Don’t.

One thing you need to learn upfront as a Dortmund fan is your young good players will almost always be leaving.

I know

That was my initial hesitation with this team but the heart wants what the heart wants.

Did you pick a Premier League team yet?

Nope. I figure it makes more sense to wait and see instead of trying to force it.

Brighton and Leeds are definitely interesting. And of the big names I’d probably lean towards Arsenal because I remember almost exclusively using them when I was a kid playing whatever FIFA had Thierry Henry on the cover (2004, I think).

But I don’t know yet so we’ll see if anything jumps out as I watch more games.

This fits.

This Mitoma kid is amazing.

 

[Jack Straw]

It has begun...

You must be thinking of someone else. Rice just turned 24 this month. He's just entering his prime.
He's been around for a while though. I think he's been a first team player for West Ham since he was 18. Don't think he was ever linked with Arsenal until now though.

I think he would be a great long term Xhaka (or Partey) replacement.

Lol I thought he was older. Must be that he broke in as a teen.

@Appleyard Are you following the Blades takeover? What's going on there? Story's getting crazier by the day.

Du bust nach Dorrmund gezogen?

No, but literally twenty minutes away from there. There is everything, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Duisburg, Frankfurt, Leverkusen, Gelsenkirchen (Schalke), Bochum, Mönchengladbach

Ivan Provorov is about to explode

Oh sorry I meant only his religious beliefs

Oh shit, that’s awesome.

I woke up at 9am on a Saturday to watch this game. Pretty inconsiderate of them to schedule it at this time, but I’ll let it slide.

Yeah from a different pov I was also quite surprised to see all the local games start at 3 damn 30 in the afternoon

Oh, my sweet, summer child.

9 am is sleeping in if you want to watch games.

The morning starts before NFL and CFB are the best parts of it.

The 7/7:30 AM starts can suck though and I swear there's a one week period between daylight savings times that games can start at 6:30 EST.

When I was best coast living, those 430am games were a toss up between "just keep the party going" and "Maybe I'll nap first".

 

[Striiker]

Undefeated since I started watching.

Can't be a coincidence.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Big Serie A games start at 12 or 12:45. Js.

[Striiker]

Napoli have the worst logo in sports.

f***ing Times New Roman "N" in a blue circle? Trash. You suck.

Also speak of things I hate, @BigToe Arsenals home kits are terrible but I love those black and copper/gold ones. Collars are stupid and so are white sleeves.

I need them to change the home ones before I can seriously consider this team. Please send word and let them know of my concerns.

Not a fan of collars on kits either. Other than that I like all of the kits this year. The white sleeves are fire, Striko.

Ok, fine. If they lose the collar I guess I can tolerate the sleeves.

But I’m not happy about it. I’m still going to bitch and whine.

Speaking of bitching and whining, what the hell is up with no PL teams having good hats for sale???
