Arq

Xbox 360: x Arq x Arq was taken so I added the x to the front and back.

That's good to know. Around my area, there are quite a few of the NB "outlet" stores. The gear is certainly top notch at second tier prices. Good stuff. My mum and pops wear NB exclusively for their morning brisk walks that they do. It's good to see a corporation not just farm out to the country with the cheapest labour. I'm a big Adidas fan, but even I know that the goods are made in the country with the lowest manufacturing and labour costs. If Warrior is the same way, and I have no reason to believe that they are not, then this is not only a win for NB but a win for the folks that are working in those factories.

Funny enough, the one company that has a lot of their products made in the US by people earning a fair wage is... New Balance. As far as I remember, the bulk of their running shoes and clothing products are still made in the US (if not all of them). I don't know if Warrior is the same though.

What I've noticed with Adidas is that they are going for bulk versus just the top clubs. They have the entire MLS, and when you start looking at the "mid-level" clubs you'll see a lot of Adidas worn kits.

They have Germany and Spain also. I know they bring in some good coin all around. I agree, it sounds like a way to help with the FFP.

How true of a statement this is with them now down 1-0.

Is it just player mode that's H2H or can the manager mode be online as well? I ask because NCAA Football for Xbox has an online dynasty mode. The concept is really cool to go H2H versus another manager. I didn't know if Fifa had that or not. I'll have to try it (if no one knows the answer) when I get home.

I'll drink to that!

It was a joy to see the Bison back on the pitch. I hope he can stay healthy for us now and in the future. Not just for our sakes, but for his.

Welcome Gary!

Torres MOTM for me.

Agreed. I would just hate to be raked over the coals as far as his price. Although, I assume that's going to happen regardless of who we go after.

I would be happy to edge the Spuds and get to third. That would make me giggle. I want more, but I'll take what I can get.

Thanks, but I'm not sure I wanted to see that this morning while I'm still enjoying my coffee...

If we're throwing out 40 million, grab Götze. He's amazing and is already proving himself at the club and country levels.

Well done lads! West Ham at Staines, that's what I'm seeing via twitter.

Spuds 1 - Everton 0 Lennon scored.

That's pretty good. Hehe.

Man, that is a pretty lineup...

I'm not voting since I couldn't see the match on TV or via streaming. Sounds like Ramires was his typical workhorse-self, which is good.

From what I'm seeing on twitter, he's starting the reserve game. Welcome back Essien.

Sad part is that they are partially correct. The media is often inaccurate and ruthless. Some mates and I are going through this right now with the Penn State University football head coach hiring fiasco. The difference is that if/when this is JT, they would be all over us calling for the most extreme of punishments instead of being rational and understanding it's the SAME MEDIA OUTLETS causing the problems.

I just watched that video. Stunned. I'm literally stunned. I'm not sure how to even react to it... Unbelievable.

A lot of the young German stars are preferring to stay in Germany. I don't get to watch too much of the Bundesliga, wish it was on more here.

I know that I don't want to see this signing at £120k/week or even at £90k/week. The transfer fee is fine, and ok so he's getting £50k/week at Bolton but that much of a raise? I wouldn't necessarily call that cheap especially if he signs for us long term. I agree with your other points though.
