    Yeah, keep calling them homos. There's nothing better than the haters.
    And they would have won that game if the Jays didn't beam Youk.

    Yeah watched most of that one, pretty good match.
    I know I'm supposed to hate portland now but ever since you guys joined MLS the league has gotten a lot more interesting and for that I am grateful.

    Transfer season in europe, I still can't get used to how fast and randomly players are shuffled about in Europe.
    I really hope the Gunners don't sell Nasri to either of the Manchester teams, hes a great young talent they should build the team around. Sell Cesc, I don't care, but for gods sake keep Nasri and splurge on a well established center back.

    ya i've really only started to follow mls this year, and if anything its only the timbers, whitecaps and sounders because they rep the pac nw.
    i went to a timbers game over the weekend and everyone was crazy passionate about even a non league game against club america. it warms
    my heart to see that kind of devotion for soccer here in the us <3

    did you see they officially sign Gervihno today from lille? first actual signing of the summer lol

    i agree about the defense, the board and wenger need to splash the cash they actually have for either cahill or samba

    my opinion on cesc is that if barca can man up and put forward an actual bid for him (35 - 40 mil) they can have him. i mean hes gonna
    end up there anyway when his contract runs out in like 4 years. but don't try and say hes only worth 27 when andy carrol was worth 35,
    and torres 50! whenever he goes it'll give us ample funds to reinvest wherever strength is needed.

    nasri is just using arsenal as a platform to launch his career. he's been there for 3 years, most of which was lack luster, and really only
    shined in the first half of last season. prior to that he did very little and was relatively unknown in england. now i totally understand his and other player's
    desire for reassurance from Wenger that MONEY will be spent on ESTABLISHED players. but he's also bitching about wages and has repeatedly rejected
    contracts with improved wages, so its not really about the club. last i've read is that man city have a 22 million bid in and hes moving there to be on a
    185,000 a week contract. clichy left after 8 years of service to the club, and if cesc goes he'll be the same, but what about nasri?

    i think he's going to end up leaving, which is terribly weak in my amateur opinion, because a, wenger made him into who he is, and b, if cesc
    leaves he'll be able to play central mid instead of outside on the wing.

    ps.

    its been reported that unnamed clubs are interested in bendter and almunia, praise thaaaa lawwd!!!!

    a little bit of shit comes out of me every day i hear that Nasri might go to Manchester

    Barca have lost interest in fabregas. we'll see what happens there, but i bet we keep him

    Bendtner and Almunia are likely on their way out, Almunia sucks anyhow. Bendtner is a great player at times, but can be a big fuckup too.

    ya almunia gave me a heart attack everytime he left his line o_O

    bendter's ego pisses me off, dude says he wants to start/play for Barcelona lol. the way we play doesn't really fit him and wenger never
    plays him so please please cash him in, i've heard offers around 10 - 12 mil

    there's no way nasri's going to manchester untied, wenger has been adament about not selling to a direct rival
    also manure are trying for sneijder for some record fee from inter. who knows if it'll actaully happen.

    Any of you guys see this? Not the biggest deal in the world but truly awesome.

    Bendtner is a dumb ass, a lot of atheletes are stupid but he's special. Hes talented but he hasn't lived up to his potential.
    Arsenal should sell him, Arshavin, Alumnia, cesc, and maybe another mid fielder. They're deep with young mid field talent anyway and clichey leaving shouldn't be too bad seeing is how they've got Gibbs and Traore. Stick someone with world class talent next to Vermaelen. If they don't sign a quality centerback I don't think they'll qualify for champions league this year. Liverpool and Tottenham are going to give them a tough time for that 4th spot. No more young talent, sign someone in their prime with experience.

    Also, the new away kit is horrendous.

    i think bendtner should've gone on loan somewhere like wenger did with vela, just to humble him a bit.

    however when i see shit like this, i can see how we can get some money for him.

    dude scores come great goals. we need drogba or something. RVP will probably get injured again this season.

    Gibbs is fuckin tiny, he's got potential but gets manhandled by so many teams. I'm glad Djourou has some height on him and wasn't terrible against messi, he'll be a great central defender, and if Vermaelen plays all year, that might be just what he needs to show it.

    yo whuddup salvo...

    how about that Brandon morrow eh?

    i wish Arsenal would tour north america. really annoying that they're in Asia right now pumping ladyboys. then they go straight into the emirates cup. if i get two weeks off to go to scotland this fall/winter, i'ma get down to London for a cup game or something.

    oh i booked a ticket to calgary, fuck was that ass-expensive. i could've flown to miami for half the price.

    Its official, I've given up hope for the Mariners this season, maybe next season too, maybe even until the ownership actually wants to spend some fucking money for once.

    Since 2004 the M's are at 548 wins and 684 losses with no play-off appearances and only two seasons above .500
    Highlight: 2008-First team in MLB history to lose 100 games with a $100 million payroll.

    For some reason our owners are still able to make a profit every year, and what to they do? Instead of getting some talent they have bobble head nights and fan give-aways. Enough is enough, I'm going to boycott this organization and I'm going to try to recruit as many people as I can to do the same. I don't want a fucking bobble head, or a god damn reusable shopping bag with a mariners logo on it, I want a fucking world series victory before I die, I want a winning team.

    And thank god I didn't go to the ManU - Sounders game, I know MLS teams always loose in the friendlies with the powerhouse teams but watching a 7-0 game does not sound like fun if you're on the wrong side.

    i tried to post a pic of a broom for you, but i couldn't get this new pic posting system to work. where's a link to just the fuckin image tags? i posted from URL and somehow fucked that up haha..

    i'm a re-re.

    the jays do the same shit with bobbleheads and giveaways.... but that's been cut down bigtime in the last two years. used to be like a bobblehead every month, not so much anymore. i think that's a good move. make the team better, get rid of Frank Francisco and focus on keeping our core players for another season.

    Build around Baptista. Those AL east parts are all hitters parks, its a tough division, but if can hit a ball longer than 300 feet you should be able to hit the short porch in the bronx, or whats normally a high warning track fly out in boston is a homerun over the monster. I wish small ball contact hitting and good pitching would work but when texas rolls into town and barrages our fans in the bleachers with home runs it makes it pretty clear that small ball is a last resort for struggling teams with low budgets.

    Give us Prince Fielder hes going to be a FA, and our GM who worked with the brewers organization for a while should exploit his contacts over there. Move 'em all over. Braun, Fielder, Hart, Gammel, uurbody. Sick of this shit, put the wood on the ball.

    Spend some money and give us a winner, and then you wont even have to reel us in with shakey plastic likeness dolls and novelty foam sticks or whatever else they want to use to insult our intelegence.
    GAH!

    @salvo yo I feel it man, A's been in the slums like that for a while too. THe only thing is the A's will definetly win another series by the time you die, but the mariners not so much...;) lol.

    A's actually been real hot offensively since the all-star break, and Anderson pitched a hell of a game tonight against the rays. Matsui hit his 500th and has been hittin well since, if the A's can keep up their hot bats they can make a running. Has the trade deadline already passed? Id like to see some new veteran names for the A's but lord knows that the only thing comin and goin through oakland is crack and youngsters. A's signed Gray today, this 18 year old starting pitcher whose supposed to have mad bars, theyre sending him straight to arizona to play some AA ball, If all goes well they said theyll think about callin him up this year for some relief...

    nah deadline hasn't passed... Jays making a move for Colby Rasmus. he'd be fuckin awesome to pick up. but we dealt Jason Frasor to the White Sox.... sucks. he's probably our most consistent reliever. our bullpen is shit too....
