See, this is why I gotta stop.
People getting upset.
By Freewheelin Go To Postlmao that Venezuelan Real Madrid fan/reporter says that after Wenger found out about Guardiola's call, he called and spoke to Benzema "in length" today about his importance to the club.srsly, when is this shit going to stop :lol
Was laughing at that. She tap their phones?
The only thing preventing Benzema's move is Real's lack of crazy signings this summer.
Who are they going to sign? Who *could* they sign? Pretty much all the big strikers seem locked in at their current clubs.
Except, of course, Llorente.

By wedward Go To PostI am pretending we aren't going to sign Benzema.People in here get very salty over it. I don't want to ruin Horse's day.

Yeah, see, exactly this. There is no way Florentino would ever allow something like this, even if it made tacticleh sense.
By wedward Go To PostWas laughing at that. She tap their phones?she has a source at RM who's telling her this stuff, lol

Loooooool
By Ricky Go To PostPelè which one was the best Brazil? 1958, 1982, 1998.Please tell me (I think I already know)
From the 3? 58 of course.
The greatest is 70. The worst champions is 94.
The best non champions is 82.
By Slizz Go To PostYou jus move Ronnie up top and slot Lavezzi in.Ronaldo hates playing there, and he's bigger than the club, so that's never going to happen no matter what.
By Pele.gif Go To PostRicky m8, do you know who do you remember me with all this h8 against arsenal?My boi Lambda
By Pele.gif Go To PostFrom the 3? 58 of course.The greatest is 70. The worst champions is 94.The best non champions is 82.
And both the times you beat us in the final
#juve'd
EDIT: and 82 was the Rossi uprising
What a story lads. WC used to be so special, fuck Spain and whoever came after.
I thought 58 was better than 70 anyway
By fadetoblack Go To PostLavezzi Because arsenal needs is a striker who can't score.
Read the tweet again.
Unless you mean Benzema is a striker that can't score.

By wedward Go To PostRead the tweet again. Unless you mean Benzema is a striker that can't score.Remember when Benzema couldn't score
Real Madrid made him the player he is today
By Auto Go To PostRemember when Benzema couldn't scoreReal Madrid made him the player he is todayWith Ronaldo and Bale each taking 2 defenders I'd score 80 goals in a single Liga season.
Benzema is actually perfect for Arsenal, he might even get fat in a couple years, imagine the choking of a Ozil x Giroud x Benzema team.
By fadetoblack Go To PostAh no I misread it. Still benitez also reportedly request Llorente so grain of saltTwo cases here
a) tabloids need some Real Madrid muppetry so they link Benitez with Serie A players from teams he faced/trained
b) Benitez is fucking stupid and thinks he can build his own Outer Heaven in the Santiago Bernabeu
I hope it's the latter, will be so godly to see him burst in the sky with all those crap players (the ones he has now, not Llorente nor Lavezzi)
By Auto Go To PostWe should buy berardiNow you've gone too far m8.
Reilo, Linius, anyone. You know what to do.
By Auto Go To PostWe should buy berardiGo buy El Shaarawy
Even Shanks will be happy
By Ricky Go To PostGo buy El ShaarawyEven Shanks will be happyTbh I rate berardi higher than Shaarawy
Has anyone listened to the Giant Beastcast? Gita Jackson guesting. She's happy and decently chatty and not a misanthrope so she balances Alex quite well.
By fadetoblack Go To PostYou're more likely to sign Benzema than Berardi.Also you won't sign Benzema.
I think Real would sell him in a heartbeat for 60M€, if - and it's a big if - there was a big name striker they could replace him with this mercato window. Far as I can see, there isn't, so Arsenal's chances drop massively.

Giant Bombast has all the disillusionment I can take on a weekly basis. How does the Beastcast compare in general?

Do you like Vinny being Vinny? How much do you like Vinny being Vinny? If you like it enough to deal with Bitter Navarro, then I suggest it. Austin Walker has some pretty intelligent contributions and he seems to enjoy video games more than Alex and Jeff anyway.
Vinny is amazing in it tho. His whole let me explain dbz in five minutes was amazing.
Chelsea are set to sign Augsburg left-back Baba Rahman, 21, in a deal that could be worth up to £21.7m. (Daily Express)

I only started listening to the Bombcast recently, so I'm not familiar with Vinny at all. The couple of times we was a guest on the Bombcast I pretty much hated him. Seemed like your typical perennially annoyed gaming journalist with that trademark holier than thou attitude. A less funny Jeff, if you will. I could've gotten the wrong impression though, only heard him speak once or twice.

Might very well end up being the best signing of this summer. Mark my werds.
By Freewheelin Go To PostDid Madrid replace Ozil with Isco? or did they buy him the year after?They replaced him right away
Imagine waiting a year for Isco
By Ricky Go To Posthttps://vine.co/v/eMxz9pqFX5p:(
I love Morata unironically. Scores in big games. I understand he's not booting in 25 a season but allegri not playing him much would make me very very sad.
At the end, I didn't swap shirts with anyone. I don't want any memory of that day. I didn't even take the medal. I don't have silver medals at home.
Fucking legend. I'd love that at Arsenal.
By Lambda Go To Postthe fuck has happened to Colin Farrell?I can't even find a funny answer to this question.
he looks like shit
It's make-up. He's acting.
By Zabojnik Go To PostMight very well end up being the best signing of this summer. Mark my werds.If he flops/doesn't play/gets injured I'm holding you personally accountable
You did call Cuadrado being a flop so your record solid right now
By Dissonance Go To PostIf he flops/doesn't play/gets injured I'm holding you personally accountableYou did call Cuadrado being a flop so your record solid right nowDo you think this will mean Azpilicueta moving back to the right and Ivanovic being dropped?
