Big signing for them and puzzling move for Chelsea. I thought for sure that they'd retain him...

Rumored to be for 50 mil. Huge money by Everton's standards.

£25M is what I've seen.

You're probably right. I've seen both now.

I went last night and watched Real Madrid play A.S. Roma in a "friendly" last night at the Cotton Bowl.

My youngest daughter is the soccer player in the family and I thought it might be fun for her to experience big time soccer (yeah, I know, futbol)

It was fun. Quite a spectacle. Ronaldo did not play, though.

Heard that there was quite a bit of "fan interaction" at that one.

lol. You might say that. It was probably my 9 yr old son's favorite part. It was fairly comical at first, but it dragged out and got absurd.

We all speak English on here. Football is how you spell it.

Raheem Sterling making me forget about Suarez ATM.

lol at Raheem Sterling

Not sure what's funny about Sterling. Kid looks to be a future star and he's only 19 years old. Of course, Liverpool can't just buy players for asinine amounts of money, they actually have to develop them, unlike Barca.

Because The Farmhouse has obviously never developed one of their own.

Twas a joke, I'm well aware of Barca's youth prestige.

In other news, I'll be attending the Liverpool/AC Milan match in the Queen City tomorrow and couldn't be more excited. Wish this work day would hurry up and end.

Sorry, probably should have indicated that I knew your post was a joke as well, poor attempt at my part to continue the trend. Need more smilies I guess.

So come to find out, we're staying in the same hotel as AC Milan. Saw some of the players. Pretty cool.

know it was a preseason friendly, but seeing my Spurs on the right side of a 6-1 win is nice

 

[DocVOLiday]

Was good seeing arsenal beat benfica 5-1 today

Also the Man U/Madrid games was pretty good. I didn't think Ronaldo was going to play

Ronaldo had to audition for Van Gaal

Arsenal will be in contention again, but I think they'll fall a bit short. Top 5 at the end of the year, IMO:

1.)Chelsea
2.)Man City
3.)Arsenal
4.)Liverpool
5.)Man Utd (just missing out on the top 4, I think Van Gaal is an excellent manager)

not putting Arsenal at 4th.
