Gareth Bale is playing out of his mind right now. He had a brace yesterday and was very close to a hat trick but was denied a couple of times by Krul.

Ruiz will provide width at the right time but he will also come in side and link up if he has to.
Thank you Arsenal for loaning us Frimpong. He didn't play today, but I have been begging for attacking mid for awhile. I thought we'd target Arshavin in the transfer window, but didn't happen. I can't wait to see what Fulham look like with Berbatov, Rodallega, Frimpong and Ruiz out there should be good.
Yeah I just quoted myself so what. Frimpong looked like $*** in his first start, Emanuelson is 10 times better Arsenal can have Frimpong back on this loan deal unless Frimpong plays better. He looked lost for Fulham for the 60 mins he played. Considering Fulham killed Norwich earlier this yr, it was almost embarassing to draw with them on the road last Sat

Nice ******* laser off the left foot there. Wow.
They say that English surnames came from what you did with your life. I'm so glad my last name isn't Dickinson. -

I saw that goal happen live yesterday. I love how Friedel is just flat footed and watches the missile fly past him helplessly.

Re: Premier League Thread
Good for Robbie Rogers. I'd be curious to know if he feels the need to retire because he simply doesn't want to play anymore/pursue other interests or if he feels like he doesn't want to have to fight the battle as an openly gay athlete who is still playing.

Re: Premier League Thread
Probably a little of both. There's a lot of hostility in sports, and most still feel like "the locker room" doesn't have the same expectations of civility as other professional workspaces.

That almost looked like a banana kick but it was done off the bounce. Crazy.

Re: Premier League Thread
At 25 years old I don't see any other reason for his retirement. It's a sham that he feels that he needs to retire, but good luck to him on his future. I was always a big fan of his when he played under Sigi Schimd in Columbus. It will be interesting to see how other footballers react.

Re: Premier League Thread
European soccer fans still heckle the **** out of black players, I imagine it'd be similar for an openly gay man.
