality is far far better than the free ones.
The free streams were pants the last time i was using them, these type of sites offer proper HD streams & i've watched them on a 42" TV without issues, though i usually don't bother doing it.
There's a thread on these sites here on the soccer forum with loads of people swearing by them.
I'll be honest and say they aren't 100% perfect all the time and then if it's like that you feel more fúcked off than if you were using a free one (even though you're paying very little) but that's only a small percentage of the time. they're worth trying out anyway to see for yourself, even a day pass but you'd be as well going a month for all the price it is

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 02-08-2013 12:14PM

Yeah we were using my friends brothers account to watch streams for the Lions from one of those payed sites and the quality was excellent and much more reliable than the free ones.

I might consider using one this season if I don't get Sky etc. back in the house.

ulinbac · 02-08-2013 12:17PM

Anyone see Ian Wrights article (well quotes) on the football section in BBC

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23539678

Though we need to sign big players, we are not that attractive with big names in our squad. This is probably the main obstacle in trying to attract players.

I know people will say Wilshere, but since his comeback from injury he has not fully proven himself. He needs a full (majority) season to prove his ability. I think he is over-rated atm because he is English and the English media will do this with most English players and because he had a good spell before his injury, which was a while ago. He had sparks during the season last year but not consistent and some of his passing was poor. That said he was only just back from injury.

Players don't always come back as good from injury. For example (forgetting about CL), would you rather play in a team with Bale or Wilshere?

In the Gustavo chase (if rumours are true about wanting to sign him!!), I would only sign for Arsenal if there was an agreement that other big name players (like Suarez) come in during the Summer and if not I could leave next Summer for the same price.

keano_afc · 02-08-2013 12:20PM

We should have had these streams sorted in June, but now we're left picking up the rubbish ones coz all the best streams are gone.

This forum is getting to me

TheGunns · 02-08-2013 12:24PM

We have to go in for Gustavo, looks like Bayern have said he can leave. If Wolfsburg get him then either we're nuts not to go in for him or he would rather play guaranteed 1st team before the World Cup

He is exactly the type of player we need to sit on front and protect the back 4, I would be absolutely dumbfounded if we are not in for him at that price.

what is he like with the ball?

because if he's not that good, he'll not be signed

Mickeroo · 02-08-2013 01:18PM

Capoue is availabe for even less than Gustavo, Cardiff (!!!) had a 10m bid accepted. He's a pretty highly rated player that we've been linked to in the past and young too. Now maybe the lack of interest from other big clubs means his stock has dropped considerably but it's depth we need in that area of the field not a world beater.

Between Gustavo & Capoue I think a decent DM is very gettable at a relatively cheap price. Having said that though I'm not sure we're even in for one, we get linked with DMs every season and never buy any (Diarra must have been the last one?), though the Bender bid would suggest there is some interest there.

Never used this site before, but it seems to suggest he's pretty damn good with it

So many clubs with so many scouts and only a deal with Cardiff can be done? You really have to take that on its merit and think he is just not up to that level.

Technically very sound, 36 appearances for Bayern last season who are arguably the best team in the world at the minute so at that price I think he would be a great addition to our team.

“If you can give me names who are better than the players we have compared to the players we have, I am ready to talk about it.

“For me, I’m in a new situation because at least I haven’t lost players! We are working very hard to strengthen our squad.”

“There are two ways for us to strengthen. The first is internal. We finished with 73 points last year with a very strong run. We have a very young core of players.

“The second part is of course to strengthen our squad from outside. We have signed Sanogo [but] he has not made the headlines. Why? Because he didn’t cost £50 to £100m.

“Sanogo will surprise you because your expectation doesn’t look to be too high. He’s a top class striker.

“We can still strengthen the squad and there is one month to go. It’s the beginning of August and we are working very hard to strengthen our squad.”

Defcon 4 is in effect, meltdown imminent :pac:

In fairness he's not saying anything we didn't expect there.

Wenger never says ANYTHING

tayto lover · 02-08-2013 01:35PM

Does anyone here agree with Wenger when he says that "we are capable of challenging for the title regardless of new signings"?

Just thought i'd throw this out there.
