Glad Liverpool didn't make his final 3.

I don't know why you'd ever be glad that someone chose not to support something that you support. Very weird. I was really impressed with Sterling in the WC and think he's going to be something special. Thanks for mentioning L'pool....they're officially in consideration.

I have panj on team LFC.  I couldn't ask for anything more. 

And Sterling is going to have a really good season.

 :thumbs:

I'm not going to say that he can replace Suarez (that's a stretch), but it's nice to see (believe) that it won't be a massive step down.

Also, best hair tandem in all of EPL (Sterling/Sturridge)

It will help that they're going to be much better defensively this season. We won't have to score 3 goals a game to get a decision. I'm hoping that Sakho eventually replaces Skrtel.  And Johnson will go to the bench in favor of Moreno probably as early as this Monday.

Gonna need depth with UEFA play this year.

However, it's nice that Chelsea and City have to go through it, too.

I'd say that it would give United an unfair advantage, but lol, no.  Not worried about them.

Definitely.  I like the depth that we've added. Need another striker.

Southampton was complete dogshit until very recently (were third tier a few years ago). Develop good young players and sell them to bigger teams. :dunno:

I thought I saw something on NBCSN that they made $161 million this season on selling players.  Is that true?

 Yes, £162 and  £88M just from Liverpool.

4 years ago they almost had to file for bankruptcy.

Hey all you Gooner buds, just want to give you a heads up that if you miss the first four matches you won't have missed much. We should have at least 8 points after those four matches since our schedule is so soft (probably 10 or 12, but, being a Gooner, I am trying not to be a homer).
I really like how the season is setting up for the Gunners. A great chance to build a comfortable margin on the table early and then cruise to gold medal round.

Nani is gone! Marcos Rojo is in! Perfect fit because Rojo means Red in Spanish. :excited:
