    Rasmus was a good pick up for sure.
    Not a busy trading year it seems.

    i bet the redsox make a move for a new pitcher by sunday. maybe they're stupid enough to spend what the rockies want for Jimenez.... but that's just a rumour.

    I hope rasmus works out, especially with our young team. if they can stay together we'll be pretty fuckin good.

    fuck missed it... i just got home from work. working evenings all week sucks....

    i was at the game yesterday, 3 rows behind out dugout...... no fuckin bats from us. fuckin ridiculous.... Jamile Weeks has a tonne of potential, didn't know he was a switch hitter. super tiny tho haha.


    edit: just saw the replay HAHAHAHA when Lawrie went into the dugout i was dying. he had Lind cracking up. too funny. awesome.

    what a clusterfuck of a game by the jays...

    The Premier League starts tomorrow! sorry sank.... didn't end up joining that fantasy league. i'm terrible with that shit. i'm terrible enough with fifa 11 and not playing that. i doubt i can keep up with my fantasy team at all. good luck tho.

    fabregas and nasri are on their way out, not in the squad on saturday.

    it's going to be an interesting season at the top, if Citeh can play together i think they have a solid chance to win, Liverpool are also gonna have a great year, i'ma guess they end up in 3rd.

    arsenal will be lucky to land in the europa league spot, despite the young talent they have, they're just not a strong team. they need some bigger dudes, especially if Alex Song is ever injured.

    we'll see what happens man. you've got manure, manshitty, liverpool and of course chelskie who have all spent over 50 milllion
    this transfer period. i think you're right, i think king kenny will lead liverpool towards the top 3 this season for sure. he brought in
    stewart downing, jordan henderson and charlie adam (among others). think they'll all mix well with kuyt and suarez up top. i
    sware man, i think suarez is gonna score 15+ goals this season.

    will be interesting to see how aguero fits into the epl. they sure spent enogh money on him lol. its ridiculous how inflated the
    tansfer market has become, like torres 50, carrol 35, and now any other big name player.

    that last point is sad and stupid, but is the reality of the current game and arsene wenger needs to accept that! he has had
    little funds to invest in the squad because of our debt from the emirates stadium. he also is very stingy about what he thinks
    a player is worth and wont pay the exorbitant fees clubs demand nowadays. but the debt from emirates is now paid and he needs
    to fucking spends some moneys. yes he bought gervinho, who i think will play very well, but he also got oxdale-chamberlian who
    is 17, has no epl experience, and cost 10 million. apart from these two and some other youngsters, we've done nothing.

    now the season is starting and we have two of our best players leaving the club. this shit should've been sorted out
    earlier so we could have time to for replacements to come in and get settled. but no. cesc is sure to be an official
    barca player on monday, and i say nasri a mancity player by the end of next week.

    their departure is perfect timing for the gunners opeing shedule.

    newcastle, udinese, liverpool, udinese, man u. most are away games as well

    we'll see what happens again, this beginning to the season is going to say alot about the rest of the year in
    my opinon. but whatever happens i think wenger will guide us through.

    in wenger we trust.

    I'm just happy to see the M's match any other mlb team run for run.
    I don't care if you guys sweep us at this point, the season is over for us thats why we're playing the young ones.
    Keep an eye out for Dustin Ackley, this kid is legit. Pineda started strong this year but either all the teams have figured him out or hes just on a serious slump. Dude has talent.

    As for Arsenal, I'm glad that the Cesc-fiasco is over, I wish they sold him sooner to have more time during the transfer window to buy some dudes. I read they were looking at some youngins from Ligue 1.....more kids....
    I'm bummed about the whole Nasri thing, I really like him as a player and if he would just agree to a new contract he could easily fill Cesc's shoes. If he goes to City he's just going to have to deal with the same crap Cesc will at Barca, be another guy on a roster filled with talent, probably get less playing time, and he'll realize like Tevez and others that Manchester is quite possibly the most depressing play to live haha.

    I'm behind Wenger but its hard to be a fan of a team that wont spend competitively with other clubs even though they have it. It may stunt the growth of the youth prospects but this buy to sell method makes the club a revolving door for talented players. I wouldn't be saying anything if I thought they had a chance of making top 4 this season, but they're going to have some serious competition this year.

    Also, fuck you Joey Barton.

    yeah man.... a lot of my friends who say the watch footy didn't even pay attention. they were still going on about losing to united.

    Mertesacker is gonna be fuckin dope
    Arteta is pretty much what we need in the mid field, great player as long as he doesn't get injured.
    i don't really know where Park is gonna fit, he's supposed to be a striker, i see him playing instead of arshavin
    Santos, again, gonna be dope, he may not be the best, but he's a better option than throwing Gibbs or Koscielny on every game.

    sad to say but it took a raping at old trafford for arsene / the board to buy.

    i just think its amazing that wenger went and bought OLDER and EXPERIENCED players. i really think we're going to be able a mount a title challenge after these signings.
    we have so many players injured and suspended right now and just think when wilshire comes back, it'll be like a whole new signing.

    mertesacker - captian of werder berman and over 75 caps for nation team
    benayoun - captian of israeli team
    park - captian of S. Korea team
    arteta - main playmaker at goodson park for 6 years
    santos - has brazil caps, not sure how many

    i just think all this leadership and expereince will really help the young players of wenger's youth policy

    only time will tell.

    gooner for life

    Gourcuff would have been a nice pick up, same with Gotze but I'm happy with the signings.
    I still think this year is going to be a big test/struggle, and I will be surprised if Arsenal make top 4.

    ya would love have to seen Gotze come in.

    the season is long and crazy things happen lol. but i agree it'll be test/struggle

    these coming weeks will be very big with epl and champions league

    however with these new signings and our suspended players back, i think we'll be good.

    also i bet we are active in the january transfer, maybe edin hazard???
