GET INVOLVED - will Liverpool win the Premiership 2013/14?

95% of yomps are blocked, of course, owing to thudd's sloth, but my word I hope they bruise

Is this the right thread for us spending FIF-TEEEN MILLLLION POU-UNDS on Pablo Osvaldo? Cos I'm feeling a bit bemused.

a perfect end to the best week of rickie lambert's life and the last week of his career as an epl first choice #9

wtf he was ours i thought

Awes

Starting to get concerned about you lot tbh

When did mourinho get so like jack dee

watching that Villa breakaway goal again, for much of the move the referee's further back than any Arsenal defender

It's the missus' birthday today and I've long been coveting this pin badge I saw in Clinton's, so I improvised this card from the boy. Amazingly it seems to be passing without comment.

well imo you are the bestest mummy and you deserve the badge

there it is

have any other liverpool fans got their suarez apology yet? i was out when he called yesterday but he left a lovely note.

Ha all i got was a text from bale said "soz m8 wont make next week foot's still a lil tender lol ~{(<3)}~"

the Arsenal panic bids begin...

not that a Utd supporter can really take the high ground

They're meant to have offered £10m for Cabaye - roughly £15m less than PSG were apparently quoted for him earlier this summer.

why do they even bother?

They started the summer boasting about their £90m or whatever, ergo nobody's going to accept any first offer they make, regardless of what it is - so might as well make it derisory. Might be the thinking.

Though there does seem to be an assumption on their and Utd's part that their hand strengthens as the window starts to close, which doesn't compute imo what with bumper tv money and all.

£11m bid now being reported. It'll be £11,000,001 by the end of the day.

Next week: Arsene handcuffs himself to a radiator in Everton's lobby and refuses to leave until they give him Seamus Coleman.

what a carcrash of a window, what the hell are they thinking

following anonanon's back-in-the-dating-game analogy, right now it's 4am, the nightclub is emptying out, and they're drunkenly slurring in the general direction of every girl who's left.

eh tbh if the analogy is to match the football transfer window it must surely involve a brothel

"It's fantastic to work with Mauricio," striker Osvaldo told BBC Sport.

"He's a great motivator and for me it's very important to work with people who appreciate and respect how I work."

He added: "For some years I've been working with people who don't appreciate how I work as a player, so it's great for me to to be working with people who do appreciate it."

im begging u nakh not the footy threads

deems m8 pls

that wasnt posted fors its inherent content value but as an oblique condemnation of merdes' phallocentric ananlogy http://i.imgur.com/Upb6TlN.gif

oh no someone said something on the internet come quick guys come QUICK LOOK WHAT SOMEONE SAID ON THE INTERNET oh it speaks so much of our times

said on the internet about something someone said on the internet.

Its a c&p tbh

surely u can tell the difference between c&p simply for 'oh look how terrible these random internet comments are smdh' reasons and c&p for rhetorical effect

it's all going a bit Metasacker

i do feel rightly chastened it's true.

fitba threads need as much meta as possible, else they degenerate into barely ironized got involvements or ronayish winsome dogshit

It was a c&p of something i posted a week ago how does that work

they're ready

city looking really good, particularly dzeko. excellent goal from kun.

huh forgot about this match

taylor an idiot as ever but harsh for a straight red it seemed to me

Yeah, there was a wee bit of swing in the arm but it didn't seem especially malicious.

Citeh looking ominously good I agree, the front 6 (7 if you include Zabaleta) have been linking up beautifully. Loads of movement, lots of one-twos and eye-of-the-needle passes, Fernandinho and Navas both looking right at home. Good match so far

lol carra is all i have to say

from what little i could make out i think he said he was surprised city didnt play "4-4-3-3"

yeah idk, letter of the law and all that but the ref has really leapt on the opportunity to kill the game there. vanity decision imo

pretty sure Taylor was exacting revenge for Kun smashing the ball into his arm and claiming a penalty moments before

xpost - "Kill the game" perhaps not entirely accurate or fair on the ref. Ben Arfa aside, Newcastle have brought very little to the contest and there were no signs that City were going to slow down before that red card, they were heading for a 4 or 5 nil regardless, the way the game was heading. Will now happily watch them rack up a cricket score if Pellegrini doesn't pull a Mourinho
