Snowball
08.08.11 | pick consistent goalscorers instead of flops like Torres
Hernandez or Bent if you've got spare money but i reckon Suarez is a definite pick |

The info says that he has a 75% to play on Saturday; I'll wait for a few more days to see if I'll have to replace him and Arteta (who's apparently back that day). I already had to replace Hernandez with Dzeko (who I hope will score versus Swansea).

AliW1993
08.08.11 | "i'm feelin gervinho against newcastle"
Apparently we tried to sign him too, so he'll no doubt run riot against us. Tbh I'd back any Arsenal player to score heavily with the state we're in coming into the season. |
mahan9792
08.09.11 | @aliw1993 Torres is so not worth the risk. RVP, Drogba or Odemwingie. |

mahan9792
08.09.11 | @bloodbirds Yeah, but when he's fit he scores almost every game. did a number for me last season, especially as my captian. it was tough becuase Nani put up good numbers every week as well. |

08.10.11 | As someone who watches him every week, I have no hesitation whatsoever in saying that Tiote's world class. Tbh I'm amazed someone's not taken him off us yet (though there's still time) because he's clearly a cut above everyone else we have.
I wouldn't get too worked up about Ba, our frontline isn't functioning at all with him in it. I'm betting on Gervinho as first scorer. |

Keyblade
08.14.11 | Joined. I also had Given starting instead of Al Habsi, who I put on the bench haha. He ended up being my highest points gettter. Ash looking good as is Mulumbu in the United, West Brom match. I'm pretty happy, just hoped Odemwingie would be fit today. |
Kiran
08.14.11 | all these terrible pundits need to lay off de gea, he was a world class shot stopper with atletico and once he calms his nerves, gets a bit stronger and gets a few clean sheets under his belt, he'll go back to being a world class shot stopper. it's so obvious the guy is nervous as hell, he can't even speak english, and has to deal with this enormous pressure at just 20 years old, and everyone is acting like everything he's done to prove himself good enough for an 18m transfer into one of the most highly coveted keeper positions in the world never happened |
Bloodbirds
08.14.11 | So how much did everyone manage to get ? I got 40 points. |
RyanWilson
08.14.11 | Torres will probably get the bonus, he played really well. Given starting for me too, reliable as ever. Not sure what I'm on at the moment because they don't seem to be updating it and I've got another player to play tomorrow but Young was my captain and he should get 2 assists, a bonus and another point so that's a pretty good move |

08.15.11 | cool, I got a point for Djourou for playing for a minute and Suarez got a Bonus --> 38 points |
Nomad
08.15.11 | Suarez'll be an awesome pick this season. He should score loads at Anfield. |
Thane
08.15.11 | i'm a barca fan but when it comes to EPL i definitely like arsenal the most. wenger HAS to spend some now if he wants to get top 4 even. I'd say get in either Honda or Götze (bit young still though) and Mata and they should be able to compete. |
Kiran
08.15.11 | gotze is awesome, apparently united scouts are tracking him though :s
as a barca fan, did you happen to see the super cup match yesterday? madrid stealing the beautiful football show for once |
Thane
08.15.11 | yes i did, was a great match. very, very nerve wrecking as a barca fan when we face them at the bernabeu.
they were clearly the better team, we were lucky to get away with 2-2, i'll give you that. however i'm pretty confident we'll win on wednesday though. with Xavi, Busquets, Pique and Puyol out yesterday (at least in the first 60 minutes or so) we had a very hard time getting the usual barca flow, but if Xavi starts or Fabregas is ready by tomorrow, plus Busquets, it should be either a draw in our favor, or a win for us. |
Kiran
08.15.11 | have to say as well, i was very, very impressed with the glimpses of brilliance from sanchez |
Thane
08.15.11 | yeah, it was extremely satisfying to see him play so well in his first game, especially with such a strong opponent as real madrid are.
I think this season will be very close, not that it can get much closer than it was last year, but still. RM have been very smart with their transfers.
thinking back at what I said about the game yesterday being closer if we'd have someone like Busquets, I think Keita is more suited for the clasicos :p I'm not ignorant - Busquets is a huge cry baby and a rotten egg at Barca. he is a very talented defensive midfield player though, so.. i don't know. |
Kiran
08.15.11 | it was a terrific game though, can't wait for the second leg. on the transfer note, i was personally a bit baffled that madrid spent the entire window strengthening areas that seemed quite solid but still haven't added a third striker to their squad.
i'm not too fond of busquets, or his partner in whinging pedro for that matter, and it's a bit of a laugh how far valdes will run out of his goal just to have a go at the officials, but i'll admit you can't knock them for their talents. a couple of those saves yesterday kept barca in it.

08.15.11 | Actually, every transfer Madrid has made so far (except Altintop... wtf Altintop?!) has been spot-on. We needed a second Xabi Alonso and Sahin is the man for the job. Coentrao is amazing, the guy can even play as a gk and give a great performance. Callejon is a very good substitute for both wings. Varane is Zidane-approved and that is all I need to believe.
As for that third striker... I don't think we need it since Higuain and Benzema are world class strikers competing for one spot. If there's the need to get one I hope it's Adebayor... or anyone but Neymar. |

"i'm not too fond of busquets, or his partner in whinging pedro for that matter, and it's a bit of a laugh how far valdes will run out of his goal just to have a go at the officials"
I love you.
But you left out Alves and his Oscar wish. |

08.15.11 | What's wrong with Neymar Baph? Kid has looked good (although arrogant as fuck) in the limited footage I've seen of him. |

08.15.11 | Whoever had Aguero in their team...good call. Good call indeed. |

08.15.11 | felt like he'd been there for years, he just slotted right in |
Baphomet
08.15.11 | @freek: He's extremely talented and has an imagination in the field I haven't seen since Zidane.
But he thinks he's the second coming of Christ and will struggle when he realizes he's not. We don't need another crybaby full of himself to screw things up again (Robinho). Plus everyone seems to get along in the team and he won't fit.
I say buy Adebayor and Bale and sell the fuck out of Di Maria. |
Kiran
08.15.11 | he's only 19, baph, maturity will come with age |
Baphomet
08.15.11 | perhaps... but he did have his coach fired when the poor man forbid Neymar to play after he decided not to pass the ball to his teammates for the rest of a game
all because he wanted to shoot a penalty and they wouldn't let him because there was already someone else in charge of that...
so yeah, I'm kind of skeptical about him |
RyanWilson
08.15.11 | Had Aguero until 10 minutes before closing time - fuck. Ah well, what a game that was, glad we were the only promoted team not to lose :') |

08.16.11 | Great start to the season as a City fan. I've seen Aguero quite a bit for Atletico but I didn't expect that kind of impact. Can't remember a better debut - out of this world.
Silva and Dzeko were brilliant as well, and the scoreline actually belied how well Swansea played. Their new keeper looked impressive. |

08.28.11 | It's time Wenger gets sacked. You know they have more money from the selling of Nasri and Fabregas. He's only signed Gervinho, who hasn't done a whole lot yet, and a handful of young players with nothing immediate. Arsenal needs to spend money on some GOOD players who can play immediately. |
Thane
08.28.11 | I can see what Wenger has been / is trying to do, but the players just don't have the patience. They've gone from being a top 4 team to looking like they belong on the bottom half (judging from the match they're playing against United now) |
