Do the liverpool fanboys have any comments on this?
It goes along with the rest of the Arse team, spineless. At least the fans are getting a laugh out of it for now though:

It seems the premiere league does not hold a candle to the swiss super league when it comes to own goal:

As a Young Boys fan living in Bern, all I could do was shake my head. Nothing we aren't used to though, no title here since 1986 and in a 10 team league you figure the capital city of the country would win once or twice per 20 years.

Naturally the headline is misleading since it was that he wanted to live in London and not that he didn't want to live in Liverpool. It could just as easily been written as Alexis didn't want to live on the moon.

But the question probably warrents a comment from Arsenal fans more. Do they want a player who has chosen their club based on their city? Possible he's valued their night clubs or shopping or wife's hair dressing options more than what they club itself is offering.

This is nothing new in any sports. There's a reason why players like playing in NY and LA too.

Can't imagine anyone would choose to live in Liverpool, or indeed anywhere in the country other than London (with money of course).

Yeah, I had a quick look and they generate pretty a pretty average match day revenue. They've got a 52k stadium (and average 50k attendance) which is one of the biggest around, but it's a great fan service to keep it down in an expensive market.

Other fun stats from today:United/LFC top tv chartsas one would expect - there's a funny table at the bottom which would be a bit more Spanish style modelling, crazy money.

Fucking hell, you Brits have to subscribe to both Sky and BT to watch your footie? There's 64m people in the UK yet only 7m subscribe to Sky and less than 5m to BT? LOL. Though that just further confirms that any ManC fan arguing that their commercial revenue should be on par with ManU or LFC is just smoking crack. Hello fake business contracts from the Sheikh's family.....

It will be more like this.

----------------Benzema
-----Ronaldo---Rodriguez---Bale
-------------Kroos---Modric

-----------------Lopez

Their defense is going to be horrendous.

Fucking hate RM - getting rid of the player who won you the CL when the rest of the team wasn't doing shit to bring in a guy (fresh off of a few brilliant WC games) who simply isn't as good. That team looks loaded, but that is a heck of an unbalanced MF/Defense. They better load up the goals in CL to stand a chance at winning it. Not saying James is bad, he's fantastic - but he hasn't done as much or contributed as much as Di Maria. They'll really miss Angels defensive work as well...

We can't watch televised 3pm kickoffs due to some rule in place to protect attendance of the lower leagues. Thats why we have the early/late kickoffs televised plus Sunday/Monday games, Used to always be on a Saturday. The coverage you get on NBC? sports is crazy compared to the absolute shit coverage we get, watch anygame you want. I end up streaming most games I want to see since the coverage is garbage here, fuck paying ?75 a month for a sky package to watch a handful of games.

I get bt sport free as bt is my isp.

I will never ever subscribe to Sky, all my entertainment content is pirated. There's enough reliable hd streams to not need it, plus going the pub for the big games

Chelsea have to be clear favourites to win, their squad is pretty immense now, although Mourinho....

How old is that law in regards to no live games during the 3pm hour? In a way that's outrageous and I doubt there is any proof that it actually helps the lower leagues or local teams.

For that picture above, you need to replace Fabregas and Oscar in the right hand side with Ramires and Mikel. Oscar was already being benched last year while Hazard just got off with a verbal slagging, only a matter of time before the same happens to Fabregas as he's too similar to Mata in my mind.

So Man United beat LA Galaxy 7-0, are they really that bad or was it a B team that was played or something?
