I was sitting here thinking I'll have to wake up in a few hours and how I wish I had an extra day to prepare.
Finals saved!
Now I can watch us play tomorrow/today with less pressure.
smh.
I know.. And I wouldn't even want to be with her again if I got a chance, I actually think I'm happier without her. That message still hurt though and makes me feel like she only did it because she knows I'm lonely as fuck right now and meanwhile she actually has someone.
And being alone is also horrible, I really need better friends or something.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I went out friday and my ex was there and we all slept over a house and she was on the sofa and I was on the floor and I really wanted to just slide in next to her and fall asleep with her innit, and I've felt like I really miss her since. In the long run though, I'm probably better off without her. And it seems like you might be better off without your ex if you think you're happier without her already.
Just try to spend time with whoever you can as much as possible right now.
I reckon that with all the teams that have given Spurs and Chelsea trouble, we can expect 2 or 3 points out of those two. Spurs will probably be the trickier of the two because of players like Dembele, who has historically always played well v us. City will be a loss, and I'm not quite sure we can expect a win v Cardiff but it's definitely the simplest on paper of those fixtures.
I think the fact Spurs are under a teensy little mini renaissance, and due to the fact that a lot of their troubles have been because teams are comfortably sitting back and defending against them (which Liverpool just won't do) could make it a nervy fixture. And Chelsea are Chelsea. They'll either win 2-0 and not give you a fucking sniff, or it'll be ridiculously tight.
Cardiff you just have to win in the midst of these games because there is a very real possibility you end up with 0 points out of 9 for them, so whether or not you win at Spurs, beat Chelsea, it should be disappointing not to win against Cardiff anyway. It's like one of the Newcastle fans in here was saying, he'd probably rather trade a win at Spurs for a win at home against Hull instead of the loss they did get, because it gives a better indication of what your team is and not what your team can do when they come up against the big boys. Swansea and the United results again proved that point a tad.
Diabolical Sandro handball
My ex used to send me messages like "I miss u" and "my scarf still smells like u
" after she dumped me and she would always set up dates to hang out, say shit like "u always make me so happy when we talk, I wanna see u" then cancel at the last minute every time. Girls can be wretched beings. Still, on occasion, 5 years later, she sends me emails with the same type of message. I never, ever want to go back to how I felt when she broke up with me, my entire summer was a disaster and my guy friends were getting sick of me being such a bummer all the time. I understand how you feel.
The upside to it all is that it really is just a matter of time and all that heaviness lightens up and you start enjoying being yourself again.
It's not a matter of being lonely or not I think. It's more to do with the massive drop in self esteem that comes from brooding over harmful thoughts like "someone I love doesn't want to be with me."

I'm pretty nervous about the upcoming Chelsea fixtures so I know dat feel, mayne.
Mou needs to mix it up a little and try something else because IMO Ramires and fat Frank as the two Defensive Mids isn't exactly working. Also need to tighten up how we defend against set pieces and the counter attack.

I don't think a team is in a healthy position when their strikers aren't scoring. Until you see some form of regularity come up for Spurs, with Soldado, Lamela, Eriksen and Defoe scoring more goals, it's hard to say that things are going well for them.
Strikers scoring goals is, to me, one indication that the 'system' is working. If you have a glut of goals, like Man City do, you can understand more diversity on the score sheet but if you're in Spurs' position, you can clearly see just by looking at where the goals are coming from that all is not right.

Fuck Allegri, Uncle Fester, and Berlucunt.
Ramires and Mikel definitely works better defensively, but when you pick Mikel unfortunately you're sacrificing a little something going forward and its really just like having someone who offers nothing in an entire department of the pitch, and an important one at that; scoring goals. Van Ginkel would be getting far more games if he wasn't injured so that's a shame.
Also time to drop Cahill and bring back Luiz. Or move Ivanovic centrally, Dave RB and Cole LB.
You're definitely right, but the most important thing after that City result was getting some points on the board. They've scored 6 in their last 3 games, two of them away wins and one a draw against the champions (altho we r shit), and it'll just be a bit of a morale booster. Mind you, you've just twatted 9 past two different teams in a week. Should be a fun game.
It's absolutely obvious what Spurs need to do when they settle into a rhythm, which is permanently give Soldado someone like Eriksen or Sigurdsson behind him instead of playing three midfielders more inclined to stay deeper, and to get their wingers putting fucking crosses into the box. It's all well and good playing Townsend when he's in the mood for running at full backs, but it literally gives Soldado nothing to do because he will get no service from that player all afternoon.
M'Vila #believe #nothanks #canwebuyafuckingmidfielder
I think the owners watch our games quite a lot and want to get involved and help. They're very attentive to the goings on at the Red Sox and, after having won the World Series they're probably going to be hungry for more success and it wouldn't surprise me if they okay'd a big January purchase so long as it is a sound long-term investment, not just a stop-gap measure to get us through the season.
We've spent our January funds very shrewdly in recent years, minus Andy Carroll.
edit: forgot about M'Vila being at the Hull game. I wonder.

Such a shame that Essien's career was damn near ruined because of injuries. I still like the guy despite his fuck up against Southampton but because of that I don't think Mou will play him any time soon. I'd play him instead of Lampard.
You prefer Terry over Cahill?
I have no doubt that United threw a bid in because it'd be silly to let a player that fits your system so well go abroad, but 80m, no way in hell. If he's worth 80m, why wouldn't they just make it 90m to outbid Real? Levy and Spurs are one of the few cases where I feel like whoever bids highest wins, and the desires of the player aren't really taken into account.
Speaking of Levy, damn he fucked up this summer. Broke the transfer fee record for Spurs twice and all he's gotten out of them are a few penalties and a sprinkling of UEFA Cup goals.
No fucking way did we offer 80m for one player :lol although compared to 30m for Fellaini its a bargain
Yeah, Terry's far better. Getting on, but he's much better at playing the ball out from the back, he's far more intelligent and he's better at organising a defence. I think he's underrated now personally.
That's okay man. We're always here to talk if needs be!
As a gift, here's me smiling at you sans balls

Kassu pls, I also gave an advice.
It was shitty, wasn't it?

Nonstop bullshit time is upon us again.
The Guardian should know better.
Jamie Jackson, you're probably not a completely brainless twat, so why do you write this utter twattery ?
It wouldn't be "landing" him. It would be picking his carcass off the riverbank because Gala don't want it.

That's interesting man, I feel the same way. I like Terry for that leadership quality he brings, same with Cole. Would you call him up to the National team?
Graham Hunter said on Revista that we told Bale we'd match his wages but he told United he's set for Madrid.
I'm guessing we may have agreed a price with Spurs, maybe send Nani over with cash. Can't believe it though.
What's with this Ribiero guy? His agent says we've been in contact but nothing is agreed. Yet the player is going on about how he'd fit in at united and can play anywhere. says he "knows" about United because he's used the team in Video games.
15m lets have him.

You fuckers who never have to take time zone into account are so lucky. World Cup/Euro games are always at like 3 or 4am for me.
Though it could be nice being in Brazil. The Copa America games are usually at watchable times.

15m for a player that uses video games as a metric for life is too much.
Absolutely. I just don't trust Gary Cahill to keep out the best of the best at a World Cup. Obviously he's played in and won CL semis and finals, but Di Matteo sold his fucking soul to whichever heathen was looking for the non-corporeal form of a balloon headed bastard that week. He looks shaky against the likes of Montenegro and Poland, and even more so against Chile and Germany. He will not be good enough if we want any chance of qualifying out of the group. I'd take Terry back in a heartbeat.

Best part about it. Love it
He looks pretty good.
I don't want to finish the season desultorily watching Phil Jones |2013-14| Gols & Dribles
Running time 0.15, a third of which is intro.
Love the World Cup. Every day I'm not at work (which'll hopefully only be two/three times a week while I'm looking for PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT) shall be spent feasting on Brazilian soccer, samba and snatch.
Of course he'd sign a fucking player called Everton. Seems like he's a playmaker which is nice, but hopefully he could play a little deeper.
Seriously, Barkley. Kid's gonna be a world beater if he keeps it up. Let's buy him and then give him the same amount of time as he gets at Everton. And Cabaye. Fucking sanction it Woodward or I'll slice the biggest vein on your inevitably rank average penis.

Ribeiro sounds like a perfect contestant for the bi-annual event where players link themselves to United or Liverpool to make money betting on themselves to not move there. Gaitan was first, Garay next, sounds like Ribeiro is Mk III. Willy Carvalho seems more likely just based on how good he actually seems to be.

It's not just whoever bids highest wins, and the player ultimately does have some say. Luka Modric doesn't play in the Premier League any more and Berbatov went to United and not City.
Oh sorry, somehow I didn't notice your post at all. Thanks to you as well.
And yes, I'm willing to block her if she continues to do more this kind of bullshit but so far there hasn't been any reason to do so. I still respect her and wouldn't want things go that far but that's her choice.
Winger who can play CAM
I'd prefer Carvalho but I suspect he'll go for stupid money to PSG or Monaco.
Cabaye and *Insert Good Player* would be a good january window.

Fuck football. Lets follow a new sport, baby. Is the basketball any good?
It's only a matter of time for Barkley -> United IMO. 30m and it'll happen and he'll be absolutely class for you. I just don't think it'll happen till Summer '15. Don't think Moyes is interested in youth for youth's sake, like Wenger, Rodgers, Klopp. Would Pochettino qualify or is he just playing young players because they're his best XI? His transfers have mostly been young players and he wanted to buy Coutinho as well.
I wish Liverpool would just sneak in in the middle of the night and steal Southampton's whole youth set-up. That Ox, Bale, Clyne, Shaw, Lallana, Ward-Prowse, and Rodriguez have all come through in such a short amount of time is astonishing. Lallana is maybe the only one of those who won't end up at a top club.
