Does anyone take Wenger seriously anyway?

Best case scenario is Dempsey to Everton. Then he can come home to MLS for a few years. Then go back to Texas and drink beer/rap. Spurs fans gave him a lot of shit at times but I think deep down they know Clint always busted his ass out there for the team, even if he wasn't a great fit for AVB's system.

I dont think it's that bad of a thing that Dempsey is going to Seattle, but I would have loved to see him play a few more years in England.

Well, I mean if they are going to pay Dempsey a ton and he's going to get to play a lot more It's probably more fun for him. He'll make American soccer fun for us too. Seattle is already a pretty good TV draw anyway because the fans are so much fun.

I just don't think the level of play overall in the league is all that enticing for the most part.

The level of play in MLS is SO much higher than it was when Dempsey last played in the league. Obviously, it doesnt compare to a good European league, but I dont think Dempsey's play with the national team will be adversely affected by the fact that he now plays in MLS. That would have been a major concern 4 or 5 years ago, but not now.

One thing I like about Dempsey coming back to MLS is it's drawn a tiny bit of attention to what a miserable owner Kraft is.

At this point I should say something about Galatasaray but we were shite so I won't bother.

Yep. The irony is he's one of my heroes. Him, Roy Keane, Keown, Lauren, Cantona, the Mavericks.

I've not even bothered to find out if it was a penalty, we just done our usual thing of imploding and it started long before the equaliser.

Luis Suarez will always be a douche no matter where he plays ball.

Agreed. Liverpool need to realise richer clubs than us just don't need someone like him, and won't be prepared to outbid us.

Indeed. Best case scenario RM give up on Bale and go for Suarez. Liverpool would be stupid to sell him to Arsenal, but I think given his shenanigans they would also be foolish to keep him. Plus, I would love to see Arsenals transfer window blow up in their faces.

Suarez is a douche nozzle. Any club would be stupid to buy him.
