This really can't be good for Arsenal the way their operating profit is trending and their habitual overpaying mediocre players. Problem is they don't even have anyone world class to sell anymore, or really potentially so except Wilshere.

Jesus christ. If you read down near the bottom...in six years they have had 376 million available cash flow, but only 1% of that has been given to buy players. Can you imagine that in football manager lol!!!! Every week you'd be banging on to the owners about 'give me some more money you fucking nobs' and they would be like 'the board has very carefully come to this level and will not entertain your suggestion'. How aggravating.

Someone told me about this. Amazing that City are putting so much for fans to see on the net. A model for all other clubs. Watching a manager taking training makes me think how strange it's going to be for Southampton to have a manager who can't speak English. Fucking 'ell. Spanish people are often absolutely terrible at speaking English when compared to the French or especially Germans. I wonder what the deal is...maybe it's unfashionable to care to speak English in Spain but in Germany it is fashionable or at least highly encouraged. It might be because Spanish is the easiest of the 3 languages so it's hard to step UP in difficulty, and German is the hardest so it's easy to step down?!

Oh my God we're going to get stomped by Liverpool.

City off to a flyer. Wigan too.

Loic Remy scores 14 minutes into his QPR/BPL career, nice.

Well this is why Wigan is near the relegation zone, I guess.

Good one! English is far easier than Spanish... I think the english level of a country's population is related to its development, and Spain is far behind France and Germany.
There are translators in every country, why wouldn't it work in England? Pochettino is gonna learn english too I guess :O
For the one earlier saying he's bad, well I disagree, he did a wonderful job at the Espanyol, placing the team around the 8th-10th spot every year while using a lot of young players. I think Southampton is historically 'weaker' than Espanyol, so I don't think he's going to have such a hard time, except for the language barrier and the culture change of course.

Apparently the game between Brentford and Tranmere was paused because the Tranmere goalkeeper was being pelted with snowballs.

Pablo Zabaleta leaves with a foot injury and Samir Nasri comes on. And Daniel Sturridge scores again for Liverpool.

If Villa loses at West Brom, Reading will be out of the relegation zone!

This just isn't true, not sure what you base this on but British English especially can be a horror to understand. The reason many people think English is easy is because they hear it all the time which makes it seem like it has a lower entry level than a language you never hear.

Looks like Inter and Valdes have an agreement while Barça will push for Courteois. I don't see Chelsea selling him that easily but at the same time Cech is not exactly about to retire.

Would be a bad decision from Chelsea pov to let him go. The kid has amazing talent.

Even as a Barcelona fan, I prefer games where the opposition put up a good fight. A decent game so far.

So the African Cup of Nations starting. I appears to me that with every tournament in african football, the pecking order turns upside down, with the exception of Ghana and Ivory Coast being the only teams playing reliably successful.
Atm the South African team (hosts) continues to its on its epic quest to reach new lows with a 0-0 vs Cape Verde (who eliminated Cameroon in qualifying, so actually they might be not that bad), still some minutes to play however.
I guess Ghana should win this tournament, but I would not bet my money on anyone here.

I have no respect to the African Cup at all. The fact that Egypt has won it so many times and still failed to qualify for WCs just shows that there is no consistency.
