Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

On Arsenal.com he's confirmed Ospina can eventually replace Cech

This is HUGE!

Some say....He`s been actually on holiday since 2005.

Too true. One long holiday. He's taken over £60 mill out of Arsenal since his false promises over a decade ago. How long did the great train robbers get?

Nothing happening today fellas, apparently we contacted Leicester about Marhez but were told politely to f--k off.

There are ways around that......upping one'a bid by £1 being one them

They don't take kindly to £1 bids up there.

LOL - got snapped sneaking off to Ulan Bator where there are no phones or faxes.

Well no, not really. It's all about what you can stomach. Just because a number of sports have become corporate playgrounds, it doesn't mean you'll find purity elsewhere. That certainly doesn't exist. And even if you can somehow find that in today's world, it won't be long before that is chewed up too. The only choices you have are which of the lesser evils you are currently willing to turn your face from before they eventually become too large to ignore. Every form of entertainment over the past thirty years has slowly been placed into this vice-like grip where it isn't merely about paying for the services you desire like a good citizen. It's forcing you to pay over and above what is needed just to see the bare minimum, bleeding your pockets dry in the process. The best part is, you are made to feel as if we are in a revolutionary system where we get to pick and choose what we want when we want it. Depending on which side of the fence you sit, that is either supreme selling or deceit of the highest order.

That's a bleak outlook. Purity is in the lower leagues or just playing with mates. You don't even have to go that far. Those who are sick of Sky and BT can just find an illegal stream. That is what happened with the music industry. The regular gunk stopped selling because of illegal downloads and now industry execs are scrambling trying to find a new model. What you'll find is most people are willing to support an independent model over the corporate structure. I don't know how things will work in football, but the bottom line is, if everyone rushes out to pay for the new BT Sports package to go along with their Sky Sports package then nothing changes. I don't know how long BT have the rights for but if it's profitable and makes them a load of money, I'm sure someone else will try to get a look in on the rights if they want in on the sports money. If it fails miserably and illegal streams rocket, it's a kick in the teeth for them and they'll walk away.

Anyway, spending too much time on this. It's deadline day.

@JWTelegraph
Nothing expected today at Arsenal (as has been case since Cech signed).

Hadda nuff

[Power n Glory]

Pato is absolute sh*t, one of the most overrated footballers, the fact he got packed off to Brazil by Milan tells you what you need to know, hasn't done well in Brazil either.

Does he even get a call up to Brazil? I'm sure he has some sort of talent and would be one of those fallen star type projects that Wenger may be able to bring back to life....but we ain't got time for that.

[Munchies]

Either Cavani or Great Khali

A lot of that is true in some respects, but the pigs follow the sheep. If everyone got pissed off with the PL and started watching non-league footie then the pigs would be attracted to that because the numbers would work. There needs to be robust discrimination against pigs in all forms of sport. Some of the most iconic moments in sport were delivered in crummy stadiums and on one of the three available TV channels. These pigs aren't required, they don't add value. Hopefully more people are going to start seeing it. Calling BT today to tell them to fuck off with their super duper package. Tried to watch the match on the weekend on that BT Player. Had to switch to a pirate stream to avoid all the freezing, resetting and pixelation.
