    Suarez is great yeah yeah but **** him though.

    Yaya Toure is a ******* beast. He's like the Megatron of the BPL or something crazy like that. He's a ****ing beast, just too ******* quick, and then he scores like a top level striker. He's like Hakeem or something.

    Make no mistake, if Man City somehow win out and that is a colossal ****ing if with the way they lose their **** sometimes, it is because of the wizardry of that big ****er.

    Diego Costa to Chelsea for 39mil€. Knew this would happen, hope Atletico can still hold onto some key players. Also, that's a pretty low buyout clause for a guy like Costa, especially when you see the money that is spent on other guys.

    The one guy I want for Bayern is Koke, let's see if he leaves the ship. ;)

    Don't really See how Koke would fit Bayern if you already have Ribéry,Robben and Shaqiri.(Müller is trash)

    Müller is only the best scorer of the last world cup.

    If you think that Müller is trash, then you are clueless.

    British tabloids full of rumours that van Gaal wants to take Muller with him - - and that Muller is up for it. I don't believe it at all really. Can't imagine him wanting to leave Bayern.

    1. Guess you never watch if you think Müller is trash.

    2. Shaqiri is unhappy with his playing time and could be moved soon. He's also not good enough to be a starter for our team.

    3. Robben and Ribery are old and you have to find a replacement soon.

    4. Kroos could be sold to ManU this summer.

    5. Koke is perfect for Pep's system and has been linked to Bayern/Pep several times. He'd be a brilliant addition to our team, as we are in need of one more midfielder that has creativity, plays key passes and is capable of dribbling past opponents in 1on1 situations.

    No way Müller leaves, British tabloids are desperate and are linking every good Dutch and German player to ManU now.

    It's just how these crappy papers work in England:

    New coach for a club -> Mention every good guy that played for him or has the same nationality and say they'll likely be signed.

    I guess Chelsea will sell Hazard to PSG now.

    I'm pretty sure Muller wants to go to LFC deep inside.

    Yeah, agreed about Muller and also the British tabloids. Just fun following it for some trash talk. :)

    I suppose the link is that van Gaal let him make his debut while still unproven and Muller has said some nice things about v Gaal. Wonder if the guy was completely hated by the players towards the end or whether they actually like him? He's a weird character.

    Most of them still like him, and several still say he is the best coach they ever had. It was mostly egomaniac Hoeness and diva Ribery who didn't get along with him. Hoeness and van Gaal are both egomaniacs, with Hoeness also being a pathological criminal (who is already plotting his return). It was clear that Hoeness would not tolerate someone else with an ego this size for long.

    City takes down Everton, great play from strikers. Everton didn't go quietly.

    2 more wins.

    Good win for Arsenal, they've guaranteed themselves Champions League for next season.

    So Hazard is benched... tactical reasons or could he be moving to Liverpool? And why isn't Oscar in the lineup? Maybe Mou is saving up for the CL match.

    Yeah, I think Hazard is gone unfortunately. Mou had some harsh words about him a couple days ago.

    So Mou started the game with the wrong personnel and a tactical genius by Norwich to park a bus at the back. Chelsea desperately needs to get rid of Torres and get a good striker. However I don't know how effective Diego Costa would be with the kind of style Chelsea plays. I think Costa + Ba and Eto'o as back up would be a good combo at the front if they had a different manager.

    I hope Hazard does leave. Seeing him with the ball dancing around Pool defenders make me nervous. I'd give up one of our midfield youngsters for him.

    Apparently no team wants to be win the Spanish league, not often you see the first three teams all mess up on the same match day. Will be an interesting race to the finish line.
