1 week to Premiership kickoff, as the rest of England's leagues get underway this weekend.

 

[Slap the Floor]

I did not shake hands with the MLS All-Star coaching staff because I did not see them.

Go **** yourself, Guardiola.

What a tool. The rumors are that he and the powers that be at Bayern Munich FC aren't seeing eye to eye on a lot of things, he could be gone soon.

It looks like Yedlin is heading to Tottenham. The initial reports right after the WC was that he was going to Serie A to play for Roma.

It also appears that Barca just signed Vermaelen for 19m euros. Not bad but that isn't going to fix the problems Barca has.

He was linked to clubs in France as well. Honestly, I think he could use a year or two more in the MLS before making the move abroad. Wouldn't want him to get thrust into a position where too much is expected of him too soon. Kid has a chance to become a real star.

I think he is finishing out the season with Seattle. Hopefully if he isn't ready just yet for Tottenham they will loan him out. The main thing for him is to play. I would prefer for him to play outside of the MLS but as long as he plays I'm alright with it.

Sign him now, loan him back to Seattle to finish out 2014, then let him play half of 2015 before recalling him back for the start of 2015-2016 in England (or wherever he ends up). Or let him finish out 2015 and 2016 in the MLS and then bring him over in the January 2016 transfer window. I think that would be just about perfect timing. Got to keep in mind that the World Cup was a small sample size, and he still hasn't even had a start for the national team yet.

Anyone keeping up with the Women's U-20 World Cup? Saw the US grind out a win over Brazil last night, which was a must-win after losing the opener to Germany. Have to find highlights of the Germany-China game somehow. 5-5.........craziness.

Very impressive from Arsenal, have to say. City woeful.

 

[dkst0426]

Poor start, with a couple of bright moments. Game kinda epitomized what United need. Oh well. 1 of 38.

Ramsey and big goals. This kid...

Which major figure/celebrity is dying after this weekend?

But seriously, it's odd how that happens.

HI-5!!!!

 

[NCCUknow]

Ramsey might actually be the best player in the EPL this season. He was pretty clearly top 5 last year when healthy.

 

[dkst0426]

Liverpool are still looking for a reliable strike partner alongside Sturridge, and - preferably for management I'm sure - someone who's less of a head-case than Suarez. Thus, they are being linked with..............Mario Balotelli. :lol:

 

[JohaadDBC]

Well, at least he won't bite anybody.

My Bhoys are a huge clusterfuck right now. I'm not on the Ronny Deila train just yet. Let's hope they can at least draw today and see what happens on the return leg.

Sweet refereeing in the Arsenal-Everton game.... :-(

 

[Topher]

Well offside. No idea how the referee missed that. Game is pretty much done imo

 

[ZackM]

Come back.

 

[NCCUknow]

Arsenal loses that game 999/1000

 

[Slap the Floor]

Wenger sucks, so I'm disappointed Arsenal got the result that they didn't necessarily deserve after they played like dogshit for 80 minutes.

 

[dkst0426]

Hell yes, we got a point today!
