Wow, I didn't notice he's that short

Fuck you Marko Arnautovic. Pushed Mathieu Debuchy for no reason and he dislocated his shoulder.

Manchester City sent Matija Nastasic on loan to Schalke - stupid move for them because he's young and better than their center backs bar Kompany, but good move for him.
They also signed Wilfried Bony from Swansea today - great move for Swansea because of the money they got (2.5 times more than they paid Vitesse for him). Although they need a striker now, I heard that they are interested in Serbian striker Mitrovic from Anderlecht, would be a cool move for both sides.

Mangala is absolutely better than Nastasic. He just hasn't gotten used to playing in EPL yet. But I do think City treated Nastasic like crap. Playing Demichelis over him was unacceptable.

Torres scored two goals against Real Madrid tonight

 

[Black Wizard]

It's all a dream.

 

[The Flash]

Pretty exciting first half at Etihad. Gunners are up 1-0 with a Santi Cazorla penalty.

 

[Black Wizard]

It's all downhill from here.

 

[The Flash]

Well it wasn't. Great win for the Gunners.

 

[Night Prowler]

Good job, Cazorla completely wrecked City.

 

[The Flash]

Agreed. I was fascinated by his display today.

 

[Black Wizard]

Well it wasn't. Great win for the Gunners.

Very un-Arsenal-like performance.

So Norwegian wonderkid Martin Ødegaard joined Real Madrid. He's 16. His wages are gonna be £80,000 a week That amouns to something like £4 million a year. For comparison, highest earners in Italian Serie A are Danielle De Rossi from Roma (£5.2 million a year) and Gonzalo Higuain from Napoli (£4.4 million per year). As far as I know, no one else in Italy crosses the £4 million mark.

Real just doesn't care about the money. They get the money they spent back in a short amount of time through merchandising. I heard they got the money they paid for James Rodriguez back in just 2 weeks through shirt sales.

We've Twitched Our Ass On The Bench!

What exactly does he mean by that, Foro? Obviously a failed attempt at translating a Dutch saying.

 

[Night Prowler]

FA Cup madness!

Chelsea lost 4:2 to Bradford City after leading 2:0!

Manchester City lost to Middlesbrough 2:0!

(Relevant because the guy laughing with Mourinho in this gif is Boro's coach Karanka )

Now Manchester United's score yesterday doesn't seem so bad

 

[The Flash]

Cristiano Ronaldo just got himself sent off on purpose. Tried to punch a guy in the face, ref missed it, so he went ahead and kicked a guy instead to get sent off about a minute later. Interesting.

I guess City regret their trip to Abu Dhabi now. They returned today ... I won't say it caused their defeat, but it cannot have helped them perform better, that much is certain.

As for Chelsea v Bradford: Just ... wow. Bradford have slayed giants before and they do it again.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

I'm not impressed by Liverpool's first half performance against Bolton either.
