Don't forget your fantasyrafa tonight, the hundreds of you that decided to take part.
I saw Blackburn linked with a £15m bid for Anelka earlier. Yeah, we have £15m to spend on another striker.

Trust me man, I'm sure you guys will be fine considering your roster. The more I thought about it the more I felt that Osorio made some really costly in -game decisions. I'm not saying I hate the fact that he's coming here, but I don't see a drastic improvement either. After all, Reyna is staying for another year and he's not even taking a pay cut.Outdoor Miner said:
What the MLS needs to drop teams if they finish last... It'll bring more competition to the sport and join it with the USL... Plus USL teams will be able to progress up to MLS and vice versa... It'll bring diversity to the sport...
What's everyone's opinion on MISL. (Major Indoor Soccer League).

It would be more fun for the fanbase and letting soccer grow naturally in US... Can't the MLS board force it upon the owners like in Europe... Then we'll have teams from USL coming up and challenging the MLS teams... Those teams will able to get more money and MLS will be the lucrative league to play soccer in the USA.....
Well I'd say the USL would have to be restructured. For instance, how would it look when the Galaxy get relegated and the Charleston Battery get promoted? That's just not economically viable. You have to remember that MLS has not made profit in any year of its history. The current plan is to get teams in soccer specific stadium so they can control their own revenue so that they can recover the losses that have come the last 12 years. Maybe in the future when it's economically viable to keep a team in the 2nd division would there be relegation but that's a long way away.Zapages said:
Btw what do you mean MLS will be the lucrative league to play soccer in the USA? It already is or are you talking about those draft picks that went to play in the USL because the pay was better if they started in the USL?
I don't think relegation will work either. It's shit, but there is nothing to be done.
Here I'd usually insult something like "Oh, well teams don't get relegated from League Two or Bundesliga 17 so relegating from MLS doesn't make sense either" but now that I'm going to be a season ticket holder, I'll hold my tongue. Next season MLS attendance won't be able to top Serie A, but the year after definitely. I'm basing next season's lack on the Wizards only having 10k max and the Earthquakes something like that as well. I wouldn't doubt that Galaxy will sell out pretty often though. Maybe Houston as well.

Well I see way more sellouts in LA and Toronto will be sold out in all their games. San Jose will have a smaller stadium but 4 games will be played in a 40k stadium. Chicago will have strong attendance from the start probably and I see better attendance from Salt Lake and Houston. I hope New York will have a higher attendance but this market is so hard to read right now. I hope Red Bull advertises a lot rather than push for a marketing blitz when the stadium opens because it would be better to have momentum going into the new stadium. Houston will have a better attendance as well and as for New England, Dallas, and Columbus I really have no clue. Chivas should be better also with their new GM.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet but Wenger has stated that Lehmann will start for us tomorrow in the CL and van Persie will be in the squad.
He may not start but Wenger said he may play a part in tomorrow's game. Great news. Glad to have him back finally. Now score 30 more goals this season (and 5 against Chelsea this weekend).

Seems sensible. Need to get Jens playing and it is no risk to dump him in a meaningless group match. Good to see RVP coming back too.
excellent stuff, great to see the Perse back and Lehmann too to be honest. People have forgotten far to quickly how good he's been for us and that he was probably the biggest reason why we have reached the Champions League final.
I see this as the possibly last game for Jens in an Arsenal shirt and I think he deserves a nice send off.
Speaking of which, I am going to the game tomorrow so expect several gb's of poor pictures again!

Same thing's been happening with Henry. For all the stick Gooners love to give Chelsea fans about their lack of history, we sure do a piss poor job of remembering our own, even when it took place in the last five years.
And :lol @ Serie A figures...just sad. Shame since the games look a lot more exciting than people give it credit for.
Wow, what a move.- Status
