It's really difficult to be an Arsenal fan lol. The team is simply not good enough. Players like Walcott, Ramsay, Welbeck are wildly inconsistent. And the manager is stupid. Plays them out of position, benches their best striker vs a big rival, makes stupid substitutions etc. It's like he is not even trying. And he is even letting good players go.
No wonder Troopz got broken.

1. Mané is to Hazard what Joe Allen is to Xavi
2.
check those curves m8 thicc as fuck, mané doesn't stand a chance
3. Hazard rarely dives, he just puts himself very easily into a position where he will be fouled. Mane tried that once but he actually ended up making a dive.
His butt is truly one of God's great gift. Perfection is what I can describe about it. Perfectly curve and bubbly.
I remember he was banned for a couple of matches after the incident, Hazard said he tried to kicked the ball out of that cunt as he was hugging on to it.
He fucked his knee up in May. Out until mid-Winter.

Holy shit. How have I never seen this. 😂😂😂
The two clubs are about the same size and probably bring in roughly the same amount of money. But Liverpool definitely seem on the up right now.
I remember watching this live and laughing so hard because I knew as soon as he kicked the kid he was getting sent off.

Don't forget Fabregas red card that season too. That was even more hilarious. What an amazing aim. Legend.

That ballboy gif still makes me upset whenever I see it. I can't believe he was banned for that. Fuck that kid.
Thank you, but I wasn't genuinely asking because it's irrelevant. He'll never make the first team and will unceremoniously leave the club in a year or two.

He assaulted a child.

I hope that kid was banned for life from the stadium.
What the kid did was stupid, he should never do that job again but Hazard is a dick for escalating it to the physical confrontation.

And he got banned for two matches. He learned his lesson.

The "child" was 17, wasn't really struck by the kick which was genuinely aiming for the ball, and bragged about his embellishment and not being in any pain afterwards.
I never said the kid wasn't at fault, he suckered Hazard in.
Outside the context of a football match, if you do that to a person you get arrested, not a 2 match ban. Hazard was lucky.
For sure, Lacazette & Özil (assuming he renews) is already a great base for a top attack. Definitely need some depth & goals from the wings though.

Whoa I didn't know that idiot is son of Swanseas majority owner. Good that they didn't press charges when asked by police. Any other guy should have got a massive payday from out of court settlement with Hazard and Chelsea.

Don't forget the guys above Wenger.
DT's rant on upper management was spot on and he sums it up perfectly:
"Everyone within this club in a position of power needs to fuack off."
As for the team: in addition to some guys simply sucking, some in this squad have become far too comfortable putting in mediocre efforts.
For a long time I said, "Yeah, Wenger can't compel them to play for him" and I understand having a manager who can't inspire them and makes things more difficult sucks, but then I remembered they're grown men making hundreds of thousands per week. How about putting in some effort for the fans while you're at it? These aren't kids. They shouldn't need their coach/manager to fire them up or will them to wins. You're a team of 11 guys - fucking get together and figure it out. Sometimes this team looks like a bunch of asshole kids who all dislike each other and were forced to play together. Help one another. Someone show some FUCKING leadership.
The transfer window is closing and so is any chance this team will get any-fucking-thing done this season; that is a depressing prospect just three games in.

Monaco holding out for 75-85m for Lermar?
I think one of the higher-ups said he wasn't for sale recently, though I believe the VP said the same thing about Mbappe
(I suppose it's technically a loan...)
They probably feel they can get the same fee (if not more) next year so there's no hurry. The Fabinho to PSG move seems to have broken down, too.
Why wouldn't they?
They already sold a lot of great players and at this point it would be quite irresponsible to weaken themselves even more.
More money for what? Fuck that.

The worst thing about the Keita deal is that it's given me hope again. Gonna be a long 3 days.
Liverbros, I missed the football at the weekend as I was partying it up at Creamfields. Judging by our score line against Arsenal it looks like we smashed them fam, anyone got any good write ups or things to add?
@Newcastle fans/Kyofu: so I've started dating this girl from Middlesbrough and she's a huge 'Brough fan, she isn't liking me supporting Newcastle openly (<3 Rafa) but so long as you keep him I'm always secretly on your side

We were fucking excellent. Front 3 were menacing. Sure you can find highlights all over YouTube. Well, well worth a watch.
We genuinely should have scored a bunch more, Salah can't shoot, and it was as much Arsenal being terrible as it was Liverpool being good. At one point even Henderson beat the offside trap (it's probably too generous to Arsenal to call it that though) to get 1 on 1 with the keeper.
Oh yes.
L'Equipe: #LFC were in negotiations with #ASMonaco all day yesterday, and are searching for an agreement for #Lemar. Talks to continue today.
Twitter rumours that we're after another striker too (possibly as a replacement if Origi leaves)

It's worth watching the highlights, we played some great counter attacking football.

C'mon, we can't be in for another striker. Bobby, Studge, Solanke, and eventually Ings is more than enough for one position.
Buzzed about Kieta, now to play the waiting game...
You did play good stuff, undoubtedly, but you also played against a team who left 0 men back for a corner.
0.
Yeah, not sure that we need another striker. If anything, give an academy kid that spot.
Your relationship will likely last longer than Rafa's employment thanks to Mike Twatly so I wouldn't worry about it@Newcastle fans/Kyofu: so I've started dating this girl from Middlesbrough and she's a huge 'Brough fan, she isn't liking me supporting Newcastle openly (<3 Rafa) but so long as you keep him I'm always secretly on your side
I didn't realise there were people like DT that were doign Vlogs on youtube and were successful at it. I suppose if you have the personality for it. Fair play to the lad.
However as it was my first time watching, its kind of scary how emotional and invested people get.
As an Everton supporter, the most disappointed I ever got was the 2009 FA Cup final vs Chelsea. We were leading! And then we never had a chance.

Apparently these guys were saying we were interested in the player since July, so fingers crossed!
fuck off Spurs

Spurs only have the advantage over Liverpool in the market when they are in the Champions League and we aren't. I'm not too worried about their interference.
He's essentially unofficial PR for Arsenal. I'd love for Sterling to be fucked off by Guardiola though

When was the last time a transfer involving a player swap went through? I see it so many times in the news and can't recall a single time it's actually happened.
Markitron

The last high profile swap I remember was Ibrahimovic/Eto. Milner/Ireland is the only other one that comes to mind.
Getting rid of Sterling feels already like a new signing for City. #whatwouldKloppsay

It doesn't. Signing a player is hard enough. Both clubs to agree. Player agree to leave. Player agree to wages. Agent fee. Involve more players and it becomes super complex. It's just fanciful football manager journalism most of the time.
You could argue that Rooney helped grease the Lukaku wheels, but I'd say that was special circumstances.
Markitron

I would piss myself laughing if he left Liverpool for City, only to leave without winning anything, before joining Arsenal at probably their lowest point since 1996.
Be no less than he would deserve. On the plus side, the Europa League patch always did look good on his sleeve.

I think they'd probably have to drag Sterling kicking and screaming out of the Etihad for that to happen.

If Pep says he doesn't want him then that's that. Joe Hart was a fan favourite (for some reason) and he was shown no mercy.
