From what I gather, Riviere is fast, explosive, strong and good in the air, but a very inconsistent finisher and his goal record isn't brilliant. Sounds like a second Obafemi Martins. Should be a fun option off the bench, at least.

I was an Actua Soccer 2 guy. It's a fucking incredible game! I still have a PSOne copy that I fire on every now then. So easy to score from the halfway line -- just make sure you're not facing backwards and unleash the thunderbastard. When I was a kid, I just used to play against San Marino every game because I was a little pussy. I can still name about half of their XI. UGOLINIIIIII!

It's another nail of mediocrity hammered into the coffin of Italian football, especially if, as reported, they're going to replace him with Massimiliano Allegri. For God's sake, Luciano Spalletti is available! Word on the internets is that Conte might be keen on the Italian national team job.
-
I'm gutted that Conte's gone. Domestically, at least, that team was fucking beautiful. Time for it to get picked apart now .
-
Really hope this doesn't happen. I think he's the most complete footballer on the planet and I don't want Man United to be good again.
-
I've never heard of any of their players but I appreciate that they have a lad called Henk Bos. Bet he's shite.
-
That's not about Gianfranco, mate...

Cabella in, Daryl Janmaat on the way. Shit, this might actually turn out to be a pretty swell summer at St. James' Park, y'know.

Class tournament. Easily the best in my lifetime (at least since I've been old enough to realise what's going on), and a nice step-up from the vuvuzela nightmare of 2010. Glad Germany won. From what I saw, it looked like they were the best team throughout. Italy were shite and undone by weird managerial decisions. Whatever. Highlights of the tournament, for me, were Karagounis trolling the shit out of everyone he played against ("what do you mean I can't go in knee-high, ref?"), that massive bastard grasshopper chilling on James Rodriguez, and seeing SHOLA AMEOBI playing at a World Cup. It's been the best.

Are the banks in Aberdeen open tomorrow?

GOT RID OF OBERTAN.

Inspired by the World Cup and ongoing Pardew fuckery, I've been inspired to start an anti-Pardew NUFC game. Mad attacking football, creative freedom, having fun, and not being a total shitpipe. I only want one destructive player in the XI (Tiote), and that's it. If you can't play sexy football, get fucked. Even the centre-backs. BPD's or bust. The first task was to sift through the shite. I was able to shift Gosling (Celtic), the Super Ameobi Brothers (Shola went to Celtic, Sammy to Leicester) and Rob Elliot (released) quickly. Nobody wanted to sign Paul Dummett, so I had to loan him to Forest, and I just can't shift Obertan. Even for free! West Ham came at me like "we'll only be interested if Newcastle lower their asking price... from ZERO POUNDS." Unbelievable. No idea what I'll do with him and his weird head now, but it'll likely involve cleaning Ben Arfa's boots and working in the canteen. I also punted Luuk De Jong back to Gladbach, just because. I was able to sign a few players with this money. Tonny Vilhena (AMC) and Jordy Clasie (CM) came in from Feyenoord, and picked Richairo Zivkovic (ST) up front Groningen. With more dough, I'd have replaced Taylor and Williamson as well, as there's no place in my vision for their rampant cloggery. I'll just have to cope with them as back-ups for the first season, unless Uncle Mike shifts enough giant Sports Direct mugs to give me a little budget boost. First XI is Krul; Debuchy, Yanga-Mbiwa, Coloccini, Santon; Clasie, Tiote; Ben Arfa, Marveaux; Cisse, Remy with Vilhena, Zivkovic and Gael Bigirimana my first choices off the bench. Season's just about to start. LET'S DO FOOTBALL.

Fucking dynamite. I should pay more attention to this forum...

New Pallbearer track. Fuckin'... dooooooom. Turns out they're playing in Glasgow with Yob in September and all. I'm gonnae get pure doomed oot ma nut.

Montpellier have confirmed that we're about to sign Remy Cabella, who that terrible knowledgeable Julien Laurens guy reckons is the new David Ginola (FM-tastic). I'm not going to get excited, because us signing fancy new players is like pouring perfume on a pig, but I've done a bit of Dennis Wise (Youtube) scouting and this guy looks pretty fucking handy:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el4jI2VemR8 Note: mute yer sound, because the song is whack.

Completely agree about the front office: that'll definitely hold them back. I think the Bennett pick says it all, really. That's all the fuckery you need. Irving, Wiggins, LeBron, Thompson and Varejao is a strong-ish five. They need a bit of maturation, of course, but I like it. There's talk of them pursuing Kevin Love, for whom they've apparently offered Bennett, Waiters and a draft pick. Ray Allen's also been linked. It'll be cool to see who they try to surround LeBron, Irving and Wiggins with, because I'm not at all ready to consider them a threat yet. On the other hand, the Heat have an absolutely massive wad to cash to play with, with LeBron leaving and Bosh likely headed to the Rockets. Only two of last season's players remain under contracts: Norris Cole is on about $2m a year, and Justin Hamilton is on about $800k. MAD BANK. It's going to be a fun summer.
-
They were after Cuadrado from Fiorentina and all, though that seems to have cooled down a notch. Fiorentina were demanding mad bank, and rightly so. EDIT: Just noticed that this has already been mentioned. Derp.

Last night's game literally put me to sleep. I was pretty disappointed when I woke up and found that Krul hadn't been subbed-on for the penalties. LVG out. There should definitely always be a third-place game, because it gives me another game of football to watch during the summer.

Why's it so hard to find a good crispy rowie these days? I don't buy them often, but I've only been able to find stupid, shitty soft ones these days. Shameful.

Those lovely young BONGRIPPER scamps have a new een oot. It's a fucking smacker. https://bongripper.bandcamp.com/album/miserable

Agreed. Although I would love to see a centre-back pairing of Grant Hanley and Gordon Greer play against Brazil, it'd be pretty hilarious.
-
I'm really glad about Brazil's shellacking last night, especially after the way they went about their business against Colombia. You do what you must in order to win, I get that, but it was a horrific game to watch. It was incredibly depressing to see a Brazilian side so inept that they had to resort to hacking the life out of the opposition's star player to nullify him. The Brazilian mystique is dead. They're a mostly excruciating side and a perfect reflection of their manager's dull demeanour.
