"We've momentum and we can't afford to lose it tbh"- The '13-'14 summer transfer window thread for PL and beyond

Id rather take some fair credit for my wholly-intended efforts on another ilf thread tbpfh

I'd find it perfectly reasonable if he didn't want to go back to the midlands just because it's too depressing

ah southerners, never change

I'm from Leicester

easterners *spit*

but i thought you was an Arsenal oh wait

Tevez is a half a season legend at West Ham and they're probably the only fans in England who unambiguously love him. It can work

tbf if i'd come from Leicester i'd probly think the whole Midlands was bleak

ah here birmingham is shite wherever you're from

I saw Villa beat Leicester (3-2?) at Filbert Street when Julian Joachim was still a thing, that was good

it's only july but nonetheless, he's ready

strootman off to roma for 17m. should be pretty fiesty with benatia as well

Serie a resurgence as a draw for top foreign players btw?

as good as a new signing lads

David Moyes will keep hold of Nani at Manchester United after convincing the winger that his future lies at Old Trafford, Goal can reveal.

The 26-year-old has been told that the new manager regards him as central to his plans for United's first team and will underline that importance with a lucrative contract extension.

managed to hold off valencia/sunderland's interest

I'm honestly really pleased

Sky sources: Wayne Rooney angry and confused by Manchester United's comments on his future.

disoriented, aggrieved, soiled with piss

The Premier League today secured a judgment in the High Court requiring the six main UK-based Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to block access to one of the biggest illegal live football-streaming sites in the UK.

The High Court ruled that First Row Sports was acting jointly with third party streaming services to communicate to the public live footage of Premier League matches in breach of the Premier League’s copyright.

Section 97A of the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 has been used previously by the music and film industries to secure protection from illegal streaming sites, such as Pirate Bay, but this is the first time that a sporting body has sought an order blocking a site that infringes its copyright.

It is also the first time that an order has been granted against a website that facilitates access to other illegal streaming sites.

A Premier League spokesman said: “We are extremely pleased that the order blocking this website has been granted and we will be enforcing it, in conjunction with the ISPs, ahead of the 2013/14 Barclays Premier League season.

“It is absolutely imperative that content industries are afforded protection under the law if they are to continue investing in the sort of quality talent and facilities that has made them successful and of interest in the first place.

“The judgment recognises the parasitic nature of the enterprise; this was an out and out commercial operation with estimated revenues of up to £10 million a year, whilst giving nothing back to the sport.

Noooooooo

Even better than Nando's hairdressers ad

Had lunch in Brindley Place today, fuck all heathens itt that think Birmingham isn't an alright place to live. Wish Spurs / Arse / Chelsea would stop being such babies about it and lob us the requisite £25 million to get Benteke to fuck off, bear the lad no ill-will after the season he's just had but he's coming across as a bit of a bell-end atm.

Far, far more concerned about this news re: streaming games. I'm not sure how much this will actually impact on things though. Will they not just start springing up from elsewhere? There always seems to be a decent range available

I like Birmingham, I've had many a good time there.

Re streaming, I assume there'll be ways round - will need help from you lot obv. Sad about firstrow, they've always been good to me.

Never found them as good as wiziwig tbph

What Moyes actually said was "if we get an injury to Van Persie we're going to need him", which a) is completely true and b) doesn't actually imply that he's not going to be in the starting line-up at all.

Not sure if this is remotely comprehensive or accurate, but:

first row's been my go to for the last couple of years

this was an out and out commercial operation with estimated revenues of up to £10 million a year, whilst giving nothing back to the sport.

unlike...oh take your pick, filthy dishonest money-grubbing Premier League cuntz

that aerial duels figure is an outlier to put it extremely mildly

Balotelli found out obv

Surely the most poorly planned photo op of the summer is Swansea choosing to unveil their new record signing by making it look like he found his shirt in a hedge:

I like to imagine it as him lying down tbh

like he came through it, in the style of homer simpson as terminator.

The geography round had always been their Achilles heel.

Barbershop quartet auditioning dodgy new member imo
