Well here we go again. The season begins August 18th, but there's still plenty going on in the meantime!


Transfer season is in full swing, with various sources reporting everything under the sun with absolutely no basis.

And seemingly every team is going on tour of somewhere, because evidently teams like Norwich need to bolster their support in places like southern California and Malaysia.


Will Manchester United keep the title?
Will Manchester City not be a mess?
Will Chelsea's Jose Mourinho get himself sacked by Christmas?
Will Arsenal be stuck waiting another season to win a trophy?
Will Tottenham finally get a champions league spot?

Here's to a hopefully entertaining season with plenty of great action leading up the BRAZIL 2014!

Bakerpowadiddas and nike are going to be battling over this whole sock/boot combo. if you havent seen the concept adiddas has the primeknit sock. the regular boot version can be bought on ebay for a measly 4k...


that being said iv always had ctrs or tiempos, im a huge fan of all black/black with highlights. i like a boot with solid color then highlight of something.

im gona try and get a pair of magistas like this



tiempos are sweet. i had a pair in all white with some blue outline around the tick. loved them.

i like the knitted boot it looks cool but its a proper summer boot. i wouldn't take it anywhere near weather haha.

After owning a pair of Safari Vapors and then GS2's, I decided to jump ship and bought some Predators and have been loving them. Super comfortable yet still light on your feet.

Just a heads up for the Americans, NBC is broadcasting all the matches across their various stations. So look around for them all. Arsenal, for example are on MSNBC. but there will also be matches on E!, oxygen, and whatever other channels they own.

It'll be weird to watch games on those channels such as E, Bravo, Science Fiction Channel, and what not. Wonder if they'll have announcers for all the games

Ramsey's strike was a great way to end the season for him. I'm excited for next year! Hopefully Man U continues to be garbage, Tottenham surely will continue to be garbage, hopefully Arsenal can buy a striker and avoid injuries to challenge for the title till the end. If not, I wanna see Liverpool knock off Man City next season for Gerrard's sake.

So all it takes to win the premier league is a billion dollars....

Today seemed predictable. City was never gonna slip up at home against west ham.


Now on to the real entertainment....the FA cup final!

Madrid are clearly just waiting for the cl final. Barca clearly just aren't trying anymore and will need to be a lot better next weekend if they want any chance of beating atletico.

agree with naymar his on a similar level.

maybe like a love/hate? normally i can't stand an arrogant footballer but for some reason i love him! sometimes a lot of the stuff he says get taken completely out of context and it seems half the time he has a cheeky smirk on his face as if his just joking or saying it for a laugh. he can be a complete dick though.

I adore Ibra, my favorite footballer by far. He is arrogant to a point where its hilarious yet like Ronaldo certainly backs it all up. And better yet he can still laugh at himself every now and then

Are these comments sarcastic? Couple of my friends said it was an awful final and a 0-0 game needing to be decided by penalties sounds anything but exciting.

I missed the first half which was meant to be a bit dry but the second half was like a basketball game both teams just went at it. poor tactics from the managers but it made for a good game. it was going to be 4-4 or 0-0

I watched it. It was pretty good, largely due to each attacking move having such a potentially large implication. After watching I'm convinced the top 3 teams in the world are Spanish and I'm by no means a La Liga fan boy. Really wish Atletico could keep their team together even though I know it won't happen.
