My penis is still intact.
Boy I'm glad I'm not in Mama's shoes right now, that'd be embarrassing.
Persie really has made Blackburn his bitch throughout his career hasn't he? It's one of those things I guess.
It would be amusing if Walcott wound up being "the next Henry" this year. Not 30 goal Henry mind you, but 10 to 12 goals with a similiar ability to blow past defenders, place the ball into the far post and find his teamates. Such an occurance would confirm Wenger's genius for all time.

Trez signign a contract is very good news. They need him. His goalscoring record has been very impressive and it would have been a big blow to lose someone like that.
Juve are building quite a decent team. I still dont think they can challenge for serie A, but their summer moves have been good and they can certainly get a CL place. They've signed quite a few players and they've got buffon and trezeguet to sign contracts, which is huge news because both of them are so important to the team. Its still early days for ranieri, but he's doing a good job so far.

Winning the scudetto wasnt an achievement this season. Inter didnt even have to try. Juve were in serie B, Mialn were 8 points behind from the start and none of the other teams were good enough to mount a proper title challenge.celestial body said:
But that doesnt mean that selling vieira was a good idea. It wouldnt have been so bad if they actually sold him for what he's worth, but they let him go for 14 million pounds and I cant see how you can let someone like that go for so little.
As for how arsenal play without him, I do think that they've become an inferior team because they dont have a strong midfielder. but its not such a big blow. Arsenals midfield is still very good. Due to arsenals poor results this season people seem to forget that the team controlled possession for most of the game and thats largely due to a good midfield, but aersenals problem is that they just cant finish.

My predictions for Serie A ( I am quite sure that Juve wont take scuedetto):
1. Inter
2. Milan
3. Fiorentina
4. Juve
5. Lazio
6. Roma
But I hope that it ends this way:
1. Milan
2. Fiorentina
3. Inter
4. Lazio
5. Roma
6. Juve
My prediction will probably change when silly season ends.

I wont make a prediction until the transfer window closes. There could be quite a few changes for some teams, but no matter what any team does its pretty much certain that Milan and Inter will be the top two. I hope Milan can win it because I really dont like Inter.Yazan said:
Tevez would like to join us:
that sound very much like "come and get me, pretty please" to me. I said months ago that he would be ideal for us. For 20 million or so I would take him in a heartbeat.

:lol There's two things that always happen in the italian transfer market. Milan will sign someone older than 30 and Inter will always buy a striker.Yazan said:

I'd rather see him go to Arsenal than Liverpool. At least when Arsenal fans tease me about it I can throw those 6 points we took off them this season back in their faces..plus that whole 'First team to win away at the Emirates' thing...plus you have a stadium named after an airline...and you just lost Henry...and Fabregas is on his way too...
yeah i got plenty. You take tevez.
Plus the added bonus of being able to say "SEE REO-COKER, THAT'S A TOP 4 QUALITY PLAYER! GET BACK TO WORK!"...even if it's just in the living room, and he'll never hear me.
here's an article about the Babel interview Hooker spoke about yesterday:
what's that supposed to mean? That sounds a bit like we may have told him that we would get him in the Winter.
It would make sense in a way - he would probably not play too much in the beginning if he joined now, and we definitely need somebody to come in for the African cup of nations this winter.
Arsene is a smart guy.
Or maybe I'm just talking out of my arse. Both is very likely true.

edit: 12 too then
lol, now that Henry is gone our manager and Cesc are being linked to Spain...Will this ever end?
On another note, I'd love to see Tevez in an Arsenal shirt. He's amazing and a move to Arsenal would take away alot of the sting from Henry's move away.

Ok that Tevez rumor is pretty exciting. I hope there is some validity to it.
Did you guys watch him play at all? I thought he was a dominant force on the pitch. The guy is a pit bull. He's strong, tough, and has a fearsome presence. I remember seeing him score a goal against Man U at the end of the season where he ran through two of their defenders and poked the ball past Van der Sar. I was very impressed by his strength.
He also single-handedly kept West Ham from relegation. I would love to see Tevez at Arsenal. Honestly, if he came, I would not even care about Henry's departure and that is the honest truth.

If you're going to spend a lot of money on a striker, you should spend it on tevez. At the end of last season he was unbelievable. He proved just how good he was. Arsenal need a world class player and he's ideal.
Who else could you get? Eto'o and Villa wont leave their clubs whilst Torres is horribly overrated. Unlike any of those strikers, we all know that tevez can play in the EPL. During the last few weeks of the season he was arguably the league's best player. He would be perfect for arsenal. He's one of the best young talents in the world and he makes a big difference.
He could end up costing a lot, but you have to pay a lot of money for good players, unless you buy them from arsenal.

I'm convinced whoever gets Tevez is going to have to spend over £30m. I'm not saying he's necessarily worth that, but with the likes of Inter and Madrid involved the price should get pretty high.
If it wasn't Inter we were talking about, I'd think the fact that they've just bought another striker in addition to all those they already have would rule them out of the running...but it is Inter.
I know we like to talk about wags every so often, it's just a shame I can't link you to a forum topic with lots of pics of them. It's NSFW you see. I considered hiding a link in this sentence, but that might get me in trouble. If I had done though, I would again have reminded you that it's NSFW.

It's important we make a signing of this quality and I think signing Tevez would raise the spirits of anyone who is affiliated with Arsenal. I remember seeing him on the field and just expecting West Ham to beat whoever they were playing because Tevez was so powerful. He's a player that can just take the ball down the pitch and create dangerous plays.

Just imagine if in the next month or so, wenger signs a new contract and arsenal buy tevez. That would really lift arsenals spirits.
But knowing arsenals luck, wenger will probably say that he's had a conflict with the board and arsenal sign Baptista permanently.

He has some fire in him too. Kind of what Arsenal needs. He's a rough guy who came from nothing, even bears some nasty scars on his face from his childhood when he pulled a pot of boilding water onto himself. He's hungry for championships too.
Here is a video I found of him, it's decent.

Toni, Klose and Ribery eh? I think Bayern might be Blackburn's main competition for the UEFA Cup next season, but I'm not worried. We have Pedersen, McCarthy and...Jason Roberts.

Well, I think there are 3 really good strikers there, and 2 rubbish. Let's play guess which!
