Hummels is waiting for relegation to jump ship to Bayern, along with Reus. I gave everything to Dortmund but now they cant afford me so I must go.

Just finished season 2 of the Bridge. Great stuff. Might start watching some of these superhero shows when my exams are over. Speaking of, I'm frantically reading Virginia Held - The Ethics of Care: Personal, Political, and Global. Solid stuff.

Not great with uni exams. My mind has gone blank in a few, I get so nervous I need to pee, and...uh...I kinda quoted Buffy the Vampire Slayer in an exam on 90s genocide in Rwanda and Somalia.

Silva's 29?! Whoa! How long has he been at City? 4 years??
4 and a half. He still looks pretty young but is getting up there like much of our squad. Can definitely be like Pirlo or Xavi and play for a long, long time at a high level though. I hope we keep him for another 5 years at least.

Strootman is handling his imminent move with great class.

I thought he'd be signed by now, I am now nervous it's not happening.

Are City refusing to sell Nastasic to another premier league team? I think it's crazy Manchester United aren't jumping at him if they would let him go to another prem. team. Why join Schalke, So he can get battered by Madrid 10-0 every season in the UCL?

Well we want top 4 but not since 1993 have we moved the required 4 spots up in the table between January and the end of the season. We'll finish top 5 optimistically, and 7th realistically.

Everytime I see the GamersGate Thread bumping up I feel like going for a facepalm. I cant believe people still argue about this.

I was kidding of course. I dont buy all the Dark Souls and Bloodborne hype #Overrated

I was once like you, ignorant and full of myself. Then came a shining light, called Yurt and his Dark Souls obsession. Through me it shone, piercing the dark void that shrouded my waning gaming heart like the sun at the break of dawn on a cold and foggy winter Sunday in Stoke. Through and through it shone, until I was illuminated whole. Praise the Sun. Praise the Yurt. Praise the Sun.

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/419186/Lukas-Podolski-Arsene-Wenger-Arsenal

What the hell Wenger? Didn't even say goodbye to Podolski? That's just straight up bullshit from Wenger. Podolski did his best for our club, you can't ask for more. He was't good enough but it's hard to begrudge Podolski when Wenger is doing is utmost to give Sanogo an Arsenal career at better players expense.

I'm not that sad Podolski is gone but he deserved a goodbye and respect. He didn't slag the club off, always played when asked. He's just not an Arsenal type player but no need to be disrespectful to him.

Arsene can be a real prick at times it seems.
