Hmm... Going on the idea of Pato leaving – Pato at Liverpool? He seems like a very Brendan Rodgers style player.

Except for the part about his bones being made of balsa wood
.

That's why he won't leave for more than €10m. And why it'll be really hard for him and Milan to find a new team for this particular reason.

It's a really complex situation, we had to sell him last January and buy Tevez.
 
How do I set referee theory test to Serie A rules? I want to make sure that if its a team playing Juventus that I make my decision accordingly.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
What's this ref test??

Q. Jonny Evans lunges at a player and catches him, missing the ball. Do you...

A1. Show a straight red to the player caught by Evans
A2. Book the attacking player for diving
A3. Wait for the ball to run out of play and then give a goal kick

So I'm hitting up London for my Birthday this weekend. What are good areas of the city to hit up for a big and diverse variety of pubs/clubs aimed at varying types of people? Aside from Camden which has long been my go-to place. Want to shake it up a bit and try some other bustling areas. Every other place in London that I've been to has been for different purposes other than checking out to see what they offer nightlife-wise, so I don't know the 'other Camdens' so to speak.

I hear Soho is a good spot too?

Soho's good, yeah. Shoreditch is good fun too.

I had a laugh at these three places in Shoreditch:

I got the same score. Is there anywhere I can see the results?

I'm genuinely curious for some of those questions. What happens if a strong wind blows the ball back into the net on a free-kick?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_free_kick

"
A goal may be scored directly from a direct free kick, but only against the opposing side (i.e. an own goal may not be scored). However, should the ball directly land in the own goal, a corner kick is awarded to the opposing team. A player may be penalised for an offside offence committed from a direct free kick."

That's what I went with. Can a player pass the ball in the penalty situation presented?

I think so, but the ball has to move forward and they're not allowed to encroach. So it's like Henry/Pires situation.

I went for head the ball, but only out of process of elimination.

Tap penalty
A two-man penalty or "tap" penalty occurs when the penalty-taker, instead of shooting to score a goal, taps the ball slightly forward and to the side so that a team-mate can run on to it. The team-mate, like all other players, must be at least ten yards from the penalty spot when the ball is kicked. This strategy depends on the element of surprise, so that the team-mate can reach the ball ahead of any defenders. It was made famous by Johan Cruyff in a match for AFC Ajax in 1982 against Helmond Sport.[3]

Arsenal players Thierry Henry and Robert Pirès famously failed in an attempt at a similar penalty in 2005, during a Premier League match against Manchester City at Highbury. Pirès ran in to take the kick, attempted to pass to the onrushing Henry, but miskicked; as he had touched the ball (but barely moved it), he could not touch it again, and City defender Sylvain Distin reached the ball before Henry could.[4]

5/12, but some pictures are blocked at work so I couldn’t see the ‘’assistant ref does this, what does it mean’’ pics and gambled there.

Fellaini will leave at the end of the season, Moyes more or less admitted that at the weekend. I doubt he'll stay in the PL, he'll probably go to PSG.

He's leaving for sure, probably Chelsea, PSG or GazProm league. I think he would fancy PSG for a few reasons.

Fellaini gone from PL would be to the league's credit. We have a team full of thugs and have no pressing need for more of them.

Fellaini and Ibra together, flying kicks and elbow drops galore.
