Pogba will be in blaugrana next year

Unfortunately, I agree with you.

Pogba will be in blaugrana next year

how much they gonna spend to get him? Gotta be an insane amount

I know it wasnt the full lineup, but not a good start for barca today. Lost 4-0 to Bilbao

 

[volball625]

Team is exhausted after Tuesday. Played a weak lineup. Bilbao had 4-5 chances and scored all of them. Stupid mistakes for goals. We will be fine

 

[DocVOLiday]

Weird scheduling too. They play again on monday, correct?

Yeah. Would rather they rest some people for the actual start to La Liga next week. Which is stupidly against Bilbao again

 

[kwebbvols2344]

With Oscar and Courtois out I fully expect a 2-0 loss.

hahah that's good. what is that, 3 games in a matter of 7-10 days?

How does everyone feel about the Jose Mourinho stuff going on? I always knew he was crazy, but blaming physios and publicly disgracing them for not winning a game is a little over the top. He seems to be losing control quick. If Arsenal beat Chelsea at the Bridge in Sept he will probably lose his mind.

I love him as a coach but yes, he is crazy as hell.

Not having a salary cap in the sport is nice, isn't it?

Unless you're any Serie A team right now. They're all broke.

 

[kwebbvols2344]

As most figured, Benzema will not be going to Arsenal.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Ready for today's match! Come on you Gunners!

 

[Toujours Pret]

Lovely English weather this evening

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Arsenal is really lucky that this game is still 0-0.

Arsenal is really lucky that this game is still 0-0.

Liverpool is displaying the same issues they've had since Sturridge's extended absence and the lost of Suarez. They simply cannot finish.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

I liked the aggression of arsenal in the second half.

 

[MSUDuo]

If I could take a draw for each of our next 5 road matches I would. How the hell did we get that schedule?

Barcelona, Manchester City, AS Roma, Wolfsburg

Chelsea, Real Madrid, Roma and Wolfsburg

easy group:
PSV Eindhoven, FC Porto, Dynamo Kiev, Astana

How does NBC get their soccer coverage so right, but gets their F1 coverage so wrong?
