On the Eve of the new Season...

Arteta for 10mil??? Everton have lost their freaking minds.

2206: Any of you wondering what is happening with Bryan Ruiz? BBC Sport's Saj Chowdhury reports that Newcastle had a £12m bid for the FC Twente striker accepted, but the move broke down over the Costa Rican's personal terms. The Magpies will not be doing any more transfer business in this window... so, over to you Fulham.

My good mate is a Toffees fan...he said their lack of money is only matched by their lack of ambition

The fact that this stuff happens is incredible to me:

Inter Sorry for the Forlan Error

The first thing I texted my buddy when I got the Forlan announcement from him was:  Must be going for the domestic title, cause he can't play in Europe...

How did they not know this?

Do you think United and City are playing 'anything you can do I can do better'?

City win 5-1 so United win 8-2
City win 3-0 so United win 5-0

I know this goal orgy can't go on indefinately but I am enjoying it while I can. I thought United looked better than they did against Arse.

I wonder what controversy Barton can cause tonight?

I'm not quite there yet, but I'm on the verge of saying "We're watching something really special this season."

By all accounts if QPR could shoot straight Toon would be getting hammered.

No joke.  Lucky to escape with a point.
