When I first heard about it I thought it was weird as well. Maybe Pep just wanted to avoid those decisions because it was too stressful? No idea.

Maybe it's just not true though but I'm just gonna assume that it is.

Finally the season is under way! First of all Van Persie has very big balls, going to United after being in Arsenal, that requires a big pair, I can't wait for United-Arsenal, poor Chicharito though this year will be tougher.
Chelsea continues to play very similar like last season but with more attacking promise imo, Hazard played very well vs Wigan.
Barça look like the team to beat yet again, if the 5-1 vs Real Sociedad is a premonition to what's Barça gonna look like with Villanova they look amazing!
Also though start for Real Madrid vs Valencia 1-1 in the Bernabeu.
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

I'm a Liverpool fan and even though I have followed them for quite a while now I still have high hopes of them staying in the Premier league.

Lol this is pretty extreme. Almost as extreme as the random guy on liverpool FC tv I happened to see in a round table discussion about the club's predicted success this year. He said 'we will win the league'. Good luck :/. But I can see a repeat of the 8th position if they repeat their performance at West Brom. They seem quite thin on quality when you consider the prices some of those players have come at. Then again for the sake of most of my fantasy teams I hope Suarez goes on a tear!

Bertrand playing left wing again. Interesting RDM really likes him there, I think just providing defensive support, being able to drop back to cover Ashley's runs. Would be quite a good pick for fantasy because he's cheap and he might be able to pick up points for assists or maybe even a cheeky goal.

Well i don't know much about him personally, but when the likes of QPR Southampton and Fulham where the other clubs interested in him, it must be just a squad player signing?

Just watched the 50 most amazing prem league moments on bbc iplayer. Man, dat City v QPR match last season, such a godly finish, the height of excitement and poetic finishes...just unbelievable way for City to break the 40 year wait. On the 20th season of the prem. Jesus christ...something I'll never be able to forget, and combine it with the Chelsea CL win, which was even more emotional to me (of course), definitely has to be my most memorable and cherished season so far. Also, it was the year where Man U won nothing. What a great, great year. . Still have both matches recorded on my sky box.

Played for Vitesse in Holland. They're like.. just below sub-top here at the moment but some Georgian with ties to Abramovich is pumping money in the club. They made 7th place in the league last year. When he came to the club he made bold statements like 'in 3 years we will be champions of the league'. Everyone basically following Dutch football found that statement to be hilarious.

Buttner is a nice talent though. Many critics in Holland actually rank him amongst the top left backs we have though that's not saying much. Shame he didn't get to come to the Euro2012 because he's definitely better than the 18 year old starter that van Marwijk used (lol).

Way to early for Buttner to join United, but purchasing him now and stalling him in the Netherlands would be a smart move. He's a big talent IMO, much more solid overall than Willems.

Just buying a bunch of players is not a guarantee for success. I think ManCity has pretty much proven that. It took like what, 3-4 years after the Arabs took over before they finally won something?

Most of teams' successes are based on a well oiled club philosophy where every team in the club from the youngest youth teams to the first team plays the same style. Whenever someone pumps a lot of money in a club it takes a few years before they finally know how to use those resources. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't it also take a while before Chelsea won a bunch of stuff after Abramo took over?

Ibrahimovic was out with an injury to be fair, but they really should have won at least one of their two matches.

Any news on Sahin? Latest I heard he rejected Pool's bid because he wanted to come to Arsenal, which would be sweet. Could also be a load of shite, of course.
