Brah Bayern is coming here next year for the all star game. Considering they opened an office in NYC and said they are extending their stay for some friendlies I could only imagine they will play here in NY. Come out for a game!

I sold my Z but you got it my dude!

I'd also go to a Milan game any day so if you hear anything keep me posted on that as well!

Arsenal looked poor in the second half vs. Napoli, and looked poor in the 40min I could bear to watch against City... and then we conceded six total goals.

Unreal.

We have just started a very tough set of games and have not started well...

The Napoli game was coming off of a shitstorm against Everton (which we really should have taken 3 points if we were on our game), which was also following a midweek Hull game that followed a reasonably good Cardiff fixture. It's just congestion at this point, every single player that walked out at the Etihad (save Feo) looked tired. Ramsey's engine is shot right now and needs a bit of a break, Ozil's still adjusting to the demands of the EPL, and Giroud is...well, Giroud. Lungbusting runs, but needs to finish, and he can only keep the line for so long.

This Chelsea game is going to be tough, and then we head to WHU (the throwaway game of this set of games) before going to Newcastle, who are in good form. VERY tough for the Gunners right now, but if we were claiming to be Championship material, this is the time to prove it.

Personally, I think our time is next year. We need just a little more quality in the striker department.

You're probably right.

I just don't want to go another year reading and hearing the **** about Arsenal not being good enough, eight years (or whatever it is now, I stopped counting) without a trophy, blah blah blah.

I want it to end this year.

Be patient. It will. Things come with time. I was dying for so long for Bayern to win the CL again and it happened. Stick with it my brotha.

Bayern sign Lewandowski to a 5yr deal @ 11mil a year

[Haboob]

And Swansea def. ManUre 2-1 to knock them out of the FA Cup.

[saber]

Sunderland just spanked them out of the Capital One Cup too SUNDERLAND!!!! aka Man United rejects! bwahahaha

edit: ManU have the home leg still. so they're not out yet. boo.

RvP must be having the time of his life on the injury table right now, it feels so familiar!

Also I absolutely LOVED the FA cup against spurs, Theo notwithstanding.

Aston Villa, Fulham, Southampton, Crystal Palace...these are games we need to bank points away. Man City is too close and too good this year!

That, and Liverpool -> Man United -> BAYERN ******* MUNICH. So stoked for the UCL.

[saber]

Mourinho is bloody brilliant. Take 4 pts off Manchester United, then ship away Juan Mata to ManU so they can get more points off of the other title contenders: Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool (lol). ******* manager, but bloody brilliant.

Anyone see Thiagos goal?

Wow, it's been a while since any of us have posted in here.

However, the World Cup is around the corner. Here's the confirmed US squad:

United States confirmed squad:

Goalkeepers: Brad Guzan, Tim Howard, Nick Rimando

Defenders: DaMarcus Beasley, Matt Besler, John Brooks, Geoff Cameron, Timmy Chandler, Omar Gonzalez, Fabian Johnson, DeAndre Yedlin

Midfielders: Kyle Beckerman, Alejandro Bedoya, Michael Bradley, Brad Davis, Mix Diskerud, Julian Green, Jermaine Jones, Graham Zusi

Forwards: Jozy Altidore, Clint Dempsey, Aron Johannsson, Chris Wondolowski


Landon Donovan left out. Beasley becomes the first (and only) to make four WC's for the US. Donovan should be in there, even if it's as a sub.

[Haboob]

Oh, and The Arsenal are FA Cup champs. Trophy drought is over and Wenger has the backing to "spend big" in the Summer.

We'll see how that last part goes...
