I can't log in using Firefox, Opera works though.

I logged in on IE and it works. I think the problem may be my cache or something; so I may have to clear it and attempt logging in on Chrome again.

I have no issues logging in and I used Firefox.

Where's Kashy!? I wanna make fun of him. Liverpool will apparently play like Barcelona next season.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


Can't wait to see Kagwagagawagwawawa playing for United next season! We seriously need to get a few more midfielders. :/

[Jorge D. Dragon]

I believe Liverpool will play something between Valencia of Rafa Benitez and Liverpool of Kenny Dulglish.

About Kagawa... well, it would be interesting to see him playing in a big club as he has shown a good season in Dortmund, but United is totally a different team, where there are their own leaders, so it might not be that easy for him. Though Fergusson has been always great in sharpening the talent of youngsters.

[Bugzee]

Well we lost out to Nasri last season and all that stupid Sneijder talk annoyed nearly every United fan for two years. To make it worse for us, Hazard recently joined Chelski so for a long long long time we've been in search for a decent attacking midfielder. I actually do blame fergie in part for this but we've finally made a good purchase with Kagawa.

I'm confident he'll do well in the PL. Will he become a regular on the team!? I do not know as of yet. All I know now is we finally have ONE new fresh option on the bench in games that really matter cough CL cough.

[FrostyMouse]

I think Kagawa has a chance to be great and 17 million isn't a bad price at all.

The important part is that it looks like we are finally getting Di Matteo as our manager. Finally it looks we'll be rid of people like the Special One. I quite liked Carlo Ancelotti, but I understood exactly why Roman fired him. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18390166

[Jorge D. Dragon]

Yes, di Matteo seems a good choice for Chelsea. He was the one who managed to won two trofies and after Mou there were noone who actually managed to won these many for Chelsea.
The thing about Mou is we can like or not like him as a person, but he is a damn talented couch as he managed to win tons of trofies with different teams in different countries.

You do know Liverpool used to play a passing game in the 70s and 80s right?
But yeah, unless we get some midfielders and strikers, I don't see it working. I've been waiting a long time for Liverpool to buy Honda, but it seems they have forgotten about him.

[Jorge D. Dragon]

I actually Liverpool will buy some good midfielders like Honda. He is rather talented and might be the one to become a good addition to the current team and with a new coach who has a fresh ideas it might make Liverpool a team that will fight for Chmapions League Zone or maybe even for the medals in the upcoming season.
I also hope Arsenal will show more guts in the upcoming season as I really miss the way they played in their brilliant season, when they managed to get something like 30 wins and 8 draws in Premier League and win the tournament.

No comments on the sacking of Harry Redknapp as Spurs manager?

[kakashi919]

Not really a sacking since he's the one that didn't agree to the contract terms. Oh well, not sure how Tottenham players will react to this....to me he was the only reason most of them even stayed at the club. I have no idea who can even replace him right now.

[Jorge D. Dragon]

I see Harry Rednapp as the basis and the foundation of all Totenham got in the last years in Premiere League and Europe (Champions and Europe League), so it won't be asy to replace and several key players can really leave the club now.

[FrostyMouse]

I saw it while I was watching the Italy vs Croatia match, iirc. I thought that this was the last straw for Spurs as Modric and VDV will definitely leave now. I don't care what happens to Bale, but the other two will be interesting.

To be honest, I'm just amused by whatever happens with Spurs and how they manage to fail/screw up one way or another. Food poisoning, anyone? :P

[kakashi919]

What Arsenal need isn't a goal keeper, Shezney(however you spell it ) is a great keeper... what they need is better midfield and possibly two more natural defenders and a couple of strikers. If you gonna play a passing game, get good and experienced midfielders. As for City, I still think they are missing something important from that team, dunno what it is, but something is missing.
