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

Am I right in thinking the only French player he's played with recently is noted friendship creator Charles N'Zogbia?

thinking of anelka at city clearly

"wales? that's another country?"
"yes and no"

Spurs currently getting a pasting from Monaco. 5-1 with twenty minutes to go.

Fryers and Livermore not being good enough center backs against Falcao shocker.

The mighty Kevin Stewart and Nabil Bentaleb coming on rescue things for Spurs

this gerrard testimonial sounds fucking rubbish, why is it only steve harper that knows what's up?

To mark his 20-year spell at the club, the goalkeeper has called on old friends Shearer, Les Ferdinand, Rob Lee and Faustino Asprilla to become team-mates once again as they form Newcastle United XI.

It is also hoped David Ginola, Andy Cole and Peter Beardsley will make a return for the game, but the full line-up is yet to be confirmed.

The stalwarts of Premier League football will take on the AC Milan Glorie legends team made up of Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Costacurta and Andriy Shevchenko.

Harper's been planning this for a long time

Bren all over my telly just now talking about how much Louis owes the club (pronounced as in J4gger). Has he always done that?

the spanish gloves are off

as well he should!! if i played somewhere for 15 years and they sorted me out with olympiakos i'd be fuming

unless of course i've entirely misunderstood and the gerrard game was 90 minutes of everyone trying to recreate the 2004 cl goal phoenix from the flames style

specially commissioned steve reich piece looping "ohhh you beauty what a hit son" over the tannoy throughout

or screwed & chopped phil collins 'against the odds', take your pick son

AVB now saying Bale isn't for sale.

andy gray's signature moment. GO AND ENJOY IT SON

tho his sombre worthy rant after this goal is incredible. the "take a bow" has a mournful quality to it - like usually he roared "take a bow" as if he was the dean of the cunted shot college welcoming a new member, but this one is like he has realised that this is a cunting beyond his ken, a sobering cunt.

plus martin tyler's "oh, ooowurgh" is far, far into orgasmic territory.

God, yeah - it's an eleven-year-old realising that he's not going to the moon, he's never going to the moon. Life does not hold that in store for him. And this first glimpse of the eternal disappointment of adulthood occurs while having to commentate on his handsome, talented classmate's acceptance into Astronaut School.

PS I bet the stadium announcer rues his timing every night, as he sedates himself to sleep.

probably the most revolting 59 seconds of commentary ever recorded

r|t|c and garda to battle to the ban this season imo

whoever wins...we all win

probably the most revolting 59 seconds of commentary ever recorded

otm tho we should welcome other suggestions.

i can think of some silly american commentary but that doesnt count

many laboured peter drury scripts in contention i spose but the truest disgust requires spontaneity beyond imagination

theres always revolting ITV commentary during englands games. also david pleat

guy mowbray

tyldsley is generally bad but not sure he has any marquee bitesize performances

was it drury who roared "bafana bafana golllllllllllllllllllll" in the last world cup? that was prob worse than gray above.

oh god yeah that was excruciating

I could watch this goal over and over again. Gives me the chills everytime!

"a goal for all of africa"

he doesn't quite do an african accent but he does do something despicable.

sort of slows down his syllables when saying tshabalala like he's imitating a 40s hollywood movie's tribal chief.

i think we all know what it's time to rescreen

I genuinely can't bring myself to watch that again.

How did you feel about that then?

God that Andy Gray bit is incredible. I actually miss him...in a way. The way he actually starts talking directly to Gerrard "If anyone ever doubted you"

not only the worst piece of commentary ever, but possibly the worst thing that's ever happened. Jim Beglin is guilty by association. Hell, all of Africa is guilty at that rate.

lads, I feel like I need acknowledge the absolute pasting Donegal just took from Mayo. 4-17 to 1-10, you've never see a beating like it. The fucking reigning All-Ireland champions.

Just had to get that out there

i'm sure one of them went 'sing, africa! sing!' didn't they?

xp Um, congrats? Or commiserations, I don't understand your geography.

I feel we could use an ILF non-football thread actually

no

theres an afl forum

if #0 and deems want to recreate the mayo/donegal rivalry on ilx then there are plenty of other subforums to co-opt for gaa bantz

I just had to make it real, you know?
