Good lads, should be class to see your teams with a new manager. I'm excited for the first game under Rodgers. I was at Kenny's first game at Anfield, which was coincidentally a Merseyside derby and it was fucking class; even more so because we didn't lose to Everton which, after life under Hodgson, seemed like a miracle.

About to have one of my favourite teas from the chippy: egg fried rice with a portion of curry sauce poured over it. Fucking heaven.

Yeah I am stoked and you should be too. Both our teams should play some bloody good football this season. Fingers crossed.
 
Got my tickets for the seattle villa game. center row, in the posh seats.

May bring a Lambert IN! sign for the lols.

Not in the fan section?!

Speaking of which, Fox Soccer thinks we could be the surprise team this year: https://twitter.com/FOXSoccer/status/215499305774096385

I don't like that we reached a point where us doing well is a surprise though.

Look for Preamar (HBO) in TPB, trust me it's an amazing show. It's a short serie, it will end in the episode 12 or something like that, right now we're on the episode 6 I think. Best serie I've watched in a long time. First episode is kind of boring, but from the episode 2 and so on everything is amazing.

Interesting, I know HBO has had some Spanish language stuff available here in the US but I didn't realize they actually created content for other countries. I see it's in Portuguese.. I'm guessing it's subtitled in Spanish in Honduras?

I wonder if they'll make it available with English subs..

You're telling me theres a brazilian tv show that is actually good?

Gonna have to check that. It's on HBO all the time, I just never had the desire to watch it.

I dont hang out with the proles mate. I will be drinking Champagne and covering my head in caviar.

Interesting idea we will be the surprise package!

I have to say Arsenals signings are really impressive though.
 
Trying to make a Mancini icon. Failing miserably.

Yeah, they broadcast it with spanish subtitles in Latin America (outside Brazil, obviously).

It's a great show, I'm enjoying it more than the USA-series atm.

Javi Martínez - Bayern on TZ (not so good source):
http://www.tz-online.de/sport/fussball/fc-bayern/bayern-millionen-martinez-aufgerufen-2360671.html

- TZ claims that Bayern have already offered Bilbao the 40 million Euro for Martinez
- He has details of the offer and the only remaining decision is his decision
- Bayern offered him 7 million Euro per year - that's more than Robben gets - and Bilbao can't give him more than 4 million Euro per year
- Bayern prefer him to M'Villa, etc, because he is a player who is effective in several positions
- TZ also adds that Pep wanted Martinez for Barcelona and speculates that the transfer and Bayern's discussions with Pep might be related


Perfect.
 
The euros thread...

I just read that Newcastle offered Ajax five million to get Anita. Glad Ajax didn't respond to that, but they also stated that it's very likely Newcastle will come again with a higher bid. Oh I hate you rich English clubs :(

That's true, but it's because many people who don't follow club football like us, watch the biggest events like EURO and WC. So they'll of course have a different understanding of the sport, etc.

I think it's cool, I know many friends who started to follow club level after watching the World Cup... I'd say we'll have many new people in this thread for next season.

It's more pathetic when people don't follow club football except for the end of the season when they're suddenly cheering for the champion -_-'

I switched to Juve on the last week of the season. I was going to support Milan, but you don't go from Inter Milan to AC Milan, you just don't.

And this is a man who supported Inter Mierda last season... for shame

We win titles yo.

Not necessarily on the pitch, but we win them regardless!

I'll switch back to Milan, Ibra's goal was godly. <3

This single decision you make when you enter football haunts you for the rest of your life. Its like that comedy sketch about picking which side of the bed you sleep on when you enter a relationship, who knew this was irrevocable? 8)

Best part of that thread was Raist not getting the Jenkins thing, and claiming we were the stupid ones.

I gave up trying to explain after a while. If he thinks an article that says "The pre tournament broken leg loss of Bacary Sagna, who is coincidentally the spitting image of my G.F" is a serious journalistic piece then I don't think any amount of explanation will convince him otherwise. Duncan's not arsed though: "i've got loads of #haters but i'm not bozzed. sticks and stones could break my bones but #worms will never hurt me."

Speaking of that article, "not many opponents have gone past Debuchy on the left hand side" is a brilliant line.

Love how my wife has been getting more and more into football lately. She actually watches the games with me and asks questions all the time. It's cute to watch her get all into it...

If Danwarb's reading would you go and ask in the video thread on RAWK if anyone can upload the new Rodgers interview from .tv? I don't have a RAWK account and registrations currently disabled.

Tell her to register on GAF. We'll treat her nicely (and keep Wilbury far away from her)
