Liverpool's marketing team organised an interview of sorts for the fans with Jose Enrique, asking them to send in their questions to him. Newcastle fans just couldn't resist sending in theirs and having a dig at him.

The rumour of RVP going to Utd is gaining steam, with Fergie even saying as much that we're looking to buy him for £20m. Still won't happen though. With the likes of City also interested, who can immediately outbid us, and Juventus also knocking, who Arsenal will prefer to sell to rather than another PL club, the chances are very slim.

awesome. i'll be joining soon. but damn aguero why you injureddd!!??

Amplifier · « **Reply #1570 on:** August 22, 2012, 02:43:32 PM »

Aguero out for a month, which is a shame. The first matchday games were great, though. Chelsea looked good, United looked questionable, and Spurs need a kick in the pants. And that Liverpool..

Spurs finally managed to sign Adebayor. I really hope he can keep up his performances from last season. We also sold Dawson, which was mildly surprising. Now to see how the transfer rumors for M'Vila, Damiao, Willian, and others turn out.

So Modric then. A long transfer saga now over after a £33m deal with Real Madrid. The transfer also came with the news of a new partnership between Madrid and Spurs

Quote

"The partnership agreement will see the two clubs working together in respect of players, coaching, best practices and commercial relationships."

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez said: "The strong relationship and affinity between our two clubs has resulted in the cementing of a longer-term partnership and the successful transfer of Luka Modric.

"We are delighted to welcome Luka and look forward to working closely with Tottenham in the coming years."

Levy added: "Luka has been a terrific player for us and, whilst we preferred not to part with him, we are pleased that it is to Real Madrid, a club with which we now look forward to sharing a long and productive partnership."

Hmmmm. It's not the case I'm sure, but to me it just sounds like Spurs are Madrid's feeder club

Practically all of the English press are talking about Rooney now. Not that he'll be out for a month with that nasty injury he picked up against Fulham on Sat, but they're raising the bigger question on whether or not Rooney even fits in the Utd squad now. They say it's due to the fact that he was lackluster against Everton and that he was dropped for Fulham with Kagawa/Van Persie up instead, where we looked like a much more potent attacking force. They also point back to some pre-season match where he was dropped after missing a penalty as well, and they're already talking about a supposed £50m transfer fee.

Well, the way I see it, it's all paper talk. Doesn't sell papers if they have nothing to report on so they're making this shit up about Rooney being unhappy to further the story. There is some valid points on Rooney's place in the squad though. Doesn't really fit in the team if Kagawa and Van Persie are both playing. And you'd be hard pressed to drop either of them on their current form next to Rooney's. But then, last year, during the whole Rooney transfer fiasco, he did challenge us to sign big name players. Well we did, we got Van Persie and Kagawa, Brussia Dortmund's player of the year last season. I wonder if he's now regretting his bullish stance.

play one game bad and you deserve capital punishment so better retire asap... play well the next one and you deserve national team, player of the year awrad, a better contract, etc

that's how it works in my country otherwise how you explain that they want a young goalie that did great in one game (from the 3 he played) deserve to be in the major national team

also

problem?

Tuffty · « **Reply #1574 on:** August 30, 2012, 11:33:10 PM »

Dat Group D!! Some sexy games there in a group of league champions. I say we have the easiest draw of the lot and should qualify ok. But then I said that last season...

shurastriker · « **Reply #1575 on:** August 31, 2012, 11:16:28 PM »

^ Group D will be so amusing

Also... Atletico put Chelsea on shame... DAT FALCAO!!!! 3 goals and man of the match of course

Chelsea's defense played really bad, unbelievable...

Amplifier · « **Reply #1576 on:** September 01, 2012, 12:16:56 AM »

Spurs certainly had a good transfer window. Vertonghen, Siggurdson, perma-Adebayor, Dembele, Lloris, and Dempsey. I ain't even sad to see Modric and VDV go, now. And unless Dempsey cost a lot, then I think Spurs are in the black, this transfer window.

THE TITLE, I WANNA BELIEVE~

edit: Falcao <3

hmmmm, seems like avb's continuing his london misery in spurs? get the act together man, i need the points from gareth bale!

Amplifier · « **Reply #1578 on:** September 02, 2012, 03:27:45 PM »

AVB needs to stop starting Defoe & Lennon, and tell Bale to stop covering the entire pitch. Can't expect a win right after selling two of our key players, too. Dembele looked alright though, and Dempsey + Lloris will be available next week. Friedel looked great, though, so I don't know if Lloris will even start.

I take comfort in the memories of last season, which started much worse, and then became much much better.

Tuffty · « **Reply #1579 on:** September 02, 2012, 04:10:38 PM »

Judging by my twitter feed, Liverpool fans are more pissed off than Arsenal or Spurs fans.

*EDIT*

Van Persie!! Loving the comments of us being a one man team now. Such a one man team that in the past 3 seasons we've won 2 PL titles, missed out on a 3rd by one point and were beaten in the CL by arguably the best team ever. Papering over the cracks indeed.

Best goal in the PL this weekend has to be Ben Arfa's goal
