    No worries guys, it's a transitional game. Totally new system and nervous players. That and Downing should donate all his earnings to charity and walk towards a busy highway.

    I would have put in Carrot and played long ball. The tiki-taka isn't there yet. Or more like wasn't there at all. I have faith in Steve Rodgers.

    YNWA!

    CL will be exciting this season. I almost like Bayern's chances better in the CL than in the Bundesliga, once again. Dortmund didn't get worse...Kagawa is a loss, but Reus is just as good...

    I'm curious to see how Martinez will fit in, I have never seen him play. But to think that we could have almost gotten Reus and van Persie for the money we are paying for Martinez leaves me scratching my head a bit, this guy better be all-world.

    He's good but he isn't worth all that money, Barca didn't come close to that amount.

    Btw, welcome to Barca Alex Song.

    Arsenal sure likes to juice Barca when it comes to transfers. They've lost a ton of great players in the last two years.

    Adriano has been such a waste.

    Bit of a scare for City. Very entertaining second half.

    gotta admit that hazard looked damn good today for the chavs today....arsenal looked decent despite the fact that their three signings only played together for 45 minutes before, one thing that stood out for me is that cazorla looked like a magician even when he was dead tired and was far and away the best player on the pitch...also if the rumors of sahin and mvilla are true i will b e very satisfied with the ruthlesness that wenger has displayed in this transfer market, selling song for disrupting locker room (apparently almost got into fist fight with bould in koln) and for selling RVP for being a complete dickwad

    Hazard looked good.

    Told Yall about Cazorla, he's a stud.

    City needs to get their **** together, looks like Aguero might have torn his ACL.

    Felt so happy for Villa after he scored. He will have a huge chip on his shoulders and the deadly striker we needed again.

    Yea City is picking up where they left off last season with uninspired play against lesser teams needing goals late to get the win. Aguero said on his twitter he doesn't think its too bad but will have to wait on test results in the coming days.

    Rumors swirling about Kaka to Man United on a one year loan. As a United fan, I really hope this doesn't happen.
