Austria lost 2:0 against Spain.
To cheer me up I found one of the coolest ever goals:

Awesome. Now I want to see the hattrick against Chelsea. That was legendary.hadareud said:

Fantastic. I remember watching that game w/ a Chelsea fan who was talking all sorts of trash after they were up 2-0. Then Kanu decided to win the match single-handedly. :lol
Does anyone know what is going on with the new EPL shirts?
My birthday is coming up and I told my girlfriend I want the new Arsenal away kit with a player's name and number on the back. She tried a few different places but everyone says the jerseys with authentic letters and numbers and EPL patches aren't available. I think the EPL will be using a new letter/number style but is it still impossible to get an authentic jersey?

West Ham have apparently tabled a new £14 million bid for Defoe...now I thought the only reason we failed with the £11 million bid was that Defoe was scared of our fans...so that strikes me as a bit wierd. Personally i think as long as he got some goals quickly the fans would forget his past indiscretions. Bellamy vs Defoe to Partner Ashton up front would be a good contest imo. It's an extreme long shot though.

Take a gander at the left menu. :lol The redundancy is just mindblowing to me.

Even the Arsenal players didn't have their names on their jerseys on Saturday. :lol
This is why I'm still waiting to pay between 150-200 bucks for a Galaxy ticket.

:lol :lol :lol That is awesome...good on 'em. The rumour never made any sense to begin with (Wenger spending $15 mill? Bitch please)...neither does the new rumour that Arsenal (along with Spurs) are in with a shot at SWP. I can see Spurs getting him, but why's Arsenal gonna bother now?
the last thing we need is a right winger really. We have Walcott, Hleb, Rosicky, Ljungberg there already and Van Persie can play on the right wing too if needed.
Unless Wenger thinks he can convert SWP to a left winger I really don't see us buying him. Certainly not for 12 million anyway.
I can see him going to Spurs too, but the price is a bit on the low side for them. 15 million sounds more realistic.

Harewood is a decent squad player, the last thing most premiership defences would want to see coming off the bench after 75 minutes is giant forward who's as strong as he is dumb, he's not slow either...sure is dumb though.
Plus he has quality arguments with NRC every time a pass goes astray (which is 10 or 11 times a game where Harewood and NRC are concerned)

Ailton is a strange animal
I remember him when I still used to watch German football when he played for Werder Bremen. Sometimes really good, mostly not so much. Baptista is a legitimate (if slightly better) successor.
His body is also oddly shaped, and he is not really your typical Brazilian player.

Jesus, Bayern is nuts. Luca Toni was injured in a test game and he will probably not play in the next couple of games, maybe he will even miss the first league game.
Podolski is injured too as is Schlaudraff, which means that Bayern has no strikers left, so they are going to let Ribery play as a striker.
:lol

not a big loss there. But a whole season with just 4 strikers is a bit on the risky side I'd say.
edit: good luck to the Arsenal player btw. Temperatures in Austria are between 35 and 40 degrees C during their stay. I can't imagine doing any sort of workout in that weather, apart from lifting a cold beer.
edit again: after watching an interview with Toure I now have a mancrush on him too

I wonder if the Grimandi thing is going to happen. Wenger said that he wanted an Englishman and I don't think his opinion has changed. I remember an interview with Wenger last summer (funnily it was in German and his German was really good) where he mentioned that he is working around 14 - 16 hours a day, 7 days a week.
How the **** can he manage to do the director of football job on top of that? It's only temporary but even half a year is a long time.

Wouldn't it be easier for you to start identifying which Arsenal players you don't have a mancrush on? It's a shorter list, if my math is correct.hadareud said:
Sounds like it'll only be a few more weeks of double-duty for him. I think he can sort it out.hadareud said:

My penis is still intact.
Wasn't he on trial at Portsmouth?
There is a pretty interesting friendly today, Werder Bremen - Liverpool.
Werder won't stand a chance as they are missing their playmaker (Diego) and are plagued by injuries. They even lost against FC Basel in their last friendly.
But maybe we get to see their new signing (Carlos Alberto) and some of Liverpools new players too.

Pretty much. Their schedule is messed up for the remainder of the season because of his arrival. They backloaded most of it to get the most out of him.
HT report from Bremen - Liverpool:
Voronin scores after 4 minutes for Liverpool
Bremen equalizes 2 minutes later, Liverpool defense was okay, it was a deflected shot
Riise scores a free kick around 13 minutes into the game, what a hammer that was, Wiese punches it away with his fists but the shot was too hard
Random notes:
Carlos Alberto pisses Steven Gerrard off with his playing style and the two of them have a short outburst (Gerrard kicks Alberto while he's down and Alberto throws the ball at him).
Pennant dances around Bremens defenders and makes a really good impression, the only thing that's missing is the final cross or pass into the box.
Carlos Alberto dances around the whole defense and tricks the goalkeeper near the end of the first half but misses just by a couple of centimeters.
Benitez will substitute all 11 players in the second half, which means that we will see Torres and Benayoun.
The best friendly I've seen so far in the last couple of weeks.
